Point Location Description: The collar to hole #1 drilled by Union Carbide Exploration
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: The best access is via an ATV trail from the road joining the Multi Mineral workings in McNaught township to Nemegos. This trail passes to the west of Lackner Lake and comes to within 400m of the old drill set-up.
1954 M. Silverman carried out a ground magnetic survey in conjunction with a geological reconnaissance mapping program over a large claim group east of the Multi Mineral deposits. This work identified a number of magnetic anomalies hosted in nepheline syenite and eleven holes were drilled to test these anomalies for niobium mineralization in the same year. Reportedly values of 0.29% Nb2O5 were obtained but from which hole are unknown. 1959 M. Silverman resumed a diamond drilling program and an additional 18 holes were drilled. These holes were concentrated along the southern ring of the alkalic complex but other concentrations were along the fault trending southwest from the complex, the fault trending northeast from the complex, and along the eastern margin of the complex. Most of these holes were abandoned in deep overburden and no assays are reported for those holes that reached bedrock. 1969 Union Carbide drilled one relatively deep hole in the centre of the alkalic complex which intersected nepheline syenite with low niobium values and trace amounts of rare earth elements. 2011: 6378366 Canada Inc.- AEM.

Geological Age: Mesoproterozoic Geochronological Age: 1078 +/- 7 MA Geochron. Age Ref.: OGS STUDY 32, P. 32
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The Lackner Lake Complex consists of peripheral and core nepheline syenite separated by a partial ring of mafic alkalic rocks (ijolite and malingite). All units are cross cut by magnetite-apatite dikes. Lamprophyre dikes also are reported to crosscut the complex. The complex is enclosed by the rocks of the Kapuskasing Structural Zone.

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - The mineralization is hosted in a coarse grained nepheline syenite. General petrographic details are reported in Parsons (1961) and Sage (1983).
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The core reportedly consists of coars-grained nepheline syenite cut by two lamprophyre dikes from 222 to 228 feet and 490 to 493 feet.
