PROSPECTING TRAVERSENAGAGAMI RIVER

PORCUPINE MINING DIVISIONONTARIO

NTS: 42F/1O and 42F/15

INTRODUCTION:

This report summarizes the results of a reconnaissance prospecting traverse of a section of highly metamorphosed Archean rocks along the Nagagami River in northwestern Ontario. The study was part of the author's 1992 O.P.A.P. grant, and was carried out between August 17 and 20, 1992.

The 45-kilometer interval of the Nagagami River which was examined lies south of Highway 11, and west of Highway 631. The Nagagami River crosses Highway 11 about E1 km west of Hearst; the town of Hornpayne, located on the Canadian National Railways line, is situated about 73 km south of the junction of Highway 11 and Highway 631. Locations are given on Figure 1.

The objective of the program was to test for the possibility of greenstone assemblages and sulphide mineralization similar to that at the "McGale Prospect" on the Nagagami River north of Highway 11.

LOGISTICS:

The Nagagami River flows generally northward from Nagagami Lake,northwest of Hornpayne, to its confluence with the Kenogami River which in turn flows into the Albany River. South of Highway 11, there are three possible access points along the river: at Nagagami Lake and Melody Lake which are accessible by float aircraft, and; Couchiching Rapids which is accessible by vehicle via a new road from the Hornpayne area. According to personnel at Forde Lake Air Services, who operate a fishing camp on Nagagami Lake, and who occasionally run canoe excursions into the upper part of the river, the terrane above Melody Lake is very low-lying, and the river current sluggish. Since it was apparent that there was little likelihood of good bedrock exposure there, it was decided to fly into Melody Lake (from Forde Lake] which is the northernmost access point south of Highway 11.

Below Melody Lake, there are six portages varying in length from 50 m to 1,700 m, representing a total of 4,950 m. The portage trails are narrow but not difficult; a lack of maintenance in the last two years, however, has resulted in occasional deadfall and windfall zones across the trails.

Most sections of the Nagagami River are meandering, deep (about 3 m) and slow-flowing, but there are occasional intervals (see below) with shallow riffles and pocketwater with increased current where passage is somewhat hazardous. It is suspected that, in a normal summer, water levels would be sufficiently low for spotting channels and lining a canoe by wading; in the unusually high-water conditions (at least 0.6 m above normal) of 1992, however, the riffle water was very difficult to wade, and submerged (normally exposed) boulders presented hidden hazards. Nonetheless, the river is quite passable if sufficient care is taken. No attempt should be made to shoot or line any sections of the river

PHYSIOGRAPHY AND QUATERNARY SEDIMENTS:

The terrane of the upper (southern] half of the area traversed - from Melody Lake to Dirty Bush Rapids - is largely very flat, and rises very little (less than 1 m to 2 m] above the Nagagami River. Forest cover is predominantly black spruce, with occasional poplar on higher ground (eskers?]. The banks of the river consist of clay and silt, with minor gravelly layers. Outcrop is scarce. Minor drainages are swampy, and have no noticeacle water flow; the mouths of many of them are blocked by beaver dams. The elevation drop from Melody Lake to the top of White Owl Rapids is in the order of 15-18 m over approximately 20 km; much of this drop is at Trout Rapids and Gull Rock Rapids. The river in this upper section is deep and relatively sluggish, flowing at a steady rate of about 1 km/hour; there are no riffle intervals, the only fast water being at the rapids. Outcrop is also scarce (Figs. 2 and 3].

Below White Owl Rapids, the character of the river is dramatically different. Although there is outcrop at Dirty Bush Rapids (Fig. 3), the rapids flow primarily over a base of boulders. Rough Rock Rapids and Jackpine Rapids ('the Canyon') similarly consist of boulders with intermittent bedrock exposure. Between Dirty Bush Rapids and Rough Rock Rapids, the river alternates between sections of steady current with occasional large boulders, and riffle/pocketwater sections - some up to \ km in length - over a bed of boulders. The banks of the river consist of gravelly silt-sand-clay. Between Dirty Bush Rapids and Rough Rock Rapids, the river drops about 20 m. The total descent of the river through Rough Rock Rapids and Jackpine Rapids is about 20-25 m over 2 km. The final interval traversed, between Jackpine Rapids and Hwy 11, is similar to that above Rough Rock Rapids, although riffles are relatively minor; the river descends about 5-7 m along 8 km in this section.

The observations of riverbank Quaternary sediments in this study corresponds to the distribution of glacial and glaciolacustrine deposits shown by Prest and others, 1968. According to them, the lower part of the river traverses ground morain of the Wisonsin (last] glacial episode. The upper part of the river crosses a narrow belt of glacial lake deposits, although east of the river are outwash and end morain deposits. In addition to typical granitoid material in the till, occasional cobbles of limestone from Paleozoic strata in the Hudson Bay Lowlands were also observed in this study, indicating glacial transport generally from the north. The limit of post-Wisconsin marine overlapis shown by Prest and others (1968) to be about 10-15 km north of Hwy 11, and no evidence of marine sediments were found during the present survey.

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION WORK

There are no mineral claims in the area of the present study, and there is no recorded mineral exploration work in any of the townships from Nagagami Lake to Hwy 11. The author is aware that, in the mid-1970s, Shell Minerals conducted helicopter-mounted, regional reconnaissance investigations, including geochemical surveys and geological mapping, in the region, including

- 4 -

the area around the Three Portages Rapids (McGale) sulphide prospect. The area of present interest may have been at least partially covered, but results are unknown.

A moderate amount of work has been done north of Hwy 11 in Auden and Fintry Townships, north of the area of interest. The "McGale prospect" on the Nagagami River, about 20 km north of Hwy 11, in the northeast corner of Auden Township, consists of a 3.5 to 7.5 m wide sulphide band composed of pyrite and pyrrhotite (about 20?0 with local chalcopyrite. As early as 1965-1366, Colleen Copper carried out geophysical surveys over the zone, and drilled four holes (Toronto Assessment Report #63.1884). In 1971, North D'Arcy Exploration Ltd., following a magnetic survey, drilled G holes totalling 1,511 ft (460.7 m}. The holes intersected greenstone, locally conglomeratic quartzite, and pegmatite. One hole is reported to have cut 47 ft (14.3 m) of massive pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite and bornite. Another hole cut 24.5 ft (7.5 m] containing +50% sulphides (pyrrhotite) (Toronto Assessment Reports #10, 2.299). In 1985, Noranda Exploration covered an area to the east with MaxMin and magnetic surveys, and found six conductors on strike with the McGale prospect (Assessment Report#2.7779); there is no resord of drilling.

A G.S.C. aeromagnetic anomaly to the southwest, in the southwest part of Fintry Township, was followed up by ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys in 1967 by Birch Point Mines. Anomalies were outlined (Assessment Report#63.2228), but there is no record of drilling. In 1974, the anomaly was covered with an airborne electromagnetic survey by Scintrex 5urveys Limited for Cedam Limited. The anomaly was discounted as being due to mafic intrusive rocks (Assessment Report #2.1409).

In 1988, a block of 100 claims owned by McKinnon Prospecting Syndicate in the Three Portages Rapids area was covered by an airborne geophysical survey (Ferderber Geophysics, Assessment Report #2.11207). The block has subsequently been expanded. In 1991, an airborne geophysical survey was flown by Aerodat for the McKinnon Prospecting Syndicate; the survey covered about 80 km of strike length, including the northern parts of Fintry and Auden Townships. The target is reported to be gold mineralization related to possible structures and iron formation (Assessment Report #2.1424). In the winter of 1991-1992, ground surveys were carried out by the syndicate.

