SUMMARY

The Moira Lake property consists of four contiguous unpatented mining claims covering about 95 hectares, held by Maradona Resources Inc. The claim group is located in Madoc Township, Ontario, about 180 km northeast of Toronto

and 40 km north of Belleville. Access to the property can be made by road, about 800 m south of Highway #7 and 4 km east of the village of Madoc. The property is about 2 km northeast of the currently producing Canada Talc Industries Ltd. (Cantal) Mine.

Mapping, trenching and a diamond drill hole revealed that the Moira Lake

Property is underlain by the same stratigraphic and intrusive units found at the Cantal Mine site. A magnetic and VLF electromagnetic survey conducted on the property by Hansen (1985) located a conductive horizon about 75 m to 100 m north of the granite contact which was found to be a metapelite unit. The composition

and position of the metapelite unit is similar to that of the metapelite unit found on the footwall side of the talc deposits at the Cantal Mine. Intense microfolding

and moderate shearing found within this metapelite horizon and in units in

immediate contact with it, suggest that the metapelite is faulted parallel to the granite contact. This faulting may have provided a conduit for talc-forming hydrothermal fluids to reach the dolomitic marbles in contact with the

metapelite, north of the granite body.

INTRODUCTION

This report, prepared by Derry, Michener, Booth It Wahl (DMBW) on

behalf of Maradona Resources Inc. (Maradona), summarizes the results of the Phase I exploration program carried out on the Moira Lake Talc prospect, located

near Madoc, Ontario. The program was carried out from April 29 to May 31, 1987 and consisted of linecutting and chaining, geological mapping, trenching, sampling

and diamond drilling. The geological mapping, core logging and field supervision was carried out by J. J. Mayer, B.Sc. and the program was carried out under the supervision of P. A. Hartwick, B.Sc.

The Moira Lake property is located about 2 km northeast of the currently producing Canada Talc Industries Ltd. (Cantal) Mine which, up to the end of 1984,

had produced approximately 890,600 tons of ore, a large proportion of which was of very high grade.

The property is underlain by the same stratigraphic and intrusive succession that exists at the mine and may have been subjected to similar metamorphic processes that were instrumental in the formation of talc.

PROPERTY LOCATION. DESCRIPTION AND ACCESS

The Moira Lake property is located in Concession IX, Lot l, of Madoc Township, Ontario, about 800 m south of Highway 7 and 4 km east of the village of Madox, as shown in Figures l and 2. The property consists of four contiguous unpatented mining claims, E0921259, EO921260, E0921261 and E0921262 covering

approximately 59 hectares.

Access to the property can be made by driving east on Highway 7 from

Madoc for a distance of about 4 km, then south on the all-weather gravel Pinewood Lake Road for a distance of about 800 m. The road is in proximity to the western boundary of the claim group. An abandoned northeast-trending

railway line provides excellent automobile access to the centre of the property.

TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION

The property has a maximum relief of about 25 m. The highest point,

about 185 m above sea level, is on the township line at the south edge of the

property and the lowest point, about 160 m above sea level, is a swampy area near the centre of the property.

Vegetation consists of poplars and cedars interspersed with grass and

scrub-covered fields in the northwest portion of the property, alders and

bullrushes on the low-lying, swampy ground in the centre, and mixed coniferous

and deciduous trees on the higher ground to the south. Areas of very thick poison

ivy growth were encountered in the central portion of the property where sand

and gravel overburden is abundant.

ECONOMICS OF TALC

Talc is predominantly used as a filler and whitener in products such as

pulp and paper, paints and varnishes, plastics, rubber and roofing products. During

the last few years, talc production in Canada has been about 95,000 tonnes per

year; 40,000 tonnes of which are consumed domestically and 55,000 tonnes of

which are exported, mostly to the U.S.A. (Industrial Minerals, January 1986).

Prices for talc range from about U.S.|40 for dark, impure talc, to over U.S.SSOO

for white, fine grind, essentially pure talc. The Henderson orebody at the Cantal

Mine contains very pure, white talc which sells for up to U.S^ISO per tonne

(99.996 minus 44 micron) and is used chiefly by the plastics and pulp and paper

industries. The company is currently expanding its processing facilities to

produce fine grind 10 and 20 micron products which can be sold for significantly

higher prices.

The United States is by far the leading consumer of talc in the world and,

therefore, represents an excellent potential market for Canadian producers. The

J

OMadoc area is well situated to take advantage of a large market in the northeastern U.S.A. and eastern Canada. The discovery of a high grade talc deposit similar to that which exists at the Cantal Mine would be commercially

viable, assuming efficient mining and milling methods are maintained and the products are aggressively marketed.

REGIONAL EXPLORATION HISTORY

Madoc has been a centre of mining in eastern Ontario for well over 100 years (Hewitt, 1968). In 1837 Uriah Seymour built a furnace for smelting iron ore

and opened the Seymour iron mine, which operated from 1837 to 1845. Both hematite and magnetite were extracted from various mines in the region up to 1910.

