Access Description: The K.812786 Occurrence (formerly K.718737) is situated on the west shore of Moose Bay of Dinorwic Lake. (OFR5723, p.224)
Province: Superior
Geological Age: Precambrian
Mar 09, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The occurrence is underlain by mafic metavolcanic flows intercalated with intermediate to felsic pyroclastic rocks of the Lower Wabigoon Volcanics. (OFR5723, p.224)
Mar 09, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - K.812786: consists of a 2.4 m deep test pit situated on the northern edge of a large, steep, outcrop. The test pit has been sunk on very fine-grained, pale gray, thickly to thinly laminated, interflow metasediments consisting of chert and siltstone, and surrounded by massive and pillowed, amygdaloidal, metavolcanic flows. The metasediments fracture conchoidally, effervesce vigorously in dilute hydrochloric acid, and are easily scratched. Abundant, massive pyrite occurs throughout the metasediments. Narrow quartz vein stringers occur amongst the sulphides and appear to be fracture-hosted. It was difficult to determine the strike or extent of the metasediments due to poor exposure, but the metasediments may be striking 330? and dipping 50?E. (OFR5723, p.224)

Mar 09, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - K.812786: A grab sample, taken by the author and consisting of metasediments containing very fine-grained pyrite, and fracture-hosted quartz veinlets containing pyrite, assayed 5110 ppb gold. Another grab sample consisting of angular fragments of chert and quartz embedded in massive pyrite, assayed 1.51 ounces gold per ton. (OFR5723, p.224)
