Oct 12, 2011 (B Nelson) - Hopkins (1922) mentioned: 'Large deposits (of pyrrhotite) are also reported by Jake A. Davidson to occur on the east of Ducett Lake, eight miles northeast of Schreiber. Pyrrhotite alone is of no economic value. However, if large masses can be found associated with serpentine or some other basic rocks like norite or diabase, one should always look for some of the following minerals associated with the pyrrhotite: nickel, copper, platinum, gold or silver. No specific geological information is available for the Ducell Lake Occurrence.
