5. Regional & Local Geology

Regional Geology

The Red Rock Pond property is part of the Avalon Zone of Eastern Newfoundland. This zone occupies the northern most portion of the Appalachian Avalonian Belt, a succession of late Proterozoic age volcanic, plutonic & volcanic sedimentary rocks, extending from the Avalon Peninsula, through the Atlantic provinces to the Carolinas and Northern Georgia, a distance of 3000 km (Williams, 1979).

Local Geology:

The geology of the property is comprised of the sedimentary Conception Group in contact with the Harbour Main Volcanics and overlain by the Cambrian Adeytown Group:

Conception Group:

Drook Formation: blue / gray / green siliceous siltstone & sandstone; silicified tuff.

Harbour Main Group:

Hhb member: Green to purple basaltic flows and pyroclastic rocks, clastic sedimentary rocks and gabbro.

Adeyton Group:

Chamberlains Brook formation: green and red shale or slate and thin limestone beds; manganiferous bed near base; spilitic cherty pillow lava.

Brigus Formation: red, pink and green shale or slate and thin limestone beds; basal conglomerate where formation rests directly on Precambrian rocks.

6. Exploration Program

During an unseasonably mild February 6th, 2016, a trip was made to the mineral licence to identify the location of the historic workings.

In a conversation with Gerald Kennedy, manager of quarry rights with the Department of Natural Resources and from the area, in fall 2015 he had mentioned there were what appeared to be open cuts along the cliff face at the top of the ridge.

From this field visit, it appears the old pits and trenches on the inside slope of the top of a small ridge toward Conception Bay and follows a bed striking 20º and dipping approximately 40º. The ore from these pits appears to be a mixture of manganese carbonates (principally rhodochrosite) and where weathered, manganese oxides (i.e., psilomelane and pyrolusite). In addition to the manganese present in the deposit, a 1 to 2 cm wide white and red vein or bed of barite is seen in the hanging wall of the of the deposit, further work is required to determine the significance of this occurrence. Location: 335,705 E, 5,266,730 N.

7. Conclusion and Recommendations

With the verification of the historic manganese workings and the high grade mineralization, there is a distinct possibility a deposit of economic significance occurs in the area.

The following is recommended for the property:

1. A high detail mapping of the property to identify contacts, faults, beds and other important geological features;

2. A geochemical survey using the modern ICP-34 + Au assay techniques, of each individual bed and potential veins, both “mineralized” and “non-mineralized”;

3. A thin section analysis of the oxide, carbonate and silicate zones of the ore;4. Detail mapping of the main beds identified by historical workings;5. Bulk sample of the high grade portions of the deposit.