GEOLOGY:

The only published geological map of the area of interest is a compilation (in part of unpublished data) by the Ontario Department of Mines (Innes, 1969) at a scale of 1 inch to 2 miles (1:126,720). Outcrop in the area is very sparse, and much of the geology - in particular mafic rocks - has been interpreted on the basis of G.S.C. aeromagnetic evidence. Between Melody Lake and Hwy 11, Innes (1969) shows lithologies at only five locations at rapids or riffles, where outcrops may have been examined by helicopter reconnaissance of the river. The rock types are: undifferentiated metasedimentary and metavolcanic migmatites of Archean age at Trout Rapids, Dirty Bush Rapids, Rough Rock Rapids, and at the Hwy 11 bridge, and; granitic rocks in an east-west riffle section between Dirty Bush Rapids and Rough Rock Rapids. Undifferentiated migmatites predominate in the general region south of Hwy 11. Interpreted northeast trending diabase dykes of Protero zoic age are readily apparent on aeromagnetic maps. Other aeromagnetic anomalies

trend east-west, and it was felt that these subtle anomalies could represent mafic metavolcanic rocks, iron formation or sulphide mineralization in the otherwise monotonous sequence of gneissic strata.

In this river traverse, the primary objective was to identify the presence or absence of such greenstone belt remnants and/or mineralization. Mapping in detail the gneissic rocks and granitoid intrusions was therefore of secondary importance. Nonetheless, because this area had never been syste matically mapped Cto the author's knowledge), most river exposures were examined. Exceptions are the central parts of Rough Rock Rapids and Jackpine Rapids where access is difficult. A few exposures of gneissic rocks could only be generally classified since they occur in riffle sections of the river where stopping was either hazardous or impassible. Observations of the geology are given on the accompanying \ mile to 1 inch (1:31,680) scale claim sheets [Figs 2 to 5).

The Archean layered and intrusive rocks comprise a migmatitic complex over the entire area of this study. Rocks of probably metasedimentary origin are represented by medium-grained, poorly compositionally banded biotite-quartz- feldspar (mostly plagioclase) paragneiss; the only other constituent minerals found are almandine garnet and cordierite at Dirty Bush Rapids. Where mobilizate or injection phases are minor, the rock is classified as a schist (unit pgne ). More commonly, however, veins of pegmatite and/or quartz monzonite and granodiorite are present in significant quantities (up to 40-50%), and the rock is classified as a migmatite (unit pgn ). The veins are usually narrow (10-20 cm), discordant to concordant to the foliation, and anastomosing. Schistosity is undulating, and trends from 090 to 130 ; dips are mostly moderately to steeply north. Coarse-grained, massive amphibolite (unit amph) occurs only at Island Rapids, as a small pod within typical migmatite; it contains traces of disseminated pyrrhotite, and may represent a remnant of a mafic intrusive or volcanic phase.

In a few outcrops, intrusive rocks predominate. They include: white to grey, massive to foliated, medium-grained hornblende-granodiorite (unit gd); pinkish, medium-grained massive to foliated biotite-quartz monzonite (qmz ) and hornblende-quartz monzonite (qmz ), and; biotite-diorite (di). The pink, massive pegmatite locally contains coarse muscovite, and appears to post date all other intrusive phases. The granodiorite and quartz monzonite in large outcrops are essentially identical to those lithologies in the migmatitic zones. The ubiquitous pegmatite is probably a partial melting (mobilizate) phase post dating formation of the migmatite complex.

Massive Proterozoic diabase (db) dykes occur at Trout Rapids, 1.5 km of Island Rapids, Island Rapids, and at the head of Jackpine Rapids. They vary from 20 cm to 5 m in width, and trend at 030 , 055 , and 155 ; all are vertical. The northeast trending dykes appear to follow a late fracture pattern observed in a few localities (e.g. Dirty Bush Rapids), while others fit the regional northwest trend. Interestingly, Innes (1969) interpreted a northwest trending dyke in the vicinity of Rough Rock and Jackpine Rapids, although the magnetic anomaly cannot be due to the 20 cm dyke observed there.

A 5-km long, east-west, positive aeromagnetic anomaly just west of Trout Rapids led Innes (1969) to postulate an east-west diabase dyke. Diabase was found at Trout Rapids, but the dyke trends at 030 , and the anomaly is therefore unexplained. No explanation could be found for a weakly negative east-west anomaly just east of Dirty Bush Rapids, nor a weakly positive anomaly about 3 km south of Dirty Bush Rapids, and 1-2 km west of the Nagagami River. It is intersting,

- B -

however, that there is no ground evidence for east-west diabase dykes; pyrrhotite- bearing mafic rocks (amphibolites) such as those at Island Rapids, are a possible cause.

STREAM SEDIMENT GEDQEMISTRY:

Because of the nature of the tributary streams in the upper part of the Nagagami River traverse (see section "Physiography and Quaternary Sediments"], and since there is no evidence of sediment redistribution by the stream flow, no sampling was done .

In the lower part of the river, particularly below Jackpine Rapids, the minor drainages are often swift due to their descent into the river valley. Transported silt and minor sand and clay is abundant, and the streams often have mini-deltas at their mouths. This accumulation of sediment probably occurs annually, since the spring ice breakup would likely sweep away previous accumu lations.

The results of geochemical analysis of 18 stream sediment samples from the lower part of the traverse are given in Appendix I, and sample locations are shown on the accompanying claim sheets. Gold was analyzed by fire assay - atomic absorption methods, and other metals by ICP analysis in the -80 mesh fraction. Analyses were performed by Chemex Labs Ltd., Mississauga, Ontario.

Little can be said of the stream sediment geochemistry. Results are uniformly low: less than 5 ppb Au, less than 0.5 ppm Ag, 4-9 ppm Co, 1-9 ppm Cu, less than 1 ppm Mo, 6-51 ppm Ni, less than 2-8 ppm Pb, 10-52 ppm Zn, D.70-1.80% Fe, and 145-830 ppm Mn. There are no clearly anomalous values. It is interesting, however, that the highest levels of Zn, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Pb are from the same sample (92-NG-13-S); the distinctly higher than normal Mn content [830 ppm vs. 145-390 ppm in other samples] may indicate metal scavenging by hydromorphous manganese minerals (e.g. wad).

DISCUSSION:

The interval of the Nagagami River between Melody Lake and Highway 11 is underlain by a migmatite complex consisting of metasedimentary paragneiss, injection phases of granodiorite and quartz monzonite, and pegmatite mobilizate. No evidence of metavolcanic rocks, iron formation nor significant sulphide mineralization was found. Extensive glacial and glaciolacustrune deposits, however, blanket bedrock; outcrop along the river is nowhere very abundant, and other unexposed rock types could explain weak aeromagnetic anomalies in the vicinity of the river. Because of the nature of the terrane, outcrop is probably virtually non-existent away from the river's margins, and ground traverses would likely be fruitless.

It was hoped that sediment geochemistry of tributary drainages could define areas of potential mineralization. Unfortunately, the drainages from the southern part of the traverse did not provide adequate sampling sites. Samples from the northern part did not provide results of interest.

The author plans no further prospecting or geological work in the area.

1. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Bear Bay property was examined in 1991 and 1992 by geological,

VLF-EM, magnetic, B horizon soil sampling and rock sampling surveys.

