Notes: The Quartz Lake occurrence consists of several prospector blasted pits measuring 2 m by 4 m by 2 m deep in bedrock at the edge of the south shore of the east arm of Quartz Lake. Host rock includes a coarse grained syenodiorite to gabbro intrusive rock and mafic volcanic rocks affected by a fault zone that trends 125 degrees. The Peterlong Lake batholithic complex outcrops 1 km south of the occurrence and a large northeast trending Abitibi dike is offset in the immediate vicinity of the occurrence. Quartz veining is abundant and numerous quartz boulders occur along the shore of the lake, hence its name. In the west pit, at NAD 83, Zone 17, 470257E, 5344240N, irregular quartz veining carries pyrite and chalcopyrite and malachite staining is present.
