Dec 07, 2005 (R Tuomi) - The North Mine Lake showing is underlain by a north to north- east trending sequence of metabasalt to the west in contact with medium grained gabbro. Thin layers of felsic tuff with fine grained to porphyritic flows occur at or near the contacts of metabasalt and gabbro. The strike is generally north to north-northwest and dips vary from 90 degrees to 6 degrees to the east.

Dec 07, 2005 (R Tuomi) - 1935: Grab samples (Clippings) reports visible gold in 10 feet wide vein. More outcrop is reported on lake shore to southwest. 1947: SLKT AF 52J02NE-0026-B1 . Assay 0.27 ounce gold per ton over 5 ft (#1) and 0.065 ounce gold per ton over 15 feet approximately 400 m north of Mine Lake. 1986: SLKT AF 52J02NE-0012-E1. Drilled #2 Zone ( 250 m north of north shore of Mine Lake), no assays.
Aug 04, 2022 (Q Unknown) - E.S. Moore (1911) discussed the area surrounding Ouillette Lake. He mentioned claims SV 421 and SV 422 which include the south and north ends of Mine Lake. While the report is not conclusive, it suggests that SV 422 is equivalent to Mine Lake North occurrence. Moore (1911) described the area: “On location S.V.422 there is a pit on a large mass of quartz. The pit is about 14 feet wide, and the quartz extends almost across it. On another claim a mass of stringers appearing on the surface unite in a pit to form a vein about 8 feet wide. The rock in which the veins occur is largely coarse greenstone, the gangue is mostly quartz, and the other minerals in the vein chalcopyrite and pyrite. The veins in places form some of the largest in the region, and some of them carry gold, but they show a tendency to break up in to small stringers or otherwise become irregular.”