The property is underlain by supracrustal rocks of the Monument Bay

group, part of the Upper Keewatin supergroup. The steeply north-dipping

sequence consists of - from bottom to top - massive mafic (high-Mg tholeiitic

basalt to andesite) flows, an assemblage of very fine-grained clastic metasedi-

mentary and distal aquagene felsic to intermediate tuffaceous rocks, and a unit

of lapilli tuff and tuff breccia of mostly magnesian tholeiitic basalt composition.

The sequence was subjected to regional metamorphism, probably accompanied by

east-west shearing, and intruded by irregular dykes of gabbro, and later by

granodiorite of the Viola Lake Stock.

Extensive sulphide mineralization was reported in a 1976 Hudson Bay

drillhole, located in the approximate centre of the grid. The sulphides,

consisting of weakly disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite with minor pyrite,

and up to V/e chalcopyrite and 1/S sphalerite, occur in two zones totalling 27.6 m.

Neither the drillhole location nor evidence of such extensive mineralization

was found at surface during the present survey. The hole was drilled on a broad

EM-17 conductor.

An east-west VLF-EM conductor traverses the entire 900-m long grid.

Iron oxide stained, locally possibly graphitic shears were found at several

localities along it. Overlying the conductor, soils are locally anomalous in

- 2 -

zinc (up to 785 ppm), copper, cobalt, nickel and iron; the zinc anomaly is

about 500 m long. The zone has no corresponding magnetic response.

A second conductor, at least 200 long and open to the west, lies to

the south. It is marked by a strong magnetic anomaly which continues to the

east. An exposure of pyrrhotite mineralization (about 2m wide], believed to

be shear-hosted, lies on the geophysical anomalies, but neither the rocks nor

soils in the area contain appreciable base or precious metals. Other weak soil

anomalies, however, lie on trend over magnetic highs.

Weak gold mineralization (760 ppb Au) was found in only one locality

where very minor quartz veinlets occur in tuff. There is no response of gold

in soils in the western part of the grid area.

Although no significant mineralization has been found in the 1991 and

1992 surveys, the problem of the extensive sulphides in the Hudson Bay drillhole

remains. It was originally thought that the mineralization was volcanogenic in

origin, but the geological environment - lacking proximal subaqueous tuffs and

breccias, chemical sediments and evidence of extensive magnesian or potassic

alteration - is not favourable for exhalative massive sulphides. The reported

sulphides may, however, be related to a shear which could potentially host gold

mineralization. A number of gold occurrences in the general area are related

to splays of the Pipestone - Cameron deformation zone, about 3 km south of the

Bear Bay property.

The most Favourable location for the Hudson Bay drillhole mineralization

is the southern conductor. It has associated sulphides at surface, has a corres

ponding magnetic anomaly suggesting buried sulphides (pyrrhotite), and is open

to the west. Lines which stopped short of the conductor in the western part

of the grid should be extended to the southern claim boundary, and be covered

with geological, geophysical and soil sampling surveys. Trenching of the known

mineralization and any other favourable areas, with detailed rock and soil

sampling, should be done. A few reconnaissance geophysical lines should also be

run south of the property to test for additional conductors. Because VLF-EM

cannot detect disseminated sulphide mineralization not associated with shears,

- 3 -

some lines in the vicinity of both conductors should be tested with HLEM, such

as MaxMin.

It is also recommended that trenching, with detailed rock and soil

sampling, be done over the main property-wide conductor. Although it is non

magnetic, limonite and reddish soils suggest some sulphides (pyrite?). in parti

cular, the broad zinc and minor copper, cobalt and nickel soil anomalies should

be examined. All further soil and rock samples should be analyzed for gold.

2 - LOCATION AND ACCESS

The property is located approximately 32 km (20 mi) southeast of

Kenora, and 18 km (11 mi) northwest of Sioux Narrows, between Bear Bay and

Adams River Bay of Lake of the Woods, and within the Eastern Peninsula (Figs.

152). Yellow Girl Bay, a main body of Lake of the Woods, lies about 0.6 km

(0.4 mi) to the south. Geographic coordinates of the centre of the property

are: 49O30'54" N lat; 94O 16'23" W long. The property is on the Yellow Girl

Bay claim sheet: G-2656.

Access is most easy by boat from Sioux Narrows or Kenora. Fixed

wing float aircraft are also available in Kenora, and barges travel Lake of

the Woods. Road access is not currently available, but logging haulage roads

have been recently built into the Jadikin Lake area about 6-7 km to the north,

and access waE planned into the vicinity of the Viola Lake stock towards the

property; it is not known, however, if the road has been constructed.

3. THE PROPERTY

The 4-unit property consists of two 2-unit claims. Claim K1161055

was staked on June 9 and 1O, 1991, and recorded on June 11, 1991. Claim K1191242

was staked on August 24, 1992, and recorded on August 25, 1992. Both claims

are held by Robert M. Kuehnbaum, 3101 O'Hagan Drive, Mississauga, Ontario,

L5C 2C4.

4 PREVIOUS WORK

Except for a small excavation on Bear Bay in the northwest corner

(discussed by Kuehnbaum, 1991), the only work known to have been done on the

property was by Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Limited. In 1372,

they carried out an airborne geophysical survey; the results of the survey are

not available in the assessment files, but are mentioned by MacTavish (1975).

In 1975, a ground followup survey was done, encompassing 165 claims (known as

"Group D") in the area. North-south lines were cut at 91.5 m (300 ft) spacings

with readings taken at 30.5 m (1OO ft) intervals. The instrumentation was a

Geonics EM-17 unit operating at a transmitting frequency of 1,SOO Hz; 3OO ft

cable separation was used. Numerous conductors, with strike lengths varying

from 91.5 m (3OO ft) to 4.8 km (3 mi), and with characteristics indicative of

sulphide or graphite mineralization, were located. A few anomalies were explained

by conductive overburden and lake bottom effects (MacTavish, 1975).

In 1976, several holes were drilled by Hudson Bay to test conductors.

One of these, drillhole D-5 (-50 , north-facing), tested a 549 m (1,800 ft)

long conductor which is broad and strong on its west end, and narrow and of

moderate strength on its east end. The approximate location of the drillhole

is shown on Figure 2. The 31.7 m (104 ft) drillhole intersected a 7.47 m (24.5 ft)

zone of sulphide mineralization from 7.47 m (24.5 ft) to 14.9 m (49.0 ft) con

taining S-10% to semi-massive pyrrhotite with minor pyrite and trace chalco

pyrite and sphalerite. From 16.3 m (53.5 ft) to 26.5 m (87.0 ft), continuous

sulphide (mostly pyrrhotite) mineralization was reported, varying from "slight"

to ID-15%, including minor zones (0.3 m or less) with semi-massive pyrrhotite,

and up to '\ a/,, sphalerite and W, chalcopyrite. The host rock was reported to be

andesite with "occasional quartz-carbonate". The log of drillhole D-5 (Lambert,

1976) is given in Appendix VI. The precise location of the drillhole with res

pect to the present grid is unknown, but is likely around line 4E.

Other Hudson Bay drillholes in the area, but not on the current

property, are shown on Figure 2. Drillhole D-3, on an island in Yellow Girl

Bay, intersected two narrow (0.3 m and 0.6 m) graphite-pyrite zones. Southwest

of the property, drillhole D-1 intersected S-10% pyrite and pyrrhotite in a 0.6 m

zone in andesite, and drillhole D-2 cut an 8.5 m (28 ft) zone of banded graphite

and andesite (Lambert, 1976). According to A. Lambert (pers. comm., 1992), the

core from all drillholes in the area was stored on a small island in Yellow

Girl Bay.

