SUVMARY

The J-dex Raney Township property lies on the west margins

of the Swayze gold belt. The property is underlain by a

metavolcanic sequence including andesitic to basaltic flows,

felsic porphyritic and pyroclastic rocks, thin cherty interflow

metasediments and massive coarse-grained gabbroic flows or

intrusions. Among these the andesitic flows are predominant.

A number of old trenches occur on the property that appear

to be following major shear zones. The mineralization consists

of trace amounts of visible gold, disseminated pyrite, galena,

pyrrhotite with very minor occurrences of sphalerite and

chalcopyrite. The gold mineralization seems to be related to

roughly east-west trending fault and shear zones with associated

quartz-carbonate veins. Both along and near the fault zones

there has been extensive carbonatization. At present, a wirikie

drilling program on the J-dex gold property in Raney Township has

uncovered similar gold mineralization at depth within quartz

carbonatized veins filling dilatent zones along major faults,

similar to significant gold deposits within the Swayze Gold Belt.

A line cutting and geological mapping survey was conducted

in June, 1984 and from August lith to August 17th, 1984

respectively on the J-dex Raney property in the Swayze Gold Belt.

The property consists of 18 contiguous unpatented mining claims

located in the southwestern corner of Raney Township. the

property lies approximately 50 kilometres southwest of Foleyet

and lies within an important gold belt.

Personnel employed on the program included lan Coster,

B.Se., Geology and Nadia Caira, B.Sc., Geology who carried out

the mapping program on a cut grid of approximately 32.4

kilometres. Ihe grid was cut in June, 1984 by employees of J-dex

Mining and Exploration, 81 Balsam Street South, Timmins, Ontario.

The claim group covers approximately 800 acres of mining land.

The claim numbers are as follows: 551785, 551787 to 551791

all inclusive; 796605 and 796606; 537277 to 537283 all inclusiveSS\?4b

and nXTP.rrr.; 501022; and 796604. A good portion of claims 537280,

537278, 501022, and 796604 are covered by lakes.

Geological mapping was done on a cut grid having an easterly

trending baseline zero in the center of the claim group on the

northern part of claims 551790, 551791, 796606, 796605 and

537282, with north-south trending lines 100 metres apart. The

lines were picketed every 25 metres. A tieline, TL700S was cut

east across the southern part of claims 551785, 557787 to 551789

inclusive, approximately 700 metres south of the baseline. A

second short tieline, TL 1000N was cut east across the northern

part of claim 537277. Two more short tielines, TL200N and TL150S

were cut east across claims 537281 and 537279 and claim 796605

and part of claim 804657 to enable access around a small lake

near the baseline. These tielines are 200 metres north and 150

metres south of the baseline zero.

It is the purpose of this report to discuss the findings of

the geological survey and the lithogeochemical results.

Recommendations for further work to locate gold drilling targets

are included following discussion of this material.

LOGVTICN AND ACCESS

The J-dex Mining and Exploration, Raney Township property is

located in the south central part of Raney Township in the Swayze

Gold Belt, Porcupine Mining Division, approximately 49.6

kilometres southwest of the town of Foleyet, Ontario (see Figure

1). The property ties onto the northeast corner of Raney Lake

and extends eastward for approximately 2500 metres.

There is no direct road access into Raney Township. The

property is accessible via float plane leased at Ivanhoe Lake

with Theriault Air Services, which is 100 kilometres southwest of

Tinmins, or at Chapleau with Fellows Air Services which is

approximately 190 kilometres southwest of Timnins.

Timber roads extend south from Foleyet to within 10

kilometres of the claim group (see Figure 2).

TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION

The topography in the map area consists of low, flat lying

swampy areas interspersed with rolling more rugged areas with

good rock exposures. Scattered outcrop occurs over approximately

l (H of the property.

The Raney township property is flanked by Raney Lake to the

southwest, Duck Lake to the north and by Long Lake to the south.

A series of small lakes trend northeast through the northern part

of the property.

Vegetation consists of mainly spruce, balsam, birch and

poplar, with cedar and alder in more swampy areas.

