ROSSLAND,B.C., July 2 , 1919.

REPORT ON THE MCCARTHY - WEBB GROUP.

GOODREAU. ONTARIO.

PROPERTY:

There are seven claims in the group, Kos. 2048, 2049, 2050,

2051,2053,2101,2052.

LOCATION:

The claims are situated in the Algoma District, Sault Ste.

Marie, Mining division, Province of Ontario, and are about one mile

east from the Nicholas Chemical Comapny's property at Goodreau. A

standard gauge spur operated by the Chemical Company has been built

from the main line of the Algoma Central Railway at Goodreau to with

in half a mile of the property.

GEOLOGY S VEINS:

The rock formation consists largely of light gray quartz

felspar porphyry. The porphyry varies from a massive structure to a

schistose one, and can be traced along the strike east and west for

several claims. The dip is north at probably 60". On claim 2050

there are three distinct parallel ridges and on these ridges, stringers

of quartz are found, varying from a few inches to eight feet wide, and

it is in these stringers the values appear to be carried.

East and west from this group there are very large deposits

: of iron pyrites and there is strong evidence that similar deposits

exist on this group. g ifc^B l O AT P

,* POOR QUALITY ORIGINALWORK: TO FOLLOW

Trenching and stripping has been carried on at various

places on the group and has demonstrated that stringers of quartz

and bunches of pyrites are spread over a great width.

TIMBER S POWER;

There is no timber on the cliams for mining purposes and

provided and option be obtained on the group electrical power could

probably be transmitted from the Algoma Power Company plant about

fourteen miles from Goodreau.

CONCLUSION;

In view of the favourable location of this group as re

gards transportation and power, together with the values obtained

over fair width, I would recommend that an option be taken, pro

vided satisfactory arrangements can be made and if such can be

accomplished I suggest that claims 2048, 2052, 2053 and 2102 be

dropped as I do not consider they have anything to merit them

other than probable pyrite bodies, and include- along with the

three remaining claims of the group numbers 2062, 2063 owned by

Webb and associate. I would further suggest that three diamond

drill holes be bored at a minus angle to cross cut the three rid

ges on claim 2050, one of these holes to be bored under the sec

tion showing the highest values and the other two, say, 500 feet

apart, These holes should cross cut the three ridges 200 feet

below the surface.

It is just probable that low values may be obtained

for considerable widths on these ridges, therefore it would be

advisable in the event of diamond drilling to assay all the

core in, say, three foot sections.

MONTH OF AUG" 1931 - TO FOLLOW

Goudreau, Ontario, Sept. 14th, 1931,

G.H. Kilburn, Esq., Trail, B.C.

Dear Sir:I beg to submit the following report

on our operations at the McCarthy-Webb Property, Goudreau, Ontario, during the month of August.

Under separate cover I am mailing a tracing of the assay plan, a general plan and tracings of the sections showing the diamond drill holes (those for which we have records).

Sampling was continued throughout th month on the same scale as before. A much greater amoung of trenching was found necessary as fcrenehin sampling proceeded so that progress was slow. However we have found it impossible to lay out much work in advance of day to day assay returns without running a great chance of performing a lot of useless work so we have not attampted to increase our crew.

Sampling on the so-called high grade vein was extended as assay returns encouraged us and some results are yet to come but pick it up on the east side of the diabase dike without success. There is an unknown amount of displacement due to faulting on the dike but apparently it is not great. However the country to the east of it is generally heavy overburdened and any further surface work there would be very expensive.

There is now no doubt that the high vein is continous across the draw between departures 3200 and 3300 but assay results are pretty low. However there are more to come and I would prefei to withold further discussion until these are received.

At the present moment we are engaged in exposing and sampling a very promising appearing quartz vein which we have just discovered. Pannings from it are encouraging but no results are available yet. It is about 122 in width and lies parallel to the northernmost of the two andesite dikes shown on the plan and about 30 feet south of it.

About ten day's work will accomplish all that can be done on this vein without undue expense.

