SUMMARY

The Bear Lake property comprises of 13 stated mining claims, held

in good standing by T. Beckett and A Salo , located in MeGarry and

Mcvittie Tp in northeastern Ontario.

From June to December, 1993, T Beckett, undertook an exploration

project which consisted of linecutting, prospecting, a 'beep mat 1

survey, geological mapping and sampling over the lands and shorelines

of the Bear Lake property The purpose of the project was to examine

the property using modern techniques to provide an updated assessment

of the property Past work likely done in the 1930's and 1940's revealed

many old trenches and some drill casings, which there is not any records

of

Two separate copper occurences were found during this project as well as

a large alteration zone several hundred meters long. This zone, thus

far has revealed copper mineralization as well as elevated gold levels.

Many old trenches as well as drill casings were located here, though no

record of past work was ever found.

In total, 45 bush days have been devoted to this project, (thus far),

which has been funded by an Ontario Prosector's grant, (O P.A.P.)

A winter geophysics project will begin, following the completion of

this project.

INTRODUCTION

The Bear Lake Property consists of 13 staked mining claims in good

standing located in McGarry and Mcvittie tp Larder Lake Mining

Division.

The 1993 project consisted of linecutting, prospecting, a 'beep mat 1

survey, geological mapping, sampling and a winter project of geophysics

over Bear Lake which has yet to be completed

Work on the project began in late June,1993 and continued through the

summer and fall, concluding in December,1993.

LOCATION AND ACCESS;

The 13 claim property called 'Bear Lake Propeerty 1 is located in McGarry

and Mcvittie Tp Ontario, Larder Lake Mining Division and within the

Kirkland Lake Resident Geologist's Area. The N.T-S. co-ordinates are

32D/04 (Larder Lake Sheet), the latitude is 48 09' and the longitude

is 79 37'- The property lies approximately 2 miles northwest of

Virginiatown and is located on the east end of Bear Lake, to the north

of Bear Lake, to Beaver Lake and north along Bear Creek. There are

12 claims which lie in McGarry Tp. and l claim in Mcvittie Tp.

Access to the property is gained by water, heading east on Bear Lake

from the Bear Lake picnic area off Highway#66. A boat launch is located

here. AdcasB :by land can be gained from Virginiatown North, to the

Cheminis Lumber Road which is suitable for truck access in the summer,

part way. Access from there, can be continued by foot, crossing a

bridge at Bear Creek, then heading to the power line.

MINING CLAIMS;

The property consists of 13 mining claims, in good standing, held

503; by T. Beckett and 50% by A. Salo. Some surface rights of the claims

are held by the Township of McGarry The mining claims covered in

this report included:

L1152304-305; L1185526-530; L1185631-633; L11887098-100.

LOCAL RESOURCES;

WATER; Bear Lake and Beaver Lake could sustain a mining or milling

operation, though water from these lakes is not likely potable.

An artesian well flows year-round, just west of the picnic area

at Bear Lake. This water is potable.

POWER: Ontario Hydo's double powerline cuts through the middle of

the claim group. This power line services Virginiatown and

the Kerr Mine.

TRANSPORTATION t Highway #66 runs east-west past the south west shore

of Bear Lake to Virginiatown and on into Quebec to

the east and into Kirkland Lake to the west, approxi

mately 50 km. away

INFRASTRUCTURE; The Kerr Mine could provide milling services for

a developing mine.

