Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - A unit of chert-magnetite iron formation and siltstone strikes NW-SE, dips to the NE and occurs within felsic tuff. Trenches have exposed auriferous quartz veins in the sediments. Sampling by the Ontario Geological Survey in 1969 indicates the gold-bearing zone may be 245 m long.

Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - Auriferous quartz veins occur in the iron formation and the siltstone, and the zone my be 245 m long. Ore minerals are gold, silver, with minor pyrite. Grab samples by the OGS show the quartz vein assays at 0.08 opt Au and tr Ag. Quartz in iron formation assayed at 0.46 opt Au and tr Ag, while the iron formation with massive pyrite assayed 0.01 opt Au and 0.17 opt Ag.
