Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The iron fomration consists of lenses and bands of interbedded chert and magnetite lying within fine-grained metasediments. Two bands of iron formation have been mapped. The south band underlies Magnetic Point and continues westward with folded and faulted interruptions to the south shore of Carter Lake. The north band lies approximately 450 m to the north and extends westward for 1500 m.
