Jul 15, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - A small medium-grained gabbroic body occurs in the south part of the island formerly known as Island S 176, about 1/2 mile (0.8 km) southeast of Silver Fox Island. Near the south contact the gabbro weathers rusty and contains up to 5 percent fine pyrrhotite and traces of chalcopyrite. The pyrrhotite at one locality gave a positive test for nickel, but contained no gold. (Davies, 1978)