PREVIOUS WORK;

Since the discovery of gold at what is now the Kerr Mine, in 1906,

a rash of prospecting occurred in the area, most of which was never

recorded. Several old trenches and drill casings on the property

confirm past work, yet no records of it was ever found. The list

below outlines the work recorded on the : property in the past:

1937 : Prospecting unknown; prospecting of Bear Lake Area

1937-38: Ivan Larder Mines; rock trenching surface work

1967: D. Campbell DDH(1) ; rock trenching; assaying -0.02 oz/t Au.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY: (after Thomson. 1941)

The Larder Lake area represented northeastern Ontario's first gold rush, with the discovery of gold in 1906. The subsequent develop ment of the the area's gold mines include the Laguerre, the Kerr, the Omega, the Cheminis, the Chesterville and the Armistice

The area's rocks consist of Pre-cambrian aged volcanics, sediments, and intrusives, Keewatin acid and basic volcanic;flows, overlain by Timiskaming sediments, and acidic volcanics. Intermixed sediments and volcanics of Timiskaming age lie unconformably over Keewatin volcanics. Both series are cut by Algoman-aged intrusives which consists of syenites, porphyry and lamporphyres. Sediments of Cobalt age overlie the intrusives , volcanics and sedimentary groups uncon^ formably.

All pre-Cobalt strata are folded to near vertical position and are overturned in places. In most cases, strata c f Timiskaming age face south across the entire belt, from Kenogami to Larder Lake.

The Larder Lake break marks the southern contact of Timiskaming series through the area. The break persists for approximately 150 miles into the Cadillac-Malartic fault system. The fault consists of sheared and altered zones up to several hundred feet across in width and parallel shear zones may occur off the break. Talc chlorite schist marks the fault but a large portion of the zone has been subjected to siliceous carbonate replacement. The rocks adjacxent to the fault are sheared, carbonatized, drag-folded and generally greatly altered.

The Spectacle Lake-Kerr Addison anticline fold axis runs through Bear Lake in McGarry-McVittie tp., cutting the Keewatin volcanics which lie between the north and south synclinal bands of Timiskaming sediments. This fold pitches to the east steeply, which accounts for the gradual disappearence of Keewatin volcanics to the east.

The most important gold deposits lie along a belt of Timiskaming volcanics in the vicinity of a strongly sheared and carbonatized zone near the break. Zones of shearing or faulting unrelated to the

l 7

REGIONAL GEOLOGY: (Confd)

break, may yield gold mineralization, as seen at the Thib and Laguere

Mines.

Gold is the only metal of economic importance in the area thus far.

Gold deposits have been found to exist in several types of deposits.

These are: fissure or composite quartz veins; quartz stockwork deposits

in dolomite; quartz-sulfide deposits in tuffs or volcanics; sulphide

bodies without much quartz; gold-bearing talc chlorite schist; and

a mineralized dike.

SAMPLING:

A total of 17 samples were collected throughout the project and

assayed at various locations. Special thanks to Noranda Exploration

for their assistance in the assaying of thirteen of these samples

Samples were assayed for gold, some of the samples were assayed for

silver, copper and zinc and an occasional sample assayed for platinium.

No anomolous values were found, however several elevated levels did

occur In particular, a 140 Au ppb was.found in a pyritic. quartz-rich

conglomerate A few highly altered sediments did return a 65 ppb Au

as well Elevated copper and zinc values were also noted

The elevated levels were found within sheared zones related either

to structural activity or contact zones. These areas should be

systematically sampled an assayed to determine the areas potential

for econmical deposits.

Sample locations can be found on both the 'Detailed Geology 1 map

and the 'Prospecting .Grid 1 map. The elevated gold values have

also been plotted.

LINECUTTING;

Approximately 1.6, miles of line was cut and picketed, from line

7W to the eastern claim line of patented claim 11982. In total,

14 lines were cut between the power line and Bear Lake.

Inially lines were cut 100m apart, however after examinations of

the ground, lines were then cut between the 100m spacings, to make

the cuts 50m apart. As well, the middle claim line was also cut,

and picketed as 9+75 and the westerly claim boundary cut for adequate

coverage.. The grid was used for a geological and beep mat surveys and

will be used for a winter geophysics program.

PROSPECTING:

A total of 14 days were devoted to prospecting during this project.

Two days were spent prior to any other work of this project beginning.