PREVIOUS W3RK

The Swayze gold belt has been intermittently explored over a

time span of about 80 years. Most of the interest has centered

on gold but base metals have been searched for as well.

Current exploration activity has been directed to the search

of gold mineralization. Some of the more prominent gold

exploration activity has been by; Orofina east of Raney township;

Quinterra Resources in Tooms and Greenlaw townships southwest of

Raney township; and by Carlson Mines in Rollo township. This

activity has discovered significant gold values within chert and

quartz-carbonate zones within basalts. These occurrences coupled

with many known gold occurrences in the Swayze Gold Belt implies

- 4 -

a good environment to search for gold deposits.

The following sunmnary of the previous work in the area has

been abstracted from assessment work files and reports from

others who have worked in the area. Figure No. 2 shows the

location of the J-dex Raney township claim group relative to

neighbouring townships along the Swayze gold belt.

A review of the assessment work files in the Timmins

Resident Geologist's office reveals that sporadic exploration has

been carried out on the J-dex property in the northeast corner of

Raney Lake. It is as follows:

1983 218' of winkie drilling in one hole. Visible gold withdisseminated galena, pyrite, tourmaline within an east-west trending fault zone with associated quartz-carbonate veins.

1982 Magnetic and VLF surveys by J-dex Mining and Explora tion Ltd. and Ingamar Resources.

Sporadic exploration has been carried out on properties in

the immediate vicinity located east and southeast of the J-dex

Raney Township claim group. This work is briefly summarized as

follows:

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

Raney Township is situated in the western end of the Abitibi

greenstone belt and is underlain by Early Precambrian (Archean)

supracrustal rocks of volcanic and sedimentary origin. The

supracrustal rocks have been intruded by Archean felsic and mafic

intrusives. The plutonic rocks occupy the southwestern corner

and the northwestern portion of the township.

The youngest rocks are lamprophyre dikes, that may possibly

occupy pre-existing faults. The dikes are believed to be Late

Jurassic to Early Cretaceous in age. The next youngest rocks are

believed to be the felsic intrusives. These rocks have been

interpreted by Thurston, Siragusa and Sage to be Early

Precambrian in age, and include massive to weakly foliated

biotite and hornblende trondhjemite, granodiorite and minor

quartz diorite. These rocks were not encountered on the J-dex

Raney property. The next youngest rocks are the felsic to

intermediate metavolcanics including felsic porphyritic and

pyroclastic rocks with thin cherty interflow metasediments.

These rocks occurred throughout a large portion of the J-dex

Raney property.

The oldest rocks in Raney Township are mafic to intermediate

metavolcanics including basaltic to andesitic flows, pillow

lavas, and gabbroic coarse-grained flows or intrusions. Among

these the andesitic flows are predominant. The J-dex Raney

property is thought, by the authors, to lie within the Swayze -

Deloro metavolcanic - metasedimentary belt, which is part of the

Abitibi Subprovince.

The rocks of the Swayze - Deloro metavolcanic -

metasedimentary belt generally have foliations and schistocities

parallel or at low angles to the bedding and banding. Well

foliated rocks occurred sporadically throughout the J-dex Raney

property. The foliation was not discernable in the more massive

varieties of the mafic metavolcanics.

Secondary lineations are relatively common in the

metavolcanic - metasedimentary belts in the map area including

elongated pyroclastic fragments, small scale crenulations and

elongated clasts in detrital rocks. Several of these secondary

lineations were seen on the J-dex Raney property.

A lack of outcrop throughout most of the Swayze Deloro map

area makes the positive defining of faults a difficult process.

Strike-slip faults exist throughout the map area together with

east-trending shear zones. More major north-northwest to

northwest striking faults are conspicuous throughout the

metavolcanic - metasedimetary belt. Throughout the Swayze -

Deloro belt, the faulting is indicated by abrupt discontinuities

- 8 -

in the felsic metavolcanic units, similar to that on the J-dex

Raney property.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The J-dex Raney property is underlain by metavolcanic and

metasedimentary rocks of the Swayze - Deloro belt. The

metavolcanic sequence includes andesitic to basaltic flows,

pillowed flows, felsic to intermediate porphyritic and

pyroclastic rocks, thin locally banded cherty interflow

metasediments and gabbroic flows or intrusions. Anong these the

andesitic flows are predominant.