Yours truly

GEOLOGICAL AND GENERAL REPORT ON OPERATIONS TO DATE SEPT. 14, 1931. ON THE MCCARTHY-WEBB PROPERTY.

G.H. Kilburn, Esq.,

Trail, B.C.

Dear Sir : ,^,

I beg to submit the following report

dealing with the Geology of and our operations to date on the

McCarthy-Webb Property, Goudreau, Ontario.

The country rocks of the Goudreau Area are largely

Keewatin volcanics. These are intruded by dikes, bosses etc. ofi

quartz felspar porphyry and other acid intrusives. Intruding all of

these is a series of olivine and quartz diabase dikes and a series

of smaller dikes of mica diorite.

The country rocks outcropping on the McCarthy-Webb

are greenstones and what is generally thought to be a quartz felspar

porphyry although it if to be noted that Ellis Thompson identified

this rock from a thin section, made from a specimen selected by

ourselves, as an acid volcanic tuff. The contact of these two rocks

passes through the centre of the property in a northwesterly

direction and dips at a steep angle to the north. The greenstone

at the contact has been altered to a chlorite schist for some distance

back from it. It is scantily mineralized with pyrite but sampling

results from the greenstone side have been low. Neither do good

values appear to occur in that portion of the porphyry which is

is close to the contact although our results do not indicate this

conclusively. Porphyry and greenstones extend respecti1

north and south of the contact for unknovm distances although it

would appear that this particular body of porphyry is about a

thousand feet in width. The south contact can be traced for more

than two miles to the east but its westerly extent is unknown.

A pyrite deposit, believed commercially important, lies

in the greenstone south of the south shore of Webb Lake on the

south boundary of the McCarthy-Webb and probably dips into the

latter at depth.

A large diabase dike around 50 feet wide cuts across

the east end of the area covered by the assay plan in a direction

about N 30 W. It is very persistent and can be traced across country

in either direction for several miles. Some displacement northward

due to faulting on this dike has been noted on its east side but it

is probably not over 200 feet.

Through the centre of the assay map area two dikes

(or branches of the same one) determined by Thompson as andesite

porphyrite, have been intruded. They are from a few inches to 10 feet

in width. The appearance of their weathered surface is almost

identical with that of the porphyry and their existence was only

discovered a few weeks ago. Another of these has been noted on

claim 2051 near the government road.

Numbers of shear zones traverse greenstones and

porphyry in a direction varying from N 60 E to S60 E. The intensity

of shearing in the porphyry is in general not great and individuals

are poorly defined and rarely over 3 feet wide. Along planes of

foliation and shearing the porphyry has been partially altered

to serecite schist containg very minor amounts of ankerite. These

shears vary greatly in dip locally but average to about 70 north.

l to 12" in width have been developed. Narrow stringers of finely

'^ crystalling tourmaline accompany the quartz, lying within it or

alongside it. That is to say this is very frequently the case. Very

often the quartz in a given shear dies out in a short distance

but the tourmaling stringer with it may persist for a considerable

distance and serve as the only guide in following it till opens up

again into a definite quartz veinlet. Very frequently such weak appearingover 4 to 5 foot widths

spots are found to carry undiminished values/although our work shows

clearly that no gold values in excess of 40 cents are found in the

schist outside of the quartz-tourmaline stringers except in odd spots

where the schist have been partially silicified. The quartz of these

veinlets is of the dense finely crystalling variety generally

mottled and stained which is commonly considered as "live". Showings

of coarse visible gold are very frequent in almost any of the stringers.

Pyrite mineralization is scanty and the greater part of the gold

at least appears to be free. The whole surface of porphyry exposed

is almost completely unoxidized so that we believe it unnecessary

to shoot into the weathered surface to obtain reliable sampling

results so that very little blasting has been done and that where

extraordinary conditions were encountered.

