Feb 27, 2009 (R Degagne) - Lake Panache is predominantly underlain by Huronian metasedimentary rocks which have been intruded by Nipissing diabase. Felsic plutonic rocks and metamorphosed gneiss occur to the north. Soapstone is reported by Wilson (1926) as 'a vein - like body of soapstone 2 or 3 feet wide' occurring within Huronian quartzite. The occurrence is near the contact between the metasedimentary rocks and the diabase. The soapstone would appear to represent an altered inclusion of diabase.
