Dec 07, 2005 (R Degagne) - Geological mapping (Satterly 1952; Johnstone and Trowell 1985, 1984; Jensen and Baker 1986; Johnstone 1987; Johnstone and Steele 1989; Vagners 1984; McClenaghan et al. 1988, 1987; Steele 1988) indicates that bedrock in the area consists mainly of weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) volcanic and intrusive rocks of the (Archean) Stoughton-Roquemaure Group. Satterly (1952) reported that: Some asbestos fibre was recognized in two exposures of dunite to the east and west of the Matachewan dike. (p.42).
