The ores of the Cobalt-Gowganda region occur around the periphery of a 60 km diameter basin. Petruk (1971, p. 77) divided it into the following areas that run counter clockwise around the basin from the south east to the north west: South Lorrain Township, Cobalt Area, Casey Township, Elk Lake Area, Miller Lake Area, Gowganda Lake Area.
The complicated history of the showings, claims, properties, and mines of the region will likely never be sorted out. Most specimens are labelled only "Cobalt, Ontario"
