GEOLOGY
Much of the claim is covered by overburden, 70' deep in the NE part where the Cobalt Lake, Valley and Cross Lake faults intersect.
The Keweenawan olivine diabase dike occurs parallel and adjacent to the N.W. Cross Lake Fault.
The lower contact between the Nipissing diabase sill and Cobalt sediments occurs at the south end of the claim.
These sediments increase in thickness northwards from 300' to 700'.
6 minor veins in the sediments strike N and contained silver in proximity to the diabase contact in the southeast corner of the claim.