In 1866, the first gold discovery in Ontario was made at the Richardson Mine near Eldorado. Two gold mines operated in the Eldorado area during the

period from 1894 and 1901. Lead, copper and pyrite were also produced from small mines in the early 1900s.

\The area is best known, however, for the production of industrial minerals

and building products. In addition to talc, which is and has been by far the most valuable commodity, fluorspar, marble, slate, granite, sand and gravel have been produced intermittently since the year 1900.

The first discovery of high grade talc mineralization in the Madoc area was made in the 1880s near the current Cantal mine site by Alexander Henderson while he was ploughing his field (Simandl and Ogden, 1982). Mining of the Henderson orebody began in 1896 and open pit mining was carried out until 1908 at which point underground operations began.

In 1911, the Conley orebody was discovered immediately along strike to the northeast of the Henderson mine and production on that property began in 1912. The two mines were merged into the Canada Talc Company (later to

DERRY. MICHENER. BOOTH ft WAHL

-4-

become Canada Talc Inc.) in 1929. Talc production has been almost continuous

from initial production in 1896 to the present, making the mine the oldest, continuously producing talc mine in North America. Total talc production from the Madoc deposits up to the end of 1984 was approximately 890,600 tons (Hewitt, 1972 and Roberts, 1985).

In addition to the several shafts that have exploited the Cantal deposits over the years, five shallow shafts were sunk to the northeast of the mine area to explore talc-rich zones, as shown in Figure 3.

In 1917 and 1919, International Pulp Company sunk three shafts within 800 m northeast of the Cantal East Zone. The shafts are 8 m to 18 m deep with a total of 75 m of drifting. Rock dumps near the shafts consist of grey to white massive talc and talc schist, talc- tremolite schist, dolomitic marble, and mica schist.

In 1941 and 1942, the Trent Mining Syndicate Ltd. sunk two shafts on the Price mine, located less than 100 m northeast of the East Zone on the Cantal

property. The principal shaft is 27.5 m deep with levels at 12 m and 24 m. Hewitt (1972) reported that the talc occurs in a narrow (0.6 m to 1.5 m) sericite- talc schist zone and strikes at 010 O, dips at 55O west, and is exposed for about 43 m along the 12 m drift. The zone strikes approximately parallel to the dolomite wall rock.

During the summer of 1981, Canada Talc Ltd. carried out a program of

surface mapping and diamond drilling which served to outline a new talc deposit called the East Zone, located about 100 m east of the Henderson deposit (Simandl and Ogden, 1982). Currently, the zone produces an average of about 25,000

tonnes per year to supplement the lower grade talc market (Roberts, pers. comm., 1986).

PROPERTY EXPLORATION HISTORY

The Ontario Geological Survey Assessment Files have records of two

exploration surveys having been carried out on the property. In February 1984, G. Pearse performed a magnetic survey to aid in mapping the assumed favourable

contact between the granitic intrusive and the dolomitic marble. The survey was apparently performed with insufficient diurnal control and consequently the survey has little technical value.

In February 1985, Trisar Resources Ltd. performed linecutting and a magnetic and VLF-EM survey on 100 m spaced lines with 25 m stations (Hansen, 1985). A discussion of the results and interpretation of this survey are given in

the Geophysics section.

Two diamond drill holes totalling 62 m were drilled on claim EO30565 (see Figure 2) located about 300 m to the north of the Moira Lake property. These

holes encountered dominantly white siliceous dolomite.

Records indicate that the Moira Lake property has undergone very little exploration work although the ground was held under lease for much of this

century and therefore work may have been performed but was not recorded. Discussions with mining engineers at Cantal and local individuals, however,

support the notion that the property has undergone only limited work.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The detailed geology of the Madoc area is described by Hewitt (1968) and is shown in Figure 3.

The Madoc area straddles the Paleozoic-Precambrian unconformity. Medium- to high grade metamorphic rocks of the Grenville Province lie to the

north and younger essentially unmetamorphosed sedimentary rocks of Ordovician- J age lie to the south. Flat-lying outliers of Ordovician limestone locally rest upon

the Grenville rocks north of the unconformity. A small outcrop of the Ordovician

sediments was mapped on the Moira Lake property (see Figure 4) and a l to 2 m thick outcrop (not shown on Figure 3) has been exposed at the east end of the East Zone open pit on the Cantal property.

The oldest rocks in the area are the Tudor volcanics, a series of dark green, mafic lavas that exist to the north and northwest of the Moira Lake property. The volcanism apparently ended with rhyolitic flows and tuffs which overlie the mafic volcanic rocks. Overlying the volcanics in a generalized and approximate order of deposition are chemical sedimentary rocks consisting chiefly of dolomitic and calcitic marbles, which host the Cantal talc deposits and underlie

the Moira Lake property; fine to coarse-grained pelitic rocks most of which are now strongly schistose; and minor quartzite and quartzo-feldspathic rocks. Hewitt (1968) noted that in many locations, the sediments are interfingered with the volcanics, indicating a gradual transition from volcanics to sediments.

