The Mon graphite occurrence is located just north of Munro Creek, approximately 5.5 kilometres upstream from its mouth. Metasediments containing graphite occur over a wide area (several square kilometres) and are found in spotty occurrences northwest and southeast of this locality.

The hostrocks form part of the upper amphibolite-grade rocks of the Proterozoic Wolverine Complex, which are highly metamorphosed Proterozoic Ingenika Group rocks.

Graphite occurs as disseminated flakes 1 to 5 millimetres in length and in concentrations as high as 4.75 per cent (Assessment Report 14545). These graphite flakes are found in marbles, calc-silicates, or biotite schists. As well, nearly pure graphite layers (with lesser calc-silicates) up to 6 centimetres thick are also reported.

Work History

In 1984, the area was staked and prospected as the Mon claims. During 2006 through 2011, Paget Minerals completed programs rock and silt sampling, geological mapping, and a combined airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, totalling 564.4 line-kilometres, on the area as the Mount Bisson property. This work was centred on rare earth element–bearing mineralization.

In 2006, Paget Minerals Corp. conducted a 595 line-kilometre airborne geophysical total field magnetic and radiometric survey approximately 1 kilometre east of the Mon occurrence on the Mount Bisson property.
