Mar 01, 2011 (A Wilson) - The shaft is sunk on rusty hornblende gneiss. A mineralized zone trends N30°E and dips 65°SE. The zone is exposed on surface at 60 and 105 feet from the pit. The area has recently been mapped as intermediate to felsic layered granulites.

Mar 01, 2011 (A Wilson) - A grab sample collected by J. Satterly in 1942 returned 0.13% Cu. Pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite is found in fractures in pegmatite and disseminated in the gneiss. A 2-4 foot wide silicified zone on the northeast wall of the pit is mineralized with pyrrhotite. The chalcopyrite sometimes forms thick seams of solid ore, while in other parts pyrite and pyrrhoitite occur as solid masses nearly free of chalcopyrite.