These days were used to refamilarize the author with the property,

examine trenches and zones of interest and to re-establish the old

grid, (clear alders, clear fallen trees, repair and replace pickets).

Following the establishment of a grid from the power line south to

Bear Lake and the 'beep mat 1 survey, six days were devoted to follow

up conductive and magnetic responses from the beep mat survey.

Most of this time was spent uncovering overburden to bedrock.

The final six days of prospecting were dedicated to following up

airborne survey responses with ground recconnaissance work. Most

of the was spent uncovering outcrop and examining it within the

zones of interest.

Two separate copper occurences were located as a result of prospecting,

as well as an interesting alteration zone.

Further discussions of the results of the time spent prospecting,

can be found in the prospecting report.

BEEP MAT SURVEY:

Following the re-establishment of the old grid and the completion

of the new grid south of the power line to Bear Lake, a 'beep mat'

f l (M

BEEP MAT SURVEY; (Cont'd)

survey was performed over the entire property. A total of seven days

were devoted to this survey.

The 'beep mat 1 is useful in finding surficial or near surficial

conductors and magnetics related to gold, base metal and iron-rich

deposits. It consists of a detector incased in a tough, water proof

plastic shell, which drags along the surface of the ground. A

cable from the detector to the instrument connects the two. The in

strument is strapped to the chest of the operator, for easy access to

a digitized readout and the controls. The readout meter is equipped

with two buzzers, one a low pitched buzzer, activated when there is a

10 herz difference on the conductive side. The other buzzer is a

high p;A.t.ch. sound, activated when a 640 herz difference occurs on the

magnetic sensor.

The sensitivity of the instrument can be changed on both conductive

and magnetic responses at the press of a button. The frequency of

the instmurment can be changed from frequency variation to absolute

frequency at the touch of a button.

The instrument is effective in detection of conductive or magnetic

material within a meter of the surface. The instrument requires a

warm up time of l hour prior to a survey and requires reinializing

after every 15 minutes of use. It operates on a rechargable battery

and be charged from a 110 volt outlet or a 12 volt battery.

All established grid lines were covered during the survey, as well as

trails, lake shores and areas between lines in thick bush. Once a

response by the instrument occurred it was rechectaad and the surround

ing area was check by the instrument. Outcrop was examined, if no

outcrop was present, the area was uncovered where possible to examine

near surface outcrop. If outcrop wasn't found quickly, the response

was recorded and left for future examination. It was important to

keep the instrument moving, for maximum coverage.

Generally the instrument operated well, though it became cumbersome

in thick brush.

BEEP MAT SURVEY;(Cont'd)

The results of the 'beep mat 1 survey are presented in an accompanying

map. The map also explains a possible reason for the response. In

some cases, outcrop could not be reached at an occurence, due to thick

overburden, in which case it was assumed that the response was caused

by boulders or conductive clays or minerals. These areas may still

be of importance and they were recorded as an overburden response.

The beep mat survey initially outlined two separate copper occurences.

The first occurence responded as a series of conductive responses by

the 'beep mat' and after stripping away overburden and prospecting,

the occurence was found. Two separate veins of quartz carbonate with

chalcopyrite, pyrite, malachite mineralization uncovered. The veins

disappeared into water at one end and dipped into thick overburden at

the other. This occurence is located at 3W 100N

The second occurence is located at 10W 550N. The 'beep mat* gave a

conductive response which later after prospecting, uncovered a quartz

vein containing chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite and malachite. The

vein is a maximum thickness of 4 inches and disappears into thick

overburden at both ends.

The 'beep mat ' appears to respond to copper mineralization very

well. The instrument also gave weak responses over carbonated or

altered rock. This may be due to an increase in conductive material

in this rock not necessarily seen by the human eye. Possibly, as well,

the response could be due to mineralization at depth in these zones.

