INTRODUCTION
The present report describes the results of the recent exploration work completed on the Goldcreek mining property, Shebandowan area, Thunder Bay Mining District, Northwestern Ontario for Landore Resources Inc. The work was completed in order to satisfy the requirements of assessment work and was aimed at gaining a better understanding of the geology and structure within the felsic to intermediate volcanic belt located within the south central part of the claim block.
The work started is August 1998 and the report completed March 23rd, 1999. The exploration program has been conducted under the supervision of Ovalbay Geological Services Inc. consultants based in Thunder Bay, Ontario. This exploratory work included mainly stripping and hand cleaning of bedrock exposures.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The mining property is located within the Thunder Bay Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada, some 60 kilometers west of the city of Thunder Bay.
The eastern, northern and southern portions of the claim block are accessible by a network of all weather gravel logging roads which branch from a main access road, the Duckworth camp 518 road. The camp 518 road itself branches from the secondary paved road giving access to the former Inco Shebandowan Mine. This secondary paved road joins Highway # 11 some 6 kilometers north.
CLAIMS
The block of claims is comprised of more than 500 adjacent units of 16 hectares, covering superficies of approximately 8,272 hectares (
20,680 acres) within Duckworh and Laurie townships. The claims are recorded largely under the name of Landore Resources Inc., nevertheless the older claims are recorded 50^o under the name of Jet Mining Exploration and 50/0 under the name of D. O Walsten, prospectors of Thunder Bay and Kenora respectively. A few claims are recorded under Laminco Exploration and Wing Resources, both companies having an orifice in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
PREVIOUS WORK
Gold was first reported in 1896 by a government geologist on the shores of Gold Creek. The property was then known as the Quartzite Mine and is located within the southern part of the present mining property.
From 1943 to 1944, Gunflint Iron Mines Ltd completed surface work including 2,796 feet of diamond drilling to test iron and gold showings in the northwest part of the present property.
Monpre Mining Company Ltd explored a block of claims along the Matawin iron formation from 1956 to 1957 within the northern part of the block of claims in central Duckworth and Laurie townships. Ground geophysics, geological mapping and 10,592 linear feet of diamond drillings4aliv*ch***f*s4 inn vv^ill*^** tr\*-io n-P ^ HO/L TT*a *^ris4 rvrt rtv*n** *-hi* wi-*r**f**Y v**-A-4^ha^llvttl**r UW1JJ.1WULWU Ji\J\J l±lAlll\-n.l L\J1U \Ji ^VS/U l W UJ1U. till UJ^VIJ ^Sll lJ.lJ-i.m-lg> JbSlW~l.WUOlLrAUfrJ
plan was prepared. The property went dormant until 1983 when the patented claims lapsed.
In 1958, George Chillian dug trenches and drilled ten holes on a gold showing aiong the shores of Sand Lake on the present mining claims and later (in 1972) D. Scali and V. Borschneck completed limited geophysics and diamond drilling in the vicinity of gold creek.
From 1972 to 1973 in the southern part of the property, exploration programs including 3,371 feet of diamond drilling, in search of base metal mineralization, was conducted by T.C. Byrne, the Caltor Syndicate and Noranda Exploration.
Jalna Resources Ltd. optioned part of the southern portion of the in l QJtt and completed a significant exploration program including
ground and airborne surveys, geological mapping, geochemical surveys, trenching, sampling and overburden drilling.
Anaconda Canada Exploration Ltd followed up the work in 1984-1985 with 3,665 feet of diamond drilling.
The most significant exploration program, on the present claims, has been completed by Inco who optioned the mining property in 1987. In 1987, most of the claims were covered by grid lines along with geological and magnetic surveys. Several areas were prospected and selected areas of anomalous gold mineralization were stripped and trenched. A total of 4,753 feet of drilling was completed late in the year. In 1988, further stripping and trenching was conducted in 15 areas of gold mineralization, 2,004 feet of drilling (4 holes) were completed in April 1988 and some 3,752 feet of drilling (12 holes) in November 1988. An all weather gravel road (l kilometer) was constructed to the I-Zone. The 1989 exploration program included more stripping and trenching with detailed channel sampling of part of the I-Zone. In February, March and November 1989, 4,175 additional feet of diamond drilling (l l holes) were also completed along with a bulk cyanide test on the channel samples collected on the I-Zone. The results of the bulk leach test show that a recovery of 96.2^0 can be achieved by leaching.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The study area is situated in the western portion of the Shebandowan - Wawa greenstone belt, which is part of the Superior Structural Province of the Canadian Shield. Keewatin meta-volcanics and meta-sediments are intruded by mafic and felsic intrusives such as the Shebandowan Lake stock. Timiscaming type meta-sediments and associated volcanics occur above an unconformable contact with the Keewatin lithologies. All rock types are cut by late diabase and lamphophyres dykes.
