Jan 09, 2012 (A McKee) - 1938: ODM grab sample assays 0.03 opt Au.
Aug 16, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - Satterly (1939) described the showing as follows: “On an island just southwest of the mouth of the Stain river, 2 ½ miles east of the Mission, there is a small galena showing. Dacite porphyry and greenstone outcrop on the island. Galena is present at several places, and galena-sphalerite float can be seen along the shores at low-water level. On the north side a silicified greenstone shows irregular lenses and stringers of rusty, sugary quartz carrying some pyrite and, locally, a considerable amount of friable galena. The deposit is very small and may indicate that perhaps more mineral may be present in the lake to the northwest. A grab sample of the quartz carrying galena assayed 0.03 ounces of gold per ton.”