In 1991, a small amount of exploration work was done by the author on

the original 2-unit claim (K1161055). This included VLF-EM and magnetic surveys

on four 100-m spaced chain-and-compass lines just east of Bear Bay. Geological

mapping, rock sampling and B horizon soil sampling were also done on the grid.

The work outlined two VLF-EM conductors reflecting the western end on the

Hudson Bay EM-17 conductor. Magnetic anomalies not directly associated with the

conductors were also delineated, but could net be explained. The limited soil

- 8 -

sampling defined possible anomalies in Cu, Zn, Co, Ni and Fe over and around the

conductors, and less directly around the magnetic anomalies. The results of the

survey were thoroughly discussed by Kuehnbaum f 1991), and all of the data are

inccrporated into that collected during the present study.

Government geological studies in the area include mapping by the

Ontario Department of Mines at a scale of 1 mile to 1 inch (Fraser, 1945),

and more recently by the Ontario Geological Survey at a scale cf \ mile to

1 inch (Ayer and others, 1988).

5. OTHER WORK IN THE AREA

Other work in the region surrounding the Bear Bay property has

focussed on gold and base metals potential. Approximately 2.4 km northwest,

in the northwest erd of Bear Bay, there are two sites of old (pre-1900?) shafts

and pits on quartz veins (Ayer and others, 1988); these were staked by W. Why-

mark around 1987, but ne significant work was done. About 7 km to the northwest

of the property, in the P.O.W. Bay area, Cominco Limited in 1968, and Kerr

Addison Mines Limited in 1973 carried out unsuccessful base metals exploration,

including diamond drilling on geophysical targets (see Ayer and others, 1988).

The Pipestone-Cameron deformation zone (PCDZ) traverses Yellow Girl

Bay about 2.8 km south of the property. The PCDZ is a major high strain system

traceable for at least 75 km from the Cameron Lake area to the central part of

Lake of the Woods. A number of gold occurrences related to the PCDZ include

the Cameron Lake deposit, occurrences at Sioux Narrcws (e.g. Regina Bay mine)

and around Flint and Caviar Lakes. The Yellow Girl Bay prospect, about 2.4 km

south of the Bear Bay property, has been drilled, but no work has been done in

recent years. The Chisholm Island prospect, about 8.8 km west of Bear Bay, was

intensively explored by a Noranda-Ncrcnt joint venture in 1989. At least 10

drillholes were put down, but the results of only the discovery hole were

reported: D.65% Cu, 0.42 cz/t Au and 1.42 oz/t Ag across 7.9 ft (the Northern

Miner, May 22,1989).

6. THE PRESENT SURVEY

The 1992 geophysical, geological and geochemical surveys were done

on August 25-28 and 30, 1992. The work was supervised by Robert M. Kuehnbaum

who did the VLF-EM and geological surveys. Donald R. Hawke, #302-1800 Bloor

Street East, Mississauga, Ontario, L4X 2S1, carried out the magnetic survey and

assisted in the soil sampling. A minor amount of prospecting was also done

previously [August 24, 1992] to the east oF the present property boundary; the

data are included in this report.

The flagged chain-and-compass grid started in 1991 was extended a

further BOO m with six 10O-m spaced crosslines tied to the northern east-west

claim boundary. Two fill-in lines were established from the southern claim line

to detail the area of magnetic and VLF-EM anomalies and a sulphide occurrence.

The grid certainly encompasses the location of Hudson Bay drillhole 0-5, but no

evidence was found; 0-5 was a Winkie drillhole, which would have caused minimal

ground disturbance. The 1992 crosslines total 2,690 m, and were flagged at 10-

or 20-m intervals.

VLF-EM and magnetic readings were taken at 20-m intervals in the nor

thern part of the grid, and at 10-m intervals in the south over geophysical

anomalies. Magnetic readings, taken with a Geometrics G816 proton magnetometer,

were corrected for diurnal variation along the baseline, and separately along

each crossline; drift was minimal. VLF-EM readings were taken with a Geonics

EM-1G unit. A total of 20G VLF-EM readings and 207 magnetic readings were taken

in 1992 along 2,G90 m of crossline. Contoured magnetic data are presented on

Plan 2, and VLF-EM profiles and Fraser filtered data are given on Plans 3 and

4, respectively.

Geological mapping included grab and composite grab sampling of expo

sures and in situ material on the grid. A total of 20 rock samples from the

grid area, and 3 samples from east of the property were submitted for various

combinations of trace metal and wholerock analysis to Chemex Labs Ltd.,

Mississauga, Ontario. Rock descriptions are given in Appendix I; analytical

certificates in Appendix II, and; analytical procedures in Appendix V.

- 10 -

Locations of rock samples are shown on Plan 1.

B horizon soil samples were taken on all 8 lines, mostly in areas of

geophysical anomalies; swamps, which were unusually wet in 1992, did not permit

sampling in some key areas around geophysical anomalies in the southern parts

of lines 3+50E to 4+50E. The southern limit of sampling on lines 5E to SE was

determined by a deep swamp. At least 500 gm of material were taken at each

site, at a depth of 20-30 cm, using a pick and trowel. A total of 92 samples

were taken along 960 m of line, and submitted to Chemex Labs Ltd., Mississauga,

Ontario, for multi-element analysis. Results are presented in Appendix III,

and analytical procedures are given in Appendix V. In 1991, 40 soil samples

were taken in the western part of the grid; data from these samples have been

incorporated into the statistical treatment of geochemical results (Appendix IV)

and on accompanying geochemical plots (Plans 5 to 9 ) .

7. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Bear Bay property lies within the Lake of the Woods greenstone

belt (LWGB) in the northwestern part of the Wabigoon subprovince. It consists

of a metamorphosed assemblage of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, intruded by

granitoid rocks, many of batholithic size.

The Ontario Geological Survey, through systematic remapping in the

1980's and synoptic studies, has recently established stratigraphic subdivisions

in the LWGB (Ayer and others, 1991]. The supracrustal rocks are divided into

three supergroups. The Lower Keewatin supergroup (LKS) consists of magnesian

and iron-rich tholeiites, suggestive of sea-floor and island-arc assemblages,

respectively.

The Upper Keewatin supergroup (UKS), unconformably overlying the LKS,

consists of three main assemblages: (1) calc-alkaline volcanic rocks, volcani

clastic and chemical sediments; (2] turbiditic sedimentary rocks, and; (3)

mafic to ultramafic tholeiitic and komatiitic flows. The UKS is interpreted

to represent an island-arc assemblage. From the stratigraphic compilation of

Ayer and others (1991), the Bear Bay property lies within the Monument Bay group,

- 11 -

which consists principally of calc-alkalic to shoshonitic mafic to felsic volcanic

rocks, with subordinate tholeiitic to komatiitic mafic flows, conglomerates,

turbidites and chemical sedimentary rocks.

The overlying Electrum Lake supergoup, consisting of predominantly

clastic sedimentary rocks, lies further to the north from the Bear Bay area.

The LWGB has undergone two major periods of deformation. The first,

a north-south compressive event, resulted in subhorizontal, tight folds with

steeply dipping foliation, and dip-slip movement of narrow thrust faults. The

second event produced east-west trending subvertical folds with a steeply

dipping fabric. Broad deformation zones, such as the Pipestone - Cameron

deformation zone south of the Bear Bay property, developed during this period.

A third event, producing subhorizontal open folds, is of significance only

around post-tectonic intrusions such as the Viola Lake Stock (Ayer and others,

1991].

