Dear Sirs:
Here is the brief synopsis you asked for:
Boutder liines The Long Lost Cold Mine
The Boulder Mine was so named by Minnesota prospectors who found high grade gold bearing boulder near the shaft site in 1896.
Photocopies of official reports of the Ontario Inspector of Mines are included in the attached proposal to sample and develop the long lost Boulder Mine. The reports to Government on this mine were made after the Inspector's visits in 1897 and 1898. At that time the access to the area was by boat from Rat Portage, Ontario or by boat from farm roads in Northern Minnesota through the waterways of Lake of the Woods.
Although photographs of the mine and mill buildings exist, numerous attempts by prospectors, mining companies and Ontario geologists to re-locate the mine ahve been unsuccessful.
The writer continued the work done by one of these mining exploration companies in an ardous attempt to find the Boulder Mine. Lands and Titles Office in Kenora had no record of the old survey map; neither did the Mines Branch or Archives in Toronto or Duluth, Minnesota. 52 claims were staked and prospected by our Syndicate during 1988 and 1989 covering an area of 2,000 acres without success.
Finally in September 1989 we discovered the original survey map in Ontario Forestry branch which showed the location of the old Boulder Gold Mine. Now we can do our sampling and assaying when the ground is dear of snow.
To understand the discovery difficulties one must know how the bush country can change in a century. Buildings rot away completely. Cement foundations disintegrate. New bush, now has grown into large trees; beaver dams create ponds and even lakes. Iron rusts away completely. But the shaft and dumps remain, now coverd with soil, trees and water.
When weather permits we will sample the veins along strike and make up our assay plan.
At least, after two years work, we know where the old Boulder gold mine is, and, if assays stand up, we will form a company to drill and develop the mine. Syndicate membes will be issued the vendors' stock in the new Company.

At the shaft it outcrops on elevated ground for a distance of a1 out 100 feet, run ning into Iqw ground in each direction and outcropping or becoming exposed again where the ground rises.
About 203 yards from the like and 100 feet above the water level, on location E281, a 41 by 8$ foot shaft has been sunk in the vein to a depth of 90 feet, and is being continued. Sinking was progressing it the rate of 11 feet |ier week with single-hand drillers working in three eight-hour shifts, with three men per shift.
There is 11 feet of quartz at the surface Mid quarts on three sides in the shaft.
The buildings consist of cooking snd sleep ing camps and stable. A uiannger's dwelling ii being built also. All buildings aro roomy, com'ortable and neatly built.
A dock is being constructed in a small, conveniently situated inlet at the lake. The steamer Poarl, with 42 feet keel, belonging to the mine, runs between theie and Rat Portage, a distance of 65 miles.
There is a vety good mill tite at the lake, with excellent- opportunities fur the trans portation of ore by gravity.
On October 22 I met Mr. Giffurd in Rat Portage, and was informed that mining operations hid been suspended for some lime, jwnding the installation of hoisting and air- coinprrssinx plants. These coniiit of the following machinery : An 8 by 12 inch du plex hoister; a six-drill Rand duplex com- preseor, with three No. 3 drills ; a 4 by 12 foot receiver ;' two 46 horse-power boilers ; a 30 hone-power saw mill engine, and a boiler of I ho same capacity and two duplex Snow jmiiipa.
The saw mill, which has a capacity »f 10.000 feet per day, is in running order. The saw mill is an almost essential feature of any mine which is situated at a considerable distance from a railway, as usually a large quantity of lumber is needed, and the expense of transportation is considerable. The loca tions are well wooded with fairly heavy timber, consisting of Norway piiio, spruce, poplar, etc.
The following mining work has been done : No, 1 aliaft, depth BO feet; No, 2 shaft. 1,000 feet east of No. 1 on the asms vein, depth 70 feet.
A new vein with favorable assay values had lieen discovered 30 feet east nf the *"sin vein while cutting out the foundation for the hoisting engine house.
Some additional building* have also been erected.

Considerable development work has been done at the Stella mine during the year, and
much information obtained regard- dnrtoti- ing the character of the ore bodies.