Intruding the Grenville volcanics and sediments in the Madoc Township area are four main bodies of pink granite and syenite, the Moira Granite being the only one which occurs in the property area. The granite is about 4 km long by 2 km wide and outcrops in the northeast portion of Moira Lake, including the south portion of the Maradona property. The intrusive is a pink albite granite

composed largely of albite and quartz with minor microcline (Hewitt, 1968).

Thin east-west trending undifferentiated diorite and gabbro bodies outcrop immediately to the east and northeast of the property but, in general,

mafic intrusives are not abundant in the Madoc Township area.

REGIONAL TALC MINERALIZATION

Talc deposits in the eastern Ontario region are associated with two host

lithologies; carbonate metasediments and/or mafic intrusive/volcanic rocks. In both cases talc-bearing zones occur adjacent to later felsic intrusive bodies. Talc

in a mafic host usually grinds to a pale grey colour, whereas the carbonate-hosted

DERRY, MICHENER, BOOTH ft WAHL

l-7-

talc, such as that present at the Cantal Mine, is usually very white unless contaminated by mafic minerals.

The Cantal talc deposits occur within a thick sequence of Grenville crystalline dolomites which contain various interbeds of metamorphosed

carbonaceous and pelitic units. The orebodies strike northeast and dip steeply to

the northwest, approximately parallel to regional stratigraphy, and are within 300 m of the Moira Granite contact. Detailed structure of the deposit area is not well understood because of the general lack of outcrop and because the old mine

workings were not mapped. Hewitt (1972) concluded that the talc deposits occur on the south limb of an anticline that plunges to the southwest and that there is strong drag folding and crenulation on both arms of the fold. It would appear that

the bulk of the deformation occurred after the talc mineralization event(s) and that the deformation only served to alter the original shape of the zones.

The richest and best known of the orebodies is the Henderson deposit. It

consists of a steeply dipping, tabular sheet of pure white foliated talc with some local impurities of calcite, dolomite, pyrite and tremolite. The deposit is over

250 m long, 7 to 25 m wide, and at least 250 m deep, but is open at depth. The

footwall consists of dark grey to black phyllite overlain by irregularly banded micaceous dolomite containing coarse prismatic tremolite. The hanging wall consists of regularly banded micaceous and tremolitic dolomite containing some

grey siliceous bands. Next to this banded unit is a discontinuous tourmaline-

bearing layer overlain by quartz-bearing beds displaying stromatolitic texture,

"mottled blue" dolomite, and a thick dolomitic sequence containing local pyrite and amphibolite layers (Samandl and Ogden, 1982).

Based on general research by Hewitt (1972), the Madoc area talc

occurrences are hydrothermal replacement deposits. He postulates that

conformable sheet-like bodies of talc were developed from the Grenville dolomite by the introduction of hydrothermal solutions that probably originated from the neighbouring Moira Granite. Hartwick and Woolham (1986) summarized the

probable talc forming reactions and possible pressure-temperature-fluid

) composition constraints. The reader is referred to that report for a more complete discussion.

CURRENT PROGRAM

The Phase I exploration program was carried out essentially as proposed by DMBW in Hartwick and Woolham (1986) although some minor changes were made as work progressed because outcrop exposure was better than expected in key areas of the property.

The surface work was controlled by three grids, separated by inaccessible swampy areas (Figure 4). A north base line was run from the northwest corner of the claims to the east to cover the north half of the property; a south base line was run from the middle claim post along the southern boundary to cover the southern portion of the property; and a southeastern base line was established to cover the southeastern part of the property. All base lines trend east-west at 070O and follow the claim line boundaries. For the north and south base lines, section lines were spaced 25 m and for the southeastern base line section lines were spaced every 50 m. All section lines were run perpendicular to the base lines at 160 O. The close 25 m spacing of section lines on the northern and southern grids allowed for detailed mapping and sampling where outcrop exposures were good and a detailed examination was deemed necessary. The large 50 m spacing of section lines on the southeastern portion of the property was sufficient due to the very poor outcrop exposure in the area.

Small and large scale trenching and stripping was performed using a D-6 bulldozer and a high pressure Wajax water pump. One large 500 m long trench (Trench 325E) (Figure 5; Appendix III, Plate 1) was cleared with the bulldozer and pump to expose a wide cross sectional area within the marble and several smaller areas were stripped using the Wajax pump where overburden cover was thin. Eighty-six grab samples were taken from the property, 22 of which were taken from Trench 325E. Of the surface samples taken, 31 were selected for thin section analysis.

Following the mapping, sampling and trenching, a 233.2 m (765 ft.) BQ-sized diamond drill hole, MDR-87-1, was drilled from near the centre of the

J claims towards the south to intersect the rock units which underlie the large

lll0llllllllllllllll

swamp in the centre of the property (Figure 5 and 6). Sixteen samples were taken from the drill core, 9 of which were selected for thin section analysis.

A total of forty rock samples taken during the program were selected for thin section analysis. The purpose of the study was to detect microscopic minerals not readily identifiable in hand sample and to comment on mineral textures and phase relationships present, thereby intimate the general temperature-pressure regime which prevailed during the hydrothermal event(s).

