ABSTRACT

This report describes the geology and mineral occurrences

on the claims staked by Newmont Exploration of Canada Ltd. in

Burrows Township, Ontario. The area is located in NTS area

41P/14 or roughly 47O47'N latitude and 81O25'W longitude or UTM

grid 5292000 m North and 471000 m East.

All rocks are of Early Precambrian age with the possible

exception of some diabase dikes. The bulk of the metavolcanic

rocks are iron and magnesium tholeiite basalts with a number

of thin basaltic komatiitic units. Intermediate and felsic

metavolcanic rocks are largely calc-alkaline in composition.

Numerous chemical metasedimentary units occur along the inter

faces between the various metavolcanic flows. These units may

be iron-rich exhalative units composed mostly of magnetite and

chert, and minor pyrite and pyrrhotite, however, there are

several massive pyrite pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite and

sphalerite units found either in outcrop or from diamond drilling.

Economic mineralization will be associated with these rocks, if such

indeed exists in the area.

Intrusive rocks range from gabbro to aplite and occur

as dikes plugs and batholithic complexes.

A major northeast trending synclinal trough is the major

structural feature influencing the minor structural complexities

in the area. The batholith to the west and those further east

have exerted forces causing refolding and warping of the

viii

metavolcfanic sequence.

Regional metamorphism is middle greenschist to lower

almandine-amphibolite facies with contact metamorphism near the

Togo Batholith of albite-epidote-hornfels facies.

No major mines are located in the area and those of the

Shining Tree area to the south have been small, however, the

rock units are representative of both the Kirkland Lake and

Timmins areas which are major gold producers.

INTRODUCTION

HISTORY

The purpose of this report is to describe in detail the

assessment work performed on the Burrows Township property,

Project 285.

Previous information submitted for assessment work credit

29 January 1982 on the original Sirola-Karvinen option is

included for the sake of continuity. The original Sirola-

Karvinen claim groups were designated the East Claim Group

covering eight claims, numbered L. 550160, 550162 through

550168 inclusive. Work on Newmont claim L. 628518 was

submitted with that report to round out the group. The West

Claim Group covered sixteen claims, numbered L. 547207

through L. 547222 inclusive.

In order to tie the two claim groups together in one

contiguous block and to cover the favorable aeromagnetic

horizon Newmont staked a further one hundred eighteen (118)

claims between 27 July 1981 and 20 July 1982 in Burrows and

Kemp Townships. These latter claims will be the primary

subject of this report.

The claims will be illustrated on three overlapping map

sheets at a scale of 1:5000 metric. The grids over which the

survey was conducted were cut by personnel of Henry T. Gonzalez

Exploration Services Ltd. at 100 meter spacings with pickets

at 25 meter intervals.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

Figure l is a key map showing the relative location of

Burrows Township to Timmins, Gogama and Shiningtree at a scale

of l inch to 50 miles. Burrows Township is roughly 80 kilo

meters south of Timmins and 144 kilometers north of Sudbury.

Burrows Township can be reached from Timmins or Sudbury by

travelling on highway 144 to highway 560 and east about 70

kilometers to the Grassy Lake road. The Grassy Lake road will

reach the Kemp-Burrows township boundary at the north end of Marne

Lake roughly 31 kilometers from highway 560. Travelling south on Pine

Street from Timmins, Burrows Township is roughly 60 kilometers

distant although portions of the road are not well maintained.

Figure 2 is a Burrows Township claim location map showing

the two original claim blocks contained in the Sirola-Karvinen

option agreement, designated East Group and West Group. Also

shown are the claim blocks which are the three contiguous claim

groups submitted for assessment credit in this report and

designated East Group, North Group and South Group in order to

conform with the map sheets.

All claim blocks may be reached by motor vehicle from the

main Grassy Lake road which bisects the property and enters

Cabot Township south of Burrows Township.

Several roads and drivable trails lead to nearly every

claim. Mouse Lake, Little Marne Lake and Marne Lake can be

serviced by float equipped aircraft in the summer and ski

equipped aircraft in the winter. During the winter, snowmobiles

may be used to reach the claims either from highway 560 or from

the Mattagami Indian Reserve No. 71 which is roughly 4 kilometers

west of the western boundary of Burrows Township.

PHYSIOGRAPHY

The area is low to moderate in relief, generally less than

30m. The sharpest relief is where eskers and sand dunes are

encountered with 60m being the largest local variation.

The low areas are filled with proglacial lacustrine clay

and silt covered with organically derived muskeg.

The areas of more moderate relief are covered with glacial

till and outwash sand. Before the area had become stabilized

by vegetation prevailing winds had created burchan dunes with

cuspa toward the wind direction. These "dunes are confined to

the eastern portion of the project area.

Glacial till was encountered just above the bedrock

surface. This till sheet most probably covers the entire area,

however, where overburden is in excess of 5 meters, the presence

or absence of glacial till could not be ascertained with

certainty because of the limit of reach of the backhoe was 5

meters.

Several eskers traversed the property in a north-south

direction notably along the east shore of Mouse Lake and down

the main road east of Ottereyes, Zurloff and Kuitosse Lakes.

Drainage is to the north from Mouse Lake to Burrows Creek

and west to Mattagami Lake for the western one half of the area.

Drainage for the eastern one half of the area is from Little

Marne Lake to Marne Lake to Upper Grassy Lake thence north to

Sinclair Lake and to the Mattagami River. The Mattagami River

eventually joins the Moose River which flows into the south end

of James Bay.

NATURAL RESOURCES

The project area is forest covered, Jackpine with some red

and white pine grow on the sandy portions. Poplar, birch,

spruce and lesser amounts of pine and alders cover the till and

outwash areas. Swamp and muskeg covered areas support alders,

spruce, balsam, tamarack and cedar. Blueberries, Labrador tea

and numerous grasses, ferns and wildflowers are common throughout

the project area.

Timber operations have been active in the past and the

area was last burned over some twenty years ago. Much of the

sand covered area has been the subject of a reforestation effort

by the Ministry of Natural Resources and harvesting could begin

in the next ten to fifteen years.

WILDLIFEV

*

Moose, bear, wolf, fox and lynx were sighted on occassion

as were beaver, weasel, ground hog, muskrat, racoon and skunk.

Bald eagles, ospreys, red tail hawks, owls, raven; crows,

whiskey jacks, robins, sparrows, swallows, slickers, black birds,

mallard ducks, pin tail ducks, teal, Canadian geese, and spruce

and ruffed grouse were observed. The area is prime grouse,

moose and bear hunting country with many hunters converging

there during the spring and fall hunting seasons. Several s

trappers are active in the area during the trapping season.

The lakes contain northern pike and pickerel and the streams

are often inhabited by trout providing fishermen with plenty

of easily accessible fishing sites.

PREVIOUS WORK

Early government sponsored work was conducted by

T.L. Gledhill (1926) during a reconnaissance of the Grassy

River. At various times parts of the surrounding area "have been

mapped or otherwise investigated by government geologists,

however, Burrows and Kemp Townships have not been the subjects

of any in-depth study. Beginning in 1973 and again in 1976 a

summary of assessment work for Burrows Township was made and

published by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Data

Series Map P.1218, Lovell et al (1977). Burrows and Kemp

Townships were covered in the regional compilation published

as the Timmins-Kirkland Lake Sheet, Map 2205 by Pyke et al

(1973) .

The following paragraphs summarize work performed on

or near the claims for which this report is submitted for

assessment work. Figure 3 is a Data Location Map showing the

locations of the claim blocks over which assessment work has

previously been filed. Table l shows the company name, type

of work and the year that work was performed. This work is

on file at the office of the Resident Geologist, Kirkland

Lake, Ontario and at the Assessment File Records Office, 77

Grenville St., Toronto, Ontario.