What wan believed last year to be- one vein liaa proven upon clearing and strip ping to lie the ex)>oiures of severs! parallel vcina crossing the property close together. Work has been done on three or four of theae.
On No. 1 vein the aliaft has been sunk to a depth of 60 feet, and temporarily discon tinued, after being properly fenced. The vein, which is similar to all tho other veins, consists of a cone of quartz and green schist mixed, with rather indefinite walls. Assays range from 4 to $H.

On No. 2 rein the aliaft has been aunk 65 feet, and discontinued for the prvaant, being pro]>erly secured at the surface to prevent accident. The vein clianged its dip rapidly at a short distance from the aurface ; at a drt>tb of 25 feet the ahaft went into the foot wall. At the bottom a drift waa carried west 1C feet, and from the end a cross-cut driven oath 40 feet, cutting the rein at a diiUnce of 3fi feet. Drifting was done on the vein for a distance of 10 feet west, the vein con- aiating of a zono of quarts and achiat five or six feet wide. The shaft waa full of water, but I got this information from Mr. Nell Csnipbel 1 , the manager. A small ahaft house lins liccn built.

1. History of Gold Exploration
1. (a) Gold at and near Kenora.
(b) Stock exchange. Rat Portage. Canp Bay
(c) Migration of prospectors to Cobalt 1904.
(d) Classical professional attitudes hindering successful gold (and
platinum?) ore discoveries in this area.
1. (a) Although a large nuriber of very high grade gold occurrences
have been found throughout the Kenora area and considerable
drilling has been done, no large mines have been developed.
The fact is that the most interesting occurrences are
enigmatic.
From the Cameron Lake Fault at Gogpaw Lake to the Robinson Lake
granite the following characteristics of gold-bearing quartz
veins are cxjiuuu to all occurrences:
- Contacts are undefined.
- Dips are unknown.
- Sigmoidal stretches of barren quartz intervene along strike.
- The veins are always parallel, sub-parallel or within long
(usually thin) bodies of QET». When within the veins wander
haphazardly from side to side (see Frobex sketch).
- Cross-cutting carbonate zones distract the geologist because
these zones carry low values; (from 0.02 to 0.07 oz. Au).
- No structure, especially shearing, is apparent.
- An interesting example of this is the Poirier showing 12
miles south of Sioux narrows where a long carbonate zone of
this sort trends N 45 degrees W whereas the main strike is N
31 degrees E. The highest values are right on highway 171 at
the intersection of the two zones.
- Striking parallel to the Dogpaw-Robinson Lake trend, but
separated by parallel trending ultramafics and ultrabasics,
is a series of gold showings (see Cedartree Geol. map). This
is probably what Kerrich calls 'secondary ponding1 . Although
the writer never saw any eclogites, i.e. garnets.
1. (b) There were so many gold discoveries made near and, mainly,
south of Rat: Portage (now Kenora) that the first exchange in
Canada was formed, "The Rat Portage Stock Exchange" where a
frenzy of trading was made in penny stocks. Sane of the
favourites were based on discoveries at Camp Bay. The Boulder,
Bully Bay, Combined Mines; and further north, Mikado, Regina,
Sultana, and perhaps another fifty with lesser prospects. Seme
production was made by all of the first-named, but the Lake of
the Woods provided a good route to "high-grade" production into
Minnesota and away from taxes, royalties and dividends.
1. (c) As a consequence faulty records were kept. To compound a sense
of failure in the area, the 1904 Cobalt silver rush siphoned
off the capable and experienced prospectors and after 1904
prospecting never recovered its original enthusiasm.
1. (d) The question has always been asked about the numerous gold
showings in the Kenora Mining Division "With all these gold
showings, why have there been no big mines found? With all
this smoke there must be fire!?"
The writer believes that his thesis that a tectonic event
caused by an early archaean overturn of a block of volcanics at
least eight miles cubed caused gold mineralization along the
exposure of the amphibolite-greenschist interface(ponding).