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

Stratigraphy

The geology of the Moira Lake Property consists of a thick sequence of marbles and pelitic metasediments intruded in the south by a large granitic batholith, as shown in Figure 4. Bedding and contacts of all units strike roughly east-northeast and dip moderately to steeply towards the north.

Along the western boundary of the property and gradually thinning towards the east, exists a very thick sequence of calcitic and dolomitic marbles with minor interbedded pelitic material. Although the marbles tend to be massive (see Appendix II, Plate 2) and bedding cannot be recognized due to metamorphic recrystallization, where pelitic material is interbedded the orientation of the bedding is fairly consistent, trending between 060O and 080 O and dipping towards the north between 64O and 85O. In general, the amount of pelitic material interbedded within the marble increases towards the southern granite contact suggesting that there was a gradual progression from a carbonate to a detrital sediment-type environment.

Although the pelitic interbeds within the marbles can be very thick, as revealed in Trench 325E (Figure 5; Appendix II, Plate 3), along strike a single unit is very difficult to trace due to the interfingering nature of the "clean" marbles

) w ith the pelitic material, as illustrated in Plate 4 (Appendix H).

OAlong the western boundary of the property the marbles are intruded by

numerous l cm to 30 cm wide discontinuous quartz veins, stringers and blobs. The presence of this quartz activity is encouraging as silica is a necessary component in the formation of talc and tremolite. Two occurrences of tremolite were found within the dolomitic marbles; one at N.L. 0+OOE 3+1 OS; and the other at N.L. 5+OOE, 2+OOS. Although tremolite is a detriment in talc ore, it is usually present in the wall rock of talc deposits because it is an essential constituent in the talc- forming reactions. The presence of tremolite on the property is therefore encouraging.

The number of pelitic interbeds and the ratio of pelitic sediment to carbonate sediment within a pelitic bed (i.e. clastic to carbonate ratio) increases towards the south contact with the Moira Lake Granite. Along the old railway bed, near the western boundary of the claims, numerous thin pelitic beds exist within the marbles which have been classified as true pelitic metasediments. This classification has been made based on the formation of large bladed kyanite crystals and the development of fine-grained muscovite flakes along bedding planes. Both these materials are metamorphic products of an aluminum and silica rich host.

\The southern limit of the true marbles is believed to be located near the

north shore of the large swamp. This is confirmed in diamond drill hole MDR-87- 01. This hole, drilled from N.L. 5+OOE, 2+158 towards the granite contact, intersected 47.87 m of "clean" dolomitic marble before entering a very thick sequence of pelitic metasediments. Some thin interbeds of dolomitic and calcitic marble are present within the pelitic sediments, as revealed along the southern shore of the swamp between S.L. 4+75W and S.L. 5+25W; however, these units tend to be very thin and discontinuous along strike.

The thick marble sequence gradually thins to the east and continues underneath the swamp off the Moira Lake claim group. This is confirmed in regional mapping by Hewitt (1968) as he found similar units farther to the east.

The northeast portion of the property is underlain by a well bedded sequence of lime-silicate rocks striking roughly 060O to 080O and dipping towards the northwest between 650 and 80O (see Appendix II, Plate 5). Although these metasediments are carbonate dominated, they are not classified as true marbles or pelitic marbles because they have distinctly different characteristics. Generally, these sediments are more fine-grained with only patchy recrystallization to marble. The tan to pinkish-brown colour throughout this sequence is caused by a fine-grained arkosic constituent that is incorporated with the carbonate material.

The lime-silicate rocks interfinger with thin discontinuous beds and bands (less than l m wide) of detrital sediment in a similar fashion to that observed in the marbles towards the east and south. In this case, however, the sediment bands are of an arkosic rather than pelitic composition.

Locally, the lime-silicate rocks are intruded by small l cm to 5 cm wide discontinuous quartz veins and stringers. This quartz activity would ordinarily be encouraging for the formation of talc, but since none of the lime-silicate materialwas found to be dolomitic, no tremolite or talc formation was expected or found.

\The true pelitic metasediments occur wedged between the southern limit

of the marbles and the contact with the Moira Lake Granite as illustrated in Figure 4. These sediments range from thinly bedded carbonaceous pelites near the marble contact to more pure pelites in contact with the Moira Lake granite. Generally, the pelitic units are strongly bedded striking between 060O and 100O and dip steeply towards the north between 72O and 80O.

The northern contact of the pelitic unit is composed of a strongly bedded calcitic and dolomitic metapelite. This transitional unit represents a change from a carbonate to a detrital depositional environment. The contact between the true marbles and the pelitic units was found to be abrupt and was noted in outcrop at N.L. 0+25E, 4+30S and in drill core from hole MDR-87-1.

) Towards the granite contact, the detrital component of the pelitic unit increases with only rare, interbedded thin carbonate material noted. It is in this

DERRY. MICHENER, BOOTH ft WAHL

l lllllllll)llllIllri

-12-

area that the argillite, phyllite and biotite-rich paragneiss are found. In general, the metamorphic grade and shear intensity, within the pelite, gradually increases towards the granite contact, reflected in the transition from argillite to phyllite up to the paragneiss at the contact. The argillite and phyllite are found to be continuous across the southern edge of this east-west trending swamp as illustrated on Map 87-57-01 (in map pocket). The biotite-rich paragneiss is not as extensive and is only found to exist between S.L. 3+75W and S.L. 5+25W, just south of the swamp.

