Aug 08, 2017 (A Wilson) - 300’ to 800’ of Nipissing diabase overlies about 200’ of flat lying Cobalt series sediments, unconformably above steeply dipping Keewatin volcanics. The ore-bearing veins mostly occur in the sediments within a northwest trending paleovalley; but ore is also present in the diabase and rich shoots have been found in the underlying volcanics. The veins occur in two sets striking N to NW and E to NE.
