Lithology Comments

Aug 29, 2019 (Sheree Hinz) - There are several belts of iron formation, one of which has a width of 200 feet. The iron formation is comprised mainly of interbanded chert of various colours. In some places there are magnetite bands, and occasionally the magnetite is of high grade; but magnetite comprises an insignificant portion of the iron formation.
