| Deposit | IN SEVERAL RESPECTS, THE DEPOSIT IS SIMILAR TO THAT AT LYNN LAKE, MANITOBA, ALTHOUGH IT ALSO HAS SEVERAL MINERALOGIC AND DISTRIBUTIONAL SIMILARITIES TO THE SUDBURY DEPOSITS. POSITIVE GEOPHYSICAL RESULTS OUTLINED A POSSIBLE ORE ZONE 3,000 FT. IN LENGTH AND WIDTHS IN EXCESS OF 100 FT. HANNA MINING CO. IS DOING EXPLORATION. ; INFO.SRC : 4 OTHER SRC |