PROPERTY GEOLOGY;

The property is underlain by tholeiitic basalts of the kenojevis

group unconformably overlain by alkalic volcanics and sedimentary

siltstones, conglomerates, arkose and quartzites all of Timiskaming

age. Late intrusives of Algoman age occur along the western portion

of the claim group. These rocks include syenite and syenite porphyry.

The rocks of the Algoman group outcrop along the western shorelines

of Bear Lake and are for the most part porphyritic- A red to brown

matrix with feldspar (albite) phenocrysts make up this rock type.

Most of the rock appears fresh and unaltered except when it occurs

near a contact or fault zone. The syenite may then appear sheared

or carbonatized The rock can be sufficiently altered to a secondary

rock type (carbonate) or may resemble another rock type. At the

contact between syenite porphyry and basalts at lines HW and 11 + 50.

the contacted rock resembles a trachytic flow. This contact area

is a promising target for mineralization. Carbonatizes sediments

here have revealed pyritic mineralization. Strike faulting along the

south shore of Bear Lake has caused syenite porphyry to become soft

and carbonatized. The contact between syenite porphyry and basalt

on the big island, has produced carbonatized and pyritic syenite

and the rock in places appears trachytic.

The Timiskaming group sediments cover the northeastern portion of Bear

Lake and are believed to have been formed 2,690 million years ago,

(Jensen, 1982) They were formed in a fluviatile and submarine slope

environment and represent a period of tension stresses. Several

different depositional cycles may have occurred and it becomes difficult

to distinguish one strata from another.

Timiskaming sediments represented here occur along and south of the

power line to Bear Lake..Conglomerates are most abundant here, with

varying sized pebbles and boulders within the rock composed of chert,

quartz, feldspars, jasper and occasionally fushite. The conglomerate's

fragments may appear abundantly or may not appear at all, which

cases the rock is whatever the matrix dictates. The conglomerate

becomes of economic interest at line 11-t-SOW, s tat ions 25S and 505 .

Here the matrix becomes quartz rich and heavily pyritic. assay values

have recorded elevated gold values, as high as 140 ppb.

( 13)

PROPERTY GEOLOGY: (Confd)

These elevated levels may be a result of shearing, caused by the proximity to the contact with Keewatin basalts.

The remaining rocks of Timiskaming age found between the power line and Bear Lake, include a siltstone, a bedded strata and a talc-chlorite schist All of these rocks have undergone intense alteration, as a result of structural stresses through the area. Exact classification is impossible and only a general classification is possible. It is certain they are sediments and likely altered so intensely because they are less resistant than volcanics or intrusives. They bedded strata is likely sedimentary in origin rather than an ash origin as that of tuff, due to its field relationship to the surrounding rocks and therefore it is likely a product of intense shearing. It has a vertical or near vertical dip with distinct beds of slatey or chloritic fine grained material.

Volcanic rock of Keewatin age, outcrop as basalt along the south shore line of Bear Lake and can be found intermittently between the power line and north part of Bear Lake. They generally appear unaltered and massive, they may have a dark green, chlorite tinge in areas- Where they outcrop near to syenite porphyry contacts, they become mineralized with pyrite or occasionally chalcopyrite, they contain abundant quartz veining and sometimes may apear trachytic in contact zones such as occurs at lines 10W to 12W. Along the south shore of Bear Lake the occassional pillow can be found in the basalts. They appear well preserved and tops point north.

STRUCTURAL AND ECONOMIC GEOLOGY;

Past history of prominent ore zones within the region dictate the economic importance of structure to these zones. All the areas gold deposits occur within or adjacient to strong shear zones or breaks and these zones occur within or adjacient to zones of carbonatization Ore bodies in the area have been found in carbonate rock, basaltic lavas, syenite dikes and stocks, tuffs and talc chlorite schists All these ingrediences occur throughout the area south of thepower line and north of Bear Lake. Rocks here appear sheared and altered, carbonatization is

(14)

ECONOMIC AND STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY; (Confd)

prevalent and carbonated rocks, basalts syenites, tuffs (bedded strata)

and talc-chlorite schists all occur within this area. The cause of the

intense alteration here is difficult to determine and may be due to more

than one factor.

