The Watten-Halkirk copper prospect, Rainy Lake area, western Ontario.

The thesis area is located along the south shore of Grassy Portage Bay and along the west shore of Redgut Bay of Rainy Lake, in the townships of Watten and Halkirk in the Fort Francis Mining Division of Western Ontario. It is underlain by a series of metamorphised basic intrusives, volcanic rocks, sedimentary rocks and two granitic intrusive of early (?) Precambrian age. All intrusives are apparently younger than the stratified rocks; the granites are probably the youngest rocks in the area. The meta-basic intrusives consist of a main mass of hornblende gabbro and lesser amounts of associated rocks which are thought to be differentiates of the gabbro magma.
