Jul 26, 2017 (A Wilson) - A varied assemblage of Keewatin rocks striking a little east of north and with steep dips is exposed at surface over nearly all the property. The stratigraphic succession is believed to be upward from west to east. Near the west boundary is andesitic lava, showing pillow structure. East of this is a variable grey volcanic rock, in many places a breccia, in others tuffaceous. Fragments in the breccia are commonly porphyritic with amphibole phenocrysts to 1/8 inch; lava of similar appearance is exposed in the Beaver claim to the south. East of this is a sedimentary band,the west part of which is unbedded; this is followed by well bedded greywacke which is succeeded to the east by cherty iron formation with a width of some 120 feet. The iron formation is exposed at surface some 300 feet north and 200 feet west of the southeast corner of claim No.1110. Siliceous beds are intercalated with chlorite garnetiferous schist. In places magnetite is abundant. The iron formation band is intersected in surface drill hole S-l (at 430 to 498 feet) of the Silver Hill claim adjoining to the east; this indicates a strike of N.40 º E.

Jul 26, 2017 (A Wilson) - Silver-nickel-cobalt mineralization occurs on the property and Knight reports the presence of a short shoot of high grade ore. Derry, a prospector familiar with the property, reported that 2 tons of hand-cobbed cobalt ore was obtained from the pit about 190 feet west and 440 feet north of the southeast corner of claim No.1110 by small operators.
