Jan 24, 2012 (D Draper) - The Hewitt Shaft [37m deep] is collared on a 10 metre high ridge that drops off into an extensive cedar swamp to the northeast. The showing consists of three trenches, a three by three metre partially capped shaft and a 10 metre high muck pile. Except for the trenches, no outcrop exists in the immediate vicinity. Outcrop in the trenches consists of intermediate tuff to intermediate lapilli tuff. None of the reported iron formation or quartz feldspar porphyry was noted in outcrop. The muck pile is composed of intermediate tuff and breccia with rare feldspar porphyry. Adjacent to the shaft opening, numerous pieces of mineralized vein material were noted. The vein material consists of gray white, sugary quartz with trace to 60% pyrite and pyrrhotite. The sulphides occur in streaks and bands up to 10 cm in width of massive, granular pyrite and pyrrhotite. (Extract from T-3198 / 42A03NE0027, pp. 6-7)
Jan 24, 2012 (A Wilson) - The showing consists of a south striking iron formation in metavolcanics cross cut by porphyry dikes. The iron formation is cross fractured and the fractures are quartz filled.
