Three shafts with underground workings:
South shaft: depth unknown but a 15'drift and 37'crosscut were driven on 45' level.
A pit was dug 50 feet south of the shaft.
Middle shaft was sunk 75'.
North shaft was sunk about 150'
The South-shaft vein, was cobalt bearing with minor silver, follows a northerly striking and 75°E dipping fault at the contact between conglomerate to the east and Keewatin lavas to the west.
The pit south of the shaft on this vein and fault exposes cobalt and galena.
The North-shaft vein on the 106-foot level where it traverses
deformed Keewatin sediments is made up of calcite, pyrite and
chalcopyrite.
The Middle-shaft calcite vein strikes east and follows sedimentary bands.
