Aug 11, 2017 (A Wilson) - In a 20-foot pit about 250 feet northeastward of the shaft is another vein which has an attitude similar to the one in the shaft. The shaft vein (strike northwest, dip nearly vertical) traverses Keewatin rocks with similar attitude; it has been traced by trenches for about 100 feet southeasterly from the shaft. At surface this vein is up to 7 inches wide; in a gangue of quartz and calcite cobalt mineralization occurs in small amount. Bert Page, present when the work was being done, states that the vein left the shaft at a depth not precisely known but believed to be at about 50 feet; at about this depth the writer saw during a brief examination in 1956 cobalt mineralization in a ¼ inch veinlet. Cobalt mineralization was said to have occurred at greater depth in the shaft but no information is available on the grade or attitude of the veins in which it was contained. Much of the drilling by Quebec Metallurgical Industries Ltd. was to test the vein at less than 50 feet from surface and in the vicinity of the shaft. The shaft is reported to be 156 feet deep and cross-cuts 40 feet northeast, 40 feet southwest, 30 feet east (?) and 30 feet west (?) were driven on the 150-foot level. At about 50 feet below the collar a crosscut, made in 1956, goes about 22 feet southerly from the northwest shaft compartment and then 15 feet in an easterly direction. In a 20-foot pit about 250 feet northeastward of the shaft is another vein which has an attitude similar to the one in the shaft. The shaft vein is 200 ‘long, 7 “ wide and strikes northwest. A second vein occurs northeast of the shaft vein and parallel to it.