The area encompassing the Bear Bay property - the Chisholm Island

sheet - was most recently mapped by Ayer and others (1988]. The subsequent

regional synthesis and stratigraphic subdivisions of Ayer and others [1991]

has replaced the stratigraphy of Ayer and others (1988] . South of the Viola

Lake Stock (unit 1O, Fig. 2], two main sequences are present: (1] mafic to

felsic volcanic rocks, including flows and fragmentals, and intercalated wacke

and siltstone (units 2 and 4, Fig. 2], and; (2] tholeiitic to komatiitic basaltic

rocks intercalated with (1] (unit 1, Fig. 2]. Further south, sedimentary rocks

of the Warclub group, also part of the Upper Keewatin supergroup, are exposed

on islands in Yellow Girl Bay (unit 4, Pewabic Island, Fig. 2]; they appear to

be similar to some sediments on the Bear Bay property, but no examination was

made during the present study. Metamorphosed synvolcanic dykes and sills cut

the layered rocks in the region surrounding the Bear Bay property. Mafic bodies

are differentiated from peridotite/pyroxenite to gabbro. Granitoid rocks include

early, weakly to strongly foliated bodies such as the Aulneau Batholith, lying

about 8 km south of the property, and late, massive granodiorite such as the

1. The "upper diverse group" and "upper mafic group" of Ayer and others (1988]

are now included in the Monument Bay group.

- 12 -

Viola Lake Stock. Volcanic and sedimentary rocks are metamorphosed to the

greenschist facies; adjacent to intrusive bodies, such as the Viola Lake

Stock, the metamorphic grade is amphibolite facies. The highly schistose and

carbonatized Pipestone - Cameron deformation zone, about 3 km south of the

property, is up to 1.5 wide, and there are numerous smaller shears splaying

from it (Ayer and others, 1988).

8. PROPERTY GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION

8.1 Description and Geochemistry of Lithologic Units

Geology and rock sample locations are presented on Plan 1. A table

of formations is given on Table 1. No stratigraphic indicators, such as graded

bedding-or pillow tops, were found during the present survey, but Ayer and others

[1988) indicated bedding tops to the north, just east of the property and in the

same units which underlie the property; they also indicated an anticlinal axis

just south of the claims [Fig. 2). In lack of geological evidence to the

contrary, and an apparent lack of geophysical evidence for structural contact

between the units [i.e. shears and conductors transgress rock boundaries, see

sections B.2 and 9), the sequence on the property is assumed to be homoclinal,

upright [steeply inclined) of northward decreasing age.

Descriptions of rock samples analyzed from the various units are

given in Appendix I. For clarity, whole rock and trace metal geochemical analyses

given in Appendix II are presented in tabular form, rearranged according to

rock type, in Appendix VII. Rock classification discussed below is based on

standard Na O * K O vs SiO FeO + TiO - MgO - Al O , Nb/Y vs Zr/TiO plots ^ ^ c "C ^ c J t.

and FM ratios C10OxFeO/FeQ 4- MgO); diagrams are not presented for these

calculations.

Mafic Metavolcanic Rocks [mmv)

Mafic metavolcanic flow rocks [mmv) are exposed in the southern part of

the property and in small areas within the intermediate tuff/tuff breccia unit

south of the Viola Lake Stock [Plan 1). They are uniform massive flows, and

display no primary features [vesicles, pillows etc.). At L9E/2+80S, the unit

has a somewhat tuffaceous appearance, but it may be brecciated since it is

adjacent to a shear. The rocks are greyish-green, and very fine- to fine

grained. Amphibole is the dominant mafic mineral. They are locally slightly

schistose, chloritic, and contain minute seams or streaks of calcite, particu

larly near known or interpreted shears. Rare biotite alteration occurs near

one sulphide-mineralized zone. Samples typical of this unit are: 92-BB-1008,

-1013, 1O14 and 1018.

Whole rock analyses (Table 10, Appendix VII) show the rocks to be

high-Mg tholeiitic basalt to andesite. Sample 92-BB-1008 falls in the range

of high-Mg basaltic komatiite. All samples have FM ratios of 49.4 to 59.7

(average 56.8/0. Although two of the samples (92-BB-1013 and -1018) lie near

shears or sulphide mineralization, they do not appear to be significantly altered

on the basis of their low LOI contents.

Tuffaceous - Sedimentary Unit (ts)

This enigmatic assemblage of rocks traverses the property; it is of

fairly uniform thickness in the central and eastern areas of the grid, but widens

considerably to the west. Ayer and others (1988) mapped the rocks as siltstone,

mudstone and wacke. This study has also shown the rocks to be clastic, including

siltstone and probable wacke; it is also believed that there is, in part, a

tuffaceous volcanic component. Ayer and others (1988) may have benefitted by

petrographic studies, since mapping is made difficult by generally poor, lichen

and grass covered, broken outcrops consisting of heaved blocks.

Rock descriptions of analyzed samples (Appendix I) and whole rock

and trace geochemical analyses (Table 11, Appendix VII) include samples

92-BB-1OOO, -1OO1, -1O03, -1OO4, -1OO6, -1O1O and -1O15).

The rocks are poorly to moderately bedded (cm-scale), and faintly

schistose. Weathering surfaces are generally buff to pale reddish-brown due to

the oxidation of trace sulphides (pyrrhotite); fresh surfaces are tan to dark

greenish-brown. Very fine grain size precludes positive hand specimen identifi

cation of most of the constituent minerals, although quartz, and to a lesser

-15 -

extent, whitish feldspar predominate. Biotite (about 5X) is reasonably wide

spread; white mica (sericite or muscovite) is rare.

A few outcrops were mapped as siltstone (ts ) or wacke (ts ), butst w

most rocks are of uncertain origin, and could be classified as either clastic

sedimentary of distal aquagene tuffaceous in nature. These are noted on Plan

1 as ts or ts . Scattered outcrops on the 1991 grid (LO to L3E) were st t w t

originally mapped as felsic tuffs; these areas were not remapped in 1992, and

are shown as uncertain tuff (ts ?) on Plan 1. Whole rock analyses (Table 11)

are not diagnostic. Samples 92-BB-1000 and -1003 could be classified as calc-

alkaline dacitic or rhyolitic tuff, but they could equally be - from high Al O

feldspathic siltstone. Sample 92-BB-1006 does not consistently fall within

any volcanic field, and it is probably a wacke. The analysis for sample

92-BB-1015 is suspect (see footnote, Table 11).

Intermediate Tuff/Tuff Breccia (itv)

This unit lies immediately south of the Viola Lake Stock. It is

exposed across about 140 m on L8E and L9E, and is cut off by the Viola Lake

Stock on its west end. It is also exposed on excellent shoreline outcrops

on Adams River Bay just east of the property, and was observed (but not mapped)

around the NE (#1) claim post of K1191242. Two small zones are intercalated in

the tuffaceous - sedimentary unit.

The main unit is readily distinguishable. Although grossly fairly

uniform, the unit is comprised of a very fine-grained, (grey-) green groundmass

with fragments of more mafic (dark green) and less mafic (greenish-cream)

composition. Dark green amphibole and quartzo-feldspathic material predominate.

The clasts vary in size up to 20 cm long, and are moderately flattened; where

outcrop is obscured by vegetation, a crude bending is probably due to flattened

fragments. The main unit can in many areas be considered a tuff-breccia

because of fragment size (samples 92-BB-1005, -1007, 92-BBP-001, -002, -003).