The south-central portion of the property is underlain by a thick unit of very fine-grained, massive pelitic metasediment {see Figure 4) that was originally mapped as granite by Hewitt (1968) in Figure 3. In this unit faint bedding can only be recognized on the weathered surface and no chloritic or carbonate alteration was noted. Near the granite contact, the unit is cut by less than l m wide discontinuous aplite dykes and veins.

The Moira Lake granite, which intrudes the sedimentary sequence, underlies the southern shore of the large east-west trending swamp. As mentioned above, detailed mapping revealed that the granite is not as continuous across the southern portion of the property as Hewitt (1968) believed it to be. The south-central portion, that was originally mapped as granite, is actually an embayment of massive pelitic sediment within the granitic unit. The granite does exist as a continuous body, but only to the south of the property.

The granite is generally massive in outcrop, is cut by thin aplite dykes less than 2 m wide and has a thin gneissic outer mantle as illustrated on Map 87-57-01 (in map pocket). The outer gneissic mantle represents a zone of increased metamorphic alteration and tectonic movement parallel to the granite contact. This outer mantle is classified as an orthogneiss as it is derived primarily from the granite itself and contains only rare and thin discontinuous bands of biotite-rich material, believed to be recrystallized pelitic xenoliths.

The contact between the gneissic granite and the pelitic sediments is sharp, as revealed in drill hole MDR-87-1. Surprisingly, there was no evidence of

Dcontact metamorphism within the metasediment in direct contact with the granite. There is, however, evidence of lower grade metamorphism of greenschist facies reflected in weak chloritic alteration and fine-grained muscovite development near the contact, within the pelitic metasediment.

Late Precambrian ultramafic sills or dykes intrude the complete stratigraphic sequence north of the granite. These units tend to be less than 3 m wide and range in composition from fine to medium-grained diorite to coarse- grained gabbro. Although there is minor contact metamorphism associated with these units, they do not play an important role in the formation of talc.

The Precambrian rock units are overlain unconformably by an Ordovician basal conglomerate. These outliers have been noted in three areas of the property; the eastern margin of the north half of the mapped claims; between S.L. 1+OOE and 1+25E roughly 60 m north; and as a thick wedge underlying the swamp as revealed by drill hole MDR-87-1. Although some outliers of this material were anticipated, the thick wedge underlying the swamp was not. Drill hole MDR-87- 01 intersected the basal conglomerate from 109.59 m to 164.63 m at a vertical depth from 80 m to 115 m (Figure 6).

\The position and vertical extent of this material and the shearing and

intense microfolding noted in the Precambrian rocks near the shores of large east- west trending swamp suggests that some large scale tectonic feature, such as an extensive fault system, may exist underneath the swamp, possibly paralleling the contact of the granite.

Structural Geology

Although all the units on the Moira Lake property have undergone intense folding and some shearing during the Grenville Orogeny, not all units give evidence of this regional tectonic event. The massive marbles generally do not show any evidence of folding or shearing as these units may be completely

_) recrystallized. However, the interbedded pelitic material within the marbles and

ythe true metapelite units often appear intensely folded and show evidence of weak to moderate shearing.

The large northeast trending swamp is believed to be underlain by an extensive fault system. This is postulated due to the evidence found in outcrop on both the northern and southern shores of the swamp and from drill core.

On the northern shore intensely folded pelitic beds exist within the marble sequence. Due to the readiness of carbonates to recrystallize, the intense deformation is only reflected in the pelitic interbeds, but it is clear that the entire sequence has undergone a high degree of deformation. The folding is tight to isoclinal with fold axis trending roughly 070O and plunging steeply towards the southwest between 75 0 and 800. The limbs of the folds are overturned and dip steeply towards the north-northwest between 80 O and 85O. The orientation of this folding is similar to that found by Hewitt (1972) at the Cantal Mine site. This similarity is encouraging in that the folding at both the mine site and the property may be related to the same deformational event.

Weak to moderate shearing is found along the southern shore of the swamp within the metapelites and along the outer mantle of the granite, as evidenced in outcrop and in drill core. Generally, the shear intensity increases towards the granite contact, although moderate shearing is also found along the southern shore of the swamp in the south-central portion of the property, where the massive pelitic unit exists, as illustrated in Map 87-57-01 (in map pocket). This shows that the shearing along the southern shore of the swamp is not caused by the intrusion of the granite, but rather related to the large scale faulting that is thought to exist underneath the swamp.

Further evidence to this faulting is given by the thick wedge of Ordovician sediments that was intersected in drill hole MDR-87-1 from 109.59 m to 164.63 m at a vertical depth from 80 m to 115 m, as shown on Section 5+OOE (Figure 6). Since this Ordovician material lies unconformably on top of the Grenville rocks, a large fault block or fault zone must exist under the swamp to allow such exaggerated basement relief.

