GEOLOGICAL MAPPING AND SAMPLING OF THE ECLIPSE GOLD PROSPECT, AMAI INLET,

KYUQUAT SOUND Alberni Mining Division

INTRODUCTION

K.E..Northcote and Associates Ltd. was contracted by Cortez Explorations Inc. to assess the mineical potential of the Eclipse Prospect D.L. claims and surrounding area and to prepare a report to cover assessment of the D.L. claims for 1 year. my direction, by James Jd. Laird, is also included in this report. General information is taken from a report dated October, 1985, prepared by Mr. Laird.

Sampling of the Eclipse property done under

LOCATION

The Eclipse gold prospect is situated approximately 2.5 Km south of the east end of Amai Inlet at approximately 500 metres (1650 feet) elevation on the 3rd tributary entering Adam Creek from the southwest. See Figure 2 .

ACCESS

The claims are accessible by foot from Amai Inlet up an old logging road following Adam's Creek to about 120 metres (400 feet) elevation and thence by steep trail to the main Eclipse workings.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

Mr. Thomson, owner of the claims, maintains a cabin on the shore of Amai Inlet at the mouth of Adam's Creek and an excellent new cabin with workshop on the hi:Llside a few hundred metres below the main Eclipse workings.

Equipment on the property includes a small jaw crusher, cement mixer- ball mill and a variety of hand tools. from Mr. Thomson.

MAPPING AND SAMPLING PROGRAM RESULTS

GEOLOGY OF THE ECLIPSE PROSPECT

The main Eclipse prospect lies within polyphase granodiorite of the Vancouver Island Intrusions at sufficient distance from intrusivevolcanic contacts with the Bonanza Formation to be free of most contact effects. granodiorite is medium grained with distinct phases represented by variation from mes0cratj.c to leucocratic accompanied by increasing K-spar-silica content. distinct but are generally diffuse with younger siliceous and K-spar- rich phases as irregular impregnations in older. Some epidote chlor-

ite quartz and K-spar segregations accompanied by a bleached appear- ance of older phases are associated with internal plutonic contacts. Basic and lesser aplite-filled fractures form dykes ranging from a few cm to 1 metre in width in northerly to northeasterly and north- westerly trending fractures in granodiorite. Smaller locally branch-

ing "offshoots1' of basic dykes have attitudes ranging from flat lying to near-vertical.

At the main Eclipse working the polyphase '

The northerly and northeasterly trending dykes are commonly followed by a number of generations of pre-and post mineral fracturing.

has been found in the narrow, main intensely fractured zone. Here

native gold and tetradymite(?) occur in chloritic slip surfaces and with pyritic, biotite-rich, chloritic and silica-rich material. Specimens containing native gold have been found in subsidiary

chloritic and epidote filled fractures and slip surfaces adjacent to the main fracture zone.

A total of 25 samples were taken for Au and Ag assay.
