INTRODUCTION
Mr. U. Abolins has staked three mining claim blocks in central Lake Township in southern Ontario. They consist of 1150995, Concession 3 Lot 17 E 1/2, N 1/2, 1150996, Concession 4 Lot 15 W 1/2 and 1150997, Concession 4 Lot 17 W 1/2. At the time of writing the last claim 1150997 is under dispute and no work has been carried out. Claims 1150995 and 1150996 have been mapped on one hundred metre east-west grid systems (Figure 1).
The area of interest lies in central Lake Township just east of Whetstone Lake. It can be accessed, from county road 46N out of Havelock, by gravel road to Peck's camp on Tangamong Lake. From Peck's camp it is an hour by canoe to the northern claim block by crossing Tangamong and Whetstone Lakes. A series of rapids between the two lakes prevents the use of motor boats. The second way in is by four wheel drive vehicle to Whetstone Lake. This route starts from the old Hastings Road about eight kilometres north of Millbridge. A woods road heads west to Whetstone Lake for about fourteen kilometres. The trip from Millbridge is about an hour and forty-five minutes.
The country east of Whetstone Lake is made up of a north-south ridge and gulley topography with many of the gullies occupied by beaver ponds. On the ridges, there is a shallow veneer of soil over bedrock; essentially most of the ridges are sub-outcrop. For mapping, base lines and tie ties were chained and flagged along north south claim lines. Grid lines were east-west at one hundred metre spacing and included the east-west claim lines.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The claim blocks were staked to cover the southerly extension of the mafic volcanic-clastic sedimentary contact which hosts the Tomahawk Mine iron deposit.
To the south, rocks in proximity to this contact have been explored for their copper potential. Claim 1150995 covers a copper showing that was trenched and drilled in the 1950's. The second claim covers similar rocks.

GEOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS
Claim block 1150995 was mapped using one hundred metre spaced lines (Map 1). It lies on both sides of the Crowe River with its central third being covered by the river flood plain. Beyond the valley the land rises to twenty-five to thirty metre north-south striking ledges and valleys parallel to the geological grain of the rocks. In this part of the claim block very little soil cover is present and the ledges are predominantly suboutcrop areas. Actual outcrop is limited by a ten to twenty centimetre thick cover of organic detrius.
The western two thirds of the claim are underlain by quartz arenites. They are usually well bedded and strike about one hundred and sixty degrees parallel to the western margin of the block. West of the river some of the beds show a nodular texture with individual nodules to four centimetres. It was initially thought that these nodules were garnetiferous but they may be simple siliceous concretions. These structures are found also on the island in the river. Here differential weathering indicates more calcareous beds within the sequences. Such beds were also observed northwest of the claim block at the rapids between Tangamong and Whetstone Lakes. Their distribution suggests that there is an increase in carbonate away from the volcanic rocks to the east.
East of the river flood-plain, the rocks consists of interlayered quartz arenites and conformable mafic-ultramafic volcanic rocks. Magnetite is a common mineral in these rocks around the central pond and to the east. Erratic swings of the compass needle are common in this area. Copper mineralization was detected west of the central pond by Ivan Sopha in the 1950's. He trenched the band and drilled at least one hole in the area. To the east mafic volcanic rocks predominate but tuffaceous and quartz arenite sedimentary rocks are present to the east boundary of the claim. In the contact area dark layers in the arenites are present, some of which are chloritic. The adjacent mafic volcanic rocks are fine grained tuffaceous to fine-grained amphipolitic units. Some of the layers are coarser grained and appear to have been gabbroic.
Known mineralization of economic significance is confined to the sedimentary rocks with mafic interbands to the west of the central pond. It consists of magnetite, pyrite and chalcopyrite disseminated in chloritic to biotitic mafic volcanic tuff. In the exploration trench sulphides make up about five percent of the mineralization. Parallel magnetite-bearing zones were not detected during surface mapping but were indicated by deviation of the compass needle in the mafic volcanics in the northeast corner of the claim block.
The second claim block 1150996, Concession 4, Lot 15W 1/2, lies about 1.5 kilometres south of the southeast corner of 1150995 (Figure 1). Its northwest #4 post is situated about 15 metres southwest of an original survey cairn. This claim block was difficult to map because of the number of beaver ponds especially in the north half (Map 2). It is accessed from the Crowe river by a trail which starts from a bay on the east side of river about 2.5 kilometres south of the island in Whetstone Lake.
Geologically the block covers a succession of volcanic and clastic sedimentary rocks. On the west, the quartz arenites form a north-south band up to 150 metres wide. The arenites in these outcrops appear to be more gneissic than the quartz arenites to the north and have a distinct salt and pepper texture. They are interbedded and grade into a band of mafic volcanic rocks in the central part of the block. Most of the mafic rocks are bands of medium to coarse-grained amphibolites with bands of finer grained amphibolites and hornfels. Interbeds of arenaceous sediments appear to be common and the entire sequence seems to be composed of volcanic flows, tuffaceous and associated clastic sedimentary rocks. This sequence appears to be about 400 metres wide on the north boundary and consist of two, one hundred metre thick bands on the south. Also in the central area are outcrops of felsic tuffs. These rocks underlie the eastern part of the claim. They appear as pink to purplish fine-grained rocks that vary from massive to schistose. Depositional layering may be present. The colour variation may approach the grey of the quartz arenite so that sometimes the differences are not obvious, likewise the salt and pepper gneissic arenties may in part be felsic volcanic rocks.

Abundant stratigraphic and structure data are included on the claim geology maps (Map l and 2) . In general the compositional layering represents original deposition and strikes in a north, northwesterly direction. Local variations of this strike are present on both claims and represent folding. It was difficult to determine the fold style from the field observations, in part, because the schistosity is weak and often is sub-parallel to the compositional layering.
Mineralization similar to that known on the northern claim was not observed on this claim but is known to occur along strike further south. The rock types on the western part of the block appears to correlate with the favourable geology on the northern claim thus similar copper-iron mineralization may be expected. Further surveys are recommended to determine the potential of these claims. Soil sampling as expected to be the most useful tool as the soil veneer is thin. Geophysical surveys are required but are best carried out in winter because of the extensive pond network that precludes a uniform coverage in the other seasons.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Geological mapping and prospecting has shown that copper-iron mineralization is present in the area and occurs in volcanic rocks within quartz arenite sequences in proximity to the main mafic volcanics. No mineralization was observed on the southern claim block, however, the geology suggests that a favourable mineralizing environment is present. Further definition is best achieved by soil sampling and geophysical surveys followed by trenching and stripping. It is cautioned that any stripping or trenching will require approval of the surface rights holders.
