GEOLOGY
Keewatin volcanics cut by Haileyburian hornblende lamprophyre are
intruded by the Nipissing diabase sill,The upper contact of the
Nipissing diabase strikes N and dips 10°W. The Cyril Lake Fault
striking NE traverses the claim.
The host rocks of the silver bearing veins are both Keewatin and
Nipissing diabase. The silver produced came entirely from a vein
that strikes N60W and is located about 820' north of the SW corner
of the claim. Chalcopyrite and pyrite occur with cobalt in a calcite
vein showing epidotization at the North Shaft.