The intercalations within the tuffaceous - sedimentary unit have much smaller,

lapilli-sized fragments (sample 92-BB-1002). The unit is everywhere slightly

to moderately schistose.

- 16 -

A typical, but not exclusive Feature oF the tuFF unit is the presence

oF dark green/black pyroxene (possibly local hornblende?] porphyroblasts

about 2-4 mm in length. Ayer and others f 1988) mapped this unit as amphibolitized

lapilli tuFF, tuFF breccia and/or bedded tuFF/tuFFaceous wacke with pyroxene

phenocrysts and local garnet porphyroblasts. The pyroxene is Felt to actually

be porphyroblastic because the grains are mostly randomly oriented despite

stretching oF the tuFF Fragments, and because they also occur in massive maFic

volcanic rocks adjacent to the Viola Lake Stock.

Despite the apparent heterogeneity oF the main unit, whole rock analyses

oF hand specimens returned quite uniForm compositions [Table 12, Appendix VII].

The sample oF lapilli tuFF (92-BB-1002] i s distinctive because oF its relatively

high Al O and Na O contents, and low CaO and K O contents; in this respect, it

is chemically more similar to the maFic metavolcanic (mmv] unit. All rocks,

however, Fall within the range oF tholeiitic basalt; despite their appearance in

the Field oF being more intermediate in composition than the maFic Flow rocks

(mmv], they are actually somewhat more basic, based in SiO contents. The FM

ratios vary From S3.4/6 (high Mg tholeiite] to 7B.B'/, (high Fe tholeiite]; the

highest ratio occurs in a sample (92-BBP-002] with about 3/S pyrrhotite, and

is Felt to be biased. The Zr/TiO and Nb/Y ratios are typical oF tholeiites,

except For sample 92-BBP-003 which has a very high Zr/TiO ratio oF O.11, typical

oF much more Felsic rocks; the Zr content oF 80O ppm cannot be explained.

Metagabbro and Diorite (gb, di]

Metagabbro (gb] is exposed in several localities in the eastern part oF

the property, cutting both the tuffaceous - sedimentary unit and the intermediate

tuFF unit. The bodies appear to be lensoidal. It is massive, medium-grained,

typically gabbroic-textured, and is composed oF dark green hornblende and

saussuritized(?] plagioclase. There is no Fabric, and the rock was probably

intruded subsequent to regional metamorphism. A magnetically interpreted gabbro

body, overlying gabbro outcrop, traverses stratigraphy between L5E/2+15S and

L1E/2+80S (see Plan 9, and section 9] is apparently oFFset by conjugate Faulting

thought to be related to intrusion oF the Viola Lake Stock; the gabbro thereFore

predates the granodiorite.

- 17 -

A small body of massive, medium-grained biotite-diorite is poorly

exposed near L7E/2+15S. It occurs nowhere else in the general area (Fig. 2),

and may be a contaminated(?) phase of the gabbroic rocks.

Biotite-Granodiorite

On the property, the rocks of the Viola Lake Stock are quite uniform.

The granodiorite is typically white, greyish, buff, or pink weathering, massive

and medium-grained (3-5 mm). The pinkish varieties are due to irregularly distri

buted zones of concentration of Kfeldspar megacrysts up to several cm in size.

The rock is composed of plagioclase, quartz, minor Kfeldspar and less than 5/S

biotite. Poorly developed 'dry' fracture/joint surfaces locally contain patches

of black tourmaline.

The contact of the Viola Lake Stock is intrusive and does not appear

to have been structurally modified. On L3E, the contact irregularly cuts mafic

flow rock; an apophysis is suggested on L5E. A few smaller bodies of granodiorite

south of the contact are much finer-grained (1-2 mm), and have an aplitic

appearance.

8.2 Metamorphism, Alteration and Structure

As noted above, metamorphism of the supracrustal rocks throughout

the property appears to have attained amphibolite facies metamorphic grade;

dark amphibole in the mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks is ubiquitous. The

presence of pyroxene in some of the tuff/tuff breccia and mafic flow units near

the Viola Lake Stock implies local pyroxene-hornfels metamorphism, although this

is unlikely in the aureole of a granitoid body. Chlorite is present only as a

retrograde mineral associated with suspected or confirmed shears.

Penetrative deformational fabric is inconsistent. Much of the mafic

metavolcanic (mmv) unit is massive, but is locally to weakly schistose. Fabric

in the tuff/tuff breccia (itv) unit is expressed by flattened fragments and weak

schistosity. Fabric in these two volcanic units is probably subdued because of

the scarcity of micaceous minerals. Schistosity in the tuffaceous - sedimentary

- 18 -

unit (ts], due to the presence of biotite, is modest, and appears to be parallel

to bedding where evident. Schistosity dips 75 to 85 north, mostly 80 .

Shearing occurs at a number of localities. All but one of these are

associated with VLF-EM conductor axes (see section 9). At L1E/2+60S, the

felsic metavolcanic rock(?) of unit ts is sericitic, schistose and limonite-

stained (Kuehnbaum, 1991). On L7E/2+80S, along the same conductor, sheared

rock was exposed in broken bedrock in a soil pit; the rock is rotted, limo-

nitic, and slightly schistose, and contains sericite and quartz 'eyes' (sample

92-BB-1009]. Further east (L9E/E+80S], rubble on a hillslope, surrounded by

mafic metavolcanic rock, is highly siliceous, dark grey (probably graphitic],

and contains white and limonitic laminae (to H-5 mm]; the unit, probably 1-3 m

wide, resembles an argillaceous siltstone but is interpreted as a shear [samples

92-BB-1011 and -1012].

On L3+50E/3+30S, another rubbly zone (approximately 2 m wide] exposes

a probable shear. The siliceous, chlorite-sericite-bearing material is highly

oxidized, but still contains AaA pyrrhotite and minor pyrite and chalcopyrite(?]

(sample 92-BB-1019]. This zone is located on a geophysically interpreted shear

(section 9]. The enveloping mafic metavolcanic rocks are slightly biotite- and

pyrrhotite-enriched (samples 92-BB-1017 and -1O18].

Another interpreted shear of unknown dimensions at L4+50E/2+50S is

exposed as rubble in a soil pit. It is heavily limonite-stained, friable and

chloritic (sample 92-BB-1016].

Whole rock analyses of samples of shears are given in Table 13. When

compared with other whole rock data of the rocks in which they occur, they are

characterized by high LOI contents reflecting hydrated Fe oxides (limonite]

and mica, spotty enrichment in Fe O and CaO (calcite alteration?], and spotty

depletion in Al O .

Faulting was nowhere observed on the grid. Faint northeast trending

lineaments on airphotos, visible on the ground as as valleys between outcrop

ridges at the southern ends of L1E to L3E, are interpreted to be faults which

sinistrally offset stratigraphy. Although conductor axes have not been interpreted

to" be offset, they could easily do so. Other magnetically interpreted northeast

- 19 -

and northwest trending faults further east offset gabbro bodies and magnetic

trends (section 9, Plan 9}. These faults are believed to have developed during

emplacement of the Viola Lake Stock.

An old pit on Bear Bay (Plan 1] exposes yellow-weathering, intensely

argillized granodiorite and/or felsite cut by a stockwork (550 of 1-30 cm

white, vuggy quartz veinlets. Minor limonite pseudomorphs after marcasite (?)

occur in the quartz, and many fractures are coated with Mn-oxides (Kuehnbaum,

1991). The cause of this alteration is unexplained, but the pit lies on trend

with a weak conductor (shear?) crossing LO and L1E to the east.

