SUMMARY

The results of the recent exploration activities have shown that the claim group Is underlain by a structurally complex, overturned assemblage of calc-alkaline footwall felsic volcanics and tholeiitic hanglngwall basalts. The footwall units have been subjected to widespread hydrothermal alteration consisting of co-Incident iron enrichment and soda depletion, and these signatures are similar to those observed below some Archean volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits elsewhere.

Diamond drilling has intersected widespread occurrences of strong stringer-type sulphide mineralization. The better values have been returned from holes TOW-91-3 (t.2% Zn74.96m), TOW-91 -5 (S.2% AiV6.95m) and TOW-91 -6 (1.3** Zn/21.33m). Occurrences of bedded sulphides were observed in holes TOW-91-1, 2, 5 and 7, and yielded elevated base metal values. While significant sulphide occurrences are present at all stratigraphic levels, a spatial association between better values and the top of the sequence is clearly apparent, suggesting that the upper levels may hold higher potential for hosting base metal sulphides.

The data gathered to-date all point towards a favourable environment for the formation of Archean VMS deposits. A good deal of potential remains untested in the western and southern portions of the property. Drill testing of these areas Is recommended.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

lm This report will describe the results of exploration activities conducted by Noranda

Exploration on the Tower Lake claim group. These claims are currently under option to Noranda

J Exploration from Grand America Minerals Ltd. located in Vancouver, B.C. A wide variety of work

j types were executed on the claims largely during the fall and early winter of 1991. These

activities were carried out under the direct field supervision of the author, with assistance being

l provided by Kim Wakeford, David MacLean, Gary Smith and Keith Green. All personnel were

u employees of Noranda Exploration.

j The goal of this exploration work was to evaluate the property's potential for hosting

significant quantities of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization. To that end, activities were

l conducted to 1 ) examine and explain the source of geophysical and geochemical anomalies, 2)

m refine and resolve the structural geology of the property, 3) identify the environment of

deposition, and 4) drill-test the most favourable areas Identified by the previous activities.

2.0 LOCATION ACCESS. AND CLAIMS

The property is located In central Cunningham Twp. approximately 130km southwest of

Timmins, Ontario and 15km northeast of Sultan, Ontario (Figure 1.). Access to the southern and

western portions of the property is by means of the gravel forestry roads as shown in Figure 1.

Additional access to northern and northwestern portions of the claims is provided by old bush

trails of 1940 vintage. The property currently consists of the seventeen (17) unpatented mining

claims as shown in Figure 2.

The village of Sultan is located on the CP Rail main line and has a population of 500-700.

l Some limited services such as gasoline, groceries, propane, and telephone are available in the

m village, but a more complete set of services are available in Chapleau, approximately 55km to the

northwest.

lg 3.0 TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION

l The topography in the vicinity of the property is fairly rugged, with local relief being up

m to 50m in height. The area as a whole is very hilly with abundant rock outcroppings creating

ledges and cliffs anywhere up to a few 10's of meters in height. This rugged terrain poses some

i i

iiV ii i

restrictions on the movement of heavy equipment in the area, however only a few areas exist

which are not accessible.

j The vegetation in the area consists of a mixture of mature forest and cedar swamps. The

dominant tree types consist of Jack pine, black spruce and poplar. Occasional birch and rare

l amounts of maple trees are also present in the area. Both Cunningham and Blamey Townships

m have undergone forestry operations over the years. These operations have removed many of

the larger stands of jack pine and black spruce by dear cutting. Operations have largely ceased

in recent years, however, some of the smaller stands of conifers were harvested in Cunningham

Twp. in the fall of 1991. Forestry operations have extended into the southern sections of the

property, where the clear cutting has provided excellent outcrop exposure along with good road

access. The northern portions of the property, north of line 7+OOS, had not been logged as of

late 1991, and conversations with the forestry company have indicated that no further activities

are planned for the northern part of the claim group.

