Feb 18, 2010 (C Ravnaas) - The previous owners and operators are the Rainy Lake Mining and Power Company. Mining operations have been conducted here off and on for a year. There is a vertical shaft, depth, 22.8 metres; size, 1.5 by 2.5 metrs. First level: depth 21.3 metres; crosscut north 22 degrees west, length 7.3 metres. The deposit consists of a large body of clear quartz apparently lying in the folds of the formation, for the strike of both is the same, namely, northeast and southwest, and also the dip, 80 degrees northwest. The shaft was sunk in solid quartz at the top but in only 0.3 metre of it towards the bottom owing to the dip of the vein. The country rock is a finely schistose green trap which near the vein is altered to a chloritic schist. The 7.3 metre crosscut at the bottom of the shaft was driven through to its face in vein matter composed of quartz lenses and stringers interbanded with chloritic quartzose schist, the quartz at one place being 1.5 metres in solid width. When the crosscut strikes the hanging wall it is the intention to drift along this to a point under the highest exposure of the vein and then upraise to the surface. (OBM ARV10, p.100, 1901). Basic metavolcanics encloses large NE striking quartz body, dip 80°NW. During 1900, a shaft sunk 22.8 meter level on which 7.3 metres of crosscutting was done. Work by Rainy Lake Mining and Power Co.
