The Nuinsco discovery lies within a belt of rocks 50 miles wide and 200 miles long that was mapped from 1971 to '74 by Quebec government geologists as gneisses and granites with small gabbroic bodies. An INPUT Electromagnetic and magnetic survey was flown by the Quebec government in 1985 over the Lac Rocher area to cover an adjacent north-south trending volcano-sedimentary belt. It identified numerous conductors as well as the Nuinsco bulls-eye magnetic feature. The belt has never been felt to be prospective ground for base metal or gold exploration and so has only received minimal exploration. The only work was in the mid 1990's when some of the pronounced aeromag bulls-eye anomalies were investigated to determine if they were kimberlite intrusions. The 5 by 3 foot outcrop of gabbroic-norite containing clots of disseminated pyrrhotite with visible chalcopyrite and pentlandite was discovered by Pierre Gervais of Rouyn-Noranda's Exploration Services in an area where there has never been any drilling. The only recorded hole in the immediate area was a short pack-sack drill hole located 3 miles west of the Nuinsco discovery under a nickel showing on the west shore of Lac Rocher by Osisko Lake Mines Ltd. in 1961.