4.0 PREVIOUS WORK

lm * Initial exploration activity in the area dates back to the early 1900's when the Rideout

Mining Company prospected the area for iron. During that time, the Iron formations' of

l Cunningham Twp. were located but were found to be of too low a grade for Iron production.

m During 1927, lead-zinc bearing veins hosted by these "iron formations' were discovered on what

is now KIrkton Resources' Shunsby property, and since then exploration In the area continued

l in a sporadic fashion.

i ti

l

The earliest record of work on the present claim group dates back to 1953. A detailed

chronological summary of exploration activity on the property is given below.

1953: Paae-Harlev Mines Ltd.. diamond drilling of 9 holes totalling 907m.

B 1957 and 1965: Consolidated Shunsbv Mines Ltd.. diamond drilling totalling 689m.

; 1969-1970: Consolidated Shunsbv Mines Ltd.. geological mapping and soil m geochemical surveys.

i 1974: Grandora Explorations Ltd.. soil geochemical surveys,

l 1978: M.W. Resources Ltd.. diamond drilling, 5 holes totalling 377m.

|f 1967-1988: Grand American Minerals Ltd.. linecutting, geological mapping, geophysical (HEM and magnetics) and geochemical (B-horizon soils) surveys.

i In addition to the above described work, a number of hand-dug trenches (for which there

" were no records) were encountered during the course of the 1991 program.

5.0 GEOLOGY

5.1 Regional Geology

While insufficient information exists to allow a thorough, detailed comprehension of the

regional geology of the area, enough information exists to allow an overview of the

geological/structural setting. Figure 3 illustrates our perception of the regional setting, and was

constructed by integration of airborne geophysical signatures (AEM, Amag) with all available

ground geological information.

Much of the area consists of variably textured mafic metavolcanics which vary in strike

from northeasterly in the western sectors, through easterly in the central sectors, and

southwesterly in the eastern sectors of the region. A number of bands or belts of dominantly

clastic and chemical sediments (an assemblage of chert-argillite-magnetite-Fe sulphides) largely

mimic the regional structural trends and are intercalated with the mafic metavolcanics on a gross

scale. Felsic metavolcanics underlie the chemical sediments In the vicinity of the Tower Lake

claim group. Figure 3 shows that these felsic metavolcanics are of only local area extent In the

area, however this is largely a function of the level of information, as additional areas of felsic

metavolcanic/pyroclastic rocks are continually being discovered with further work. An intrusive

suite ranging in composition from peridotite through gabbro to granodiorite is centred In the

southwestern sector of Cunningham Twp. The mafic and ultramafic Intrusives are interpreted to

be grossly strataform by their magnetic signatures and are believed to be older than the felsic

pluton. Granodiorite intruslves occur mostly as one large pluton, known as the Isaiah Creek

Pluton, and as numerous dikes and sills throughout the area. While no absolute age dates are

avaflable for the area, tt is likely that the Isaiah Creek Pluton Is roughly 2675 Ma in age, similar

to many other late-stage felsic intrusions throughout the Archean sub-province. Younger diabase

dikes cross-cut all stratigraphic units with roughly north and northwesterly orientations.

From the level of information available to-date, the area Is most structurally complex in

central and southern Cunningham Twp., with the stratigraphic trends becoming simpler and more

weO-behaved as one moves eastward into Garnet Twp. and westwards Into Greenlaw-Tooms-

Ssenhower Twps. In Cunningham Twp., the structural setting can be determined by the

distribution of the cherts or "iron formations*. A broadly ellipsoidal structure centred on the Isaiah

Creek Pluton is interpreted to account for the map pattern of the chert units and likely affects the

remaining units in this area. Elsewhere to the east and west, the entire stratigraphic package

consists of a broadly homoclinal, southerly dipping assemblage of lithologies. While the cause

of the structural complexity in Cunningham Twp. is not known, it is felt to be caused by or related

to emplacement of the younger Isaiah Creek Pluton.

5.2 Local Geoloov

On a property scale, the dalm group is underlain by a complexly folded package of

lithologies composed of felsic metavolcanic flows and pyroclastics, a chert-argilltte-magnettte-Fe

sulphide assemblage, a variolitic basalt unit and mafic massive to pillowed mafic metavolcanics.

