Access Description: The occurrence is located 70 km south-southwest of Dryden, northwest of Manitou Stretch, between Grant Lake to the south and Napanee Lake to the north. Road access to the property is from Hwy 502, along the Cedar Narrow Road to the landing on the Manitou Stretch. A short boat trip of about 20 km reaches the occurrence. The occurrence consists of one shaft. The author estimated the shaft to be 33.5 metres deep. (OFR 5731, p. 79)
1901: Gold Standard Mining Co. sunk a shaft to a depth of 45.7 metres with 6.0 metres of drifting. The shaft was collared on a 2.5 metres wide quartz vein. 1989: Canhorn Mining Corporation optioned the property from R. Fairservice.

Feb 18, 2010 (C Ravnaas) - Rocks in the vicinity of the shaft are vesicular pillowed mafic metavolcanics and glomeroporphyritic mafic metavolcanics, containing elongate quartz eyes. Structure and Alteration: The shear is not well exposed, but appears to trend northerly. The schistosity strikes 049° and dips 85° to the southeast. In the south wall of the shaft, a 3 m wide portion of the shear zone is exposed which consists of sericite-chlorite-ankerite-(fuchsite) schist, injected by many quartz veins and veinlets. The quartz vein is white to light grey, and opaque. The veins contain ribbons of chlorite and sericite. Fractures in the quartz are filled with calcite. Accessory minerals are ankerite and muscovite. The sulphide consists of 1% pyrite, in both the quartz veins and the schists. (OFR 5731, p. 79, 80)

Feb 18, 2010 (C Ravnaas) - A grab sample of the quartz vein in the dump returned 50 ppb gold on analysis, whereas a sample of the wallrock gave 4 ppb gold. (OFR 5731, p. 79, 80)