TfflN SECTION ANALYSIS

A total of 40 rock samples in three separate groups were selected from outcrops, trenches and diamond drill core. The samples in Groups I and li were taken along two roughly parallel lines along the western margin and the central portion of the property, respectively, to locate any existing reactionary trends within the dolomites. Group II also includes 9 samples of drill core from Hole MDR-87-1 {DC Series). The samples in Group III were taken from various outcrops across the property as an aid in rock identification. The samples in each group are listed as follows:

DISCUSSION

Thin section analyses revealed that most of the samples selected in Groups I and II are composed of medium- to coarse-grained dolomite with uniform mosaic texture. Many of these sections show signs of recrystallization with a general decrease in size and rounding of individual grains. Similarly, rounded quartz grains were also noted in many of the recrystallized sections but reactions betweeen the individual quartz and dolomite grains were not noted.

Talc and related tremolite were found in several sections from the Group I samples, as listed below:

Although no reaction trend was noted along the sampled line of Group I, the presence of the talc and tremolite is encouraging. The Group II samples were devoid of talc or tremolite; however, minor talc was identified in two of the Group III samples.

Since talc and tremolite crystals were noted in only a few of the Group I sections, future work should focus on the western margin of the property. As abundant quartz veining and some tremolite formation was also noted during the surface mapping, this area is of particular interest.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Surface mapping, trenching and diamond drilling revealed that the Moira Lake property is underlain by the same northeast trending, intensely folded sequence of dolomite and metapelites as found at the Cantal mine, 2 km to the

west. A detailed thin section analysis of a number of samples selected from the property found that talc and tremolite have formed at some locations, although reaction trends along samples lines were not noted.

Although the Phase I exploration program did not locate significant talc mineralization within the dolomitic sequence, a large portion of the property, underlying the northeasterly trending swamp remains uninvestigated. In addition, west of drill hole MDR-87-1 quartz veining within the dolomitic sequence becomes more intense and large tremolite crystals have been found; the presence of both these minerals is encouraging as they typically occur in the wallrock of talc deposits. It is therefore possible that talc formation may have occurred, in association with the quartz and tremolite, in rocks under the northeast trending swamp or at depth. A Phase II followup drilling program is recommended that focuses on the area west of the present drill hole under the large swamp to test the former possibility.

PROPOSED PROGRAM AND BUDGET

A two-part Phase II followup diamond drilling program is recommended for the Moira Lake Talc property. Each of the two parts of Phase II will consist of 1,500 ft. of diamond drilling for a total footage of 3,000 ft.

The first part of Phase II will consist of three shallow holes underneath the swamp. The location, orientation and length of the proposed holes is as follows:

4bp - Pelitic Calcitic Marble

Light to medium grey, fine- to medium-grained crystalline calcitic marble with thinly bedded and disseminated very fine-grained pelitic material. Where the pelitic material occurs as very thin interbeds, intense microfolding can be recognized in outcrop (see Plate 7). In these intensely folded areas, the pelitic material has largely been recrystallized to very fine-grained biotite. Where bedding is not apparent, disseminated pelitic material is recognized by the grey colour in hand specimen. As in the pure calcitic marble described earlier, this unit may contain calcite stringers, patchy coarse-grained calcite crystal development and very thin rhodochrosite stringers.

4c - Lime Silicate Rock

Tan, pink to light grey, moderately to strongly bedded, very fine-grained to fine-grained calcareous sediment (see Plate 5). The various colour changes within the unit are due to the clastic material incorporated in the rock. Generally, the "silicate" portion of the rock is fine-grained arkose material giving the rock a tan to pink colour. The grey areas are the result of minor disseminated pelitic material. Locally, the unit contains l cm to 5 cm stretched quartz stringers and/or clasts; fine-grained muscovite flakes developed along bedding planes; and arkose sediment dominated interbeds. Very strong reaction to acid throughout.

TfflN SECTION ANALYSIS AND SUMMARY

SUMMARY

The series of rocks and drill core examined in thin section consists essentially of banded carbonate, almost entirely of dolomite composition. There are two exceptions, the one being JJM 07 which is pegmatitic in origin and mainly quartz having a cataclastic texture together with feldspar grains, a mixture of plagioclase and microcline accompanied by coarse muscovite flakes. The pegmatite suggests an intrusive introduced along the general foliation of the rock. This pegmatite has been brecciated and has cataclastic texture developed as the result of intense tectonic effect. This may follow a fault zone but doesn't follow any distinct faulting.

The dolomite is the predominant rock and shows considerable variation. Mostly it is medium to coarse grained having a reasonably uniform mosaic texture. This texture is modified in a number of ways suggesting the effects of shear zones or zones of stress. This modification results in the development of sugary texture in which the dolomite becomes much finer in grain and the mosaic pattern is changed to rounded grains in zones, producing a pattern-like string of beads, and the grain size is variable along the strings. Frequently the dolomite in these zones is accompanied by fine grained quartz.

