REPORT ON AN AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY ELLIOT LAKE (MACE LAKE) AREA, ONTARIO, CANADA

ATLANTIC RICHFIELD CANADA LTD.

INTRODUCTION:

Between October 28 and October 30, 1969, an airborne geophysical

survey was conducted in the Elliot Lake (Mace Lake) Area, Ontario, by

Atlantic Richfield Canada Ltd.

Of the 700 line miles flown, 600 miles cover the actual claim

blocks in this report. The claims covered by this survey are located

In Townships 162, 163, 168 and 169, District of Algoma, Sault Ste.

Marie Mining Division, Ontario, Canada. The area is shown on Map l

which includes the complete outline of all the claim blocks.

The airborne survey was conducted for the purpose of mapping the

distribution of radioactive material in the area and distinguishing

between uranium, thorium, anil potassium sources. The geophysical

instruments used were supplied by EG&G, International, Boulder, Colorado,

and are outlined in Appendix A. The aircraft used to conduct the survey

was a Turbo-Beaver owned and operated by Atlantic Richfield Canada Ltd.

The airborne geophysical survey lines were flown in a north- south

and east-west direction with a line spacing no greater than one quarter

of a mile. The navigation and flight path recovery were accomplished

through the use of doppler radar navigation instruments. This equipment

is outlined in Appendix A. The survey was flown at an altitude of 400'-

and, at an average air speed of 100 miles per hour.

REPORT ON AN AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY ELLIOT LAKE (MACE LAKE) AREA, ONTARIO, CANADA

ATLANTIC RICHFIELD CANADA LTD.

INTRODUCTION:

Between October 28 and October 30, 1969, an airborne geophysical

survey was conducted in the Elliot Lake (Mace Lake) Area, Ontario, by

Atlantic Richfield Canada Ltd.

Of the 700 line miles flown, 600 miles cover the actual claim

blocks in this report. The claims covered by this survey are located in

Townships 162, 163, 168 and 169, District of Algoma, Sault Ste. Marie

Mining Division, Ontario, Canada. The area is shown on the maps that

accompany the report and includes the complete outline of all the claim

blocks.

The portion of the airborne survey covered by this report was

conducted for the purpose of mapping the local magnetic and the very' low

frequency (VLF) anomalies. The VLF receiver used was supplied by

McPhar Geophysics Limited, Don Mills, Ontario and is outlined in

Appendix A. The magnetometer used was supplied by EG&G, International,

Boulder, Colorado, and is outlined in Appendix A. The aircraft used to

conduct the survey was a Turbo-Beaver owned and operated by Atlantic

Richfield Canada Ltd.

The airborne geophysical survey lines were flown in a north-south

and east-west direction with a line spacing no greater than one quarter

of a mile. The navigation and flight path recovery were accomplished

through the use of doppler radar navigation instruments. This equipment

is outlined in Appendix A. The survey was flown at an altitude of 400'i

and at an average air speed of 100 miles per hour.

SSM- 1407

Data Reduction

The VLF data were displayed using a profile format. The profiles

were examined and the VLF anomalies were recorded on the map as small

dots. VLF anomalies that were coincident with magnetic anomalies were

mapped as large dots. VLF anomalies are indicative of a relative increase

in the conductance of the near-surface rocks. The coincidence of magnetic

and VLF anomalies may be indicative of base metal mineralization.

The magnetic data is contoured by computer programming. The Earth's

normal field is removed from the total intensity profiles as recorded in

the field. These resultant data (in line form) are tied by a minimization

technique to provide a smooth, continuous surface that describes the local

magnetic field. This is t3 - In two basic steps, (1) vertical datum

shifts (systematic errors) are determined to minimize mis-ties at all line

intersections, (2) the remaining mis-ties (random errors) are then removed

by being distributed between intersections along the data lines. During

this adjustment process, certain of the data lines may be completely

removed if these lines fail to meet statistical requirements based on the

variance of the mis-ties of the individual lines.

The adjusted set of magnetic profiles is now ready for gridding prior

to contouring. This gridding is accomplished by a proprietary line-oriented

gridding program. The basic requirement is that the survey be flown with

flight lines approximately parallel and more or le"s evenly spaced. The

grid mesh is usually taken as the average line spacing but may be set at

any fixed value. The gridded output is then contoured at an appropriate

contour interval.

Aeromagnetic Map

The scale of this map is l" = 1 ,320 feet at. l the contour interval is

10 gammas.

There are four major linear features exhibited on this map. The

First lies south of Lease Area 0-41 and Lease Area 0-42 and trends in

a west-northwest direction. This feature is the magnetic expression of a

fault and/or a diabase dike. The second linear feature is oriented east-

northeast and extends through Lease Area 0-35 north of Lease Area 0-36

and intersects the northwest corner of Lease Area 0-32. This is the

magnetic expression of a portion of the Nipissing Diabase. The third

linear feature is situated across the northwest corner of this map. It

extends from Claim Block 103403 through Claim Block 103414, Lease Area

0-44, and through the contoured magnetic maximum located in the vicinity

of the word ( "Township 169." This magnetic maximum trend is the expression

of the fault chat parallels the Little White River. The fourth and

final linear maximum trend located in this area extends through the

feature located in Claim Block 80784 and Claim Block 80798 on the Cominco

Area, Township 162; thence northwest through the maximum at Claim Block

95125, Lease Area 047, thence through the maximum south of Claim Block

84000, Lease Area 0-36, Township 168, thence in a northeastern direction

through the magnetic maximum located in Cluim Blocks 84064 and 84054,

Lease Area 0-32. This feature appears to be associated with the

syncline that trends northwest-southeast across the northeast portion of

this map. It is probably a mineralized faulted zone lieing close to the

surface.