That this exposure extends from South of Robinson Lake to
Dogpaw Lake. That the 'ponding1 is always accompanied by CFP,
chronite, Au, bismuth and possible Pt.
If this event took place that it could account for many of the
gold occurrences in the Kenora area and possibly the gold in
Red Lake.

Southern extremity at Camp Bay, Highway 71 - sulphides -
sericite - see photos (page ) Earth's patents. (The resources
of the 2nd Bill Khox Prospecting Syndicate were inadequate to
do an age determination of the amphibolite hanging wall or a
delta 18 oxgen analysis of the quartz contiguous to the
amphibolite).
2. Prospecting by Bill Knox
2. (a) Seven years were spent 'down under* from a base in New Zealand doing Australia. Rji.
Sub-Antarctic, New Zealand and doing work on manganese seabed nodules. Three more
years on the Athabasca formation in Saskatchewan. A year in Guyana on the Rio
Rupununi. Then in 1983 we started work near the Cameron Lake fault, south of Kenora.
2. (b) Fort Knox Gold Resources Inc. was listed on TSE and financed by the (First) Bill Knox
Prospecting Syndicate with Inco's help. Drilling and other work was done at Caviar Lake
and on 200 claims in the Casa Berardi area of N. Quebec. The work was inconclusive.
The Cameron Lake fault area was chosen because it appeared to be a major structural
event. It was early archean. Nuinsco Mine appeared to have some potential and the area
was accessible and hospitable.
As Inco had taken over prospecting and as the author found himself redundant, he
resigned from the board to do his own prospecting.
Although some colours were panned on the old Virginia Mine on the Atikwa River (which
runs into Caviar Lake) too much work was done with too little knowledge of dips and
plunges. In addition the option was expensive and too much money was spent in
geological geophysical and geochemical surveys of a large area of the surrounding
country.
2. (c) The Gcmnissioner of Crown Lands gave an extension for assessment
work to be done on the Whitefish Bay claims. We found the
claims were improperly staked so we re-staked them and had the
- claims inspector come in. This resulted in an extra four months
credit for the Syndicate.
2
Meanwhile we had run a line N 31 ° E from quartz veining on the edge of 1 R • south of
Robinson Lake to join up with our original Camp Bay claims and the Barth option. We
staked a number of claims along this line.
The inspector of mines came in to examine our staking and gave us a dean bill of health.
We surveyed a road and landing site on whitefish Bay for a road into the Boulder Mine.

The author considers that the only mechanism to expose the ponding was to retain it in
situ and this could only be done if a block of ground would overturn. Such an overturn
would stabilize or relieve the underlying pressure and rf the overturn would be greater
than 180° the now-solidified ponding would be exposed at surface.

REE distribu tion in such serJmentery rocks are typical of patterns tor Aichean chemical seolmentary rocks. Locally, auriferous sedraentary rocks (e.g. Timiskaming) exhibit REE distri- butions which paralel abundances in neighbouring sub- volcanic-extrusive fetefc porphyries, basic2 volcanic rocks with background precious metal abundances (<2 ppb Au) have VO whole rock of 7%. to 10V compared to 5.5TU to 6.5%. for fresh basal. The enrichment in "O is attributed to uawator interaction at temperatures of <150rc. Enrichments in "O are also present in some fel- sic igneous rocks.
Hydrothermal veins within given regions have a nar row range of 5*0 quartz (12X. - Yeltowknite: 14%. - Tim- mins) and constant A (quartz-muscovite) implying fluids of metamorphic origin at 40O-50O*C — probably derived by outgassing at the greenschist-ampriiboUe transition.Waft-rocks are in oxygen isotope equilibrium with veins. Vein geometry requires hydrauic pressure > Ethostatic pressure tor fluid discharge along hydraulic fractures. This aliooo condition is consistent with a reservoir of ponded metamorphic fluids. FWng temperature determi nations on primary fluid indijsior» are in trie range 300 to 36trC; significant COfc is present
Wall-rocks of veins have a strong iron reduction ano maly (Fe*+/SFe - 0.92) compared to background (Fe^/SFe - 0.7). requiring the introduction of large vol umes of reductant in the hydrothermal solutions. Hydro- gen is probably the reductant involved, derived by disso ciation of rV> in equiibrium with the QFM system at high temperatures. REE Distribution in veins, plus positive Eu2* anomaies. confirm the reducing environment of ore deposition, and imply fluids at source in equiibrium with rocks of mafic to ultramafc composition. Redox and oxy- gen isotope anomalies correlate: both parameters give estimates for the water/rock ratio along conduits of >3:1.