The series of rocks is remarkably devoid of talc or even of serpentine or of asbestos. Antigorite is conspicuous by its absence in these rocks.

GROUP I

Section JJM 28

The rock is a very fine grained mosaic of dolomite. With the exception of one crosscutting veinlet composed of dolomite, the rock is featureless. The relationship between the veinlet and the matrix is not evident. Three grains of muscovite are present (approx. 2 microns in size), however no reaction with the dolomite is evident. These grains sit as isolated grains in the matrix.

Section JJM 29

This rock is similar to JJM 28 (very fine grained mosaic of dolomite). This rock is also essentially featureless except for a tendency of the dolomite grains to be ovoid and for the grains to align themselves accordingly. The few grains of quartz and muscovite are stable.

Section JJM 24

This is a fine to medium grained carbonate with three grains of quartz and one of muscovite. No reaction is evident between quartz and dolomite. The muscovite sits in the dolomite matrix with no reaction and no apparent relationship to the dolomite.

Section JJM 25

Medium to fine grained carbonate - probably dolomite with about six grains of quartz in other minerals. (There are two sections with this number; both are similar and both show some mechanical breakup.)

Section JJM 27

The rock is mainly medium grained carbonate - probably dolomite. Slightly coarser grain size than in sections 28, 29 and 24. The grain is in a mosaic with somewhat preferred orientation. There are small patches of clusters of about ten each of the quartz grains not accompanied by any magnesium silicate grains. The total percentage of quartz is less than one percent.

Section JJM 43

This rock is a medium to coarse grained carbonate. Approximately twenty grains of quartz are present with each of them showing corrosion outlines resulting from reaction with the dolomite. Only three grains of talc are in the section. These grains were randomly positioned adjacent to grains of quartz and showed no sign of any genetic relationship to either the quartz or dolomite. The talc appears as stable blades with a thickness of 0.5 microns.

Section JJM 45

Fine grained granular carbonate as in JJM 28 with a tendency to the development of mosaic texture. Some rounded quartz grains - in the entire section thirteen quartz grains. No magnesium silicates - no minerals other than dolomite or quartz.

Section JJM 53

In this section tremolite occurs as bladed crystals enclosed in coarse grained carbonate. The tremolite is iron free and shows no signs of reaction rims or alteration (Plate 4). Frequently the tremolite is accompanied by a pale brown phlogopite. It occurs either randomly distributed as masses of flaky material or frequently in fractures within the tremolite.

DERRY, MICHENER. BOOTH ft WAHL

III-3

Minor amounts of diopside appear as subhedral inclusions in carbonate not obviously related or associated with quartz of any of the tremolite or other magnesium silicates. The diopside does not occur in the tremolite.

Section JJM 51

Medium grained granular carbonate with no sign of mosaic texture. Dolomite with about ten grains of quartz. No other minerals visible; no signs of magnesium silicates present.

Section JJM 46

This is a medium grained carbonate with considerable brecciation of the dolomite. Quartz is present in minor amounts and displays a sugary texture (Plate 1). No reaction between the quartz and the dolomite is evident.

A few grains of talc occur alongside some of the quartz grains and associated with one quartz veinlet. The talc appears stable, however no genetic relationship with either the quartz or dolomite is evident. The association of talc with these minerals is a spatial one, with talc displaying the characteristics of random positioning. One single grain of diopside occurs in the section. It appears stable and only spatially related to the quartz and dolomite.

Section JJM 35

Medium grained carbonate - dolomite with mild brecciation; about two patches of fine grained quartz grains. Patches contain ten to fifteen quartz grains.

Section JJM 38

Medium to fine grained mosaic of dolomite with some zones of brecciation. About one to two percent medium quartz in the zones of brecciation - no magnesium silicates.

Section JJM 50

This rock is composed of a mosaic of medium grained dolomite with minor brecciation. Quartz occurs as either fine grained stringers or within patches of medium grained rounded grains within the dolomite. The one blade of iron free tremolite in the section is enclosed within the dolomite as a stable grain (Plate 3). No apparent relationship is evident between it and the dolomite and quartz. The few grains of muscovite appear as isolated grains in dolomite and display no apparent relationship to either the dolomite or quartz.

Section JJM 36

Fine to medium grained carbonate - dolomite with a band of coarse dolomite. A few - less than two - very small grains of quartz. A few scattered grains of phlogopite. No other magnesium silicate.

Section JJM 49

Very fine grained dolomite carrying patches of fine grained sugary quartz. A few stringers of fine grained quartz occur throughout the slide. Adjacent to one of the stringers are two euhedral crystals of needle-like tremolite (Plate 2). The tremolite is stable and appears to be an inclusion within the dolomite. It also shows a rim of needle-like tremolite between itself and the quartz.

The six grains of talc in the section display the characteristic random distribution within the dolomite. The grains are stable and give the appearance of no genetic relationship to the surrounding dolomite.

GROUP n

Section JJM 14

Coarse carbonate mosaic - dolomite with occasional quartz grain and a few (plus or minus t en) xf lakes of muscovite. No magnesium silicates.

