Aug 30, 2010 (A Wilson) - The green carbonate south of Edleston Lake is brown weathering and is cut by a network of quartz and quartz-carbonate veins and stringers up to 3 inches or more in width. The veins are discontinuous and vuggy with well developed quartz crystals in some vugs. The rock is well-mineralized with fine disseminated pyrite. Shearing is common in the carbonate rock and the veins often show small drag folds.

Aug 30, 2010 (G Seim) - Green carbonate rock is a mappable unit in many parts of the Western Abitibi. It is commonly thought to result from the alteration of ultramafic rock. E.S. Abraham (1953) reports the green carbonate south of Edleston Lake is brown weathering and is cut by a network of quartz and quartz-carbonate veins and stringers up to 3 inches or more in width. The veins are discontinuous and vuggy with well developed quartz crystals in some vugs. The rock is well-mineralized with fine disseminated pyrite. Shearing is common in the carbonate rock and the veins often show small drag folds. The carbonate has probably developed along an ancient shear zone.
