Apr 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - At the east end of Whitefish Island, a shallow pit in felsic metasediments and pyroclastics has exposed some massive pyrite stringers. Hurst (1932, p.31) states that: A vein of pyrite, 3 to 4 feet wide, is exposed near the water's edge. It occurs in schistose quartz porphyry and strikes N80E. A short distance inland a pit was sunk through 15 feet of drift to the vein. At this point the mineralization occurs at the contact between porphyry and sedimentary schist, and the vein contains nearly 2.5 feet of nearly solid pyrite. Little pyrite can be observed because of the decomposed nature of the rock and slumping in the pit (Johnston, 1972).
