The mine is on private property, and permission may be granted from Mr. Wm Baker to visit the site.
Mineralization is hosted in granite pegmatite hosted in biotite gneiss. Graphic granite occurs here also.
The pegmatite consists of pink to almost white microcline, colourless to smoky quartz, and biotite. Accessory minerals include garnet (crystals averaging 5mm in diameter), pink zircon (crystals about 2mm long), and euxenite. (T.S Ercit, pers. comm.,1987). Some pale pink graphic granite occurs in the deposit.
The mine was operated for feldspar in 1941 by T.B. Tough. It consists of an open cut into the side of a hill at the south end of Hungry (Carmen) Lake. It is about 3km north of Cecebe Village and 13km northwest of Burk's Falls."

A hill just south of Carmen (Hungry) lake on lot 18, concession III, Chapman township, is composed of a garnet-biotite augen gneiss with a 25-foot band of rusty-weathering, sugary biotite-graphite gneiss carrying 10 per cent, (estimated) graphite in flakes half a millimetre to l millimetre in diameter. The trend is N. 450 E., and the dip 800 N.W. The band is reported to be traceable for miles. This showing had been stripped by T. B. Tough and associates and was visited by the writer on June 27, 1941.
