The occurrence of aagnetite in th* Groundhog River area h*B been
known for many yearB. Dr. Millot 0. Miller first examined the dopOBltB In
1902 for tho Ontario Department of Mine B and the area wes *epped in l?24
by E, W. Todd and in 1957 by W. D. ile r d ing, both of whoa eh** the iron
bands on their maps.
Not until the development of efficient methode of concentrating
low-grade siliceous magnetites and the increasing popularity in the eteel
industry of the high-grade pellets produced fro* them In reoent years* did
the Groundhog River deposits become of economic importanoe* In 1957 and
1956 however* Kuketush Mining Corporation acquired claims in Penhorwood
Township where, by drilling and magnetometer surveying, a large body of
concentrating ore hae been outlined.
By dip-needle reconnaissance the trend of the magnetite band

Todd states "The iron is in the form of aegnetite interbanded
with jaeper and white ellice which, in parts of the formation, hee associa

Such an occurrence of sulphides was vieited by Mr. H. B. Geruon
who reporte that eempiee of the eulphido mineralitation contained no detec
table: amounts of nickel. Thin occurrence lies in the northern pert of
olalin S 109712 (NR 200 Kiddle).
Todd e leo ehowe an outcrop of serpentinite lying et-et of the Craw

rock occur in different parts of the area, mostly in the fora of dikes in-- 2 ' '' ' ; "
truding the volcanic rocks". Considerable magnetite, pyrrhotite and chro
mite ie prenent in theee rocka which could therefore give rise to moderately

From experience in Keith Township where serpentinite outcrops

The lent two occurrences are directly on strike of the major mag

atron|, anomalies indicative of magnetite concentrations directly associated
with them. It wight therefore be suggested that these enomelien are indica
tive of lean iron formation. Todd however remarks on the occurrence of
(serpentinite) lying between two narrow magnetite bands on the trail between
Akweskwa Lake and the Crawford River. This, with the uniformity of the
magnetic results from line to line and the similarity to occurrences in
Keith, leads the writer to believe that the B e are bs a lo or ultrabasic dikes

INTRODUCTION
The occurrence of magnetite in the Groundhog River area hae been
known for many years. Dr. 'J 11 lo t G. Miller first examined the depoeits in
1902 for the Ontario Department of Mines and the area was napped in 1?24
by 2. tf. Todd end in 1?J7 by W* D. Harding, both of whom ahovf the iron
bands on their mape.
Not until the development of efficient oethoda of concentrating
low-grade siliceous magnetites and the increasing popularity in the steel
industry of the high-grade pollets produced from them in recent years* did
the Groundhog River deposits become of economic importance* In 1557 and
1958 however, Xukatush Mining Corporation acquired cleirao in penhorwood
TownehIp where, by drilling and oagnetoaeter surveying, a large body of
concentrating ore has been outlined.
By dip-needle reconnaissance the trend of the aagnetite band
shown roughly on map JJg of the Ontario repartaent of Mines was traced
end staked eastward across the eastern part of penhorwood and the western
half of Kenogoming Township.
In order to assess the potential of these claims and direct
future exploration and development a detailed oagnetoaeter survey was
carried out between October 19^9 and Karch 15*60.
The results of this work are shown on the accompanying caps and
discussed in the following report*

nearest lorge town HOB about 40 miles to the northeast along Highway 101,
an excellent asphalt and gravel highway* Prom the highway, e syDtem of
old logging roads negotiable by four-wheel drive vehicles end tractors
give B eccose to the claita group.
SURVEY PROGS PU RE
Kagnetoaieter field work consisted of eeoii-reccnnaieeance aagnfttic
surveying on picket lines spaced at 400-foot intervale* Ae far ae possible
the cross-lines were laid out to cross the iron forsiation at right-angles
to Ho trend, ha a recult lines bear ^'57^ in the westernooet map ehcet
(UK200 iioot) and duo north at the east end of the claia group (NR200 East).
Significant en o, only 2 ones indicated by the reconnaissance were
then covered in detail on 100-foot lines with isagnotic observations at
50-foot intervale.
A Sharpe l!odel A-5 magnetoroater was eaploycd in this work as
it is pBrticulnrly yell sdnntod for use in areas of iron formation having
a r&ngo of over 150,000 gaa^a
LOW AND MORROW
Readings were converted to gaiaoas and plotted at a scale of
200 feet to the inch for the reconnaissance work j detail work on anomaly
cones was plotted at 100 feet to the inch* The only deviation f roa this
pattern was for the separate J-olaira group (S 1084J6 to 106^8) in Pen
horwood. Due to remoteness, lines spaced at 200 fee t were used on this
group and the final aap plotted at 100 feet to the inch.
Profiles Mere drawn at a scale of 10,000 gammas to the inch
which was found to be taost suitable for showing up the anooalies duo to

