VEGA GOLD EXPLORATIONS INC. IDAGNETDfflETER SURVEY GOOIN LAKE PROPERTY
GOUOREAU-IOCHALSH AREA DISTRICT OF ALGOIKIA, ONTARIO
Summaryt
This report covers the results of the Proton magnetometer survey
run over the property during the month of March, 1982. Approximately .
6.12 miles of line was traversed over claims SSIfl 5825II to 582517
inclusive. Stations were taken at 100 foot intervals on lines 400 feet apart.
The purpose of the survey was to delineate any mineralized zones
and to attempt to delineate the geological structure underlying the
claim group.
Two areas of high to moderate magnetic signature were encountered
during the survey. One corresponds to a magnetite rich diorite intrusive
or coarse grained basic flow with associated magnetite-pyrrhotite rich
shears. The other corresponds to banded iron formation or magnetite-
pyrrhotite rich shears.
Pyrite-magnetite-pyrrhotite rich shears in the area have been
found to contain significant amounts of gold. Many of these shear zones
lie at or in close proximity to the contacts between diorite intrusives
and metavolcanic units, and between coarse grained- magnetite rich
basic flows and the fine grained metavolcanic flows.
Location and Accesst
The property is located approximately 20 miles to the northeast
of the town of Wawa, in the District of Algoma* Northern Ontario. It
is approximately A miles to the southwest of Lochalsh and 14 miles to the
northeast of Goudreau* Lochalsh is on the Canadian Pacific Railway line
and Goudfceau is on the Algoma Central Railway line* A gravel road connects
Goudreau to Lochalsh and comes within one mile of the claim boundary*
This road is intersected by a gravelled forestry access road from the
town of Dubruilville, which is connected with the Trans Canada Highway.
Further access can be made by float plane to Godin Lake.
The claims surveyed consist of seven unpatented mining claims
numbered:
5SIKI 582511 ssn)
SSmre M c men5Sm 5B25I3 CCM CQ7CT7SSffl 5825IA SSni 582517
Topographyt
The property surveyed is generally flat lying in relief. Approximately
50^ of the claim group is covered by low-lying alder-spruce covered over
burden. A few outcrops are found in the northwest and northeast sections
of the property. These sections are covered by mature poplar and birch
vegetation cover.
A few jack pine ridges of sand are found in the northwest section
of the property. These glacial morraine/dune ridges trend in a north-
south direction.
The central portion of the claim group is overlain by open swamp
ar eas .
General Geologyt
The oldest rocks are of Precambrian age* Archean metavolcanics
and metasedimentary rock units have been intruded by granodiorite, quartz
porphyry, felsite porphyry, and diorite units t Younger diabase dykes of
two ages cut all the other formations generally in a northwest-southeast
direction.
The general geological strike of the rock units is in an east-west
direction and dipping steeply to the south.
The major dykes and siliceous fracture systems are found to strike
at angles parallel to and discordant to the regional geological strike in
generally three directions J northwest-southeast, northeast-southwest, and
east-west.
Economic Geology i
The area is noted for its past production in gold and silver,
although minor amounts of copper, zinc, and iron are also found.
The gold in the area is found to occur in fissure-type quartz-
carbonate veins, and pyrite-rich shear zones. Rany of these shear
zones lie at or in close proximity to the contacts between the basic
metavolcanic and diorite-granodiorite intrusive units. They also occur
within acid rich metavolcanic and granodiorite units.
The shear zones striko in generally an east-west direction and
several of these lie on strike with the Pick/Cline Wind deposit, the
Edwards Consolidated Wine deposit, and the Magino/Algoma Summit Wine
deposit. Reports indicate that the past producers in the area collectively
produced over 78,000 ounces of gold and,13,000 ounces Of silver in the
past.
Specifics of Surveyi
The survey was completed with the USB of the Exploranium-
Geometrics 'Unimag 1 Proton magnetometer. It has a digital readout with a
sensitivity of plus or minus 10 gammas.
Station readings were taken at intervals of 100 feet on lines
spaced at 400 feet apart. Where abnormally high or low readings were
encountered, stations were taken at 50 foot intervals. Some 6.16
miles were traversed during the survey* in which some 335 readings
were taken.
