Feb 12, 2021 (Sheree Hinz) - Algoma Type banded iron formation surrounded by diabase. NE-trending lenses up to 1 mile long of magnetite-quartz (chert, jasper) iron formation with minor amounts of pyrite. Widths are up to 400 feet, but thickness is less than 100 feet and usually less than 50 feet. Dips range from 30 SE to vertical.

Feb 12, 2021 (Sheree Hinz) - The grade is mainly between 15 and 30% Fe but assays of 36.34% Fe, 49.78% SiO2 and 42.08% Fe, 43.30% SiO2 have been recovered. Magnetic tests on 2 samples assaying 15.50 and 16.00% Fe gave concentrates between 58.10 and 65.30% Fe, and 14.68 and 8.24% SiO2 at -325M and -400M for a 23.21 to 24.06 percent weight recovery and 90.19 to 94.74 percent Fe recovery.
