"One can reach the island, which is part of a protected site, in 1h by boat from Le Conquet. On the shore south of Lampaul, particularly at the Pointe de Ty-Corn as well as in the rocks of Porz-Kored, [there is] arsenopyrite, covellite, pyrrhotite, and tourmaline. Samples of graphite at Penn-ar-Roch." [Belot, 1978]
