Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The underlying geology consists of an E-W striking sequence of quartzites and gneisses. Interbedded with the gneisses are graphite-rich beds of medium-grained granular textured quartzites. Graphite is found interbedded with biotite along foliation planes. Flake size averages 1mm, but some flakes are up to 3 mm.

Jan 20, 2014 (A Wilson) - Samples of graphite collected by the Timmins Resident Geologist staff returned analysis of 30.4% C and 30.3% C. Most if not all graphite flakes were smaller in diameter than 600 microns, but the presence of mica flakes and debris in the 150 micron size fraction suggested that there was interlaminated mica. The sample may have the potential of producing high grade flakes in the the -300, +150 micron size fraction.