8.3 Mineralization

The set-up of 1976 Hudson Bay diamond drillhole D-5 was not located

despite careful examination of the most probable area around L4E. The drillhole

penetrated 2.4 m of overburden (Appendix VI), so it could have been located

anywhere not on outcrop. From the geophysical plans of MacTavish (1975),

L39+OOE on the Hudson Bay grid lies about 7BO m west of the tip of the inlet

on Adams River Bay, or around L4E on the present grid; the location of 4+05N

given on the drill log, however, is obviously in error with respect to the

Hudson Bay grid (should be more than 50+OON). Since the drillhole cut only

'andesite', it could be assumed that it was put down in the area of the minera

lization found at conductor V2 (Plan 9) since the main property-wide conductor

V1 lies within the tuffaceous - sedimentary unit around L4E.

Regardless, no mineralization was found at surface comparable to that

described in drillhole D-5. The best mineralization (L3+50E/3+30S, sample

92-BB-1019, Appendix I) consists of a roughly 'S. m wide zone, interpreted as s

shear (see section 8.2, above) containing pyrrhotite, and possible pyrite and

chalcopyrite. The sample contained only 52 ppm Cu, 92 ppm Zn, ^5 ppb Au, and

no significant amounts of other metals.

Very low base and precious metals values were returned for grab samples

from the property-wide shear (V1 on Plan 9), reflected by samples 92-BB-1001,

-1009, -1011, and -1012 (Table 13, Appendix VII). They contain maxima of

C.0.5 ppm Ag, 95 ppm Cu, 14 ppm Pb, 50 ppm Zn and <5 ppb Au. The limonitic

- 20 -

shear at L4+50E/2+50S is also unmineralized, but contains slightly higher

Cu: 215 ppm.

Pyrrhotite is very widely distributed in minor amounts fl-2%). Rock

samples were routinely analyzed for base and precious metals (Tables 10 to 12,

Appendix VII). Results are low: ^.5 ppm Ag, 16-198 ppm Cu, 20-108 ppm Zn,

as well as very low contents of Pb, Co and Ni. Au contents are low (-45 to 15

ppb), except sample 92-BB-1002, with 760 ppb Au; this sample of intermediate

tuff contains minor 1-2 mm quartz-carbonate veinlets which are probably gold-

enriched.

Kuehnbaum C1991) channel- and grab-sampled the old pit on Bear Bay.

Samples contained *5-20 ppb Au, 168-391 ppm Cu, 2-16 ppm Pb, 14-82 ppm Zn, and

*0.5 ppm Ag.

9. MAGNETIC AND VLF-EM SURVEYS

Contoured magnetic readings (Plan g] and VLF-EM profiles (Plan 3)

incorporate data from 1991 (LO to L3E) and 1992 (L3+50E to L9E). Fraser

filtered data (Plan 4) were calculated to assist in conductor interpretation.

Plan 9 is a compilation map of simplified geology, soil geochemistry and geophy

sical interpretation. The locations of VLF-EM conductors, magnetic bodies,

magnetic domains and structures shown on Plan 9 were interpreted by F.L.

Jagodits, P. Eng., Consulting Geophysicist, Toronto, Ontario. The ensuing

description of the results was, however, prepared by the author following

discussions with F.L. Jagodits regarding his interpretation.

Only two magnetic domains are evident. The northern domain (Gr) is

of magnetically low relief, with readings - excluding weak anomalies - in the

range of about 59,200 nT to 59,400 nT. Domain Gr actually incorporates several

lithologic units. Readings over the intermediate tuff/tuff breccia (itv) unit

are actually somewhat lower (by 50 -75 nT) than over the Viola Lake Stock.

Domain Gr incorporates part of the tuffaceous - sedimentary unit (ts) in the

west, and mafic metavolcanic rocks (mmv) in the east, where background response

does not differ significantly from that in the northern part of the property.

- 21 -

The southern domain (V) is interpreted to represent a volcanic regime,

and shows considerable magnetic relief. The prominent anomaly M1, evident

From L1E to L5E (possibly to LBE, Plan 9) is interpreted to be due to gabbro;

it overlies at one location a gabbro outcrop at least 15 m wide. Response is

up to +61.400 nT, or about 1,900 to 2,000 nT above background. A small anomaly

at the north end of L4+50E is thought to be a fault-offset portion of this body.

The gabbro is clearly a pinch-and-swell dyke which transgresses supracrustal

boundaries; it is younger than the mafic metavolcanic (mmv) and tuffaceous -

sedimentary (ts) units.

M2 is a second anomaly trend extending from L3E to LBE. At line 5E,

it is strongest ( about +600 nT) where it overlies gabbro outcrop. At its

western end, it is also interpreted to be due to gabbro; other areas may be

due to magnetic flows within the mafic metavolcanic unit or thinner, less magnetic

gabbro bodies. It lies oblique to the boundary of units mmv and itv. Other

gabbro and diorite in outcrop is not magnetic.

M3 is a cluster of magnetic bodies interpreted by F.L. Jagodits to be

due to magnetic zones within mmv. On L4+50E, however, the strongest part of the

anomaly C+2,400 nT) directly overlies shear-related pyrrhotite mineralization.

On LBE, the anomaly (up to +1,100 nT) is very broad, and partly overlies outcrop

of mmv with trace pyrrhotite; it is interpreted to be the result of two separate

magnetic bodies: one extending east from the zone of pyrrhotite mineralization;

the other of volcanic origin, to the south.

Anomaly M4 (about +400 nT, LO) is also interpreted to be of volcanic

origin, but its orientation and presence within the tuffaceous - sedimentary

unit (ts) also suggests possible gabbro, or even pyrrhotite mineralization.

The most prominent VLF-EM conductor (V1) is of fair strength, and

traverses the property. It is interpreted to be continuous, but geological

evidence suggests that it could be slightly offset on the west end (see section

8.2). It is directly related to three exposures of interpreted shearing (L1E,

L7E, L9E). These zones, described in sections 8.2 and 8.3, are of unknown width,

although that on L9E is in the order of 1-3 m wide. They are limonitic, possibly

due to oxidized sulphides, and are possibly graphitic. Significantly, there

- 22 -

is no magnetic responsed corresponding with conductor V1, suggesting that any

sulphide mineralization would not include pyrrhotite. The conductor/shear

transgresses major litholgic boundaries.

Conductor V2, approximately 200 m in length and open to the west, is

related to the shear-related pyrrhotite mineralization at surface which is

reflected by magnetic anomaly M3. The conductor axis lies slightly to the north

of the exposure, suggesting that additional shearing and/or sulphide mineralization

may lie under low ground at the base of the slope.

Conductor V3 is weak, and lies within the tuffaceous - sedimentary unit

(ts). Its significance is due to a roughly related magnetic anomaly (M4) and

soil geochemical anomalies. Conductor V4, also weak, is underlain by a swampy

area and is entirely within the Viola Lake Stock; it may reflect a large joint

or fracture. Other weak conductors underlie the swamp in the southeast part of

the property; they may be due to conductive material [clay].

The interpreted northeast and northwest trending faults have been dis

cussed above (section 8.2). It is noteworthy that a zone of shearing found at

L4+50E/2+50S is not reflected by a conductor, but it does lie very close to an

interpreted fault.

10. B HORIZON SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY

1O. 1 Soil Types and Vegetation

B horizon soils were chosen as the medium for sampling in 1991 and

1992 because of its success, in the author's experience, in generally sharply

defined anomalies over bedrock mineralization in the Lake of the Woods area.

