Geological Details
The showing consists of two drill holes totalling 100 ft (30.5 m) which were spudded on the northwestern end of a small lake 5.8 miles (9.3 km) northwest of the western end of Campbell Lake. The showing area was mapped by G. Ray as a northeast-trending series of Rottenstone Domain migmatitic gneisses in which the paleosome consists largely of pelitic to semipelitic to meta-arkosic gneisses and schists. South of Eulas Lake, unit 5a contains graphite associated with disseminated pyrite-pyrrhotite. The graphite occurs in a series of gossaned graphitic iron-rich pelitic and semipelitic gneisses. Assays gave up to 0.13% Cu and 0.07% Ni over widths of 1.8 to 6 ft (0.5 to 1.8 m) in granitic biotite migmatite of the Wathaman Batholith. Minor pyrite-pyrrhotite was noted 1.3 miles (2.1 km) to the south on the south shore of the same lake and 3.1 miles (5.0 km) southwest, in northeast- trending shears, as part of an 8 mile (12.9 m) long zone of rust-stained graphitic metasediments that overlie massive pyrite-pyrrhotite bodies.

Exploration History
7/26/1988 In 1959, the International Nickel Company of Canada, Limited drilled the two packsack holes comprising the showing. By 1966, Tundra Holdings Company had staked the showing area as CBS 1230. Tundra completed an airborne EM survey and reconnaissance prospecting over the property (AF 73P13-0006). No significant mineralization was located.
