Nov 01, 2017 (A Wilson) - This occurrence is located on a patented island near the southern part of Lake Anima Nipissing in Brigstocke Township..Associated brecciation and/or disseminated sulphides and/or other vein systems are absent in the host diabase. Intense quartz veining is prominent at the nearby Archean-Proterozoic unconformity located to the west of the Sugar Loaf Island occurrence. These barren veins cut both Archean rocks and Early Proterozoic rocks of the Coleman Member and are probably related to the intrusion of Nipissing diabase. This geological environment is analogous to the Cobalt Camp and thus further prospecting and exploration for Cobalt-type mineralization is recommended in the area around the Sugar Loaf occurrence.