HkjMemperatum reducing solutions may be critical far aqueous transport of Cr. NL W. Pd. and R which are al present at 10 times to 500 times background abun dances in gold-bearing veins.
In both vein and stratiform deposits. Au. Ag. and Pd average 20. 2. and 0.1 ppm respectively, compared to background abundances of 2.100. and 8 ppb in mafic igneous racks. This represents oonceiflmlimi factors of 10.000 for Au. 20 for Ag. and 10 for Pd reUbva to back ground. The relatively immobile elements Cr. Mi. and W may be significantly enriched in lodes, whereas the abun dant and mobile base metals Cu. Zn. Pb. and Co are con- certrated by only 1 times to 5 times. This separation may be accounted for if fluids are generated under condftJons of tow water/rock such that the absolute abundance of rare elements in solution is not constrained by sotubiity. whereas base-metal solute concentration is. Meta- rnprphic outgassing. where watemock may be -120. satisfies this condrUun. For the Timmins area smple cal- cutations give estimates for hydrothennal fluid volumes of ~90 km*, transport distances of -12 km. and Au solute concentrations of-20 no/ml.
From these data, it is beieved that the distinctive suites of metals in lode gold deposis versus massive base-metal sulphides reflect fundamentaly different properties of the hydrotherrnaJ systems in terms of source, temperature, ratio of hydrauic to lithostatic pres sure, water/rock ratio in source regions, and abundance of COj1-. The predominance of lode gold deposis in Ar- chean 'greenstone* Liultu may be accounted tor if geoth- ermal gradients were hi(her such that outgassing and ponrjng of metamorphic 1 tuids were more efficient, and if Hergraves model of an early gtobo oncompessing hydro sphere is correct, such that metamorphc fluids de bouched onto the seafloor.
IntroductionOne of the salient features of metal distribution in crustal rocks is the predominance of lode gold concentrations in Aichean 'greenstone' bete (Viljoen et al. 1970: Anhaeus- ser 1976; Anhaeusser and Button 1976; Hutchinson 1976: and Pretorius 1976). No completely satisfactory ex planation has been advanced to account for this secular phenomenon.
Lode gold deposits in Arohean 'greenstone' bete are represented by a number of strattgraphicaRy and struc turally distinctive types of auriferous concentrations. These todes may be present singly, but generaJty several
R.Kerrich
i. .s coexist within a mine or cluster of mines which con stitute a gold camp. Two of the most abundant types of concentrations are stratiform layers and hydrothermal veins. Stratiform layers are typically disposed at interflow horizons between mafic-uttramafic flows at the strati- graphic base of 'greenstone* belts. They have been inter preted as chemical sediments precipitated on the seafloorfrom 'volcanic exhalations' (Ridter 1970; Hutchin- son 1976 ; Fripp 1976). Hydrothermal veins transect di verse host rocks and are synchronous with or postdate deformation and metamorphism of 'greenstone' belts. They are considered to be the product of hydrothermal fluids discharging through conduits (Fyfe and Henley 1973): or derived from remobilization of metals from the stratiform layers into fractures during deformation and metamorphism (Anhaeusser 1976; Hutchinson 1976).
However, the properties, volumes, and sources of mineralizing solutions are not precisely understood for the distinctive types of gold lodes.
Whereas the distribution of a large suite of metals has been comprehensively delineated for some exam ples of base-metal deposits (Mercer 1976: Fryer and Hutchinson 1976). and extant metalliferous sedimentary rocks (Robertson 1978). the abundance of transition met als in lode gold deposits is not well documented. Only a limited suite of elements have been reported for a re stricted number of veins (Boyle 1961, 1976) and strati form-type (Fripp 1976) deposits. In addition, the mecha nism by which gold is separated from the abundant base metals is not well understood.