VLF Anomaly Map

The scale of this map is l" = 1,320 feet. The small dots indicate

SSM-1407

-4-

VLF anomalies and the large dots indicate VLF anomalies with aeromagnetic

anomalies coincidences.

The only group of VLF anomalies of any interest are located in Lease

Area 0-47, Township 162. These anomalies appear to be associated with

the magnetic anomaly that is structurally controlled by the local syncline.

The remaining anomalies indicated on this map have no relationship to any

major magnetic trend.

ELECTROMAGNETIC SUBSYSTEM

The McPhar airborne KEM system using VLF transmission from Cutler,

Maine, 17.8 KHa, as the primary field was operated aboard the Beaver

airdraft. In the absence of conductors, the electromagnetic field is

horizontal and constant in amplitude. A conductor will distort the

horizontal field and often change the amplitude of the received signal.

The KEM system continuously measures the dip of the resultant field in

degrees and may be regarded as a vertical loop system with the trans

mitter located at infinity.

Radiometric Maps

General

All of the contoured radiometric maps have been produced by computer

programming. In order to facilitate 'the contouring program, the data

were subjected to smoothing filters. The weighted formula for this

operation on the Bi2i4 and K/io Maps is:

.2Z + .4Z +.7Z + Z + .7Z + .4Z +.2Z zi z i-3 i-2 i-1 i i+1 i+2 i+3

i+2 (.7* 4-f 2)

The weighted formula for this operation on the T1208 and Gross Count map is:

Zi = . 4Z i -

The lowest contour lines have been deleted from each of the radio

metric maps. Thus, the features contoured represent only those anomalies

that arc of a high grade.

The radiometric data have been corrected for background radiation,

Compton Effect and altitude deviation. These operations were performed

on the data at the computer.

Map # 2 Bismuth 214

The scale of this map is l" ^ 1 ,320'. The contour interval is 2 cps

with the lowest contour line at 8 cps.

There are two prime anomalies on this map. The largest is located

on Claim Block 84232, Lease 0-36, Township 168. The second anomaly is

located north of Claim Block 103414, Lease 0-44, Township 169. This

latter anomaly is located along an anomalous trend that is oriented

northeast-southwest and extends across the northwest corner of this map.

There arc other scattered anomalous areas in Leases 0-29, 0-47, 0-28, in

Township 162.

Map #3 Thallum 208

The scale of this map is l" ^ 1 ,320'. The contour interval is l cps

and the lowest contour line has a value of 4 cps.

There are three major anomalous areas on the Thaliunt Map. The first

and most important lies along a northeast- southwest trending anomalous area

located in the northwest part of the map. This is the same feature that

was seen on the Bismuth Map. The maximum anomalous highs are located

in Claim Blocks 103414, 103413, east of 103406, in Lease 0-44, Township

169, and southwest of Claim Block 10744, Lease 0-41, Township 168.

The second anomalous area is located in Claim Block 84232, Lease

0-36, Township 168. The third anomalous area is located in Claim Block

98838, Lease 0-28, Township 162.

There is a low grade anomaly that trends cast-west through Leases

0-48, 0-31 and 0-29 of Township 162.

Map #4 Potassium 40

The Potassium Map shows four anomalous areas. The major anomalous

trend is located through Leases 0-48, 0-31, and 0-29 of Township 162.

This trend .that is oriented in an east-west direction, is also represented

by an anomaly positioned north of Claim Block 103824, Lease 0-45,

Township 162. This latter anomaly is actually in the southwest corner

of Township 163. The second anomalous area is located across Lease 0-28,

Township 162 and appears to be oriented in a northeast-southwest direction.

The third anomalous area is locate*' in the vicinity of Claim Blocks 80784

and 80785 of the Cominco Lease, Township 162.

The last anomalous trend is oriented northeast-southwest and lies

across the northwest corner of this map in Townships'169 and 168.

Map #5Gross Count Map

The scale of this map is l" = 1,320'. The contour interval is

200 cps and the lowest contour line has a value of 2,200 cps.

There are five gross anomaly trends located on this map. The

longest trend is located in the northwest section of the map, is oriented

northeast-southwest and passes through Townships 168 and 169. This is

the same trend that was seen on the Bismuth and Thalium Maps. The

largest anomalies are located in Claim Blocks 103414, 103413, and

103406, Lease 0-44, Township 169; Claim Block 103426, Lease 0-43,

Township 169; and Claim Block 91714, Lease 0-35, Township 168. The

second and steepest is located in Claim Block.84232, Lease 0-36, Township

168. This anomaly was noted previously on the Bismuth and Thalium

Maps. The third anomalous area is located in Claim Block 34000, Lease

0-36, Township 168. The fourth anomalous area on the Gross Count Map

is located on a trend from Claim Block 98839, Lease 0-28 through Claim

Block 96099, Lease 0-46, Township 162. The last anomalous area is

located through and around the Cominco Lease area in Township 162.

It appears that the anomalies located along the northwest section

of the map and in the vicinity of Claim Block 84232, Lease u-36,

Township 108 warrant a geophysical or^a geological ground survey.
