Mineralization discovered by Mohawk Cobalt Silver Mines Ltd. in 1907.
GEOLOGY:
A vein, traversing the Nipissing sill and striking N73E and dipping 80°S , is exposed on the 44' level drift for 38' from shaft. Aplite dikes associated with calcite and quartz veinlets follow an irregular fracture zone some 2' wide. Disseminated cobalt and silver mineralization in small quantity occurs in the wallrock of veinlets.
Cobalt bearing veins were discovered and investigated by several shallow pits (depth unknown) and one shaft. The shaft is about
200' deep with levels at 44', 150' and 200';on the 200' level a crosscut some 200' long was driven westward.
