GEOLOGY Nipissing diabase in the form of a sill or sheet
dipping E and intrusive into Lorrain sandstone or quartzite
forms a N trending topographical ridge. On the east side of the
ridge in the upper part of the sill a number of silver bearing
veins up to 6" wide strike approximately at right angles to the
diabase contact. The diabase shows marked granophyric alteration
and silver with cobalt arsenides and niccolite occurs in
segregations with dendritic form.