The accuracy of the readings was increased by averaging two or three
readings, especially in areas of high magnetic fluctuation, or until
fluctuations decreased to a constant level. The range selector was changed
during high magnetic fluctuations.
The 'world gamma range* setting on the instrument was brought down
to a scale relative to the airborne magnetics of the area when plotting
the final resultant readings. Results, after plotting corrections for
diurnal drift, are plotted at 500 gamma intervals. Base plans are plotted
at a scale of I" to 400 feet.
Actual field work was completed during the month of March, 1982.
Results!
Several areas of moderate to high magnetic signature have been
encountered during the survey* These signatures are elongated in an
east-west to northwest-southeast direction; paralleling the regional
geological strike.
Some of the magnetic responses are found to be as high as
5700 gammas above the normal background* Two areas of strong magnetic
signature have been encountered*
Trend A is an area of moderately high magnetic signature found in
the north and mid-eastern section of the claims. The highest responses
lie on lines 12 West, 40 West and 60 West,
Trend B is an area of moderate magnetic signature in the southern
portion of the claim group. The highest responses lie between lines
32 West and 48 West.
.'A f-.---'
Conclusionst
Two areas of high to moderate magnetic signature have been
traversed during the survey.
Anomalous trend A outlines a diorite intrusive unit or coarse
grained basic metavolcanic flow unit with a high disseminated magnetite
content. In the extreme northwest of the claim group, narrow bands
of either iron formation or pyrrhotite bearing shears have been traced
by the magnetics.
Anomalous trend 8 traces a narrow banded unit and coincides with
a pyrite-pyrrhotite bearing shear. The basic flow unit in this area
probably has a higher than normal magnetite content, which is
normal of the rock in close proximity to the shears throughout the
general area.
These zones should be further delineated and detailed by running
lines at 200 foot spacings, and also by geological mapping of the
claim group.

* 42ce8sweies ee*3 JACOBSON O2O Summary!
This report covers the results of the V.L.F. electromagnetic survey
which was run over the property during the month of March* 1982*
The purpose of the survey was to further delineate any known min
eralized zones or conductive shear zones which cut through the area.
Rock outcrops are scarce and overburden covers 90?6 of the claim
group. Swamp overburden covers between one-third and one-half of the
claims surveyed.
Some 7.25 miles of line was traversed during the survey. Readings
were taken at 100 foot intervals on lines spaced at 400 feet apart.
Three east-west anomalous trends were encountered during the survey*
Some of these have parallel bands up to 100 and 200 feet away from the
main trend/zone. These anomalous trends correspond with steeply dipping
pyrite-pyrrhotite-magnetite rich shear zones which parallel the regional
strike.
Some of these zones, generally averaging 5.0 feet or less in width,
have associated copper, zinc and gold values.

Discussion of Equipmentl
The Crone Radem V.L.F. electromagnetic unit utilizes
higher than normal frequencies and is capable of detecting small
sulphide bodies and disseminated sulphide deposits. It accurately isolates
banded conductors and operates through areas of high noise or interference
levels.
This method is capable of deep penetration but due to the low
frequency used, its penetration is limited in areas of clay and conductive
overburden. The components of dip angle in degrees of magnetic field
component, field strength of the magnetic component of the V.L.F. field,
and out of phase component of the magnetic field are measured at each
station.
There are several channels or stations available, each with a
different frequency. A channel is selected so that it is parallel to the
general strike of the area. If this cannot be determined or if the
station is off the air, then orthogonal stations are used to define the
areas with possible conductors.
The dip angle measurement measures the angle of inclination from
horizontal of the direction of the resultant V.L.F, or the amplitude
of the major axis of the polarization ellipse. It is detected by a minimum
on the field strength meter and is read from an inclinometer with a range
of plus or minus 90. A conductor is designated by a true crossover
pattern of the readings. The measurement is taken from an audio null
when the instrument is held in a vertical position, after turning
perpendicular to the direction in alignment with the V.L.F. field.
