Dec 07, 2005 (P Beach) - Numerous narrow, discontinuous NW-trending bands of iron formation in a zone 4.5 miles long and 3.5 miles wide interbedded with Archean metavolcanics and sediments and intruded by mafic dikes. Iron formation consists of quartz (chert, jasper) and magnetite and ranges from chert or lean iron formation to a band 100 feet by 6 feet, a sample of which assayed 59.60% Fe. Two main bands, which merge into one band in the NW, were traced for 6000 feet. NE band is lean iron formation mixed with schists and has a maximum thickness of 75 feet; SW band is up to 150 feet thick. Channel samples taken over widths of 100 feet or more assayed in the order of 33% Fe and 60% SiO2 (ODM 1968 MRC 11 P 43-44). The Boyle Lake Occurrence (ODM 1968 MRC 11 P 45) is part of the Central Goulais Iron Range.