In the north part of the property a mafic andesitic flow

occurs with interflow felsic pyroclastic rocks that average

approximately five to ten metres in thickness. Numerous zones of

felsic to intermediate pyroclastic rocks are indiscriminantly

scattered throughout the sequence and may indicate that

intermittent felsic explosive activity continued during the

accumulation of the predominantly mafic metavolcanic sequence.

In the central part of the property a thicker sequence of felsic

to intermediate pyroclastic rocks occurs including porphyritic

and pyroclastic rocks with interflow cherty metasediments. This

sequence is approximately 650 metres in thickness. Finally, in

the southern portion of the property, a mafic sequence occurs

including pillowed andesites, fine-grained andesitic flows with

intermittent gabbroic coarse-grained flows or intrusions.

According to Thurston, Siragusa and Sage, numerous pillows seen

south of Raney Township have tops facing north. This sequence

attains a maximum thickness of 800 metres.

The following is a table of the formations encountered on

the J-dex Raney property.

Unit 2 Felsic to Intermediate Metavolcanics

These rocks occur as thin (5-10 metre) interbeds within

the mafic to intermediate metavolcanics and as a fairly

thick, approximately 650 metre, zone covering a third

of the J-dex Raney property. They include rhyolitic to

dacitic pyroclastic rocks. Of these the rhyolitic

2 Ibid Page 6

- 10 -

rocks are predominant. The fragments and crystals are

generally more felsic in composition than the matrix.

The phases seen vary from fine ash tuff, to crystal

tuff to lapilli tuff and were seen well bedded in one

locality. Fragments are generally small, less than 2

on, indicating a fairly mild period of explosive

activity.

Unit 2a Crystal Tuff

This unit is seen predominantly throughout the

west central portion of the J-dex Raney property,

forming a wedge shaped package which pinches out on

Line 4E. The rock is whitish to buff coloured on

weathered surfaces and grey to blue green on fresh

surfaces and seems to have undergone a weak to intense

carbonatization process throughout the property. The

crystal tuff is dacitic in composition, with an

aphanitic groundmass. On the J-dex Raney property this

pyroclastic unit is bordered to the north and south by

a mafic andesitic flow unit. The andesitic flow unit

to the north is again bordered to the north by the same

felsic unit (Unit 2a) and appears to be intercalated

within this felsic unit. Unit 2a contains up to 3(^

crystals of plagioclase with the occassional (5%)

glassy quartz eye. The crystals vary from Imn to 3mm

- 11 -

in size and average 2mm. The quartz eyes are angular

to subrounded and appear shattered. This unit also

occurs as thin interbeds within te mafic metavolcanics

on line 13E at 300S and on line 5E at 310S, attaining

thicknesses of up to 10 metres. These intermittent

felsic units within the mafics may be interpreted as

the result of cyclic volcanism. Up to 51 pyrite

fragments up to lcm occurred locally.

In the west portion of the property, around lines

5W and 6W at 340N and 275N respectively, a thin bed of

cherty metasediment occurs within the felsic crystal

tuff.

Unit 2a (f) Quartz - Sericite - Carbonate Schist

This unit is seen as a thin unit in several

localities on the property on line 13E at 300S and on

line 5E at 310S. It is composed of a highly schistose,

somewhat sheared rock comprised of quartz, sericite and

carbonate within the matrix. It is thought, by the

authors, that the more massive felsic crystal tuff

(Unit 2a) has been metamorphosed and sheared to this

schist (Unit 2a (f)). The schistosity seems to

parallel the regional trend of the rock units, ranging

from OSO0 to 1350 .