AMAX POTASH, INC.

In 1971 Amax Potash staked 4 claims west of little Marne

Lake over ground covered by the northwest portion of the East

Group.

Ground magnetometer and vertical loop electromagnetic

surveys were conducted in 1971 and 1972. In 1972 geologic

mapping and soil geochemistry programs were conducted. Mafic

and felsic to intermediate metavolcanics were encountered cut

by diabase and syenite dikes. Good correlation between copper,

lead and zinc was achieved with the soil geochemistry survey.

The topsoil indicated better correlation than the subsoil,

possibly because higher values were obtained in the topsoil

portion than in the subsoil portion.

Several small gossan zones that outcrop in the area may be

the cause of the above background values.

One diamond drill hole was drilled to a depth of 375 feet

to test the VEM conductor thought to be associated with the

geochem anomaly across the northern portion of the claim group.

This hole intersected a dacite fragmental to tuffaceous unit

with a graphitic zone grading into graphitic argillite then

to argillite. This would indicate tops are oriented to the

north. The rocks are cut by felsic and lamprophyre dikes.

Drill core assays indicated: Cu ranged from 62 to 256 ppm,

Zn ranged from 109 to 1,260 ppm and Ag ranged from 0.7 to 2.6

ppm. All assay values were in the graphitic argillite.

CANEX AERIAL EXPLORATION LIMITED

In J.9-71 B.D. Sirola staked roughly the same ground as the

McKay property. Canex Aerial Exploration Ltd. optioned the

property and conducted a ground magnetometer survey over it.

The objective of this survey was to delineate any ultramafic

metavolcanics or intrusives that may have been associated with

the iron formation and examine those rocks for gold. No ultra

mafic rocks were found or at least not recognized in outcrop

and their interpretation of -magnetic data lead Canex to feel

that any possible ultramafic Bodies were too narrow to be of

economic interest.

DOMINION GULF COMPANY

In 1951 Dominion Gulf Company optioned 9 claims from

O.E. Winters and attempted by diamond drilling to find the source

of the rusty iron formation float found near the northern

boundary of claim L.517209 and the southern boundary of claim

L.547212 of the West Group. One grab sample they took is

reported to have assayed 2.85 02. Au/ton. Four holes were

drilled by Heath K Sherwood numbered l through 4 to depths of

645, 506, 205 and 172 feet respectively. Hole locations are

plotted on the accompanying geology map."

Rock types encountered were:

Amphibolitized mafic metavolcanics with or without garnets.

Siliceous gneiss or felsic metavolcanic-welded tuff.

Talc-chlorite-carbonate schist, possibly a carbonitized

ultramafic zone.

Banded iron formation mainly oxide facies but sulfides

were noted as was chlorite.

Syenite, feldspar porphyry, lamprophyre, and diabase dikes.

No assays were reported in the logs filed for assessment

credit.

DOWA MINING COMPANY LIMITED

- In 1974 D.F. Des Rosiers staked 16 claims south of Mouse

Lake S west of Hook Lake under Dowa Mining Company Ltd. Watts

Griffis and McOuat Ltd. conducted ground magnetometer and

vertical loop electromagnetic surveys over 6 of the claims.

Several east trending conductors were delineated and two holes

were drilled by Morissette Diamond Drilling Ltd. to a depth

of 92 and 207 feet respectively. The exploration target was

massive sulfides. Drilling intersected dacitic tuffaceous \

rock, schistose with disseminated pyrite from roughly 20 feet

to 40 feet followed by a unit of banded gneissic rhyolite with

disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite, minor andesite and some

chloritic and carbonate alteration. The author interprets

this unit to be an exhalative unit about 15 feet thick over

lying an iron formation approximately 15 feet thick. This iron

formation may best be described as magnetitic chert interlayered

with magnetite ironstone with l to 10% pyrite, pyrrhotite and

chalcopyrite. Beneath this unit is a dark green amphibolite,

most probably a mafic metavolcanic unit. Hole one terminated

in this unit while hole 1A passes through this unit and termi

nates in a medium grained gabbro.

HOLLINGER MINES LIMITED

In 1975 Hollinger Mines Ltd. compiled previous data on the

area just east of Mouse Lake, now the West Group and drilled

four diamond drill holes on what are now claims L.547209,

L.547211, L.547212 and L.547217. Three of the diamond drill

holes, BU1-2-75, BUl-3-75 and BUl-4-75, were drilled to test

the extent of the several iron formation outcroppings some l 000

feet east of Mouse Lake ana gQO to 700 feet north of the stream

that empties Hook Lake into Mouse Lake. One diamond drill hole

BU1-1-75 was drilled to test the conductor north of the iron

formation outcroppings. This conductor does not outcrop. The

conductor proved to be a silica-rich, graphitic iron formation.

Assay values for gold were nil. Two graphitic tuff zones with

pyrite roughly 10 feet thick were not assayed. One of two

carbon!tized anderite zones was assayed with results nil in gold.

Other iron formation intersections in the latter three

drill holes did not carry anomalous gold values.

D. MCKAY - PICKANDS MATHER OPTION

In 1960 Pickands Mather and Company optioned the McKay

property south of the Nest Group to assess the iron formation

there for economic potential.

A magnetometer survey was conducted and profiles made.

A geological survey delineated an iron formation 600 feet wide

and 2,000 feet long. Calculations indicated 109,000 tons/

vertical foot or some 12 to 17 million tons of crude ore.

Three diamond drill holes were drilled, DH-1, 2 and 3 tos

depths of 231, 262 and 509 feet. No assays were indicated in

the logs submitted for assessment work, but the company assumed

a 30* Fe content for their grade calculations and felt the

deposit was too small to be of economic import.

PAYMASTER CONSOLIDATED MINES LIMITED

In 1957 Paymaster Consolidated Mines Ltd. staked 53 claims

in Burrows and Kemp Townships centered around Little Marne Lake

over ground now covered by the East Group of claims. Paymaster

had Aerophysics of Canada Ltd. perform an airborne electromagne

tic survey over the property and 3 conductors were delineated

over the central and southern portions of Little Marne Lake.

Ground follow up work was initiated with a brief dip needle

survey followed by a ground magnetometer survey of the whole

property by Sharpe Geophysical Surveys Ctd. Magnetic anomalies

were checked by EM methods. The best correlation between

magnetic and EM data was noted along the north shore of Little

Marne Lake.

The area was geologically mapped and a series of ultramafic,

mafic and intermediate flows along with some associated intrusive

rocks were found. Mafic spherulitic and pillow lavas were noted

as was intermediate agglomerate or flow breccia.

The chicken track lava described in the report and attribu

ted to alteration is actually spinifex texture of the middle to

upper portion of an ultramafic metavolcanic flow. This was

confirmed by the author upon examination of the Paymaster drill

core found at the drill site on Little Marne Lake. Gray (ankerite)

and green (fuchsite) carbonitized ultramafic units outcrop and

were intersected in diamond drill holes.

Tfrree diamond drill were drilled numbered B-l through B-3x

to depths of 698,995 and 545 feet respectively. Most assay values

were trace only with some 0.01 and 0.02 and a lone 0.11 oz Au/ton

value being recorded. Tops are indicated to be south by spinifex

and altered zone positions* however, this is not definite. The

hole locations are plotted on the geology map accompanying this

report.

PROSPECTORS AIRWAYS COMPANY LIMITED

In 1962 Prospectors Airways Co. Ltd. staked two blocks of

claims centered around Camp Lake and conducted a ground magneto

meter and JEM electromagnetic survey over the property. The JEM

survey delineated three short discontinuous conductors along the

southwest shore of Camp Lake.

