Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - An isolated segment of chert, possibly iron formation, was mapped by the OGS, approximately 1/4 mile north west of the Barton adit near the outlet of Mountain Lake. No iron formation was noted by the OGS in the vicinity of Dycie Lake, but the site was not visited by the mapping party. These bands may be similar to the isolated fragments of iron formation such as the Gibson claims and the Judith iron formation found elsewhere in the vicinity.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence is described as two parallel bands of iron formation. One is 6 feet wide and the other is 4 feet wide with green schist in between. The iron formaiton consists of granular silica banded with darker layers containing a small percentage of iron oxides. A dike of biotite picrite (kimberlite?) was also observed at the site.