- 12 -

Unit 2b Lapilli Tuff

This unit was seen at several localities on the

property including: the northeastern portion of the

property on the south shore of Duck Lake at Line 100

east at 700 north; in the west central part of the

property on lines 500 and 700 west on the baseline; on

line 800 west at 500 north on the lake; on lines 700

and 600 west at 700 south; on line 600 west at 750

north. The rock is seen interbedded with the Crystal

tuff (Unit 2a) and the fine ash tuff (Unit 2c). The

rock weathers a whitish to buff colour and is a pale

grey-green on fresh surfaces and has undergone a weak

to intense carbonatization process throughout the

property. In most cases the lapilli consist of white

to grey rhyolite comprising from 401 to 701 of the

rock. Most of the fragments are subangular, although a

few show subrounded edges. The fragments are usually

stretched parallel to the regional foliation at 2:1

long to short axis and range from 1/4" to l" in size.

Occassional (11) grey black quartz eyes occur.

Alteration minerals within the lapilli tuff include

varying amounts of chlorite, sericite, carbonate and

occassional epidote.

- 13 -

Unit 2c Waterlain Crystal Tuff, Ash Tuff and Lapilli Tuff

This unit was seen on line 100 east at 700 north

on the south shore of Duck Lake. It is well bedded at

1000 Az with bedding best seen on weathered surface.

The rock weathers a white to buff colour, is dacitic to

rhyolitic in composition, is dark grey-green on fresh

surfaces and has an aphanitic groundmass. The

thickness of the beds varies from 4nm to 100cm and

consists of alternating beds of crystal tuff, ash tuff

and lapilli tuff. Shattered plagioclase crystals

comprising up to 301 of the rock, occurs throughout all

of the above mentioned units and range in size from linn

to 3mm. The crystal tuff contains the occassional

lapilli and seems to be the most conmon unit. Where

lapilli occur, they are stretched at 3:1 long to short

axis and locally comprise up to 501 of the rock.

Alteration minerals within this unit includes a weak

carbonatization with trace sericite and chlorite

parallel to bedding-foliation.

Unit 2d Porphyritic Flow or Quartz-Feldspar Porphyry

This unit was seen on lines 700W and line 600W at

175 north. It is uncertain as to whether it is a

quartz-feldspar porphyry sill (subvolcanic in origin)

- 14 -

or whether it is a porphyritic quartz feldspar flow.

The unit strikes eastward and appears to be faulted off

at approximately 550 west by a north-south trending

fault. This unit attains a maximum thickness of

approximately 75 metres. The rock is aphanitic, grey

to grey-green, rhyolitic to dacitic in composition,

with up to 101 angular to rounded 3-4mn clear glassy

quartz "eyes", and 151 white plagioclase crystals from

2rrm to 4mm in size.

On line 700W and 600W at 175 north the quartz

feldspar porphyry is intensely carbonatized and sheared

and hosts quartz-carbonate veins that host gold

mineralization. At this locality, the rock has been

sheared to a sericite - quartz - carbonate schist with

a strong schistocity parallel to the regional trend of

the rocks. Networks of various sizes of quartz veins

occur throughout this rock and usually follow major

foliations. The veins are the di latent type (pinch and

swell) veins and are therefore difficult to trace. On

the J-dex Raney property these quartz-carbonate veins

carry significant gold mineralization together with

pyrite, pyrrhotite, and galena.

- 15 -

Unit 2e Cherty Argillaceous Metasediment

This unit was seen in two localitites on the property

on line 600W at 275 north and on line 500W at 340

north. The metasediment unit is offset 75 metres by a

north-south trending fault (left lateral movement).

This unit occurs as a thin, 15 metre, bed intercalated

with Unit 2a, felsic pyroclastics. The weathered

surface is white and displays grey to white bands of

cherty material. Ihis bed accumulated during a brief

lapse in felsic volcanism within the area.

Unit l Mafic to Intermediate Metavolcanios

Mafic to intermediate metavolcanics predominate

throughout the J-dex Raney property. These rocks

include thick fine-grained flows, thin coarse-grained

gabbroic flows, pillowed flows and thin andesitic

interflow units occurring within the felsic to

intermediate pyroclastic rocks. Approximate thickness

on the J-dex Raney property of the mafic metavolcanics

package is 900 metres. Compositionally the rocks range

from andesitic to basaltic to gabbroic.