These conductors did not appear to be of sufficient interest

to warrant follow-up by diamond drilling and the claims were

allowed to lapse.

Newmont's own ground electromagnetic surveys in this general

vicinity also delineated several similar conductors. These could

be caused by lake bottom edge effect or by small interflow

conductive units. Possibly a horizontal loop multifrequency

survey over them could provide a better qualitative classification.

SIROLA-KARVINEN

The Sirola-Karvinen claim group, which is now the West Group

described in this report, was the subject of a preliminary asses

sment -.by W.O. Karvinen in 1980. This work consisted of geological

mapping of claims L.547209 through L.547212 inclusive, detailed

overburden investigations, trenching and overburden blasting

to locate the source of the rusty float along the north boundary

of claim L.547210. This mechanical work was spread over several

claims. This search was unsuccessful due to limited manpower

s

and funds so the property was optioned to Newmont for a more

detailed assessment.

SIROLA-KARVINEN (NEWMONT OPTION)

The Sirola-Karvinen claim groups L,547207 through L.547222

inclusive (West Group) and L.550160, L.550162 through L.550168

inclusive and Newmont's claim L.628518 (East Group) were taken

under option by Newmont Exploration of Canada Ltd. in late 1981.

With Newmont's joint venture partner, Dupont of Canada

Exploration Ltd. as a financial participant, Newmont undertook

a preliminary examination of these claims with some overlap

onto surrounding claims subsequently staked by Newmont to cover

the aeromagnetic anomalies in Burrows and Kemp Townships. This

work consisted of line cutting, a geological survey, a ground

magnetometer and VLF EM survey and an overburden till sampling

heavy media separation geochemical survey. All this work was

submitted for assessment credit.

In addition to this work, an induced polarization survey,

a resistivity survey and a horizontal loop MAX MlN survey were

instituted. These surveys were continued on other Newmont claims

during the winter months and during the summer of 1982. These

later results are the subject of the present report.

The results of the first pass survey delineated magnetic

and EM anomalies worth further detailed work by more sophisticated

geophysical methods. Several anomalies extended to adjoining

claims and these were recommended for follow-up geophysics.

Diamond drill targets were also delineated and three (3)

holes were drilled on the West Group and two (2) holes were

drilled on the East Group. The purpose of the drilling on the

West Group was to assist in unravelling the complex stratigraphy

in that area as well as to test the several geophysical anomalies.

For the East Group, the geology was thought to be somewhat more

straight forward and the anomalies were less complicated so the

drilling in that area was more to test the anomalies than for

geological information. The previously unknown contact between

mafic and ultramafic metavolcanic flows was located by the diamond

drilling program. The results of this diamond drill program

will be submitted for assessment credit^

GENERAL GEOLOGY

The bedrock in the area is of Early Precambrian (Archean)

age. Unconsolidated deposits of Pleistocene and Recent age

mantle most of the area. Outcrop coverage is less than it of

the area, therefore, geophysical, geochemical and diamond drill

hole data was most important in the geological interpretation

seen in Figure 4.

Ultramafic metavolcanic rocks of peridotitic to basaltic

komatiitic composition and pillowed to massive mafic metavolcanics

of magnesium-rieh to iron-rich tholeiitic composition are the

oldest rocks in the area. The ultramafic metavolcanics are best

developed on the East Group of claims and are present as a

series of flows ranging in thickness from just over l meter to

about 10 meters. The komatiitic package probably does not

exceed 500 meters in total thickness. The mafic units are

thicker. Individual flows could not be delineated with precision,

however, massive to pillowed units were noted as were pyroclastic

units. Some of the thicker flows were medium grained (1-3 mm

crystals) but exhibited flow texture in outcrop. Sills and dikes

of gabbro and lamprophyre were often found associated with these

flows and in some cases could have been feeders from a central

magma chamber. These units are on the order of 500 to over 1000

meters thick and comprise roughly 60 to 70% of the total rock

noted. Carbonitization of some of these rocks has no doubt

caused previous workers to classify them into a more felsic

category due to the lighter color resulting from such alteration.

Total rock analysis and Jensen and AFM plots provide a sound

basis for proper classification. Calc-alkaline basalts were noted

in several small outcrops and are thought to form a unit between

mafic metavolcanic flows and intermediate pyroclastics.

Intermediate tuffs, lapilli tuffs and volcanic breccias

form a transition phase between the mafic and felsic metavolcanic

units and are tholeiitic to calc-alkaline in composition.

Felsic metavolcanic flows, tuffs, lapilli tuffs and volcanic

breccia were noted and were especially common in the South Group

area. Porphyritic dikes possibly represent feeders from a central

magma chamber. They are calc-alkaline in composition.

Clastic metasedimentary rocks are not common and were noted

in outcrop only south of Ottereyes Lake. This was an argillaceous

unit. Diamond drill data by Amax (1972) and Newmont (1982)

reported carbonaceous argillite, argillite and arenite to pebble

conglomerate from drill holes south of Little Marne Lake. These

metasediments appear to be related to felsic to intermediate

volcanism notably the exhalative phases of such volcanism.

Chemical metasedimentary rocks are generally exhalative in

origin and are represented by oxide-rich banded magnetitic chert

interbedded with magnetite ironstones and pyrite-pyrrhotite rich

phases of these oxide facies units and at least two chert-

sulfide units, one found in outcrop and one noted by diamond

drilling Dowa (1974). These sulfide units were easily traced

by electromagnetic devices.

A large granodiorite batholith borders the western portion

Page 39: RPT ON GEOL SUR ON THE SIROLA-KARVINEN OPTION AND …€¦ · Bald eagles, ospreys, red tail hawks, owls, raven; crows, whiskey jacks, robins, sparrows, swallows, slickers, black

of the area and makes itself known by extensive albitization,

epidotization and amphibolitization of the metavolcanic rocks in

that area. A similar intrusive plug was noted southwest of

Karvinen Lake intruding the mafic and felsic metavolcanic

series. Some smaller syenitic outcrops were also noted and could

be part of a larger syenite plug.

Diabase dikes traverse the area and are diabase, quartz

diabase and porphyritic (Matachewan) diabase types. All have

been classified as Early Precambrian in age, however, some may

be younger.

Most of the rocks of the area are part of a steeply dipping

synclinal structure, the axis of which trends northeast across

the western part of the area then swings southeast across the

north and east parts of the area.

Regional metamorphism of the rocks is greenschist to lower

amphibolite facies with some rocks near the Togo Batholith

subjected to contact metamorphism of lower to middle amphibolite

facies.

EARLY PRECAMBRIAN (ARCHEAN) METAVOLCANIC ROCKS

The metavolcanic sequence in Burrows Township may be

subdivided into three rock series on the basis of geochemistry:

(1) komatiite, (2) tholeiite and (3) calc-alkaline. The

methods for doing this are based on calculations for ternary

diagrams obtained from total rock geochemical analysis. Two

ternary plots were used for chemical classification: (1) the

Jensen Cation plot (Jensen, 1976) using A1-0-, Fe.O -f Ti00 , MgOifc .5 t* .3 4*

and (2) the AFM diagram, .(Irving and Barager, 1971) using

Na2O + K O, Fed (total), MgO. Of these, the Jensen Cation

plot was most useful in discriminating rocks in the komatiitic

series from those in the iron and magnesium tholeiitic suite

and further differentiates those of the calc-alkaline suite.

Further discussions involving methodology and the plots

themselves, Figures 11 and 12, including calculations, may be

found in the section on geochemistry.

KOMATIITIC METAVOLCANIC ROCKS

The term 'komatiite 1 has been introduced from South

African Literature to describe rocks in and around the

Barberton Mountain area, particularly within the Swaziland

sequence.