Intruding into all lithologies are dikes, sills and stocks of gabbro and granodiorite. Larger bodies

of these intruslves are located in the western extremes of the property for the most part.

The oldest units on the property (stratigraphic footwall) are the felsic metavolcanics which

Page 13: I NORANDA EXPLORATION COMPANY, UMITED€¦ · NTS 41 0/10 VOLUME 1 6 l i l M! i i l Timmins, Ontario Reno Pressacco, M. Sc(A) * February, 1992 Project Geologist li I. 1 1 1 1 1 i

-9-

consist of rhyolltic flows, felsic ash to lapilli tuffs, and a heterogenous unit which is currently

interpreted to represent some type of turbiditic sediment or debris flow. Stratlgraphically

overlying, but structurally below these felsic units is the chemical sediment assemblage. These

chemical sediments are volumetrically dominated by variably textured cherts, but also contain

significant amounts of fine clastic sediments (argillite, graphitic argillite, greywacke), minor

amounts of interbedded magnetite, massive, bedded pyrite and pyrrhotite and rare amounts of

a tuffaceous component (both felsic and chloritic-mafic). The chemical sediments are hosts to

a variolitic basalt unit which is the most important stratigraphic marker horizon in central

Cunningham Twp. This variolitic basalt has already been traced almost continuously for a strike

' length of at least 5km. In keeping with terminology applied to the type sections located on the

A Shunsby property Immediately to the southeast, those cherts stratigraphlcally below the variolitic

basalt marker are known as the Upper Cherts. Those cherts located stratigraphically above the

V marker unit are known as the Lower Cherts. The unit stratigraphically above the Lower Cherts

A consists of a basalt, which forms the ultimate hangingwall to the succession in the area. This

lithologic assemblage is illustrated in the stratigraphic column shown in Figure 4, and more

P detailed lithologic descriptions are given in Appendix l.

Structurally speaking, our current interpretation suggests that the llthologles are part of

l an overturned, doubly folded, broadly synformal structure which is roughly a dome-and-basin

jm pattern as described by Ramsey (1967). The northeastern quadrant of the property is basically

upside-down and is now a flat-lying to gently plunging synform. This synform plunges gently tor i

l the southwest, and gradually broadens out westwards into a moderately dipping monoclinal

^ attitude. Figure 5 illustrates several schematic cross-sections across the synform which were

i l

constructed using drill hole and surficial data.

Umited geological mapping of the southern half of the property was undertaken prior to

the trenching program in order to aid in the geophysical Interpretation and attempt to discover

the presence of any areas of VMS-type hydrothermal alteration. This mapping was conducted

by the author in late September, and the results are shown on Map 1 (in pocket). These results

were integrated with trenching, drilling and geophysical information to construct a surficial

geology map (Map 2, in pocket) which illustrates our current perception of the property geology.

5.3 Economic Geology

As discussed in Section 4.0, base metal mineralization had been known in the area since

1927 and Figure 3 shows locations of the more significant base metal occurrences. For the most

part, these occurrences consist of stringer-type sphalerite with associated pyrtte-galena-

chalcopyrite-(pyrrhotite). These occurrences are usually hosted within the chemical sediment

assemblage. The largest of these is the Shunsby Occurrence, where sufficient mineralization is

present to conduct mineral inventory estimates. A number of such estimates have been

conducted over the years. The most recent estimate yields a combined total of 4.0 Mt grading

D.59% Cu and 2.56*ft Zn in two zones (Main and South). Some higher grade areas are present,

and a historical estimate of one such zone yielded an inventory of 970,000 tons grading 1 tt

Cu S.0% Zn. Much of this inventory occurs as stringer-type mineralization, however workers on

the property have Identified some bedded sulphide occurrences containing significant base metal

values.

On the Tower Lake Group, a number of localities have been discovered containing

elevated zinc-(lead)-(copper) values. The more significant occurrences are tabulated below:

6.0 GEOPHYSICS (G. Hodges, Division Geophysicist)

INTRODUCTION

During 1991, the geophysical work consisted of HLEM on the east-west lines between

700S and 1600S, 1100W and the baseline. VLF and magnetic data were collected on parts of

the north-west extension of the grid, 900W to 800E, on to SOON.

