Mar 31, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - 'Occasionally the gold-bearing quartz veinlets pass from the felsite dyke into the adjoining Keewatin for several hundred feet, as for example, on the Rogers claim. Up to the present the richer showings have come from a 5-inch quartz vein in Keewatin diabase on the Rogers claim.' REF: ODM 1924, AR VOL 33, PT3, P38, first paragraph.
