To the west of the Little Silver Vein is a trail that leads to the Nipissing 96 adit about 250 meters away. This adit was driven to facilitate mining of the 96 vein which outcropped on top of the cliff above the adit. Ice and snow that accumulates in the 96 vein open-cut during the winter produces a cool draft from the adit all summer long. Part way to the adit on the left is a short side trail that illustrates the start of an adit. Also along this trail is an old growth white pine which is thought to be the largest in the Cobalt area.