6.1 HLEM

The HLEM showed a broad band of conductors between 400W and OE on most of the

lines. The conductors range from moderate to strongly conductive. The depths

conductors in the north and southeast are less than 10m, while the depths average 40

of the

to 50m

In a broad band crossing northeast through central portion. The conductors may be broken by

an east-west fault between lines 1 200S and 1 300S, and a northeast striking fault appears to cross

line1000Sat150W.

Both graphitic argillites and base metal sulphides have been detected In this anomalous

area, and tt is not possible to distinguish the best target based on HLEM alone. Either

geochemistry, if it will work, or gravity is recommended to try and prioritize the conductors.

6.2 VLF-EM16

The VLF data shows a series of west-northwest striking conductors of varying

Page 21: I NORANDA EXPLORATION COMPANY, UMITED€¦ · NTS 41 0/10 VOLUME 1 6 l i l M! i i l Timmins, Ontario Reno Pressacco, M. Sc(A) * February, 1992 Project Geologist li I. 1 1 1 1 1 i

conductance and size. The variability of the overburden thickness in the area makes comparison

of the VLF to topography paramount, to assess which anomalies correlate to swamp edges, etc.

The VLF on the east part of the area covered should be reassessed with geochemistry

if possible, to highlight interesting conductors, and separate overburden from bedrock

conductors.

6.3 Magnetics

The magnetic data collected did not show significant anomalies, but they do support a

general west-northwest trend for the geology.

7.0 TRENCHING

A total of sixteen (16) trenches were excavated throughout the property in order to

examine and test selected geophysical, stratigraphic, and geochemical targets. All trenches were

dug less than 3m deep for safety reasons. This trenching was conducted during the period from

October 1-24, 1992 and used a John Deere 690 shovel contracted from Wlad and Sons of

Iroquois Falls, Ontario. All trenches were subsequently washed, and mapped with chip/channel

samples taken across any zones of interest. All samples were analyzed for Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag. A

number of rock samples for lithogeochemical analysis were collected during the course of trench

mapping. The trench locations are shown on Map 3 (in pocket) and individual trench maps are

attached (in pocket).

A number of these trenches yielded interesting results. Trench 5-91 (5+OOS, 2+50W) was

l successful in reaching bedrock in it's western 2/3, but hit highly compacted gravel in it's eastern

M- third. To the west, several intervals of py-po-(cpy) stringers were uncovered where grab samples

consistently contained elevated copper values up to 1 "fc Cu. To the east, two zones of ferrocreter

l (compacted gravel cemented by rust) 2m and 10m wide were uncovered. These zones along

± with the intervening hardpan had a hardness approaching that of concrete so that all efforts at

™ further excavation were unsuccessful. Several boulders of massive to bedded pyrite (some

l containing traces of sph-cpy) were found to be located within the thicker ferrocrete zone. Grab

sampling of these boulders returned up to Q.7% Zn, G.6% Cu.

l Trench 1 -91 (13+OOS, 0+50E) also encountered a ferrocrete zone. This zone was located

above an HLEM conductor, was up to 20m in width, and also contained boulders of bedded

l massive pyrite. Grab samples of these boulders returned elevated base metal values to Q.3%

l Trenches 7-91 (1 -f OOE, 1+50N) and 8-91 (3+OOE, 1+50N) were excavated along the

. north limb of the synformal structure. Both trenches exposed predominantly the debris flow, with

the southern third of trench 8 exposing a massive rhyolite flow. Both trenches exposed zones

l of intense chloritic alteration which commonly contained stringer and disseminated pyrite locally

' up to 20*K abundance. These zones appear roughly conformable, display a markedly increased

tii l

foliation with Increasing alteration, and reached a thickness of 36m In trench 8-91. Despite

comprehensive chip sampling across these zones, no significant base metal values were

encountered.

Trench 13-91 (7+158,0+75W) was excavated to further examine a quartz vein occurrence

mentioned in Augsten (1989), and was successful in reaching bedrock only in it's eastern part.