The massive to foliated fine-grained rocks that

are andesitic to basaltic in composition seem to be the

most cannon.

- 16 -

Unit la Basalt to Andesite Flows

These rocks vary from light green-grey to a dark

green depending on distances from faults and/or felsic

volcanic contacts. The rocks often contain varying

proportions of chlorite, sericite, epidote and

carbonate.

These rocks may occur as thin beds (less than 100

metres) intercalated with the felsic to intermediate

pyroclastics. More corrmonly thin (less than 15 metre)

beds of sheared felsic pyroclastics (Unit 2a) occur

intercalated with the mafic metavolcanics.

Unit la (f) Chlorite - Carbonate Schist

These rocks were seen in several localities on the

property. They are thought to be foliated and/or

sheared andesitic to basaltic flows (Unit la). The

rocks are dark green and contain varying amounts of

chlorite, altered plagioclase, sericite, epidote and

carbonate. The trend of the foliation tends to

parallel the bedding attitudes. Intense

carbonatization and trace amounts of pyrite and

pyrrhotite were seen, often associated with major shear

zones on line 3 west at 200 south and on line 5 east at

300 south.

- 17 -

Unit Ib Basalt to Andesite Pillow Lava

This unit was seen on TL 130 south at 075 metres

west. The rock weathers a dark brown green colour and

is medium to dark green on fresh surfaces. The rock is

thought to be andesitic to basaltic in composition,

weathers rusty, and contains chloritic pillow margins.

Stringers of white cherty quartz also occupy some

pillow interstices and fractures. The pillows are

deformed so that they are no value as stratigraphic top

indicators although, good pillows were seen south of

Raney Township indicating tops as north. Pillows range

from 20cm x 10cm to 90 cm x 30 cm and are stretched 3:1

long to short axis. The occassional gas cavity was

seen and was filled with quartz. Alteration minerals

included chlorite, carbonate and epidote.

Unit le Gabbro (coarse-grained flows or intrusions)

These rocks are interbedded with the andesitic to

basaltic rocks in the southeastern corner of the

property. The rock is composed of plagioclase,

amphiboles, pyroxenes, with minor biotite, quartz,

magnetite, epidote, chlorite and carbonate. Outcrops

are massive, and weather speckled due to pyroxene

phenocrysts. The rocks are thought, by the authors, to

- 18 -

be coarse-grained flows, (possibly iron tholeiites)

intimately associated with the finer-grained andesitic

to basaltic flows.

STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

Throughout the Swayze gold belt, the major structural

feature is the east trending syncline which generally parallels

the strike of the metavolcanic - metasedimentary sequence.

Faulting and shearing accompanied the folding with later

shears localized along zones of sericite-chlorite and carbonate

alteration.

Several north trending faults and east trending shears were

located on the J-dex Raney property by:

1. air photo and topographic lineaments.

2. strucutural offset and discontinuity in layered rocks in particular, sudden changes in foliation- bedding attitudes.

3. the presence of shearing within felsic interbeds.

4. the presence of zones of hydrothermal alteration e.g. carbonatization, silicification, sericitiza tion, hematization.

5. the presence of slickensided joint planes.

The most prominent north trending fault occurs between line

6W and line 4W and offsets a thin cherty metasediment bed at 300

north on lines 5W and 6W by approximately 75 metres. The other

north and east trending faults on the property were located by

- 19 -

airphoto and topographic lineaments and by hydrothermal

alteration including carbonatization, silicification and

sericitization.

East-southeast shearing was located in several localities on

the property and generally followed lithologic contacts. The

most cannon trend is 1100,. The presence of shearing is indicated

by slickensided joint planes, a strong schistocity and

hydrothermal alteration including sericitization and

carbonatization. Shearing was located at:

1. Line 700W at 175N2. Line 500W at SOON3. Line 500E at 300S4. Line 1300E at 300S

Foliations throughout the property are parallel or

subparallel to the bedding attitudes. Foliation-bedding ranges

from OSO0 to 135 9 and dips between 70" and 900 to the north. The

foliation is defined by orientation of platy minerals such as

biotite, sericite, chlorite and carbonate and by the flattening

of pyroclastic fragments.