TO FOLLOWandesite dikes, being cut and displaced by the latter. They vary in

width from tiny veinlets to 24" wide but are of but short lateral

extent, pinching out at either end in short distances. There seens

to be a rather definite relation between their maximum width and their

length. The quartz is glassy in appearance, stained in spots with

iron.

To get back to a discussion of the older set of veins

it will be observed from the assay and geological plan that these

shears and veinlets strike in various directions, diverging and

converging somewhat in the manner of a stockworks. Sampling results

are somewhat confusing but in general it would appear that the best

values are found at and near the points of convergence of several

converging veinlets. A most unfavourable feature in connection with

these veins from the practical point of view is the difficulty

which obviously would namnifest itself if one attempted to follow

them underground. Sampling would have to be exceedingly close

indeed and even then it seems inevitable that a good deal of waste

development must occur. Local irregularities in dip would further

complicate the problem and how one would avoid a considerable

amount of dilution in stoping is difficult to imagine. Of course

conditions may be more favourable at depth but this seems to me

most unlikely.

At the commencement of our sampling of this property

two years ago our first step was to discover which of the various

veins exposed carried attractive values and whether or not the

At the commencement of our sampling of this property

two years ago our first step was to discover vrhich of the variouss

veins exposed carried attractive values and v/hether.or not the

values were chiefly contained in the quartz stringers. Results ooon

Indicated that the values were almost altogether enclosed in them

TO FOLLOWnarrow widths shown for the early sampling on the plan. Results"""

up to that time were confusing and of course very incomplete. Before

renewing our work this year we decided to select the most promising

area indicated by the earlier work and to sample it systematically

across widths of fifty feet or more in the hope that the quartz veinlet

-s might be found rich enough and numerous enough to carry

fair values across the material intervening and yield promise of

tonnage. Also it was decided to cut no channels less than 4 feet

in length and with very very few exceptions this was adhered to.

The first few weeks work between Departure 3450 and 3750

and Latitude 2850 and 3000 following out the scheme suggested

indicated that there is no hope of success along this line in this

portion of the property at least. We still felt however that further

work was justified and turned our attention to the merits of

individual veins.

We resampled the system of parallel and converging

veinlets in a well defined shear zone lying just to the north of

the blacksmith's shop but results were absolutely dissappointing.

We then turned our attention to other portions of the map area

and finally decided to resample and extend our sampling of what we

now call the grade vein. It also turns out to be a system of

parrallel and converging veinlets. The eastern portion of this for

a distance of 125 feet carries values averaging about S15 over a

with of about five feet. Extension of this westward was

somewhat difficult owing to the amount of stripping and trenching

necessary and the difficulty of tracing the vein at points where it

narrows to tiny tourmaline stringers. However we have now sampled

it pretty well for a distance of 600 feet except for an interval

ftat first very encouraging as far as values go but later sampling did

not stand up as well. For a short distance west of the section first

mentioned values are consistently good and then an interval of 100

feet follows where values are lean. From this point to the draw

values are very poor but on the west side of it they improve greatly

but the quartz stringers idverge rapidly here. Sampling of this latter

section is not complete. This vein lies along the approzimate

centre of the mineralized area striking about east and west midway

between the two andesite dikes.

Another persistent vein, better in appearance than the

high grade vein, lies just to the north of the north andesite dike

and practically parallel to it. It has been sampled at irregular inter

-vals for 600 feet but while a few good assays have been obtained it

does not seem hopeful. We are at the present moment exposing and

sampling another one lying a few feet to the south of the latter

which pans very well but no results are available yet.

Ali of the veins dip at varying degrees to the north

but from a inspection of the diamond drill sections the general

average dip is steep.

It would be as well here to say something about the

diamond drilling. Two short holes were drilled several years ago.

No records of these are available. The other five holes shown on the

plan and sections were drilled later. At about the time this

drilling was completed the late W.J. Webb, for some reason and in

some manner prevented the Comapny form sampling the core or at

least he gave orders to that effect and ostensibly he was obeyed.