Fortunately the vein zone was exposed here and was found to be at least 6m in width. The vein

zone could be wider as the western contact is covered by gravel. The vein zone contained a

good deal of disseminated and stringer py-(po)-(cpy) up to 10*fc abundance. However, no

significant gold values were returned from sampling.

Trench 14-91 (8+OOS, 2+75W) exposed two zones of moderately dipping bedded

m sulphides. The stratigraphic^ lower zone (west) contained several narrow beds of pyrrhotite.

' The upper zone, less than 10m east, contained several beds of massive sulphides across a true

l thickness of approximately 2-3m. The sulphides consisted of thin pyrrhotite beds in the

centimetre range, and one larger bed of pyrite up to 0.75m thick. Elevated Cu-Zn values were

l associated with both these occurrences, with the best value being Q.4% Zn, 0.1 *JG Cu/LOm

B (channel).

l 8.0 LJTHOGEOCHEMISTRY

A total of sixty (60) samples were taken for whole rock analysis from either outcrops,

l trenches, or diamond drill core. In ail cases a great deal of care was taken in order to obtain as

^ representative and homogenous a sample as possible. Those samples with excessive

weathering rinds, quartz-calcite veining, containing more than 0.5-1 y* pyrite or pyrrhotite, or those

l which displayed any magnetism were discarded as they would artificially affect the analytical

^ results. Due to this attention paid to sample collection, the results and conclusions presented

™ below are felt to be as accurate as possible. Sample locations are illustrated on Map 4.

Analytical resutts and further sample details are given In Appendix III. Representative pieces of

l selected samples were retained for future reference. All samples to X-Ray Laboratories for

m analysis and the subsequent analytical results are illustrated in Figures 6,7,8,9 and 10.

J Figure 6 is an alkaline-subalkaline discrimination plot, and clearly shows that all samples

g are of subalkaline affinity, with some of the basalt and variolitic basalt samples being slightly

alkaline in nature. Figure 7 is a traditional Ti02-Zn discrimination plot which is Intended to show

l the essentially bl-modal (felsic-mafic) distribution of the sample population. For the most part,

m Figure 7 illustrates a good degree of correlation between the immobile trace element ratios and

" the field name. However three samples (18120,18126,18128) which were termed rhyolite in the

l field appear to have a trace element signature similar to that of the mafic metavolcanics.

Subsequent examination of the representative samples indicated that while sample 18120 may

l be of a mafic dyke, samples 18126 and 18128 where dearly rhyolitic in appearance. A possible

m explanation for this may be that these two samples (18126, 18128) were taken in an area

containing talc-chlorite alteration observed in outcrop, and that their anomalous plotting positions

l may be a tributed to alteration. Figure 7 also dearly shows a virtually identical trace element

m signature between the rhyolites and the debris flow. This leads to the conclusion that the two

units are genetically related and that the debris flow material was likely derived from a precursor

l felsic volcanic flow. Also of interest is the similarity between the felsic volcanic signatures and

^ those of the granodiortte/feldspar porphyry samples. While an insufficient number of samples

™ is available, the limited results shown in Figure 7 suggest another genetic link between the

l - footwall felsic units and the felsic intrusive suite. This lends support to the interpretation that the

Isaiah Creek Pluton may be a sub-volcanic equivalent to the felsic volcanic units.

Figure 8 is a discrimination diagram constructed along the same lines and similar intent

l as Figure 7, but adds a third immobile trace element for consideration. This diagram confirms

m the observations made In Figure 7 because the addition of the third element did not substantially

change the patterns of Figure 7. Of note in Figure 8 is the high degree of scatter in the variolitic

l basalt compositions. While showing some affinity with the hangingwall basalt samples, this

m variolitic basalt has a highly variable trace element signature. This may be explained by the

presence or absence of varioles in the selected sample. While attempts were made to

l consistently sample essentially massive sections of the unit, some samples may have been taken

m where a high degree of variole concentrations gave a massive appearance to the rock. Such

™ occurrences were commonly observed in drill core (eg holes TOW-91-3, 4, 5) where the unit

l would become a light beige in colour where the variole abundance approached 100**.

