Apr 30, 2020 (Therese Pettigrew) - A deposit of pyrite outcrops on a point along the north shore of Vermilion Lake about a mile west of Rolling Portage. The showings are situated on location H.W. 785 and are referred to in an earlier report as the Fanning prospect. Trenching through the drift has exposed seams of pyrite ranging from 2 to 6 feet in width contained in pillow lava. The deposit appears to strike east and west and dips to the north. Borings made out from the shore are said to have intersected a body of pyrite 20 feet in width (Hurst, 1932).