** TOFOliOWwas here at that time has stated that Chas. Spearman, the consulting

engineer looked over the core and took away short sections of it.

I have heard this in other quarters also and for all we can tell by

an inspection of the core this may or may not be true. The narrow

sections containing the values may have been taken out and never

reported although it is difficult to believe. Whatever happened

we found the core apparently untouched and in good shape, showing a

high percentage recovery, and sampled it very thoroughly. All features

considered of importance are shown on the sections. The results are n

not encouraging. Unfortunately the strong suggestion that the core

has been highgraded leaves us in doubt.

From a consideration of all data now in our possession

the high grade vein is the only one possessing very devinitely

attractive features. Many other stringers contain attractive values

over 4 to 5 foot widths for a very short lengths but none of these

are at all consistent in value for any lenght as the assay plan

clearly shows. The shafts were unwatered and sampled but neither

show good values nor do they reveal any other information of practical

value. The No. l is 37 feet deep and the No. 2 is 18 feet deep.

Very little work has been done on those portions

of the property which lie outside the assay plan. Overburden is

generally heavy in these portions and outcrops very rare. A few

samples were recently taken on some stringers outcripping near

the west boundary of the property. Results were fair and more will

be taken. Also the entension of the vein lying just north of the

blacksmith shop was located by a deep trench at a distance of

370 feet to the west but this work was too expensive to carry on with.

The vein at this point assayed $12 over a width of 5 feet.

I am unable to offer anything regarding the genesis of the ore,

Gold enrichment in most cases is this country is believed to

to have been the result of emanations from acid dikes etc. and it is

possible that enrichment of the shears on the McCarthy-Webb followed

the intrusion of the andesite porphyrite dikes. It is certain that the

-se *re younger than the quartz veinlets since they cut through

and displace the north and south veins.

According to present plans about ten days work will suffice

to complete all surface work which can be done without going to

great expense and in my opinion we whould then decide whether we

are to abandon the property or do some diamond drilling.

Any suggestions you may feet able to offer will be

most welcome.

Yours truly,

H. O'R. Dyer.

and the* abandoned the property* A f e* years later the A l g wax Suaait Qo&fany vas forced* who sank an incline shaft down the strike of the vein lo a vertical depth of 100 feett they put up a 500 ton flotation cd 11, und proceeded to nine out by a surfaoe glory hole a ee eeotion of the property well to the north of the minoralicod tone, and in a location where no one

had found substantial gold value* *e a donsequenos the mill treated 44,869 tons of rook in 1937 from which WAS recovered 468,130 in gold or 91*52 a ton* In 1998 Attempts were mad* to nine the better oJL no ra li ted •actions, and the mill treated 60,670 tons of ore from which WAS recovered #204,875 in goll or 93*07 a ton* While -thia was eone improvement no profits were .

nade* An examination of the nine naps showed that all thie ore oaae from the first level and the otopes were oarriod to widths of from 15 to SO feet* An examination of the early plans of Consolidated*!) work, both eurfaoe and drilling, and ixleo assay plans of the present operators indicate that the gold content lo confined to relatively narrow widths of from two to ei* feett and that the adjoining wall rooks contain no gold*

About everything wrong that could be done was done at this property* the ehaf t has an incline down tho etrike of the vein at a dip of 55 degrees* und tiee up a leetge part of the best oro ahoot* xh* arrange* nont at the headframe allowe for no waste disposal* Tho mill has a eJpaoity of 500 tons a day, which is far too large* Flotation is used which involves expeneive freight and smelter treatment of the concentrates* The present operators infom ne the ore is ouitable for straight oyanidation*

The nine needs a new vertical shaft sunk to a depth of at least 500 feet to,open up two new levels with sufficient development work on these levels to get ahoaA of the mill*

One hundred and fit ty tons a day is an adequate capacity f of the Dill* Oyanidation equipment would hare to be installed i and a em Her ball mill substituted for the large one now inetdled*

The cost of doing tho above would be between 9150,000 and 9200,000*