l Figure 9 displays the analytical results in a Jensen Cation plot. On examination, one sees

U that samples of the hangingwall basalt unit are clearly of tholeiitic affinity, but are either iron or

magnesium-tholeiites. The high degree of scatter in the variolitic basalt compositions Is again

l present, however the scatter appears to occur along a crudely linear trend along a line bisecting

m the AI203 vertex. This suggests that some process involving mostly AI203 had affected the

variolitic unit. This trend may be explained by variole abundance where a variole-free bulk

i i

composition in the Fe-tholeiite field may be shifted to that in the calc-alkaline andesite field, by

increasing tile variole contact.

l Another trend is visible in Figure 9 where both the rhyolite flows and debris flows show

. a systematic change from an initial bulk composition in the area of calc-alkaline rhyolite or dacite

•' towards a point along the Fe-Mg axis. This Is indicative of an iron enrichment (alteration) byr

some mineral (likely chlorite) containing an FeO: MgO ratio of approximately 0.85:0.15. Similar

l trends have been documented by Kranidiotis and Maclean (1987), Deptuk et al (1982), Morton

M (1984) and Osterberg (1985). The possibility that this effect can be produced by some primary

lithological variation Is reduced due to the fact that both the felsic flows and debris flows exhibit

l the same trend.

This same trend is evident to a lesser degree in the AEM diagram of Figure 10 where

l again both the rhyoiites and debris flows show a systematic variation towards the same point

B along the Fe-Mg axis as In Figure 9. This lends support to the conclusion of an iron enrichment

™ by a mineral containing and FeO:MgO ratio of approximately 0.85:0.15. The possibility that these

l trends can be caused by a systematic change in either AI203 or total alkali abundance is ruled

out by the fact that this iron enrichment trend moves towards the same point (FeO:MgO ratio)

" along the Fe-Mag axis and does not move orthogonally away from either vertex. The possibility

l that these trends may also be caused by some type of a mixing between the debris flow and an

iron-rich sediment is also ruled out due to the fact that the rhyolite samples exhibit the same

l trend in variation. This could not happen by a sediment mixing event. The most likely possibility

remains an iron enrichment alteration which affected both footwall units In an identical fashion.to

L effects shown in Figures 9 and 1 0. Thresholds for N^O depletions and FeO* enrichments were

chosen subjectively. With respect to Na^, any samples of either rhyolite or debris flow

l containing less than 1.0* soda were considered depleted. With respect to FeO*, all samples

y of rhyolite or debris flow were considered enriched if they plotted in the tholeiitic andesite field

' or above on Figure 9. Examination of Figure 4 reveals that most of the samples of rhyolite and

ll -M debris flow exhibit a co-incident soda-depletion and iron-enrichment, with almost all of the

footwall units in the northeastern quadrant being altered. The footwall unit on the western half

l of the property also shows alteration effects, but not as strongly as those units to the northeast.

In short, much of the footwall felsic volcanics on the property have been subjected to an

" alteration event whose signatures are consistent with those of a Mattabi-style alteration as

l described by Morton and Franklin (1987).

l i. 10.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

l For the most part, the results of the recent exploration activities have contributed greatly

^ to the understanding of the geological setting on the property, as well as explaining the style of

" mineralization and alteration by the use of existing VMS models. The greatest Impact of the

l trenching program was to refine the overall geological setting from that presented by Augsten

(1969), and essentially expanded the limits of the footwall felsic volcanic units. As well, the

l trenching served to explain a good number of HEM conductors and provide some input as to

M the structural setting of the property. The diamond drilling program served to locate several

areas containing strong stringer sulphide mineralization (holes TOW-91 -3: 1 .2*fc ZiV4.96m, TOW-

| 91 -5: S.2% ZnJ6.95m, and TOW-91 -6: 1 .3*** Zn/21 .33m) as well as to resolve a good deal of the

g structural geology of the property.

