Lithology Comments

Aug 14, 2017 (A Wilson) - The veins are associated with Keewatin interflow sedimentary bands. Nipissing diabase cuts the Keewatin at depth. Small calcite veins occur in the Nipissing diabase. The axis of Schumann Lake Diabase Arch strikes northeast through the claim. The only hole reported to have passed through the Keewatin exposed at surface into the underlying Nipissing diabase is the one designated K-2 on Map P.95. Burke reports that the Keewatin- Nipissing contact was intersected in K-2; collar 350 feet south and 415 feet east of the northwest claim corner (direction-north, inclination - 400 ) at footage 206, that is, at a depth of 133 feet below the collar. The only mention of cobalt or silver is a 6-inch intersection of disseminated cobalt mineralization reported at core length 70 feet in a hole (designated K1 on Map P.95) whose collar was situated 525 feet south of 755 feet east of the northwest corner of Claim T.2312




Mineralization Comments

Aug 14, 2017 (A Wilson) - The only mention of cobalt or silver is a 6 inch intersection of disseminated cobalt mineralization reported at core length 70 feet in a hole (designated K-l on Map P.95) whose collar was situated 525 feet south of 755 feet east of the northwest corner of Claim T.2312 and which was drilled at -38º in direction of N10ºW.
