In calcite vein cutting hornblende granite.
"The deposit was exposed by a trench 33 m long, 2 m wide and 2 to 3 m deep in a clearing north of the Old Mumford Road."
This property is currently under claim to the Municipality of Highlands East, from whom permission is required to collect minerals at the site. The Municipality welcomes collectors, and permission to collect is now obtained by completing an online waiver from the municipal website: https://www.highlandseast.ca/en/explore-and-play/mineral-collecting.aspx?_mid_=17955
Three days notice is requested to ensure your permission to collect is processed.