J Taking all the recent results into consideration, a favourable environment for the formation

^ of Archean VMS-type deposits Is felt to exist. The overall lithologic assemblage consists of a

calc-alkalic footwall felsic volcanic pile overlain by a tholeiitic basaltic hangingwall. The footwall

l felsic units display strong signs of having been affected by a widespread alteration event whose

, . geochemical signatures are similar to a "MattaW-type" as described by Morton and Franklin

l' (1987).

iAll lithologies have been found to host Zn-Cu-Pb stringer sulphide mineralization, with a

l J crude copper to zinc zonation with stratigraphic height being apparent in some drill holes. While

I ; some Individual samples contain anomalously high lead values, the overall Zn:Cu:Pb ratios J

remain consistent with other known Archean VMS deposits. While most of the significant

li * ^

mineralization encountered recently was of a stringer-type, some occurrences of bedded base

™ metal sulphides were observed, and serve to demonstrate that seawater-rock interfaces had

'fl developed at some point in time. Such interfaces have been recognized as being critical

components of other Archean VMS deposits (eg. Kidd Creek, Matagami, Noranda camps). It is

l dear that most all of the better grades returned to-date have been spatially related to either the

H Lower Cherts or the Variolitic Basalt unit, both of which are near the top of the stratigraphic

succession. This, along with the copper to zinc zonation, would suggest that the top of the

'l sequence would be most favourable for bedded sulphide mineralization.

11.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

i— Based on the information presented above, the following conclusions may be made:

l 1) The overall setting of the property consists of an overturned assemblage of calc-

^ alkaline felsic volcanics overlain by tholeiitic basalts.

i l i

3) Significant occurrences of base metal sulphide mineralization show strong spatial

5) A widespread alteration of the footwall felsic volcanic units have been recognized.

l This alteration consists dominantly of co-incident iron enrichment-soda depletion

m of all footwall units.

J On the basis of the above conclusions, it Is clear that a favourable environment for the

g formation of a classic Archean volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit is present on the property.

A good deal of the property to the west and south remains untested and should be explored.

l Further drilling at widely-spaced Intervals to test the upper portions of the stratigraphic

, succession in the western and southern portions of the property Is recommended.

fe The proposed drilling program will test the hanging wall contact by means of several

widely spaced drill holes. One drill hole will pierce the hanging wall contact at approximately the

l -200m elevation and is located such that it will test the contact in an area 500 metres away from

m hole TOW-91-5 (S.2% Zn76.95m). A second drill hole will test the hanglngwall contact at

approximately the -275m elevation, approximately -400m away from hole TOW-91 -3. In addition,

l tt will test several unexplained HEM conductors in the area of a trench which contained boulders

|| of bedded massive pyrite in a ferrocrete cement. These boulders carried elevated Cu-Zn values.

A third hole will test several unexplained HEM conductors in the vicinity of the felsic volcanic-

l chert contact and will test the hangingwall contact at approximately the -225m elevation. Hole

^ TOW-91-2 located 400m along strike to the north intersected a 1.7m thick bed of massive

"' pyrrhotite containing up to 1*fc Zn70.9m. This pyrrhotite bed may be a lateral equivalent to one

l of the 3 targeted HEM conductors in hole 3. Hole 5-X will deepen previous hole TOW-91 -5 which

intersected strong stringer-type sulphides at the variolitic basalt contact. By extending the hole

•' a short distance, the hangingwall contact will be tested at an anticipated depth of 175m.

FELSIC METAVOLCANICS

1) Rhyolite Flow - Colour typically medium to light grey when fresh, beige to buff when weathered. Typically very hard, massive to porphyritic texture with locally up to 10"* plagioclase phenocrysts set in an aphanitic siliceous groundmass. The phenocryst rarely exceed 2-3mm in size and are usually subhedral to anhedral. Unit may contain trace amounts of disseminated subhedral to euhedral pyrite.

2) Ash to Lapilli Tuff - Colour typically beige to light earthy brown when fresh, white to beige when weathered. Typically much softer than the rhyolite flows, and usually displays a strongly oriented fabric. This fabric appears as a distinct foliation and may represent primary bedding surfaces. Fragment abundance Is highly variable from nil to IS-20%, with fragments being usually of rhyolitic composition. In several locations (eg. 13+OOS 5+80W, 12+OOS 4+90W, 15+OOS 2+75W, etc.) rusty-weathering patches in the size and shape of the lapilli fragments were observed, and may represent sulphide fragments. The lapilli fragments are up to 10cm In size and are typically elongated parallel to the foliation. This unit has only been seen In the western portion of the claim group, south of line 8+OOS.