Due to the length of the property and the number of tnomaliee
requiring detailed purveying, a total of y sheets were required to cover
the area* Prom west to east these are, .

The geology of Penhorwood end Keno^&jainu Townships is shown in a
very general way on Cnt&rio Department of Kines nap JJg. Iron formation
occurs within a wide belt of volcanic rocks which extends in an east-west
direction serous Keith, Penhorwood and tho northwectern portion of Kenoga

Todd states "The iron is in the fora of nsgnetlt* interbended
with jasper and white silica which, in parts of the formation, hae associa
ted with it pyrrhotite which, in acme cases, bears traoea of nickel"t
Such an occurrence of sulphides was visited by Mr* 11* 8. Geroon
who reports that sanples of the eulphido mineralization contained no deteo-
tablo amounts of nickel* This occurrence lies in the northern part of
claiia S 10S712 (m 200 Kiddle).
, Todd also shows an outcrop of serpentinite lying eest of the Craw
ford River in Kenogaming Tovmehip and mentions that "Saall aaesee of this
rock occur in different parts of the area, mostly in the form of dikes in-2truding the volcanic rocks"* Considerable oagnetite, pyrrhotite and chro
mite is present in theee rocks which oould therefore give rise to moderately
high magnetic anomalies* Farther vest in the same volcanic belt* Prest*
mentions the prononeo of sillo of quertz-dlorite, diorite and gabbro* On
the accompanying naps features believed duo to such sills or dikes have
been labeled "Basic Dike*.