In general, rocks of a komatiitic affinity have Ca/Al

rations <l, a low TiO- content (<0.9%) and a lower Fe/Mg

ratio compared to Al ?0. than for rocks of tholeiitic or

calc-alkaline affinities.

- 35 -

PERIDOTITIC KOMATIITES

No rocks analyzed fell into the peridotitic komatiite

category on the Jensen Cation plot, however, four .did on the

AFM diagram. This does not mean that the rock-type is missing

from the area, only that it was not analyzed for. If they do

exist, it is not likely in excess of 5% of the total rock units.

Spinifex texture was noted in sample 9136. The outcrop was

sheared and on the fresh surface, the rock was dusky blue to

dusky blue green, which is indicative of the komatiite rocks

in general. The rock weathers greenish gray to moderate brown.

Rock colors used in this report are standardized by the use of

the Rook Color Chart published by the Geological Society of

America, Goddard et al (1948). Samples 9756, 9760 and 9763 were

from diamond drill holes B-82-2, B-82-6 and B-82-1, respectively.

In each case, the rock was badly broken along foliation planes

and was a talc-chlorite-carbonate rock greenish gray to dark

greenish gray in color.

Sample 9136 was obviously a flow, however, and it is likely

the units encountered in diamond drilling were also flows as

very few komatiitic tuffaceous units have ever been reported.

The flows encountered in diamond drilling range from 0.7 to 4

meters.thick.

In thin section, alteration of pyroxenes to serpentine,

tremolite and chlorite has taken place. Iron-titanium oxides

occurred as fine dustings along interblade areas. No relic

olivine was noted. Carbonate content ranged from 10 to 40*,

however, most of the time it was in the 5 to 15% range. CO,

vaules ranged from 0.2 to T.5%.

BASALTIC KOMATIITES

Basaltic komatiites were better established chemically than

the peridotitic variety. They were noted as flows/ some pillowed

and some in the classical flow sequence, peridotite-spinifex-

polysutured, described by Pyke et al (1973), Figure 5. Individ

ual flows, 2 to 4 meters thick, were easily noted in outcrop

on line 36 east between 50 and 75 north and to a lesser degree

on line 44 east at 75 south.

Some gabbroic sills were noted within the sequence and whens

analyzed either fell into the basaltic komatiite or magnesium

tholeiite categories. These units are thought to be the

peridotitic part of the flow, however, they are shown as gabbro,

subscripted basaltic komatiite on the geological map in order

to indicate structural trends.

The rocks were grayish blue green weathering light to

moderate brown.

The rocks were altered largely to tremolite in felted

masses and carbonate and chlorite commonly associated with the

alteration. Skeleton pyroxene and olivine are present as

serpentine or antigorite. Iron-titanium oxides occur as fine

dustings along spinifex blades and randomly as idiomorphic

crystals in the coarser grained units. Plagioclase (lS-20%)

was noted in one sample.

Basaltic komatiites make up about 5 to 10* of the rock

types on the claim group.

CARBONITIZATION

The komatiitic rocks were largely altered to carbonate

minerals. No attempt, other than visual, was made to differen

tiate carbonate types. This carbonitization does not destroy

the primary textures. An outcrop of green carbonate (fuchsite

rich) was noted on the point, on line 59 east, at about 800

south. From this location, Paymaster (1957) drilled two diamond

drill holes and intersected what they called gray (ankerite)

carbonate and green (fuchsite) carbonate with massive (perido-s

titic and ploysutured) and chicken track (spinifex) textures.

Some of this drill core was found on location and the primary

structures were indeed preserved.

CO~ values range from <0.1% to 7.5%, demonstrating consi

derable variation in carbonate alteration. Observed carbonate

in thin section ranges from <l% to 40%.

MAFIC METAVOLCANIC ROCKS (THOLEIITIC AND CALC-ALKALINE) MAGNESIUM THOLEIITES

Tholeiitic metavolcanic rocks are subdivided into two

groups: (1) magnesium-rich tholeiites and (2) iron-rich

tholeiites.

Magnesium tholeiite rocks were quite wide-spread, making

up 2(^ of the rock types mapped. They occur as massive or

pillowed flows ranging in from under 100 to 150 meters thick.

These rocks are often nearby or in contact with komatiitic

rocks which aids in differentiating them in the field from

calc-alkaline basalts and andesites. The exception in this

area is in the South Group where no komatiitic rocks were

noted, yet a magnesium tholeiite basalt flow was mapped.

Rock color of magnesium tholeiites is generally similar to

calc-alkaline basalts and andesites which are usually a light

greenish gray. Again in the South Group, the magnesium

tholeiites were dusky blue green to dark greenish gray to

greenish black, colors generally associated with iron

tholeiites.

Most of these rocks are aphanitic, except for thicker

flow portions which are medium grained. Mafic minerals,

tremolite-actinolite (SO-60%), hornblende (S-10%) and chlorite

make a color index over 35 and feldspars (30 to 40%) with

quartz and accessory apatite, sphene, sulfides and iron-

titanium oxides making up the balance. -Hardness is 4 to 5.

IRON THOLEIITES

Iron tholeiite basalts are the most wide-spread metavol-

canic rock in the area, comprising at least 501. of the rock

units.

The rocks are aphanitic in massive to pillowed flows up

to 150 meters thick and are medium grained in the coarser flow

portions. They are dark greenish gray to greenish black and

weather greenish gray to moderate brown. Hardness is generally

4 to 5.s

Amphibole/ usually green and brown hornblende is the

dominant mafic mineral ranging from 10 to over 30t. Tremolite

may range from 15 to 20%. Most plagioclase has been

saussaritized so determination of An content is not reliable.

Quartz may be present up to 1(H (usually <5%) and may be

secondary along with secondary albite and epidote. Iron-

titanium oxides, partially altered to leucoxene range from

3 to 5t. Some garnitiferous zones were noted in diamond

drill core, Hollinger (1975), Dominion Gulf (1951) and

Newmont (1982) . This drilling was done near the Togo

Batholith and the garnets and associated coarse amphibole

could be the result of contact metamorphism of almandine-

amphibolite facies grade.

CALC-ALKALINE BASALTS

Calc-alkaline basalts were noted in several locations as

aphanitic massive, tuffaceous, porphyritic and pillowed units.

Pillows are not well developed and not reliable.as top

determinations. These units are difficult to separate from

andesitic and dacitic end members in the field as the color

and hardness of all are so similar. Color is grayish green,

greenish gray to medium light bluish gray.

The calc-alkaline basalts and andesites are usually

prophyritic with hypidiomorphic twinned plagioclase 0.2 to

0.3 mm of An up to 35 to 40% by volume. The pheno-

crysts are set in a fine-grained matrix of xenomorphic

plagioclase, chlorite, actinolite, quartz, iron-titanium

oxides, sulfides and accessory zircon and apitite. Alteration

products, sericite, epidote and calcite are present as well.

INTERMEDIATE METAVOLCANIC ROCKS (THOLEIITIC AND CALC-ALKALINE)

For the most part, the intermediate metavolcanic rocks

are lapilli tuffs with tuffs and volcanic breccia less common.

Some may have carbonate vesicles and fillings. The rocks may

have a tholeiitic or calc-alkaline affinity and several ride

the line on the Jensen Cation plot. These rocks make up

roughly 5% of the rock types and may be up to 250 meters thick

and may be transitional into overlying felsic metavolcanic

units.

The rocks are medium to dark gray to grayish green, with

hardness 5 to 6 and color index 5 to 6, <35> 15. The green

color may be due to chloritic replacement of crushed pumice.

The rock is often porphyritic with plagioclase laths 0.3 to

l mm up to 10%. Quartz phenocrysts may be 10 to 15%. These

phenocrysts are set in a fine matrix of plagioclase, 30 to 40%,

quartz, 10 to 15*, hornblende 10 to 15% and biotite 5 to 10*fc.