A transverse north-south fault bisectsthe east end of Bear Lake, cuts

along lines 7W and 8W and continues north into the property. Airborne-

data interprets this and very little outcrop along these lines or along

the south shore of Bear Lake can confirm this. Any alteration related

to this occur would appear localized. Possibly, this fault is related

to folding of the Spectacle Lake anticline, whose fold axis bisects

Keewatin volcanics to the south and Timiskaming sediments to the north.

This fault may have offset shearing to the east, suggesting it occured

after shearing occurred through this zone.

A more likely possible origin to the alteration through this zone,

would be a possible fault running east-west alongthe shoreline of Bear Lake

No outcrop exist here to substaniate this, airborne survey results do

however suggest the possibility. This also would explain the east-west

shearing north of the shoreline. Sediments through here appear greatly

altered, due to there lack of resistance, the basalts are more preserved

however, they may have been fractured and quartz-injected, leaving a criss

cross of quartz vienlets in some areas. Mineralization here includes

pyrite, chalcopyrite,and elevated gold levels.

Shearing and alteration may also be due in part, to contact zones. Three

contacts occur within the area south of the power line: sediments with

syenites; sediments with volcanics and syenites with volcanics. Alteration

may appear in a variety of forms dependant on the chemestry of the re

worked material of the surrounding rocks. These contact zones have also

a past history of economic importance.

An important note should be made of the pyritic, quartz-rich conglomerate

outcropping near the power line at the western portion of the group.

An assay result of 140 ppb occurred in this rock type. The mineralization

within the rock may be related to shearing as a result of faulting, or

it may be caused as a result of contacts in the area or it could be

ECONOMIC AND STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY; (Cont'd)

not related to either at all. This stratigraphic bed of conglomerate

may be auriferous due to a Witwatersrand-type deposit The horizon

should be stratigrahically mapped in areas outside zones of influence.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION;

The establishment of 50 m apart cut lines through the area south of the

power line to Bear Lake provided adequate control to locate accurately

the many old trenches and the complex nature of the rock. As well, the

grid will provide good coverage and control for the upcoming winter

geophysics project.

The 'beep mat survey was successful in providing the initial response

over two separate copper occurrences. With follow-up prospecting and

stripping of overburden, the 'beep mat 1 was found to be an effective

method in locating near surface discoveries It should be mentioned

as well, that some unexplained responses, due to overburden problems

may yet reveal new discoveries.

Although sampling and analysis did not reveal any anomolous showings,

it did reveal elevated gold levels in specific areas. In particular,

a 140 ppb response was found in a pyritic, quartz-rich conglomerate

Elevated gold, copper and zinc levels were found in shearing within

the area south of the power line.

Geological mapping identified three different aged rock types within

the surveyed area; an Algoman syenite intrusive; Timiskaming sediments;

and Keewatin basalts Alteration of these rocks occur along contact

zones and within sheared zones related to structural activity These

areas may be mineralized, be graphitic or the rock may be sufficiently

altered to resemble something else Carbonatization is prevalent within

these zones as well

It is reccommended that the pyritic quartz-rich conglomerate be mapped

in detail and if possible, the stratigraphic horizon of the conglomerate

be located and then sampled and assayed.

i i e, \

RECCOMMENDATIONS AND CONLUSION; (Cont'd)

Secondly, old trenching should be mucked out in strategic locations

and systematically sampled, assayed and mapped in detail It may

be necessary to employ some type of mechanical means of stripping.

A winter project of geophysics will begin over and north of Bear

Lake shortly- Ground magnetics and VLF-EM will be used. Dependant

on the outcome of these surveys, it may be useful to conduct a

horizontal loop survey over the area.