This paper presents a synthesis of determinations for some of the noble metals, transition metals, and other se lected elements (Au. Ag. Pd. Be. B. As. Sb. V. Cr, Co, Ni. Cu. Zn. Mo. Sn. W. Hg. Pb. and Th) on examples of gold- bearing hydrothermal veins and stratiform chemical sedi mentary rocks, together with 'background' mafic volcan- ics. from the Yeltowknife. Abitibi. and Uchi 'greenstone' belts. Canada. Comparisons are drawn with the distribu tion of metals in bas^metal deposits, and the problem of how gold is separated from abundant metals is ad dressed.
An attempt is made to characterize the dominant fea tures of chemical alteration in wall-rocks to both aurifer ous sedimentary rocks and veins by means of mass bal ance calculations. From this basis it is possible to discriminate between hydrothermal and wall-rock contri- butions to some of the transition metals in gold lodes.
The properties, source, volumes, and redox potential of fluids involved in gold mineralization have been evalu ated in each area by means of oxygen isotope analysis, combined with studies of oxidation state and fluid inclu sions. In particular, the oxygen isotope composition of auriferous chert is considered in relation to the thermal and isotope evolution of the oceans. The data are collec tively discussed in the context of the ambient crustal con ditions under which the gold deposits were generated: an hypothesis is presented for the secular variation of gold concentrations.
Geological SettingThe data presented in this paper are synthesized from studies of vein and stratiform lode gold deposits in four major auriferous provinces within Archean 'greenstone* belts of Canada. The provinces investigated include the Yellowknife area. Yeltowknife 'greenstone* belt. Northwest Territories: the Porcupine and Val d'Or-Malartic areas. Abitibi 'greenstone belt1: and Red Lake area. Uchi Sub- province within the Superior Province.
The Yellowknife 'greenstone' belt consists of a 6 km thick sequence of basalt and sedimentary rocks intruded by batholiths of granitic composition (Boyle 1961: Hen- derson and Brown 1966). Major rock units were em- placed over a relatively short duration at 2.8 Ga (Cum- ming and Tsong 1975). Gold-bearing quartz-carbonate veins are situated within major ductile shear zones that transect the volcanic stratigraphy at angles of 20" to 70° in the vertical plane (Kerrich and Allison 1978). Minor au riferous vein systems are located in fractures within the batholiths and sedimentary rocks. Material for this study was collected from major gold concentrations in the Campbell. Con. and Giant shear zone systems, from the Ptarmigan Mine, and from unmineralized areas of mafic volcanic rocks.
The Abitibi 'greenstone' belt is comprised of ultra- mafic flows: mafic to felsic voteanics with coeval intru sions: voteaniclastic sedimentary rocks: chemical sedi mentary rocks including banded iron formation: and several large intrusive batholiths (Goodwin and RkJter 1977). Low- to medium-grade greenschist fades meta morphism predominates.
The Porcupine area is located at the southwestern limits of the Abitibi 'greenstone* belt. The geology of the Porcupine area has most recently been described and evaluated by S.A. Ferguson et al. (1968). D.R. Pyke (1976). and J.F. Davies (1977). At least two stages of lode gold emplacement may be recognized. The first involves gold-bearing ferroan dolomite layers with subordinate chert and mafic or felsic tuff deposited as laterally exten sive chemical sediments at interflow horizons within the strafjgraphically lower part of the mafic volcanic se quence. The second stage is represented by major gold- bearing hydrothermal quartz-carbonate-albite-dravite veins which transected diverse host rocks including the carbonate chemical sediments (Fryer eta/. 1979).
A minimum age for mineralization and regional defor mation is provided by a Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron age of 2.69 Ga on the Matachewan diabase dikes which tran sect Kenoran fold structures and batholiths (Gates and Hurley 1973).