Tremolite and sericite along with iron-titanium oxides,

sulfides, chlorite and carbonate comprise the balance of the

rock mineralogy. An outcrop of garnitiferous intermediate

lapilli tuff (tholeiitic dacite) was noted on line 4 west at

1550 south.

FELSIC METAVOLCANIC ROCKS (CALC-ALKALINE)

Felsic metavolcanic rocks occur as crystal tuff and

lapilli tuff units of rhyolitic composition. They comprise

approximately 15% of the rock types in the area. The rocks

are porphyritic with phenocrysts of quartz and/or potassium

feldspar to l mm comprising up to 20* of the rock. These

phenocrysts are set up in an aphanitic matrix of quartz,

potassium and sodic feldspar. Pumice has been altered or

replaced by chlorite, biotite and sericite. Color of these

rocks is medium to dark gray to yellowish grey to gray olive.

The degree of yellowishness is a factor of percent sericite

composition. Sulfides are common and increase with hydro

thermal alteration as does carbonate. Feldspars exhibit

sericitic and kaolinitic alteration. Hardness is greater

than 6.

These rocks appear to be associated with late stage

volcanism and may be associated with exhalative units.

Layering was not observed, however. Where lapilli and breccia

units were observed, the fragments were monolithic and frag

ment size differed greatly with distribution in any one

outcrop. This is suggestive of an explosive eruption rather

than a quite extrusion of lava.

METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS CLASTIC METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS

Only one outcrop of clastic metasedimentary rock was found

on the claim group. South of Ottereyes Lake, an outcrop of

argillite is cut by a diabase dike. This unit was contorted,

possibly from the intrusion of the dike, and the general trend

could only be estimated. The rock was grayish green and

weathered grayish orange pink to moderate brown. No other

rock was found in contact with this unit and no other exposures

were noted so the area allotted to this unit was left small.

Another similar but more arenaceous metasedimentary outcrop

was noted at the north end of Marne Lake off the claim group.

Other workers, Pyke et al (1973) have classified this unit as

a member of the Cobalt Group of Late Precambrian age.

Diamond drilling by Amax Potash, Inc. (1972), west of

Little Marne Lake, encountered graphitic argillite and

argillite. Diamond drilling by Newmont (1982), south of Little

Marne Lake, encountered a similar unit and also a peeble

conglomerate. These units were closely related to an interme

diate tuffaceous unit and a graphitic horizon. The exact

boundary between these clastic units and the associated

graphitic-pyritic exhalative unit is not clear cut.

CHEMICAL METASEDIMENTARY ROCKS

The Ontario Geological Survey is now using the term

ironstone in place of the older conventional iron

for the banded oxide, sulfide and carbonate exhalative units

and replacement sulfide inhalative units in an attempt to

conform with the American Commission on Stratigraphic

Nomenclature, Articles 6 and 10, American Association of

Petroleum Geologists (1961). The survey would like to reserve

the term iron formation for a mappable geologic, stratigraphic

or lithologic units that can be associated with geographical

names. The term ironstone is reserved for rocks containing

more than 33% common iron minerals by volume. This would

exclude many exhalative chert or silica-rich metasedimentary

rocks and carbonate rocks which should be called what they

are rather than lumped into the general term iron formation

or even worse lean iron formation. The author prefers the

use of iron-rich rocks or iron-rich chemical metasedimentary

rocks. The term facies has also been discarded in preference

to notations indicating the dominance of oxide (magnetite

specularite, hematite, etc.), sulfide (pyrite, pyrrhotite,

etc.) and carbonate (siderite) minerals.

The most common exposures of iron-rich metasedimentary

rocks is on the South Group of claims. Mast have an oxide

mineral affinity although at least two sulfide affinity

iron-rich units were observed either in outcrop or from

Page 55: RPT ON GEOL SUR ON THE SIROLA-KARVINEN OPTION AND …€¦ · Bald eagles, ospreys, red tail hawks, owls, raven; crows, whiskey jacks, robins, sparrows, swallows, slickers, black

- 47 -

diamond drill results. Magnetite with minor specularite is

the dominate iron mineral associated with oxide affinity iron-

rich rocks while pyrite and lesser amounts of pyrrhotite and

minor chalcopyrite and sphalerite are the minerals associated

with the sulfide affinity iron-rich rocks. Siderite was

reported in drilling by Pickands Mather (1962) as veins and

bands. The author recovered.core at drill sites in the bush

and substantiated this report. Some beds of chlorite were

noted as interbeds in the iron-rich rock units. Individual

bands are l to 3 cm thick with beds measured in outcrop from

30 cm to 10 m thick. From diamond drilling, these units have

been reported as thick as 48 meters, Pickands Mather (1962),

although the author believes that a series of iron-rich units

separated by mafic metavolcanic rock were combined to give

such an intersection.

The chert has been recrystallized giving the silica-rich

bands the appearance of quartzite. The massive sulfide iron-

rich units appear as EM conductors and when sufficient

pyrrhotite is present are magnetically anomalous as well.

The oxide affinity iron-rich rocks are magnetically anomalous

in any case and where magnetite content is high enough or

sulfide content sufficient, they also appear as EM conductors.

In diamond drilling by Newmont (1982) several inhalative

pyrite and pyrite-pyrrhotite zones on the order of 10 to 30 cm

were encountered. These quite possibly are formed by iron

Page 56: RPT ON GEOL SUR ON THE SIROLA-KARVINEN OPTION AND …€¦ · Bald eagles, ospreys, red tail hawks, owls, raven; crows, whiskey jacks, robins, sparrows, swallows, slickers, black

- 48 -

and sulfur-rich solutions and gases percolating through flow

top or bottom breccia or factured zones and precipitating out in

cavities and even replacing the host rock. This process could

have caused the disseminated sulfide zones on either side of

the massive zone where the less broken rock was not so

susceptible to the flow of these fluids. Economic mineraliza

tion was expected in these units, however, sampling and

drilling to date have been disappointing. The overburden

till sampling and heavy media separation program, Newmont

(1982), did define several anomalous gold areas down ice from

the iron-rich rock units including one assay of 756 ppb in a

magnetic fraction.

These iron-rich units are often contorted and may be

even brecciated in places. This phenomena may be caused by

loading of overlying units and/or subsequent tectonic defor

mation .

A graphitic zone with disseminated pyrite was delineated

by EM and induced polarization methods south of Little Marne

Lake. A fault offset of this unit was drilled by Amax (1972).

The major zone was drilled by Newmont (1982) . The Amax

drilling stated the graphitic argillite was hosted in a

dacite fragmental. Total rock analyses by Newmont of drill

core from hole B-82-4 south of Little Marne Lake indicate a

magnesium tholeiite. This unit is brecciated and fractures are

filled with pyrite.

METAMORPHOSED MAFIC INTRUSIVE ROCKS

Metamorphosed mafic intrusive rocks comprise 3 to 5% of

the rocks noted during this survey. They are coarse grained,

3 to 5 mm, greenish black weathering dusky yellowish brown to

brownish black. Plagioclase content is 30 to 4(^ and k-feldspar

may be present up to 5 to 7%. The remaining 50 to 60% is an

amphibole, likely hornblende. Color index is 40 to 60.

In places, this rock is most probably a sill along the

interface between mafic to ultramafic flow units. The rock-\

also could be thicker flow units where cooling of the lava

took place more slowly, thereby allowing for the coarser

grains. Geochemically most of these rocks fell in the magne

sium tholeiite area on the Jensen Cation Plot. Flow texture

in some outcrops is indicative of a flow, however, this could

also be an effect of metamorphism.

