A gold mine.
Geology:
Keewatin basalts strike northeast with a general dip of 63SE.
Porphyry stocks of Kenoran age which are generally conformable with the
strike of the lavas but dip more steeply. The veins consist mainly of
quartz and ankerite or calcite with small amounts of chlorite, sericite,
tourmaline and pyrite. The larger veins dip 65NW and the smaller veins
dip steeply to the north or south with the vein zone dipping more
steeply than the country rocks. Near surface the veins are up to 700
feet from the porphyry but below 4,500 feet the veins are within the
porphyry.
Economic Features: The ore zone is 4,500 feet long by 400 feet wide and
5,500 feet deep. Individual ore shoots are about 6 feet wide, 100 to
400 feet in length and extend vertically 3 or 4 times the horizontal
