Jan 18, 2018 (Therese Pettigrew) - Just beside the mouth of the creek that flows into the east end of Werner Lake from the north, a small plug of peridotite about 49 m long and up to 15 m in width was outlined by shallow diamond drilling (Carlson, 1957).

Jan 18, 2018 (A Wilson) - Best intersections assayed: 0.48% Ni over 19.2 m; 0.38% Ni over 19.8 m; 0.49% Ni over 4.7 m; and 0.31% Ni over 16.3 m. Drilling intersected a 48 m by 14 m wide zone averaging 0.4% Ni, 1.76% Cu, 0.54% VO5, and 4.12% Cr (Shklanka, 1969).
Nov 04, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - Early Precambrian metasediments and felsic intrusives are cut by an easterly trending fault along which is located a 147 feel long by 47 feet wide Early Precambrian peridotite body with an average content of 0.40% Ni, 1.76% Cu, 0.54% VO5 and 4.12% Cr. The mineralization occurs as disseminated pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. To the east 1.5 miles, there is a second mineralized body of disseminated chalcopyrite in paragneiss (SMDR 00497).
