General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit "Six bodies of magnetite-ilmentie are found along" secs. 15 and 15. "Massive anorthosite encloses the bodies, but the contacts are not visible in the field. A granite dike cuts the magnetite-ilmenite body near the center. The material is similar to the magnetite-ilmenite at Iron Mountain.