Along the boundary of the Togo Batholith, a diorite was

noted. This is likely a hybrid rock type resulting from

digestion of mafic metavolcanics intruded by the granodiorite

batholith.

Within the komatiitic metavolcanic sequence, several sills

or thick flow units were noted. Total rock geochemistry on

selected samples indicated that they are magnesium tholeiite

in composition rather than peridotitic komatiitic as originally

thought.

A samll porphyritic dike magnesium tholeiitic in composition

was noted on Line l west about 1700 south. This dike was

probably a feeder within the mafic metavolcanic sequence.

FELSIC INTRUSIVE ROCKS

The Togo Batholith bounds the claims along the western

boundary of the group. This batholith is granodiorite in

composition with plagioclase 40-50*, K-feldspar 20-25%, quartz

20,25%, with biotite, white mica, Fe-Ti oxides and sulfides

comprising the remainder. The rock is medium to coarse

grained, inequigranular and hypidiomorphic to xenomorphic in

form. Where the batholith is in contact with or close to the

metavolcanic sequence considerable digestion of the metavol-

canic unit has taken place. This has produced an amphibolite

with considerable epidote and albite alteration as a result

of contact metamorphism and hydrothermal activity.

/Several granite quartz feldspar porphyry and syenite

feldspar porphyry dikes were noted throughout the map area.

Some were close to felsic metavolcanic units and could have

been feeder-dikes from a central magma chamber. Aplite dikes

were noted at several locations and several were reported in

diamond drill logs' Paymaster (1957), Amax (1972), Dominion

Gulf (1951) and Hollinger (1975).

An outcrop of pyroxene-rich syenite outcrops west of

Ottereyes Lake. The boundary of this unit has been determined

from the detailed magnetometer survey Newmont conducted over

the property which will be submitted for assessment credit at

a later date.

Felsic intrusive rocks comprise about W of the rocks

found on the claim group.

LATE, MIDDLE AND EARLY PRECAMBRIAN MAFIC INTRUSIVE ROCKS DIABASE, QUARTZ DIABASE AND PORPHYRITIC DIABASE DIKES

Diabase dikes cut all rocks in the area. For the most part

they trend north-south and somewhat west of north-south, however,

a few do trend northwesterly. Due to the lack of exposure in

critical areas, i.e. where the dikes of one type could cut dikes

of another type, and due to their lack of economic interest no

attempt was made to classify them by age group, hence, they were

all labled Early Precambrian for mapping purposes. The fact that

different types were noted does indicate, some age difference

between them, however, A thin section of one dike on Little

Marne Lake, Bowen (1982), indicates micrographic intergrowths

of quartz in a matrix of twinned pyroxene, plagioclase, pyrite

and magnetite. No olivine was noted in that sample or in other

hand specimens. Work by Middleton (1969) and expanded on by

Pyke (1978) attempted to classify the various diabase dikes by

their -trend. Middleton (1969) used remnant magnetism in studies

northwest of Timmins to show that the north-trending dikes have

similar magnetic susceptibilities to Abitibi dikes of Late

Precambrian age. One age date of 2.485 b.y. was reported by

Fahing and Wanless (1963) from a Matachewan (porphyritic) dike

swarm which would put this group in Early Precambrian age. For

an academic study, this area would provide a good set of

specimens for study and assisted by the ground magnetometer survey

conducted by Newmont, proper age classification could be possibly

be made..

The dike rock is grayish green to dusky blue green and

weathers moderate brown. Tension or cooling fractures often

develope perpendicular to dike trend. In some dikes, notably

the larger ones, epidote and albite alteration was noted.

Diabase dikes account for about H of the bedrock in the

map area.

PHANEROZOIC CENOZOIC QUATERNARY PLEISTOCENE AND RECENT

Rock outcrop is less than J.%. Clay, sand gravel, till and

swamp deposits unconformably overlie the Precambrian bedrock.

These deposits are mostly glacial-fluvial and glacial-lacustrine

in nature and cover over 8(^ of the property. The other 2(H

or so is water covered. From diamond drill data, overburden can

be over 20 meters thick. The author estimates bedrock topography

may vary as much as 100 meters with overburden thickness over

80 meters.

Transverse moraines were noted near the South Group of claims

south of Karvinen Lake. The east-central portion of the claim

group is covered by glacial outwash deposits which consist

mostly of sand. This sand was modified by wind action after

the glacial retreat, and before becoming stabilized by vegeta

tion, into barchan dunes up to 20 meters high with cusps

toward the then prevailing wind direction. Bedrock outcrops

were often found on the windward side of the sand dunes which

would indicate that the high rebel of the outcrop acted as a

deflection device to the windborne sand. The deflection of

the wind created wind turbulence causing sand to be deposited

on the lee side of the bedrock protrusion allowing a barchan

dune to develope.

Two major eskers traverse the area from north to south.

- 55 -

One divides the area roughly in -half and provides the natural

ballast supporting the north-south road that bisects the claim

group. This major esker has several sub-eskers and offshoots.

The other esker is a braided esker which forms separate eskers

east and west of Mouse Lake and trends southward in sinuous

pattern into Cabot Township. These eskers terminate in broad

lacustrine deltas and outwash plains.

The rest of the claims, especially where overburden is thin,

are mantled by a thin veneer of basal till in one or more

sheets. Where two till sheets have been noted it is possible

that both are part and parcel of the same till sheet merely

interdigitated by non-till debris.

Glacial striae have a general trend of 165 with local

variations which seem to indicate that glacial ice movement

was fairly constant. Local variations were caused by more

resistant bedrock.

STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

The metavolcanic sequence has been folded into a series of

tight synclines and anticlines about a major synclinal axis.

The most probably cause for this tight folding would be the

upwelling of the felsic batholithic complex to the west. The

heavier komatiitic and mafic metavolcanic rocks would tend to

sink in the lighter felsic magma. This intrusion of magma would

cause warping of the folded sequence thereby causing secondary

folding to develope. When stress became great enough major

strike-slip faults developed such as the Marne Lake and Grassy

River Lineaments to the east, the Blair Lake Lineament in the

center of the group and the Mattagami River Lineaments to the

west. Batholithic complexes to the south and east caused the

folded metavolcanic sequence to become folded a second time into

a broad anticline around a north-south axis south of Little Marne

Lake.

Lineations have developed steeply toward the east/ Figure 6,

indicating some movement. Best estimates of movement are on

the order of 500 meters. No extensive shear or mylonite zones

were noted. Foliation has developed just north of east dipping

predominately steeply to the south, Figures 7, 8 and 9. Foliation

in general parallels bedding except where folding is very tight

and cleavage developes.

The dominant joints pattern is azimuth 20 to 40 dipping

50 to 70 south east while the secondary joint pattern is azimuth

METAMORPHISM

Regional metamorphism is greenschist to almandine-

amphibolite facies and contact metamorphism is albite-epidote-

hornfels facies.

Figure 13 is and ACF-A'FK Diagram with values calculated

from whole rock geochemical data listed on tables 9 and 10.

Diamond drill core on the West Group of claims indicated

garnets (almandine) in the mafic metavolcanic sequence.

Contact metamorphism is noted around the interface or

aureole of the Togo Batholith and the metavolcanic rocks.

Judging from the minerals observed in hand specimen, the

contact metamorphic grade is albite-epidote-hornfels facies

with mineral assemblage:

hornblende + epidote * albite * chlorite - biotite * quartz.

See Figure 13a on page 86.

Regional metamorphism of the metavolcanic rocks is

greenschist to almandine-amphibolite facies of the Barrovian-

type facies series.

For^the greenschist facies the quartz-albite-muscovite-

chlorite subfacies is characteristic with the mineral

assemblage:

Albite * epidote * chlorite * actinolite -f sphene -

stilpnomelane - quartz.