Section TS 23

Banded carbonate - dolomite, alternating bands of coarse mosaic and fine grained granular carbonate - a few - about six or eight grains of quartz and twenty or so flakes of muscovite.

Section TS 02

Coarse carbonate mosaic - dolomite partially replaced by medium grained sugary quartz but showing no reaction. No sign of magnesium silicates.

Section TS 24

In a small patch of sugary medium grained quartz there is a strangely isolated mass of five flaky antigorite grains associated with the quartz. There is probably a genetic relationship between the quartz and the antigorite as it seems to have a faint coloured rim against the quartz. There may be a genetic relationship to the surrounding dolomite but this relationship is not definite. The antigorite carries no talc.

Medium grained mosaic of dolomite grains randomly oriented with a few coarser grains of dolomite which are turbid and contain very fine grained dark material having the appearance of carbon. There are occasional muscovite flakes. No talc visible.

Section DC 05

This rock has the appearance of being the same as DC 04 but subjected to crush brecciation. Its consists of zones of very fine sugary grains arranged in zones sometimes of very fine grain. The zonal arrangement applies also to the turbid material which is drawn into a schlieren. Very few sugary grains of quartz.

Section DC 07

Medium to fine grained mosaic of dolomite cut by a series of parallel zones of very fine grained dolomite. These have the appearance of crush breccia bands which are parallel to subparallel and seem to be mylonitic. Some of these carry the black opaque material as in DC 04. There are occasional euhedral muscovite grains and scattered rounded fine quartz grains. No talc.

Section DC 08

Medium to fine dolomite consisting of fine granular dolomite and interstitial very fine grained mylonitized dolomite suggesting the tectonic appearance as in DC 07 carried to the extreme. Both DC 07 and DC 08 may be parts of a fault zone. No talc or quartz.

Section DC 13

Material in this is almost identical to that in Section DC 07 and these three sections may be part of the same fault zone.

Section DC 15

Very well banded quartzitic schistose rock. It consists of fine grained sugary quartz which alternate with bands of tremolite and greenish (olive) biotite. The latter contains bands of high magnesium chlorite obviously breakdown of biotite. Magnetite is common in the biotite bands. The biotite is strongly oriented parallel to the bands but there are coarse muscovite flakes with random orientation.

The quartz zones are like the dolomite of sections DC 08 etc., in that it consists of medium grained bands alternating with very fine sugary bands. There are random grains of dolomite in this section. The rock is a quartz rich biotite- chlorite schist.

Section DC 16

The best description of this is that it consists of alternating bands that are similar to DC 15 and alternatively like DC 08. Similar texture quartz rich but devoid of biotite and alternating with dolomite rich bands.

Section JJM 02

Within a patch of antigorite carrying random rounded quartz grains there are approximately 30 flakes of talc. The talc is clear and apparently uncoloured and ranges in size from 2 to 50 microns in length. These flakes do not appear to constitute a significant mass. Both the antigorite and the talc are associated with quartz, however there is no obvious genetic relationship.

Section JJM 03

Massive carbonate mainly coarse mosaic with stringers of granular dolomite and evenly distributed granular quartz, the quartz amounting to about ten to fifteen percent as a fairly regular peppering of fine grains in elongated zones. This is accompanied by oriented muscovite flakes so that the rock has a shistose texture of muscovite parallel to the quartz stringers and the dolomite. The muscovite is in patches of flakes throughout the granular dolomite and

\ related to the structure produced by the quartz zone.

DERRY. MICHENER, BOOTH ft WAHL

lllllllll1)lllllllll

m -s

Section JJM 09

The rock consists of very coarse grained dolomite with stringers of quartz and muscovite throughout. These stringers appear to be very fine grained breccia zones in the dolomite and may be related to stressed dolomite within a shear zone or fault. The muscovite occurs somewhat parallel to the breccia zone and is not related to the quartz. The quartz in the zone is egg-shaped and commonly 0.5 microns in size. Quartz also occurs as a filling of tiny reaction holes or voids within the dolomite, however no reaction with the dolomite is evident.

Following the breccia zone are flakes of talc within the dolomite ranging in size from 0.5 to 1.0 micron. These flakes are stable and appear to be randomly dropped within the dolomite. The genetic relationship of the talc to the dolomite is not readily evident. The massive dolomite along this crush zone follows a sigmoid pattern.

Section JJM 07

Pegmatitic material mainly quartz and feldspar. The quartz massive together with some medium to fine grained sugary quartz probably cataclastic in origin. The coarse quartz is definitely cataclastic with cataclastic texture. This quartz contains two phase fluid inclusions with large gas bubbles suggesting pegmatite origin. The material suggests chilled origin and is mainly microcline and sodic plagioclase. There are a few large flakes of muscovite. The section contains no carbonate or talc.

Section JM 06

Massive mosaic of dolomite with ten to twenty percent very fine sugary quartz as in JM 09. The quartz is in bands and intergranular stringers and the individual grains are rounded. The stringers are arranged parallel to a regional parallelism. There are no feldspars with the quartz but there are broad bands and lenses of sugary quartz. There are numerous flakes of muscovite randomly oriented.
