1.0 INTRODUCTION
A prospecting program was conducted on 3 claims (TB903509,
TB908517, TB903536) on the Prospect Cove property during the
period April 13 to April 15, 1990 and April 19, 1990. The
property is in the eastern extension of the Wawa-Shebandowan
sub-province and lies within the felsic, mafic volcanic rocks and
sediments of the Heron Bay group which host the Stenlund pyritic
gold zones.
2.0 CLAIM LOCATION, OWNERSHIP AND ACCESS
Twenty contiguous claims are 1001 held by Nor and a
Exploration Company, Limited. The claims are situated within the
Pic township and are bounded in the west by Lake Superior and
east by Highway 627 and Pic River Indian reserve. The claim
numbers are:
TB 908492 TB 908503 TB 908533TB 908493 TB 908506 TB 908534TB 908497 TB 930507 TB 908535TB 908498 TB 908508 TB 903536TB 908499 TB 908509 TB 908533TB 908501 TB 908517 TB 908539TB 908502 TB 908518
The property can be accessed by a two-wheel drive vehicle
2km south of the town of Heron Bay on Highway 627.
3.0 PHYSIOGRAPHY
The topography is very rugged with intermittent cliffs
forming a maximum relief approximately 125m above the mean level
of Lake Superior. Flat lying swampy areas are found between the

two central lakes and in the area of the base line between L2560E
to L2930E. The property is variably covered by second growth
poplar, spruce and cedar swamp.
4.0 PREVIOUS WORK
In 1903 Tanglewood Consolidated Resources Inc. carried out
magnetometer, soil geochemical and geological surveys.
In 1986 Norex restaked part of the Tanglewood Resources
ground and initiated linecutting VLF-Magnetometer surveys,
geological mapping, prospecting and lithogeochemical programs.
5.0 PROPERTY GEOLOGY
Two main litoologies predominate on the property. The
northern two-thirds of the claim group is underlain by felsic
volcanic and intrusive rocks with mafic volcanics to the south.
6.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
North to south traverses were run across the three claims.
On claim 900517 felsic rocks were observed to the north with
conglomerate in the middle and mafic volcanic rocks to the south.
Most of the rocks have been weak to moderately sheared but very
little mineralization was observed, with the exception of sample
H0601-A which was taken in the SE corner of the claim. This
sample was of sheared mafic volcanics and contained 2-3% pyrite.
On claim TB903509 mostly felsic volcanic and quartz feldspar
porphyry rocks were observed. Most of the rocks were sheared and
contained some carbonate. Only one sample was taken #10601-B in
the 3E corner of the claim. It was of sheared intrusive rock
containing trace pyrite.
The rocks on claim TB908536 were similar to that of claim
908509. Only one sample was taken in the south central portion
of the claim. This sample was of highly sheared mafic volcanics
containing up to l 1?; pyrite.
7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A major east-west lineament at the southern portion of 2
claims may be a major fault. Rocks were found to be weak to
moderately sheared at this break. It is important to note that
this break is also the mafic-felsic contact. Further prospecting
along this break should take place after the snow is gone.
A large east-west swamp in the eastern portion of claim
TB903517 is along strike from known anomalous soil samples to the
east and could be of interest in the future.
