History
1908: Pitting and trenching of veins.
1917: No.l Shaft was sunk 263' with about 800'
of drifting and crosscutting on no.3
level (230" depth).
1924-26: Development work and mining was
carried out on no.l level (100' depth)
and on no.2 level (175' depth). Production
came mostly from no.l level.. Total
footage of drifts and crosscuts is about
2500'.
No.2 Shaft and No.3 Shaft were also sunk;
these connect with No.l Shaft.
1938-39; Production mainly from the dumps.
GEOLOGY
Steeply dipping Keewatin volcanics are intruded by the
west side of a domed Nipissing quartz diabase sheet up to 1000'
thick. A fault that strikes NE with NW dip occurs near shafts
No.l and No.3. 11 calcite veins*are known on the property of
which no.l was an important producer of silver, cobalt and
nickel. This vein which is up to 4' wide strikes E and locally
contains massive smaltite over a length of 20' on 100* level.
No.2 vein over 1' In width strikes N for 1200' and is also
locally rich in cobalt and nickel.
* The veins and mine workings occur in the volcanics above the
upper contact of the diabase that dips about 22Β°W.
