SUMMARY
During June of 1982, a geological survey was conducted
on eight (8) claims in east central Bartlett township, District of
Timiskaming, Ontario.
The property is underlain by felsic to intermediate
volcanics, chert, mafic dykes and a felsic intrusive.
The airborne electromagnetic anomaly was explained
by the presence of a gabbroic dyke containing pyrite and pyrrhotite.
It is recommended that no further work be conducted
at this time.

INTRODUCTION
A detailed geological survey was carried out on a
group of eight (8) claims in Bartlett township during June of
1982. The claim numbers are P-618277-84 and are. recorded in the
name of Amax of Canada Limited.
The property covers several air electromagnetic
anomalies uncovered during a helicopter-borne survey carried out
by Amax in August of 1980. The anomalies trend approximately north-
south through the centre of the claim group.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The group of eight claims is situated in central
Bartlett township in the District of Timiskaming, Ontario.
The property is located about 2 kilometres east,
along the old Texmont Mine access road at the Scott Lake boat launch.
TOPOGRAPHY AND RESOURCES
The relief on the property is quite low with swampy
ground predominating in the south and west claims.
Vegetation consists of mature stands of spruce,

pine and poplar in the northeast claims and scattered spruce, cedar
and alders in the swampy areas.
Water for diamond drilling is available from Boomer
ang Lake, from a small lake in claim P-618279 and from a swamp in
the southwest portion of claim P-618281.
PREVIOUS WORK
From Assessment Files
In 1956, Paymaster Consolidated conducted magnetic
and vertical loop geophysical surveys in the area. A number of
diamond drill holes were drilled into felsic metavolcanics. Assay
results were nil to 0.02 oz/ton Au.
In 1965, Silver Summit Mines Limited did linecutting,
geophysics and diamond drilling. Low values of Ni were found.
From 1969 to 1970 they found low values of Cu and Ni together with
gold. Prospecting and trenching near Au values were recommended
but not carried out.
In the Field
None.
SURVEY METHOD
The survey was performed by S. Davies and L. de St.
Jorre during June, 1982. Air photos at a scale of l " sk mile and
air photo blow-ups at a scale of 1:5,000 were used as control while
-4-
mapping. Traverse lines were run using pace and compass at 125
metre intervals across the claims.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
Early Precambrian (Archean) metavolcanic and plutonic
rocks underlie most of the area.
Two cycles of volcanism are recognized, each consist
ing of a lower unit of ultramafic metavolcanics, an overlying unit
of mafic metavolcanics and an upper unit of intermediate to felsic
metavolcanics.
A pretectonic, layered gabbroic sill and minor felsic
epizonal intrusions are largely confined to the lower sequence of
metavolcanics.
Late tectonic stocks of granodiorite and monzonite
were emplaced within the metavolcanic-metasedimentary succession.
The lower sequence of mafic and ultramafic metavolcanics was intruded
by a large complex granitic batholith composed of at least three
separate intrusive phases.
Diabase dykes are numerous and are not confined to a
specific metavolcanic sequence.
The major structural features in the area consist of
a domal structure in Geikie township that is flanked by large syn-
clines to the north and south and numerous north trending faults
which are probably part of the Onaping Lineament.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The property 035-10 is situated on the southern margin
of a small felsic intrusion which was emplaced in the Upper Volcanic
Formation in the Lower Volcanic Group.
Felsic volcanic flows (dacite) were found striking
approximately north-east through the central part of the claim group.
It is flanked on either side by intermediate to felsic crystal tuff.
Chert and cherty sediments were also found in the west central part
of the claims and in the southeast claims.
The volcanics were weakly foliated and mineralized.
The chert was well bedded, striking north-east and dipping to the
southeast. Excellent exposure of the chert on the powerline in
P-618281 showed graded bedding, flame structures and pseudo-nodules.
Tops of the beds were interpreted to be to the southeast. The
chert was well mineralized with pyrite occurring up to 20^ in
places.
Three gabbroic intrusions were also found on the
property. One gabbroic dyke was found striking north-south through
the centre of the claim group. It was moderately mineralized with
pyrite and minor pyrrhotite.
The two other gabbro dykes were found in the south-
west corner of claim P-618281. They were both serpentinized and
poorly mineralized.
-6-
Granite was found underlying the northwest portion
of the group.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The property is located on the margin of a felsic
intrusion. It is underlain by felsic to intermediate volcanics,
chert, cherty sediments and a series of mafic (gabbro) dykes.
The airborne electromagnetic anomaly was explained
by the presence of a gabbro dyke which was mineralized with
pyrite and pyrrhotite.
The highly mineralized chert was sampled and assayed
and returned nil to trace amounts of Au.
It is recommended that no further work be done on
the property at this time-