ALTERATION AND MINERALIZATICN - ECONOMIC GEOLOGY

The gold mineralization on the J-dex Raney property seems to

be related to roughly east-southeast (110P ) trending shear zones

within hydrothermally altered feldspar porphyries (Unit 2d) and

altered dacitic tuffs (Unit 2a), that contain associated

- 20 -

quartz-carbonate veins. Along or near the shear zones there has

been extensive carbonatization with local potassic metasomatism

which takes the form of sericitization, a buff, yellow-white

sericite is cannon.

Gold was seen in Area l around line 5W at SOON and in Area 2

around line 7W at 150N. The gold occurs as free gold in quartz -

carbonate veins, the main veins are steeply dipping to the north

with associated veinlets and stringers also carrying significant

gold values. The veins also contained disseminated galena,

pyrite with minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Trace amounts of

pyrrhotite were also seen, as well as scattered seams of fine

black tourmaline (?) or biotite.

The major veins in Area l and Area 2 seem to parallel the

major foliation which strikes east-southeast and dips steeply to

the north. the veins are filling di latent "pinch and swell"

zones and may range from 3cm to 90cm along strike. The veins are

difficult to trace and in several locations, appear to pinch out

completely. Several areas of interest occur on the J-dex Raney

property, and are as follows:

Area l (see Figure 7 for detailed map)

Previous trenching in this area at around Line 5W

at 300 north has exposed an auriferous quartz vein that

assayed up to an ounce/ton gold. The quartz-carbonate

vein has been extensively trenched along 110" Az for a

length of 75 metres parallel to the strike.

- 21 -

The white quartz-carbonate vein is hosted within a

dacitic crystal tuff (Unit 2a) and lapilli tuff (Unit

2b). Alteration envelopes around the vein range f ran

2cm to 10cm in width varying with the size of the vein.

The alteration away from the vein includes an intense

sericitization of the dacitic tuff, forming a strongly

foliated sericite schist, then an intensely

carbonatized, silicified zone with brown carbonate

stringers, and finally a moderately to weakly

carbonatized dacitic tuff. The rocks within this area

exhibit minor slickensided joint planes.

Mineralization within the vein includes free gold,

galena, pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Trace

amounts of free gold were seen within the dacitic tuff

near the vein contact.

The vein is a "pinch and swell" type, with

associated cherty chalcedonic quartz stringers, and

varies in width from 3cm to 90cm over the strike

length. Due to the veins' sinuoidal nature, it changes

strike from 120* to 102P throughout the trench. At 15E

along DD Line SOON (see Figure 7) the vein branches off

trending 0729 . Tne vein at this point is 5cm wide and

was lost in the overburden approximately l metre from

where the main vein branches.

At this time, three winkie drill holes have been

- 22 -

drilled to various depths in Area l in hope of

encountering more auriferous quartz carbonate veins or

important hydrothermally altered rock containing

significant gold values. The holes are as follows:

1. DDH at 22E on DD Line SOON, Az: uncertain, Dip: -60P , depth: 218'2. DDH at 15E (A) on ED Line 300N, Az: 210*, Dip: -45*, depth :236'3. DDH at 15E (B) on DD Line SOON, Az: 210* Dip: -679,, depth: incomplete

The first hole encountered various zones of

quartz-carbonate veins and stringers. These assayed

from .005 oz/ton over 5 feet to .025 oz/ton over 5 feet

to 0.11 oz/ton over l foot. Various other quartz -

sericite - carbonate alteration zones assayed 0.065

oz/ton over 2 feet. Brecciated dacitic tuff sections,

that are highly carbonatized and contain from 2-5%

disseminated pyrite assayed 0.015 oz/ton over 3 feet.

Visible gold was seen in two areas within

quartz-carbonate veins, at 150 feet and at 161'5".

Visible gold was also seen on surface in the Area l

trench within quartz-carbonate veins and within the

carbonatized dacitic tuff.

The second winkie drill hole DDH 15E (A)

encountered similar mineralization and alteration with

several areas of visible free gold within the quartz

carbonate veins. This hole has not been assayed yet.

