Aug 14, 2017 (A Wilson) - The vein is said to dip southerly out of the shaft at 35 feet and to have been intersected by the crosscut. Steeply dipping pillowed Keewatin andesite lava striking ESE, and facing NNE underlies most of the claim. In the southeast corner the Keewatin rocks are overlain by Cobalt series conglomerate and strikes NNE and gently dips west-northwest. Both the conglomerate and and andesite are cut by a nort-west striking Keweenawan diabase dike.
