INTRODUCTION

This report describes the results of a. helicopter-borne magnetic survey,

totalling 1202 line km., carried out by Gulf Minerals Canada Limited, to

the west, of Kippen Lake in northwestern Ontario. The area is located

about 560 km. north-northwest of Thunder Bay.

The survey area was divided into two blocks covered by a grid of 268

flight lines spaced 100 metres apart. The west block flight lines are

aligned north to south with the east block lines set at approximately

N 300W. The purpose of the survey was to prospect for massive base metal

sulphide deposits. The field work was dine during the period February

8-13, 1980. The data processing and interpretation was done in Toronto

during May, 1980.

The area flown is presented in three sections. Maps 3, 7, and 11 accom

pany this report. These maps are shown at a scale of l cm. * 1 00 m. The

Total Magnetic Field map shows contours of the total magnetic field which

has not been corrected for regional variation.

GEOLOGY

The geology of the area is shown at a scale of l inch to l mile on the

Ontario Department of Mines Maps 2162 and 2163. The area is described

overall in an O.D.M. report entitled "Geology of the Muskrat Dam Lake

Area (L. D. Ayres, 1969, Geological Report 74).

The area consists largely of felsic to mafic metavolcanics with some meta-

sediments containing metamorphosed iron formations. These units have been

intruded at a later stage by metamorphosed diorites and gabbros. The de

gree of regional metamorphism is greenschist facies grading to amphibolite

facies north of the Severn River. Regionally, the map area is a vol

canic greenstone belt that is gradational between the Muskrat Dam Lake

belt to the east and the Rottenfish River belt to the west. As both

these belts are poorly defined, additional geological work may define

the area.

Mineralization is only roughly known, but trace to minor amounts of

gold and copper have been found in sampled quartz veins. The northwest

corner of Sandhill Crane Island has a 100 m. strike length of interbedded

pyrrotite and pyrite outcropping. Other report;, indicate possible galena

and sphalerite mineralization in the area as well.

INTERPRETATION

The strong east-west striking magnetic highs are largely due to the pre

sence of interbedded iron formations in the metavolcanics and metasedi-

ments. This is well shown in the central part of area 3, where a cluster

of magnetic anomalies occurs in a known sedimentary location. The min

eralized area of Sandhill Crane Island conforms to a moderate local mag

netic anomaly, the stronger magnetic high immediately east appears to be

a structural feature of a mafic intrusive unit.

The Windigo River fault can be inferred from the noticeable break in the

magnetic lineation east of the mineralized zone. Similar breaks in mag

netic features imply that additional faults are present. In general,

the metasedimentary areas can be distinguished by their relatively low

magnetic relief compared to the areas of greenstone.

CONCLUSION

The aeromagnetic survey has contributed to the geological knowledge

of the area.
