Apr 21, 2010 (D Guidon) - The veins are located in the Watabeag Batholith near the Huronian contact. The quartz veins or quartz-rich pegmatite dikes strike at 230-35. The vein or veins are exposed over about 50 feet and have a mean thickness of 8 feet. Trenching and diamond drilling along strike failed to locate the veins.

Apr 21, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Horneblende-biotite syenite with numerous recrystallized inclusions forms the host rock. From north to south two flat lying quartz veins are exposed at the south edge of a syenite outcrop. The mean strike of the veins is N 50° E, and dip 35° N. The hanging wall quartz vein is 2 feet wide, glassy and with no apparent mineralization. The principal quartz vein is in the footwall of the above and separated from it by 5 feet of syenite.