At 38' a l foot wide quartz-carbonate vein was noted,

- 23 -

containing several blebs of visible gold with

associated pyrite. At 104' to 143' an intense

alteration occurs including intense sericitization,

silicification and carbonatization. Disseminated

pyrite and pyrite fragments up to l cm in width occur

up to 51 throughout this zone.

The third hole in Area l is still in progress.

Area 2 (see Figure 8 for detailed map)

Previous trenching in this area has exposed an

auriferous quartz vein around line 7W at 150 north.

This quartz-carbonate vein has been extensively

trenched along a variable strike trend for a length of

35 metres. Smaller trenches across the strike of the

vein also were done in hopes of finding other stringers

off of the main vein. In most cases, overburden was

encountered. The white quartz-carbonate veins are

hosted within a sheared, hydrothemally altered

feldspar porphyry (Unit 2d) that reportedly assayed

0.17 oz/ton Au when sampled by Falconbridge over 7 feet

(D.O. Baker, personal communication). Alteration

envelopes around the vein range from 3cm to 15cm,

varying with the size of the vein. The vein is

following a shear zone within the feldspar porphyry

composed of a sericitic, intensely carbonatized,

silicified zone with varying amounts of

- 24 -

quartz-carbonate stringers. The rocks within this area

have minor slickensided joint planes. The main

direction of shearing is between 60 0 to 90" changing

with the bedding-foliations. Mineralization within the

vein included free gold, galena, and pyrite.

Similar to Area l, these quar t z-carbonate veins

are filling di latent zones forming a "pinch and swell"

nature. Due to the veins' sinuoidal nature, the strike

to the vein varies from 050* to 067* and dips between

65P north to 85 0 south and varies in width from 2cm to

13cm. Fine -Clmm black chlorite or tourmaline seams

occur within the quar t z-carbonate veins. Previous grab

samples from within the vein assayed up to an ounce

gold per ton. Three more rock grab samples of the

quartz-carbonate vein were taken during the geological

survey. The results are not available at this time.

Area 3 (See Figure 6 for location)

In the southeast corner of the property on line 5E

at 300 south, a 50-10 metre wide shear zone occurs

along the contact between sheared Unit 2a(f) Quartz -

Sericite - Carbonate Schist and sheared Unit la(f)

Chlorite - Carbonate Schist. The northeast trending

shear is following the schistosity at 1350,y70p north.

The zone is composed of a yellow-white, strongly

schistose quartz - sericite schist that is intensely

- 25 -

carbonatized. It is interbedded with a sheared

chlorite - carbonate schist with intense brown

carbonate parallel to schistosity. Trace amounts of

pyrrhotite occurs within this rock. Two rock grab

samples were taken within this zone and are being

geochemically analyzed for gold (ppb). The results are

not available at this time. If significant gold values

occur within this shear zone, te area should be

trenched along the strike of the zone to gain a

significant strike length to the zone.

Area 4 (see Figure 5 for location)

In the western portion of the claim group around

Lines 8W, 9W and 10W at 200 to 300N a prominent,

roughly east-northeast trending shear zone occurs for a

traceable strike length of up to 300 metres within a

felsic tuff (Unit 2a). The schistocity and trend of

the zone averages at 07O0 and is dipping vertically.

The shear zone has hydrothennally altered the

rocks to a quartz - sericite - carbonate schist that

has a strongly developed fissility. Trace amounts of

fine pyrite occurs in this area. Just north of the

shear zone on Line 8W at 300 north a 6" wide rusty

quartz-carbonate vein occurs within a fairly massive

felsic tuff (Unit 2a). A total of four samples were

taken within this zone, one of which included this

- 26 -

vein. If the sanples return significant gold values,

the area should be trenched along strike of the vein

and he shear zone. Sanple results are not available at

this time.

OCNCLUSICNS

1. Raney Township lies in the western part of the Swayze Vol

canic gold belt.

2. On the J-dex Raney property the distribution of the felsic

pyroclastics, mafic metavolcanics, cherty metasediments

and quartz-feldspar porphyries is varied with the felsic

pyroclastics occurring intermittently within the mafic

metavolcanic rocks.

