1919: W. Elliot - stripping, open cut.
The pegmatite is composed of feldspar, quartz, mica, tourmaline and uraninite (pitchblende). The dike is 90 feet long by 10 feet wide, and strikes N40°E.
The first uraninite discovered in Ontario came from the mica mine of Wm. Elliott. The mine was originally opened and worked for mica.(H.V. Ellsworth)