See Figure 13b on page 86.

For the almandine-amphibolite facies the most

characteristic subfacies is the sillimanite-almandine-

orthoclase subfacies. The mineral assemblage for metamorphosed

mafic metavolcanic and intrusive rocks is:

hornblende + plagioclase -t- almandine garnet - quartz.

For ultramafic rocks, the mineral assemblage is:

Anthopyllite, cummingtonite or gedrite -f hornblende * almandine

garnet - plagioclase.

or

Cummingtonite + tremolite

See Figure 13C on page 86.

Normative mineral calculations from whole rock geoche

mical data would greatly assist in metamorphic classification.

GEOCHEMISTRY

Total rock geochemical analyses of 34 rocks were used to

classify stratigraphic units and aid in the geological inter

pretation.

Analyses were done by X-Ray Assay Laboratories of Don

Mills, Ontario. Methods of analyses and detection limites for

X-Ray Assay Laboratories are shown on Table 3. Tables 4, 5,

and 6 tabulate siajor elements, minor elements (Cr0O,, Zr, Srtt 3

and Rb) and trace elements (Au, Ni, Cu, Zn, As and in addition,

CO ) respectively.

From major element data calculations for the Jensen Cation

Plot, AFM, ACF and A'FK diagrams were made, Tables 7 through

10 and the ternary diagrams plotted, Figure 6 through 8.

No gold values were anomalous, i.e.> 100 ppb. Komatiitic

rocks carried M40 ppm Ni and > 1500 ppm Cr O .

All iron tholeiitic intermediate and all calc-alkaline

rocks carried > 100 ppm Zr and > 40 ppm Kb (calc-alkaline basalts

did not exceed 20 ppm Rb). Both magnesia-rich and iron-rich

tholeiitic basalts carry values of Sr >100 ppm while calc-

alkaline rocks carry values of Sr > 180 ppm.

As, Cu and Zn background was l ppm, 40 ppm and 70 ppm

respectively while background for gold*: was 2 ppb.

FIG.' t. (B 1.1) Quartz-atbite-muscovlte-chlorite subfacies of the greenschist fades. The minerals in parentheses can appear only when the mole fraction of CO? in the fluid phase (Jfco J happened to be very small, c.x.. In the metamorphism of carbonate- free basic rocks. In such a case, die dashed tie lines tremolite/actinollte to epidote or to chlorite are valid, Chloritoid or stilpnomelane may be generated only if certain particular chemical conditions are fulfilled. From Fig. 23, although not from Fig. 22, It can be seen that muscovite may appear along with stilpnomelane. Paragonite may also be present. The chemical composition of the chlorite* may vary within the limits shown by the thick line on tba AF side. If die composition of tbe chlorite is different from that shown in die present case, die tie lines to dolomite, calcite, etc., are also shifted correspondingly. This is suggested by die cross hatching across die tie lines.

The most valuable asset of total rock geochemistry was in

the sorting out of stratigraphic units. This is especially

helpful where outcrop is sparce or where chloritization and

other forms of alteration have made many of the rocks similar

in appearance, however, with some experience the color and

hardness techniques proposed by Jensen (1976) to classify

rocks in the field works amazingly well.

Further total rock analyses on a wider scale covering

more rock units especially on the East and North Groups will

further assist in sorting but the structure"'in .that area.

Diamond drill core should be submitted for total rock

analysis as well so units may be correlated both between

drill holes and with outcrops. Gold mineralization is likely

confined to a particular stratigraphic unit and this unit

may be related to or in contact with another unit that can

be easily traced. Total rock geochemistry could assist an

exploration team in locating and tracing economically

favourable horizons.

STRATIGRAPHY

Several workers have attempted to determine a stratigraphic

sequence for the area north of Burrows Township, notably the

Timmins area. Pyke (1978a and b, 1982) determined a strati

graphic sequence for the Timmins area based on chemical data.

In summary, his sequence was based on two volcanic cycles

of three periods, each with a continuous sedimentary process

depositing intervolcanic sedimentary units. The older

sequence was named the Deloro Groip and comprised three

volcanic formations. These were termed: (1) Lower Volcanic

Formation composed of ultramafic rocks engulfed in weakly

foliated diorite centered around the Shaw Dome; (2) Middle

Volcanic Formation composed of calc-alkaline basalts and

andesites with pyroclastics dominating the upper part of the

sequence; and (3) Upper Volcanic Formation composed of calc-

alkaline rhyolitic and dacitic tuff and lapilli-tuffs. The

next younger group was named the Tiedale GfO'Up and again

comprised three volcanic formations. These were termed:

(1) Lower Volcanic Formation consisting largely of peridotitic

and basaltic komatiites at the base and interlayered komatiites

and magnesium tholeiitic basalts in the upper part; (2)

Middle Volcanic Formation consisting of mainly iron tholeiite

basalts; and (3) Upper Volcanic Formation consisting

dominantly of felsic calc-alkaline pyroclastic rocks. Some

overlap between formations does exist.

- 93 -

Stratigraphically, the rock sequences from east to west

are: the Lower Tisdale komatiitic volcanic rocks in and

around Little Marne Lake surrounded by magnesium and iron tholeiitic

basalts of Middle Tisdale with interfingerings calc-alkaline

volcanic rocks west and south of Little Marne Lake; a series

of magnesium and iron tholeiites trend west through Ottereyes Lake

to Mouse Lake and a series of magnesium and iron tholeiites are

bounded to the east and west by Upper Volcanic Formation calc-

alkaline volcanic rocks on the South Group of claims.

The Tisdale Group hosts the major,gold deposits of the

Timmins area.

Figure 14 demonstrates a proposed regional stratigraphy

for the Burrows Township area extended from work done by

Pyke (1982) to the north.

What has become apparent from this study is that the

Tisdale Group, as proposed by Pyke (1982), is indeed present

in Burrows Township. This does not mean that economic gold

deposits definitely exist, but, at least the rocks Are right.

GEOPHYSICS

Initial planning of the claim group to be staked by

Newmont, connecting the East and West Groups, optioned from

the Sirola-Karvinen partnership, was based on the aeromagnetic

data from the Sinclair Lake Aeromagnetic sheet ODM-GSC (1970),

Figure 14. This data indicates an inverted "U" shaped magnetic

high trending northeast from the southwest corner of Burrows

Township to Pond l east of Mouse Lake. The magnetic trend

then turns east then southeast passing into Kemp Township

southeast of Little Marne Lake. A splay trends northeast from

Pond l, then north along the west side of Sinclair Lake. This

is quite likely a gabbro sill. Several major breaks, shown

as magnetic low areas, have also been interpreted from this

data.

The strong aeromagnetic high trending northeast from the

southwest corner of Burrows Township to just south of Pond l

may be attributed to a magnetite-chert iron-rich unit. This

unit or units was traced in outcrop and from diamond drilling

done by Dowa (1974), Pickands Mather (1962), Dominion Gulf

(1951), Hollinger (1975) and Newmont (1982).

The magnetic high trending southeast from Pond l through

Little Marne Lake is caused by several rock units. At Pond l,

the iron-rich units are present and they terminate at the

north-south lineament that bisects the property. A diabase

dike swarm causes the magnetic high east of the above mentioned

major break, while the magnetic high through Little Marne is

caused by a komatiitic metavolcanic sequence.

In order to aid geologic interpretation due to scarce

outcrop coverage, to delineate possible economic targets and

to fulfill assessment work requirements, Newmont decided to

conduct a ground magnetometer survey over the grid cut to

conduct the geological survey. Added resolution was obtained

from this survey which will be submitted for assessment work

credit at a later date. The iron-rich units are several in

number indicating either several disti.nct units, complex

structural deformation or a combination of the two. Being

that several distinct iron-rich rock types were found in

outcrop and by diamond drilling, the author favors the combi

nation reasoning.