Rocks containing high precious-metal abundances occur in several distinctive settings in the Dome and Au- nor mines where material was collected (Holmes 1968). In this study data are reported for (1) carbonate chemical sedimentary rocks enveloped between mafic volcanic flows. (2) en enc/retonvein arrays in massive dacite-an-

Tuff Plus Chemical Sedimentary RocksTuffaceous rocks with variable proportions of admixed chemical sedimentary rocks are a typical feature of strati- graphic sections, in 'greenstone' belts. In contrast to pure chert which is > 90 percent SKD2. the tuffaceous rocks may be characterized by a significant aluminum content, and ratios of aluminum or titanium to the relatively immo bile trace elements (e.g. AI/Y. Ti/Zr) that to a first approxi mation reflect the chemical composition of the feteic. mafic, or ultramafic volcanic provenance. These rocks may be substantially enriched in gold as in the feteic tuf
faceous chert at the East Malartic mine (0.1 - 30 ppm). and the mafic tuffaceous carbonate at the Dome mine; or they may have low gold abundances, as in the example of the Townsite feteic tuffaceous chert at Yeltowknife (0.8 - 6ppb).
In the manner in which the chemical composition of such rocks broadly reflects the extent of dilution of the volcanic component by chemical sedimentary rocks, so the 518O of quartz is intermediate between It-values for the seawater-altered volcanic component and for pure chert. Thus, at the East Malartic mine it is possible to trace laterally in a single stratigraphic unit a progression

Your syndicate has staked 22 claims on the faulting system
which appears to be related to the gold structure where 1,625,000 tons
of gold-bearing ore averaging 0.20 oz. Au per ton are indicated at
Cameron Lake, South of Kenora, Ontario at Nuinsco, a division of Echo
Bay. (See Northern Miner handbook)
A strong magnetic oval anomaly which correlates nicely with
a conductive zone in an area of very sparse outcrop was mapped by the
previous owner, Lear Oil & Gas of U.S.A. Due to the dislocation caused
by the fall in the international price of oil, Lear Oil & Gas did no work to determine the value of the property.
Your 'Syndicate has re-staked these 22 claims. Linecutting
is almost completed and your Syndicate will be trenching as soon as
mapping of the conductive zone is completed. We will be sending you a
progress report sometime in August 1988.

INTRODUCTION:
On June 19th and 20th, 1988, Independent Exploration Services Ltd. of Winnipeg, Manitoba staked 23 contiguous mineral claims in the Rowan Lake area (Claim Map 6-2639, formerly M-2580) within the Kenora Mining Division of H.V. Ontario. On August 8th, 1988 the ownership of all 23 claims was transferred to V.T. Knox (Prospector's Lie. i H 11620) of Suite 601, 10 King Street B.; Toronto, Ontario; M5C 1C3.
The same property was previously owned by Lear Oil and Gas Corporation of Vancouver who, during December 1984, contracted Independent Exploration Services Ltd. of Winnipeg to conduct a line cutting and ground geophysical program consisting of a magnetometer and VLF electromagnetic survey. Attached report by L.C. Chastko (January, 1985) covers the details of these surveys. Due to a shortage of funds, no further work was performed by Lear Oil and Gas Corporation and the claims came open. The statements, conclusions and recommendations made by L.C. Chastko with regards to this property are therefore as valid now as they were then, and follow-up work is highly suggested.

The property encompasses an area of approx. 920 acres (372 hectares) and consists of claim K-1058268 to K- 1058290 incl.) as shown on attached Figure V. The cancelled numbers were the old claims of Lear Oil and Gas Corporation who was the previous owner of the property.
L GEOLOGY;
The consolidated rocks in the area are Early Precambrlan (Archean) in age and comprise a predominantly metavolcanlc-metasedimentary assemblage intruded by minor felsic and mafic bodies and the total assemblage is bounded by granitic rocks. The area has been glaciated. Approximately 5% to 10% of the area is comprised of outcrop of rock vith the remainder of the area being generally lightly overburdened.
The regional geology is eptly described by Mr. L. Kaye in the following excerpts from geological map P.831.
