Aug 08, 2017 (A Wilson) - ) In 1951 A. T. Stone investigated the vein by a drill hole; at a vertical depth of 47 feet below surface the vein consisted of about 60 per cent calcite over a width of 9 inches; chalcopyrite made up about 20 per cent of the vein; Stone reported that assay of the vein showed the presence of a trace of cobalt and less than one oz. silver per ton. The vein strikes N85ºE and dips 85ºN in Nipissing diabase. Chalcopyrite with traces of cobalt and silver occur in the vein.
