Nov 01, 2017 (A Wilson) - A number of calcite veins carrying arsenides of cobalt and nickel were discovered chiefly in Brigstocke Township, and evidence of work done exists in the form of trenches and test pits which are now filled with debris. Shafts were put down on the Kreisman claims, which are situated adjacent to the west side of Pickerel Lake.

Nov 01, 2017 (A Wilson) - A shaft sunk on each of these claims in the diabase near the contact with quartzite and vein-material found on the dumps consisted of calcite and crushed diabase with some cobalt bloom, chalcopyrite and hematite. It is reported that a strong vein was followed in both shafts, carrying massive arsenides and native bismuth, and giving low assays in silver. Previous prospecting, trenching and subsequent diamond drilling indicated that little mineralization occurs beneath the trenches. Assay results indicate 2.26% Co, 0.05 oz. Au/ton and <0.10 oz. Ag/ton.
Dec 06, 2022 (Q Unknown) - 1906: grab sample assayed up to 2.26% Co and 1.7 g/t Au in carbonate carbonate vein.