The area has recently been recognized as a potential new gold b**lt (the Matawin Gold Belt) within the Thunder Bay Mining District by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines because of its geological and structural similarities with the well known Kirkland Lake gold mining camp.
PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The geology of the property from the north to the south is divided into three main units. The northern part of the property is underlain by mafic volcanics and gabbroic intrusions. The central portion of the claims comprises a band of Timiscaming sediments. The north contact of the Timiscaming sediments is non-conformable and possibly faulted. To the south of the Timiscaming sediments, a large band of felsic to intermediate volcanics are in unconformable contact with the sediments. These meta-volcanic rocks include intermediate flows, quartz and feldspar phyric, intrusive to extrusive rocks including flow banded rhyolite and abundant pyroclastic rocks. The south-central part of the area is underlain by vesicular un-pillowed, mafic to intermediate raeta-volcanic rocks with associated tuff breccias.
Syenite and lamprophyre dykes intrude the Timiscaming sediments and locally the southern volcanic belt. A very well developed ladder vein system is present in most of the syenite dykes with numerous quartz stringers and veins of variable width (mm's to em's).
RECENT WORK
Intermittently during the period of August 15th, 1998 to March 23rd, 1999, a limited exploration program has been completed within the southern central portion of the claim block now controlled by Landore Resources Inc.
The area of interest in underlain by a sequence of felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks including:
Intermediate crystal tuff felsic to intermediate tuff Felsic crystal tuff Felsic quartz crystal tuff
The formations are believed to strike NW to NE with sub-vertical dips. Bedrock grab samples within the area, which were collected by Inco while mapping the property in the late 1980's, returned numerous anomalous gold values up to 0.02 opt Au. No follow up work has ever been completed in the area. In the eastern portion of the study area, (map l in pocket) previous diamond drilling returned wide mineralized sections of anomalous gold grading up to 0.04 opt Au over 85.0 feet.
In general the area has an excellent potential for large tonnage (Bousquet type , province of Quebec) gold deposit.
In august 1998, a stripping program was initiated. A backhoe (Cat 350) from Rene Methot Excavation of Thunder Bay, Ontario was hired to open up more exposures close to already exposed bedrock. The work was executed under the direct supervision of Ovalbay Geological Services Inc. also of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
A crew of two helpers was cleaning up rock exposures within the stripped areas. The work was oriented at detailing the local geology and also to try to understand the local structure.
A total of 8 trenches were opened up and are located on the accompanying map.
Trench # l located west of the Duckworth access road, has been opened for 10 meters north-south and 6 meters east-west. The thickness of the overburden is fairly thin, 0.5 meter. The rocks exposed are represented mainly by felsic crystal tuff.
Trench # 2 has been excavated east of the road and east of trench # 1. It also encountered mainly felsic crystal tuff in an area of 30 meters by 5 meters.
Trench # 3 has been opened for 60 meters NS by up to 14 meters E W and locally to a depth of 2 meters. Felsic tuffs and felsic crystal (feldspar) tuffs were exposed.
Trench # 4 (40 m X 10m X 2M) trench # 5 (15m X 10m X 1m) trench # 6 (10m X 14m X 1m) trench # 7 (15m X 15m X 1.5m) and trench # 8 (15m X 20m X 2m) exposed a sequence of felsic tuff, felsic crystal tuff and felsic quartz crystal tuff.
It is very difficult to detail the geology within the study area in order to establish stratigraphy and also the structure.
The formations are serialized and silicified locally, highly schistose with a very strong lineation oriented at 315 degrees and dipping 70 degrees northwest.
The strong schistosity possibly developed parallel to the axial plane of large folds has not been seen cutting across geological contacts yet. Locally finely disseminated pyrite is present and should answer very favorably to Induced Polarization survey. No sampling has been completed so far as whole rock analysis are recommended to find out if these rocks are true felsic or just strongly altered.
The potential for gold mineralization is most promising within the quartz crystal felsic tuff of intermediate to felsic composition, nevertheless the potential for base metal mineralization should not be overlooked.
CONCLUSIONS
Mineralization within the study area is associated to abundant felsic fragmental rocks which have undergone widespread and pervasive
