Sep 02, 2009 (P Hinz) - Diamond drilling intersected silicified rhyolite, greenstone cut by quartz porphyry and quartz veins.
Aug 02, 2022 (Q Unknown) - The Superstition Occurrence, situated southwest of Tabor Lake, is reported to consist of silicified "rhyolite" intruded by blue quartz porphyry dikes and quartz veins. A grab sample from an east-trending structure on claim K.8575 was reported to have assayed 0.82 ounce gold per ton (Superstition Gold Mines, Assessment Files, Resident Geologist's Office, Kenora). The author did not locate the old trenches, but did observe intense iron carbonate alteration in the metavolcanic rocks. Past publications have erroneously reported that the Superstition Occurrence occurs northeast of Tabor Lake. Other gold occurrences in Melgund Township, north of Tabor Lake, share many similar characteristics to those at Tabor Lake. (OFR 5723, p. 90)