The komatiitic sequence near Little Marne Lake was mapped

by the author and boundaries interpreted from the ground

magnetometer survey and diamond drilling by Paymaster (1957).

Diabase dikes were easily outlined magnetically and conformed

well with the geological survey.

Subsequent to the ground magnetometer survey, a VLF

electromagnetic survey was conducted over northeast-southwest

trending lines using transmitting station NAA Cutler, ME.

The northwest-southeast trending lines were surveyed by a

horizontal loop, Max Min II electromagnetic survey with coil

separation of 100 m and for additional detail and depth

Page 108: RPT ON GEOL SUR ON THE SIROLA-KARVINEN OPTION AND …€¦ · Bald eagles, ospreys, red tail hawks, owls, raven; crows, whiskey jacks, robins, sparrows, swallows, slickers, black

penetration 50 m, 150 m and 200 m coil separations. Where dip

angle crossovers on the VLF EM survey had high field strength

correlations, several lines of Max Min EM were conducted over

the anomaly in an attempt to eastablish or rate it quantitatively.

These surveys will be filed for assessment work credit at a

later date. The conductors east of and south of Mouse Lake

were found to be iron sulfide-rich rock types by the geological

survey and from diamond drilling by Dowa (1974), Hollinger

(1975), Dominion Gulf (1951) and Newmont (1982). West of

Ottereyes Lake a conductor was delineated by VLF EM, however,

it was not substantiated by Max Min. Some IP may resolve it.

South of Little Marne Lake, the conductor delineated there

was a graphitic zone with pyrite associated with it. This

was determined from diamond drilling by Amax (1972) and

Newmont (1982). The conductor in the central part of Little

Marne Lake is likely a talc-chlorite zone in the komatiitic

sequence filled with water. Diamond drilling by Paymaster

(1957) passed through such a zone and the location

coincides with the conductor outlined by Newmont's EM survey

by both VLF and Max Min methods.

Selected areas over the conductors were chosen to be

surveyed by induced polarization on time-domain mode and resisti

vity. These surveys were conducted for the purpose of locating

possible disseminated sulfide zones to either side of a

conductive unit, pyrite associated with the graphite unit,

south of Little Marne Lake, was anomalous. Another zone of

high chargeability was within the komatiitic sequence northwest

of Little Marne Lake. Northwest of Bear Lake, a zone of

anomalous chargeability was drilled by Newmont (1982) and

found to be altered pyritized, silicified and epidotized

intermediate (calc-alkaline dacite) metavolcanic rock cut by

a diabase dike. Anomalous gold was not found in this rock.

Geophysical methods provided excellent tools to assist

geological interpretation and to delineate diamond drill

targets. Some more work over selected areas.will be needed

to provide additional detail before more diamond drill targets

are selected.

Water covered areas were picketed and surveyed after

freeze-up so that all possible targets could be delineated and

assessed.

ECONOMIC GEOLOGY

The prime exploration target was gold.

Mineralized zones in outcrop and quartz veins were sampled

and assayed for gold in ppb, copper, zinc and arsenic in ppm.

GOLD

Background gold was 20 ppb, copper 40 ppm, zinc 200 to

300 ppm and arsenic was not generally detected. Table 11 shows

assay values for 46 samples.

Comparing mineralized zones with till, heavy mineral non

magnetic and magnetic fractions, gold is generally anomalous

in the non-magnetic heavy mineral fraction indicating that

the gold mineralization is not exposed and is likely north of

the areas sampled and that gold is not in the magnetic zones,

however, one assay of a magnetic fraction from the South

Group reported 756 ppb. This indicates that the gold is in

either sulfide facies or sulfide carbonate iron-rich rocks

or in mineralized altered host rock, most probably in the

komatiitic sequence. If gold was tied up in quartz it would

likely have been carried off with the quartz in the light

fraction during heavy media separation. Anomalous gold

concentrations and the shape of observed gold particles indi

cate that the gold found in heavy media separation did not

travel too far from its source, probably on the order of

Page 111: RPT ON GEOL SUR ON THE SIROLA-KARVINEN OPTION AND …€¦ · Bald eagles, ospreys, red tail hawks, owls, raven; crows, whiskey jacks, robins, sparrows, swallows, slickers, black

- 101 -

400 to 500 m, however, diamond drilling failed to detect the

source. Diamond drill log summaries are attached.in the

Appendix. Actual logs and assays will be submitted for assess

ment work credit at a later date. Suffice to say that all

iron-rich units, graphitic units and altered (silicified and

pyritized) zones were split, sampled and assayed for Au, As,

Cu and Zn. All sludges were assayed for gold. While results

were disappointing, the geophysical and overburden till sampling

program have delineated other target areas for stripping and

trenching, more detailed geophysics, mainly IP, resistivity

and horizontal loop EM. Should targets be defined, a diamond

drilling program will follow.

COPPER

Copper values are not significantly different regardless

where they came from i.e. till, mineralized zones or quartz

veins or heavy media non-magnetic fraction. A copper deposit

in this area is not likely.

ZINC

Zinc values are significantly higher in mineralized zones

that from till or heavy media non-magnetic fractions. Wiis

would indicate that zinc is not associated with gold. Zinc

- 102 -

minerals (sphalerite) must be fine grained as it was not noted

in hand samples. Zinc should be looked for in ironstones,

especially those that are sulfide-rich.

ARSENIC

Arsenic does not appear to be associated with rocks or

mineralization in this area.

IRON

Exploration by Pickands Mather for Rio Tinto Canex Ltd.

(D. McKay Option) in 1962 of the magnetite-rich ironstone

southeast of Mouse Lake concluded that the deposit was

approximately 44,000,000 tons of 28 to 36% soluable iron and

that the deposits was too small to be economically exploited.

SAND AND GRAVEL

Sand and gravel is plentiful throughout the area and

any building or construction will have a ready source of raw

material for ballast, fill and concrete aggregate.

Enclosed are two copies of a Notice of Intent with state ments listing a reduced rate of assessment work credits to be allowed for a technical survey. Please forward one scopy to the recorded holder of the claims and retain the other. In approximately fifteen days from the above date, a final letter of approval of these credits will be sent to you. On receipt of the approval letter, you may then change the work entries on the claim record sheets.

Notice of Intent

for Technical ReportsOntario

1983 05 24

2.5106

An examination of your survey report indicates that the requirements of The Ontario Mining Act have not been fully met to warrant maximum assessment work credits. This notice is merely a warning that you will not be allowed the number of assessment work days credits that you expected and also that in approximately 15 days from the above date, the mining recorder will be authorized to change the entries on his record sheets to agree with the enclosed statement. Please note that until such time as the recorder actually changes the entry on the record sheet, the status of the claim remains unchanged.

If you are of the opinion that these changes by the mining recorder will jeopardize your claims, you may during the next fifteen days apply to the Mining and Lands Commissioner for an extension of time. Abstracts should be sent with your application.

If the reduced rate of credits does not jeopardize the status of the claims then you need not seek relief from the Mining and Lands Commissioner and this Notice of Intent may be disregarded.

If your survey was submitted and assessed under the "Special Provision-Performance and Coverage" method and you are of the opinion that a re-appraisal under the "Man-days" method would result in the approval of a greater number of days credit per claim, you may, within the said fifteen day period, submit assessment work breakdowns listing the employees names, addresses and the dates and hours they worked. The new work breakdowns should be submitted direct to the Lands Management Branch, Toronto. The report will be re-assessed and a new statement of credits based on actual days worked will be issued.