3) Debris Flow - Essentially a heterolithic fragmental unit with mafic/chloritic matrix. Colour dark green when weathered dark green to black when fresh, generally weakly to moderately magnetic, son to very son. Unit usually displays a fragmental texture with variable abundances of lithic fragments all matrix - to grain - supported in a massive chloritic matrix.

The matrix is foliated In some localities, and the unit was observed to be bedded (1m thick beds) in Trench 10-91. Lithic fragments are of variable sizes from 3-5mm up to 1 -2m (Trench 6-91), and are composed of either rhyolite, argillite, chert, or rare magnetite. One lithic composition may dominate In any one local (eg. rhyolite in Trench 7-91, cherts in Trench 16-91). Up to 5*K disseminated pyrite can be found in this unit. The lithic fragments are usually sub-rounded to rounded in shape, possibly indicating a sedimentary process rather than explosive volcanic process.

NOTE: Upon initial recognition of this unit in Trench 7-91, the field name "Felsic Agglomerate' (alphanumeric code: 3R agg) was applied due to the dominance of porphyritic rhyolite fragments. This field name was then uniformly applied throughout the trenching and drilling program for the sake of consistency. While fragment abundance and composition varied, the recognition that the matrix composition remained constant was used as an Identification criteria. Subsequent to completion of the exploration program, discussions with other geologists led to the interpretation of a debris flow. The initial appellation remains unchanged on trench notes, drill logs and sections.

CHEMICAL SEDIMENTS

1) Upper Chert - Colour variable from white to grey to black when fresh, same when weathered. Very hard, variably textured unit with textures varying from massive to bedded to fragmental. These textures make correlations of specific sub-units (eg. bedded chert) difficult across more than 100-200m. The fragmental-textured chert (alphanumeric code: 5 Cht-Brx) occurs in three basic formats: with a sulphide matrix, with a silica matrix, and with a magnetite matrix. In all cases, the unit is typically grain-supported with some instances of matrix-supported chert breccia being observed. The sulphide-matrix chert breccia consists typically of massive to weakly bedded pyrrhotite which may contain up to S-7% disseminated pyrite. These chert breccias usually grade into overlying Itthologles and show some preference for occurring near the lower reaches of the unit.

Interbedded throughout are clastic sediments (greywacke, argillite, graphitic argillite) which appear to occupy local basins, as correlations between dosely-spaced drill holes are difficult. These clastic sediments may represent episodes of turblditic deposition.

2) Variolitic Basalt - Colour light grey when fresh, same when weathered, typically moderately soft, non-magnetic. Characteristic of this unit is it's colour and presence of varioles. Variole abundance ranges up to IS-20% and variole size ranges up to 1-2cm. At times varioles coalesced into bands or patches of a very hard, siliceous material. Unit is weakly pillowed in places.

3) Lower Chert - Similar to Upper Cherts, but usually lacking the presence of any type of chert breccia. Unit typically much thinner than Upper Chert.

MAFIC METAVOLCANICS

Basalt - Colour medium to dark green when fresh, same when weathered, soft, non magnetic. Generally massive texture, but can be pillowed or contain pillow breccia in places.

INTRUSIVE SUITE

1) Granodlorite/Quartz Moonzonlte - Colour variable from pink to white on both fresh and weathered surfaces, massive texture, very hard. Typically feldspar-dominated and may contain up to S-5% disseminated biotite or hornblende(?). Several dikes of a (quartz)- feldspar porphyry occur throughout the property and are likely related to the larger pluton. Several dikes contain zoned plagioclase phenocrysts, possibly suggesting that they are sub-volcanic in nature.

2) Gabbro - Colour dark green when fresh and weathered, massive fine to medium grained texture. Unit is mafic-dominated, but some plagioclase can be seen In some locales.
