The Walker Moly Prospect is found 140 m south of the
Vaughan-New Ross Road at the community of New Russell, Lunenburg
County. New Russell is 6.4 km east of New Ross, a village on
Highway 12. A swampy area and brook separates the prospect from
the road, so best access is to the workings is by following
a woods road along the south border of the swamp (O'Reilly et
al., 1982). The woods road leads west from a secondary road
that goes from the Vaughan-New Ross Road toward Round Lake.
The entrance to the woods road is 100 m south of the paved Vaughan-New
Ross Road. Follow the woods road west for 240 m to its terminus
at the prospect.

Further
Info:
|
A shaft at the site is water filled and a cement cap has been
placed over it for safety reasons. A waste rock dump surrounds
the shaft and is heavily overgrown.
This prospect is an excellent mineral collecting location. Time
spent rummaging through the waste rock dump will yield excellent
specimens of molybdenite and bornite. The more exotic minerals
reported from the prospect are less common and occur disseminated
in the greisen selvages.
