The gabbro-norite plug is about 120 meters wide and plunges east at 45 degrees. The differentiated sulphides originated from a magmatic origin which could be over 2 kilometers deep.

There is no evidence I saw in the magnetic, gravity, or EM maps to indicate a large magmatic body occurs under the eastern extension of the plug.

The gabbro bodies to the northwest of Lac Rocher have good potential for similar gabbroic plugs, however no strongly pyrrhotitic sulphide outcrop has been found there.

So the east-plunging gabbroic plug sits alone with no reasonable potential for a large magmatic feeder-body within 1 km of surface.
