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
- 4 -
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.
- 9 -
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

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.
- 17 -
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.
- 18 -
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.
- 19 -
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.
- 20 -
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.
- 26 -
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
- 27 -
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
- 31 -
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.
- 34 -
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
- 36 -
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%.
- 37 -
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%.
- 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.
- 41 -
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.
- 42 -
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.
- 43 -
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.
- 44 -
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.
- 45 -
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.
- 46 -
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
- 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
- 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.
- 49 -
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
- 50 -
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..
- 53 -
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.
- 54 -
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

Most top determinations indicate a south facing series,
however, enough north facing top determinations were made to
indicate a series of tightly folded units. This series may be
the western limb of a much larger north trending synclinal
sequence, the axis of which trends north through Kemp and Mond
Townships, east of Burrows Township.

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
- 64 -
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.

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
j

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
- 98 -
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,
. 99 .
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
- 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.