General Geology;The map-area is included in regional geological surveys by Burwash (1933) and Thomson (1935). An interpretation of the geology of part of the northern quarter of the map-area is given by Johnston (1960). A geological survey by Davles (1967) of the adjoining Atikwa Lake area extended south of the northern boundary of the present map-area to the Fourth Base Line, and included the area of Denmark Lake and the northwestern arm of Rowan Lake.
The metavolcanics are the oldest rocks within the map- area. They are products of a aafic-felsic volcanic cycle which was initiated by a vast effusion of pillowed and Missive flows of basalt and andeslte composition. The latter part of the cycle is represented by an assemblage of mafic, and felsic to Intermediate pyroclastics, and subordinate volcanogenic sediments. The volcanics and their associated sediments evidently accumulated in a dominantly aqueous depositional environment.
Pillowed mafic flows are present throughout much of the volcanic pile: on the map, they are seen to be conspicuously abundant north of Sullivan Bay, and in the area of Shingwak Lake. Porphyrltlc mafic flows containing large feldspar phenocrysts ('leopard rock') are useful locally as horizon markers. North of Rowan Lake and Isinglass Lake, large areas are underlain by recrystallized basalt and andeslte lavas that are fine-
to Medina-grained, dense, dark grey to black rocks that coHBonly exhibit relict pillow Tims. These rocks, described as 'blackjack lava* In the field, are particularly susceptible to fracturing and shattering.
Most of the rocks within the report area have been metamorphosed to Middle or upper greenschlst fades rank. Metamorphlc grade nay be higher near granitic intrusive contacts and here, Mafic lavas are commonly recrystallized, weakly foliated amphlbollte rocks.
The «afic to Intermediate tuffs (grain size), less than 2 mm) were Mapped as such on the basis of their dark green colour and high chloritic content. They are coMMonly banded, or layered, and May contain Isolated volcanic boMbs. Tuffs containing pyroclastlc fragments up to 64 MM in size, are described as laplIll-tuffs. Mafic to Intermediate tuffs and lapllll-tuffs occur interbedded with pillowed and Massive basalt and andesite flows, and with felsic pyroclastlc units. Compositional Mixtures of mafic and felsic pyroclastic Material are attributed to reworking of originally water-lain ash material. The tuffaceons sedimentary rocks are an integral part of the pyroclastic sequence and are best described as 'tnffwacke 1 (map unit 2n). Certain chlorite tuff zones contain abundant octahedral crystals of magnetite. A thin, weakly banded Magnetite- quartz iron formation occurs on an island in the northeastern part of Rowan Lake. Three occurrences of chert, noted on the map, are spatially associated with magnetite-bearing mafic tuffs. Mafic pyroclastic breccia consisting of large (size greater than 64 mm) clasts of basalt and scoria in a mafic tuff matrix is exposed about 2,000 feet (610 m) south of Bog Bay, near the western boundary of the map-area, and near the eastern boundary of the map-area in the vicinity of the tourist camp which is located about 3,000 feet (915 m) north-northwest of wampum Lake.
The coarse clasts of the felsic pyroclastic breccia rock units are mostly sub-rounded to sub-angular and composed of dacite to andesite porphyries; the matrix nay consist of various amounts of lapilli and tuff fragments! material with the result that contacts between the coarse and finer pyroclastic phases are gradational.
In the eastern part of Rowan Lake, felsic pyroclastlc breccia contains sub-angular to angular blocks ranging up to 2 feet (61 cm) in size. The distribution of coarse to fine felsic pyroclastics in this area suggests that the centre (vent) for this particular episode of volcanic eruption is probably located within 1 mile west or northwest of Wampum Lake.
