Feb 18, 2015 (A Wilson) - The northeasterly trending depression through Warner Pond appears to be the surface expression of the Badger fault. The claims are underlain by Nipissing diabase greater than 700 ft thick, dipping gently SSW. Keewatin andesite occurs above the Nipissing Diabase in the SE corner of claim No.566. On the south side of Warner's pond, a cobalt-bearing calcite vein strikes northeasterly; it has been investigated by a shaft, sunk to 100 or 110 feet and a pit, of estimated depth 25 feet, put down some 65 feet northeast of the shaft.
