Geology:
Nipissing quartz diabase occurs as a steeply dipping (70°N) intrusion, about 1/4 mile wide, and is intrusive into NW striking shallow dipping Gowganda greywacke of the Cobalt Series about 1000' thick. A N striking fault that dips 50°W occurs as well as the E-W fault in which the Dotsee vein system was
formed.
Production of cobalt was restricted to the vein system in the diabase but mineralization of Cobalt continued into the Gowganda greywacke-beneath.
The shaft is collared within the diabase but near its lower and south contact.