In the region, there is generally a very thin till mantle, in the order of less

than 1 m to around 2 m deep, lying on bedrock which is often deeply decomposed

when sulphides or shears are present. Thus, buried mineralization can be

detected by either primary (glacial) or secondary (hydromorphic) dispersion of

metals.

- 23 -

The Bear Bay area is ideal for B horizon soil sampling. With the

exception of swamps, it is completely underlain by till. The matrix composition -

with respect to proportions of clay-, silt- and sand-sized components - is highly

variable, from predominantly clay with minor sand and silt fractions, to

predominantly sandy. Colour is equally highly variable, including greyish-

brown, beige, and medium to dark brown. Yellowish, orangey and reddish-brown

matrices are common over and around conductors, reflecting dispersion of iron

as reflected by limonite (after sulphides?) in the oxidized bedrock. Cobbles

and boulders of granitic rocks abound in the till, but many areas contain

mixed, angular, locally derived bedrock fragments; broken subcrop was found

in a number of soil pits at depths of less than 20 cm. Matrix descriptions

are presented on Plan 5.

Over the property, vegetation is consistently mixed bush consisting of

spruce, balsam, poplar, birch and jackpine, with a mostly dense understory of

hazel, alder, young trees and various shrubs - typical of Lake of the Woods.

Over the Viola Lake Stock, the bush is somewhat more open because of large out

crops, and jackpine and black spruce predominate. The large swamp on the

southern property boundary contains mature black ash, and the swamp on L3E to

L4+50E is open and grassy, or alder-covered.

10.2 Statistical Treatment of Results

Frequency distribution diagrams were constructed for copper, lead, zinc,

cobalt, nickel, iron and manganese, using 1991 and 1992 results (Tables 3 to 9,

Figs. 3a to 9a]. Diagrams were not done for silver or molybdenum since very few

values exceed the detection limits (O.5 ppm Ag, 1 ppm Mo], and any value in

excess of the detection limit could be considered anomalous. Best-Fit, Freehand

curves were drawn through Frequency distribution populations in order to divide

anomalous From background levels. For the most part, data do not display normal

distribution. In Fact, several background populations are apparent: three For

copper, zinc and nickel; two For lead and iron. This type oF distribution makes

the selection oF anomalous levels diFFicult. Only manganese and cobalt display

normal, single background populations. The multiple background populations are

likely due to varying bedrock types.

- 24 -

The non-anomalous values were then replotted into cumulative frequency

diagrams (Figs. 3b to 9b), STTi arbitrarily chosen as the lower limit of ther~

'probably anomalous' level, and 50^ as the median (background) value; median

values are probably somewhat meaningless due to multiple background populations.

Statistical data are presented in Table 2.

In 1991, gold contents were determined For B horizon soils on LO to

analyzed.

10.3 Description oF Soil Anomalies

Contoured data For copper and zinc, cobalt and nickel, and lead and

iron are shown on Plans 6,7 and 8, respectively. Except For copper, lowermost

contours were chosen at or close to the 'probably anomalous' levels. Attempts

to contour at lower levels did not result in clearer patterns. Probably anomalous

level contours are shown on the compilation plan (Plan 9). Anomalies discussed

below thereFore incorporate 'probably anomalous' values and above.

- 25 -

Anomaly 1 (Plan 9) is a weak, coincident Pb C18 ppm) - Zn (250 ppm)

zone where conductor V3 crosses LO. To the south is a weak Co (44 ppm) anomaly.

The anomalous Cu-Zn zone overlies an outcrop of the tuffaceous - sedimentary

unit (ts) with minor pyrrhotite; no explanation for Anomaly 1 can be given.

Anomaly 'S. overlies the western end of VLF-EM conductor V1 between LO

and L3E. It consists of partly overlapping and isolated anomalous values of

Cu (up to 80 ppm), Zn (up to 324 ppm), Ni (up to 49 ppm) and Pb (up to 20 ppm).

The soils are also locally Fe-enriched (up to B.47%). The 40 ppm Cu contour shows

the anomaly to be somewhat more continuous (Plan B). The anomaly is probably

related to metal enrichment in the shear expressed by conductor V1.

Anomaly 3 is defined by a broad Zn anomaly (252-785 ppm Zn) between

L4E and L9E. It incorporates smaller zones of enrichment in Cu (51-141 ppm),

Co (up to 32 ppm), Ni (up to 120 ppm), Pb (up to 22 ppm) and Fe. It is interes

ting that the two areas of shearing mapped on L7E and L9E are not associated with

anomalous soils. The anomaly is also interpreted to be due to metal enrichment

in a shear expressed by conductor V1, with zinc showing the broadest dispersion.

The broad Cu-Ni anomaly along the south end could be due to glacial dispersion.

Anomaly 4 is a 2-station Ni anomaly (47 S 88 ppm) overlying and likely

due to a gabbro body (outcrop and magnetic evidence).

Anomaly 5 is a 1-station Cu (50 ppm) and 2-station Zn (272 S 342 ppm)

anomaly situated just south of the pyrrhotite-bearing, oxidized shear(?) on

L3+50E. It may represent glacial dispersion from the zone (anywhere on conductor

V2), although both soil and rock samples from the mineralized zone were not

significantly metal-enriched.

Anomaly B consists of two single-station anomalies with 99 and 144 ppm

Cu, 44 and 74 ppm Co, 57 and 53 ppm Ni, and significant Fe enrichment (up to S.8%),

The samples directly overlie interpreted magnetic bodies, possibly indicating

buried sulphide (pyrrhotite) mineralization similar to the zone at L3+50E.

APPENDIX V

ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

All samples were submitted to Chemex Lsbs Ltd., Mississauga, Ontario and Vancouver, B.C., for geochemical analysis (rocks and soils] and whole- rock geochemical analysis (rocks) using the following procedures.

SOIL SAMPLE PREPARATION

Drying and sieving to -80 mesh

ROCK SAMPLE PREPARATION

Sample crushed, split and RING ground to approximately -15O mesh.

ANALYTICAL

1. GOld (Rocks], 10 grams of sample fused in litharge, carbonate and siliceous flux to produce a button containing precious metals. Button cupelled in muffle furnace to produce a precious metals bead which is dissolved in nitric acid - aqua regia. Measurement by atomic absorption analysis. Detection limit 5 ppb.

2. Silver, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Lead and Zinc. \ gram sample dissolved in nitric acid - aqua regia, and analyzed by induced coupled plasma (ICP] methods. Detection limits: 0.5 ppm Ag; 1 ppm Co, Cu, Mo, and Ni; 5 ppm Mn and Pb; D.01% Fe.

3. Whole Rock Oxides, Loss on Ignition (LOI), and Barium, Niobium,Strontium, Yttrium and Zirconium (Rocks). 0.10 gm sample added to lithium metaborate flux, and fused to 1050 C. Resultant bead cooled and dissolved in 100 mL of 4/i nitric acid. Major rock components [oxides], Ba, Mb, Sr, Y and Zr determined by ICP analysis, corrected for inter-element interference. Detection limits: D.01% for whole rock oxides; 1O ppm Ba, Nb, Sr, Y and Zr .

Rb determined by atomic absorption analysis using same solution as For whole rock analysis. Detection limit 5 ppm.

LOI determined by adding 1 gm sample to previously heated (660 C), cooled and weighed porcellain crucible. Sample and crucible heated to 660 C for 1 hr, cooled and weighed. LOI determined by weight loss, detection limit D.01%.