netite band and occasionally, as on line 24w and line JJltf (KR 100 Kest) have
strong anomalies indicative of magnetite concentrations directly associated
with them* It might therefore be suggested that these anomalies are indica
tive of lean iron formetion. Todd however remarks on the occurrence of
serpentinite lyin^ between two narrow usa&netite bsnde on the trail between
Akweskwa L&ke and the Crawford River. This, with the uniformity of the
Biagnotio results frcra l ino to line and the sisullarity to occurrences in
Keith, leads the writer to believe that these are basic or ultrabasic dikes
with occasional concentrations of sulphides and toagnetite in or closely
associated with thorn.
Other flisaller bodies are indicated on the sap sheets end certain
ancsaliea such aa those near the south boundary of S 11210J (NK 200 East),
LOW AND MORROW
in 11205/6 end 1120^7 E*y also be due to the presence of basic rooko*
Magnetite
Of greetsr practical laportenee are the narrow intense magnetic
anomalies which are due to banded siliceous magnetite.
The iron formation does not fora a. continuous bend for the full
length of the cleia group but occurs ae lenses from s. few hundred to over
5,000 feet in length tind from (probably) B few feet up to 1^0 feet in
apparent width*
The magnetic profiles indicate that the magnetite-bearing zone e \
are vertical or dipping very steeply to the north.
Although overburden is extensive it does not aeem to be excessively
deep* Five determinations of pole depth at various places scross the claim
group gave depths of from 25 to 60 feet approximately.. -^
1 In order of apparent economic significance, the following is a list
of the more importent 2oneo of Magnetite occurrence)
1. Sheets NR 200 West and UH 100 West (Penhorwood)
(a) Between lines 75# end 12?W an anotaaly with oaxlaiua intensity
in excess of 35.000 gataass indicates a oagnetlte band soae 5,600 feet in
length end up to about 120 feet in apparent width.
This cono ray consist of two overlapping lenses but so
closely contiguous that they say bo considered ae e unit.
(b) After a gap of ebout 400 feet between lines 66U and 72'-'i
the taagnetite band appears again on strike to the east (SJR 100 Ifeet, Penhor
wood) end extends for a further 1,600 feet to line p2'J attaining possible
widths of IpO feet on line 58 and 5?'J.
There ia, thorofore, a potential strike length of 7|200 feet
of magnetite ciineral leat ion along this zone.
LOW AND MORROW
(o) On the same sheet, between linea 6?W and 67W .s. parallel
band occurs lying f rota AGO to 700 feet north of the main bend* This zone
is eone li900 feet in length, froa JO to ?0 feet in apparent width end
hows peak readings of over ^0,000 ganaae.
2. Sheets M 200 Kiddle and JTR 100 Middle (West flalf) between lino*- - ' ,, -V
4S and 615* Here en anomaly zone with peak values up to 29*000 gaoae.s indi
cate o a horizon about 5*7^0 in length and froa 75 to possibly 172 feet ^
apparent width. Detailed work on this zone suggests that it nay bo made up
of two en echelon lenses-overlapping in the vicinity of line JOS.
5* On sheets HR 200 East and NR 100 Bast (Kenogaming) between lines
l*j4E and 12JS a zone of anomalies indicates a Magnetite-bearing horizon some
2,900 feet in length* An abrupt change in strike between lines 127S end 128E
probobly indicates a north-south fault with a left-hand offset of about 200 feet*
Between lines 12J?E and 1JJE the zone appears to have a width of about 200 feet*Q-
but a consistent relative drop in intensity in the middle of each profile
across this zone suggests that there may be two bands in this sootion separa
ted byi at most, 75 feet of barren materiel. x
4* On sheet KB 100 Southwest an cnomaly zone with a peak value of
52,700 gasoes trends in a southwesterly direction for some 2,400 feet between
lines 18S end 2W. The bend appears to be only e few feet in width ct the
east end but widens tovmrd the west reaching a possible 1^0 feet on line 2W.
Obviously it continues into the adjoining claims*
The only other occurrence of possible economic Interest in this
area lies almost entirely within claias S97103* 9710P and 97110 which ere not
held by Kukatush (Sheet KH 200 East}* This was indicated by readings on
paced traverses at wide spacing* The band bowins on line 1^6S about 600 feet
south of the east end of the horizon deecribod above end continues eastward
LOW AND MORROW
for at lea e t 5,200 feet with apparent widths up to about 100 feet. The
enooaly does not appear on line 2123 eo the band roust pinch out probably
in claim S ?8l63.
In addition to the important deposit B described above there ere
indications of several minor magnetite lenses of limited extent as shown
en the a o company ing nape. The most isportant of theoe is the irregularly
shaped anomaly in claim 3 10^712 (SR 200 Middle) which hae a peak; value of
86,000 gaums. Pyrrhotite and pyrite are reported to occur here but it 10
quite obvioue that the anomaly is due to magnetite. A prospect shaft hae
been sunk on the edge of the anomaly but sulphide-bearing material carried
no values in base-aotals and only an insignificant amount of gold according
to Mr. H* S , Gereon.
COSCLUSICWS AHD
Detailed magnetic surveying of the Hat River Group has defined
the extent and configuration of the occurrences of monetite* Five tones
of appreciable size are indicated along with several saalic* occurrences of4
no economic importance* Although the bands are relatively narrow, it is obvious
that an appreciable tonnage of magnetite is present which could prove to be
a valuable future reserve for the Eadio Hill deposit.
The following groups of claims should be retained and future work1 i t
concentrated on the isagnetite occurrences presenti
Qroup It 8 10-34J6, 1054J7, 108458 (Sheet 3R 100 Southwest)
It reasonable option torus are available on the claia group to the
west, the taagnotite bend should be traced for its full length and the neces
sary cl&iaa acquired provided magnetic results encourage,

work should be done on 5 97108, 97109, 93163 to troce out the uagnetito band

A total of 4,120 feet of diamond drilling is proposed to give
120 days or 2 yeers assessment credit on each of the claims listed above plus
160 days or 4 years credit on the extra claim to be staked north of S 1084^2*
This work should te divided between the four claira groups as follower

Group 2, 1,480 feet
Group J, i,440 faet
Croup 4, 840 feet
Holes should bo drilled at -4^ north to south or northwest to
