Jan 13, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - On mining location D149 in Bag bay of Shoal Lake, about a half mile from the Mikado mine, is a vein in grey granite, below the lake during high water. The vein is about a foot wide and consists principally of quartz in which scales of molybdenite nearly half an inch in diameter are scattered rather abundantly. Much of the molybdenite is oxidized so as to form the yellow oxide of molybdenum, molybdite. The vein at this place is mostly under water and in all probability not more than 20 feet could be exposed above water (Parsons, 1911).