The V.L.F. field is found by an audio null or minimum field strength
measurement when the instrument is held in a horizontal position. The
accuracy of the dip angle measurement is plus or minus one-half a degree.
mThe field strength measurement defines the shape and the attitude
of the conductor by the strength of the field in the horizontal plane
or the amplitude of the m?, j or axis of the polarization ellipse. It is the
maximum reading obtained from the field strength meter when the instrument
is rotated in the horizontal plane* and is measured as a percent of normal
field strength established at a base station. The field strength of the
V.L.F. stations drifts with time, and must be adjusted with the base
station every few hours. The field strength measurement'has an accuracy of
plus or minus two percent.
The out of phase component of the magnetic field, as a percent
of the normal primary field, is sensitive to the lower order of conductivity
than the dip angle measurement and is used to locate conductors of a low
order of magnitude. It is a measurement of the secondary field produced
by a ground conductor which is in a different phase than the primary
field. This is the minimum reading of the field strength meter obtained
when measuring the dip angle. The measurement has an accuracy of plus
or minus two percent.
Specifics of Surveyi
The survey was completed with the use of the Crone Radem V.L.F.
electromagnetic instrument*
Station readings were taken every 100 feet on lines spaced at
400 feet apart* Base station readings were run on a base line at 400
foot intervals and were tied into frequently throughout the. survey*
Some 7.25 miles or 383 stations were done in total while traversing*
The station of Annapolis Maryland was used throuhout the survey
as both Seattle Washington and Cutler Mains were out of operation for
either part of or throughout the total period that the survey was run.
Annapolis Maryland, with a frequency of 21.4 Khz** although it was
orthogonal to the geological strike of the area, showed up significant
results.
Base plans are plotted at a scale of I inch to 400 feet , the same
scale used when the rest of the Vega Gold Exploration Inc. property
was surveyed. Actual field work was completed during the month of
fflarch, 1982.
Results!
The survey delineates several east-west anomalous trends of weak
conductive strength. Thesa anomalies parallel the regional geological strike.
Interpretations have been aided by geological* topographical*
and magnetic data.
Anomaly A is a weak anomalous trend which traces a pyrite-
pyrrhotite-magnetite bearing shear zpne that dips steeply at 5 to 15
degrees. It has been traced between lines O West and 20 West* and shows
up again between lines 36 West and 4A West as a very weak conductive
zone. This zone shows up strongest on line 12 West where it parallels
an outcropping of banded iron formation.
Anomaly B is a weak anomalous trend found between line 16 West
and line 52 West where it has been traced for at least 3600 feet before
it continues off the property on either and. This anomaly follows a
steeply dipping pyrite-pyrrhotite rich shear zone.
Anomaly C is a discontinuous and weakly conductive zone found
paralleling and some 100 to 200 feet to the south of anomaly 6. It has
been delineated on lines 36 West and 44 West. This anomaly corresponds to
a pyrite rich shear zone.
Anomaly E is a moderately strong to strong anomaly which outlines
an area of 'swamp 1 overburden between lines Q West and 6 West.
Anomaly F is a very weak anomalous trend which outlines an area
of weakly conductive 'swamp* overburden.
Conclusions t
Three significant zones have been outlined on the Vega Explorations
Inc. claims by the V.L.F. electromagnetic survey,
Anomaly A corresponds with a pyrite-pyrrhotite bearing shear zone
with associated banded iron formation. This zone has been found to have
minor amounts of copper and zinc mineralization.
Anomaly B corresponds with a pyrite-pyrrhotite rich shear zone.
Anomaly C is a weak shear zone paralleling anomaly B.
Anomaly O corresponds with a pyrite bearing shear zone.
The strongest diamond drill hole targets outlined by the survey
are as follows t
Anomaly A between lines 8 West and 16 West
Anomaly B and C between lines 32 West and 44 West
Anomaly O between lines 44 West and 52 West
These zones occur in basic metavolcanics close to the contacts
with diorite intrusive units and magnetite riel' - coarse grained
volcanic flow units. Significant gold values have been found in many
of the siliceous/acid rich east-west trending shear zones which cut
through the area surrounding the surveyed claim group.
