Jul 24, 2017 (A Wilson) - Nipissing diabase dips gently to the south and underlies the south boundary of the claims. The diabase dips under Keewatin andesite in the southern part of the claims. Two branches of the Badger Fault cut claim 1355 with northeasterly and east-northeasterly strikes. In claim 1494, the Badger Fault has a north-northeasterly strike.
Jul 24, 2017 (A Wilson) - Three northeasterly striking veins (Nos.4, 5 and 6) as well as No.7, striking a few degrees east of north have been explored to some extent. Vein No, 5 has been explored by a great trench along it for about 1,100 feet and by three shafts (Nos.3, 4 and 5). Cobalt mineralization can be seen in places along this vein, but the caved condition of the trench as well as the lack of information on results obtained from underground work precluded the possibility of appraising its value. The vein dips steeply to the northwest possibly at about 80°; it is said to have had a width of 15 to 20 inches in many places. Underground exploration on this vein was extensive. No.3 shaft appears to be less than 30 feet deep from the size of the dump. No 4 shaft, inclined at 79°, is reported to have reached a depth of 70 feet by1908 and further work was done. No.5 shaft is reported to be 344 feet deep with levels at 75, 140 and 344 feet. At least 33 feet of drifting was done onthe 75-foot level; it is not clear whether the statement in the reference "From the drift on the 75-foot level, 120 feet southwest of the shaft, a winze was sunk a depth of 100 feet, and 320 feet of drifting done at this level" refers to shaft No.4 or shaft No.5. On the 140-foot level of shaft No.5, drifts were made north and south on the vein. On the 344-foot level, a drift was run southwest 300 feet and a crosscut driven from the end of this drift,140 feet to the south boundary of the property.