3. The finer grained size of the lapilli and the crystals

within the felsic to intermediate pyroclastics is indica

tive of distal "volcanic centres".

4. The felsic volcanism is in part subaerial and in part

subaqueous shallow water deposited due to the presence

of waterlain felsic tuffs on Duck Lake in the north part

of the property.

5. The magnetic coarse grained gabbros (Unit le) may, ini

fact, be high iron tholeiitic basalts that are intimately

- 29 -

interbedded with the finer grained andesite to basalts

(Unit la).

6. The presence of very few pillowed mafics within the entire

mafic package suggests shallow water deposition volcanics.

7. The existence of felsic pyroclastic beds intermittent

with. the mafics suggests several rapid, explosive

episodes of felsic volcanism upon earlier deposition of

mafic metavolcanics.

8. All rocks on the property have been weakly to intensely

carbonatized.

9. Carbonatization processes and gold mineralization seems to

be related to roughly east trending fault and shear zones

with associated quartz-carbonate veins.

10. The quartz-feldspar porphyry (Unit 2d) in the west part of

the property may fill a shear zone and contains significant

gold mineralization.

11. The auriferous quartz-carbonate veins occur in a variety of

host rocks including a quartz-feldspar porphyry, the dacitic

tuff, lapilli tuff and fine tuff.

12. The disseminated gold was concentrated within quartz-carbon

ate veins filling dilatent (pinch and swell) zones.

13. A pervasive hydrothermal alteration occurrs down in the

southern boundary of the property and was outlined by an

east trending VLF anomaly. The altered andesitic metavol

canics were a much lighter pale green colour compared to

- 30 -

the dark green fresh metavolcanics. An east trending air

photo lineation occurs in this area and may be indicative

of a major fault. A significant VLF anomaly also occurs

along the southern boundary of the claims along known Input

magnetic anomalies along Long Lake.

RBOOVMEMDATICNS

Mineralization within the J-dex Raney property appears to be

controlled by shearing and related quartz-carbonate veining with

associated sericite, silica and carbonate alteration in dacitic

to felsic tuffs and felsic quartz-feldspar porphyries.

1. The occurrence of disseminated pyrite, galena, pyrrhotite,

sphalerite and chalcopyrite with trace amounts of gold

indicates that these mineralized zones could be traced by an

induced polarization survey.

A detailed I.P. survey is recommended along the present

grid system. This I.P. survey would outline, more

precisely, zones of mineralization on the property

associated with the faults and shears.

2. Bulldozer power stripping to bedrock along with detailed map

ping and sampling of the newly exposed outcrops is

recommended along anomalies outlined by the proposed I.P.

survey and along the predicted fault and shear zones located

in the field.

Notice of Intent

for Technical Reports 1984 11 13

2.7320/437/84

An examination of your survey report indicates that the requirements of The Ontario Mining Act have not been fully met to warrant maximum assessment work credits. This notice is merely a warning that you will not be allowed the number of assessment work days credits that you expected and also that in approximately 15 days from the above date, the mining recorder will be authorized to change the entries on his record sheets to agree with the enclosed statement. Please note that until such time as the recorder actually changes the entry on the record sheet, the status of the claim remains unchanged.

If you are of the opinion that these changes by the mining recorder will jeopardize your claims, you may during the next fifteen days apply to the Mining and Lands Commissioner for an extension of time. Abstracts should be sent with your application.

If the reduced rate of credits does not jeopardize the status of the claims then you need not seek relief from the Mining and Lands Commissioner and this Notice of Intent may be disregarded.

If your survey was submitted and assessed under the "Special Provision-Performance and Coverage" method and you are of the opinion that a re-appraisal under the "Man-days" method would result in the approval of a greater number of days credit per claim, you may, within the said fifteen day period, submit assessment work breakdowns listing the employees names, addresses and the dates and hours they worked. The new work breakdowns should be submitted direct to the Land Management Branch, Toronto. The report will be re-assessed and a new statement of credits based on actual days worked will be issued.
