Site Visit Information

Date: Jul 07, 1993

Geologist: K Houle

Notes: An attempt was made to visit this occurrence because of the reported high assays submitted with the assessment file and lack of geological description. The area of the occurrence was visited but after several hours of searching no sign of a 'pit' was located. The prospectors sketch of the location of the pit does not indicate any precise location or dimensions of the pit. The occurrence may have been inadvertently overlooked as the area is covered with densely packed 10 yr old poplar trees which reduces visibility.


Date: Jul 08, 2015

Geologist: P Bousquet

Notes: A second attempt was made with a revised point location based on old claim maps and map from assessment file. The area is tough to trudge with fallen trees covered with moss. Cedar trees are rather common. Some places in the vicinity may actually hint at a boulder field.
