Geology:
PreCambrian
age white marbles intruded by aplitic and quartz feldspar dykes.
Mineralization:
Flake
graphite hosted by marbles occurs close to the contacts with acid
intrusives. Massive and semi-massive graphite zones are commom.
One zone 30' wide along
a strike distance of at least 2000 feet in length.
Work:
1880:
First discovered
1917: First work, stripping & trenching (Beidelman &
Lyall)
until ~1996: Surface & mining rights held by private
individuals
1998: Mining rights came open, property was staked,
detailed geological mapping
and VLF/EM surveys (R. Stewart)
1999: Stripping and sampling (R. Stewart)
Property
Details & Access:
Geological ore reserves of at least 500,000 t grading 8.00%
graphite have been
identified.
Additional stripping and diamond drilling are required to verify
and expand the above tonnages.