Rhyollte and rhyodaclte flows are found Mainly In association with silicic tuff and lapilll-tuff units. The felsic volcanic unit Mapped as 'silicic tuff (quartz porphyry) 1 (Map unit 2b) map in part be intrusive. On the island near the east entrance of Sullivan Bay the quartz porphyry' grade into silicic lapilli-tuff and is evidently extrusive. At the western shore of Sullivan Bay, 'quartz porphyry 1 is shattered or fractured in a way that Implies a diatreme or subvolcanic explosive •ode of emplacement. Feldspar porphyry (Map unit 4b) and quartz-feldspar porphyry (nap unit 4c), Mapped as intrusive rocks. May in part be extrusive or cogenetic with felsic extrusive rocks. The large feldspar porphyry plug exposed at the west-central boundary of the Map-area, May be the remnant of a feeder pipe which supplied felsic Material to higher levels In the volcanic sequence.
The concordant to snbconcordant Mafic sills that intrude the Metavolcanlcs consist Mostly of Medium- to coarse grained MetaMorphosed gabbro and leucogabbro(anorthos1tic gabbro). The sills appear to coalesce with larger Masses of probably consanguinous Mafic and ultraMafic intrusive rocks in the northwestern part of the Map-area. On the northern shore of Isinglass Lake, Metaperidotite and uralitlzed Metapyroxenlte are probably cogenetic ultraMafic differentiates of the larger gabbro body with which they are associated.
A Mafic intrusive-Metavolcanic-granite coMplex occupies Most of the northern part of the Map-area between Rowan Lake and Rainnaker Lake; Mixed, hybrid, and contaminated rocks are characteristic features of the complex and the subdivision of the rocks into appropriate rock units is difficult on the present scale of Mapping. The complex includes large areas that are underlain by fine- to medium-grained hornblende diorite and melanocratic quartz diorite. The nature of the contact between the diorite and gabbro rock units is obscure; in general, the diorites grade into quartz-hornblende gabbro and gabbro rock types.
Melanocratic and gabbro rocks that are penetrated by granite dikes and veins are described as gabbro agmatite (Map unit 3g) or as granite agmatite (Map unit 5g) where the mafic xenolithic component is respectively greater of less than 50 percent. In many places on the Map, the distinction between these units may be arbitrary.
The Molan Lake Stock consists mostly of relatively fresh, coarse-grained porphyrltic quartz monzonite; syenitic and mafic contaminated phases exist mainly within the border zone west and north of Nolan Lake.
Structural Geology;
Interred for the axial
and which Is occupied tor~rne mosr part by the Nolan Lake quartz monzonite stock. A compressed, or other vise deforced, synclinal keel is localized through Sullivan Bay Intervening the two large anticlinal fold structures.
Complex ssall-scale folding is a characteristic feature of the banded or layered volcaniclastlc rocks exposed on islands and shores in the east-central and eastern parts of Rowan Lake. An analysis of these structures implies two phases of deformation. Most earlier-phase snail folds plunge STOW; they may be parasitic on the large regional folds for which a similar attitude of plunge may be Inferred. However, reversals in plunge direction recognized within the map-area map be the result of cross-folding or of drag-folding produced by faulting or shearing.
Kink bands and associated crenulation folds modify earlier small-scale structures and are related to a later phase of deformation. The kink bands trend in two directions, N65V and MSB.
Bast of Newman Lake, steeply plunging llneations suggest that complex fold structures in the vicinity have plunges that are vertical to subvertlcal. South trending, tight isoclinal folds are interpreted to exist in the northwestern part of the map-area, in the vicinity of Scott Bay.
The map shows the disposition of the important faults. A major zone of complex shearing, which strikes generally northwest through Gameron Lake, is probably an extension of a similar feature recognized west of the present map-area. Relative movements connected with the shearing are obscure. Three faults which strike northwest through Gameron Lake and which appear to be associated with the major shear zone, show right-hand strike-slip displacements.
Economic Geology;
Most of the known sulphide occurrences that contain significant copper-nickel Mineralization have been found In the north-central part of the nap-area In mafic flows and mafic to ultramafic Intrusive rocks. The sulphide mineralization occurs typically as disseminated pyrlte- pyrrhotlte with minor or trace amounts of chalcopyrite, pentlandlte, and bornite. The oxide mineral malachite, which is moderately widespread in the area, is a useful Indicator of copper mineralization. Favourable sites for mineralization are (1) in the ultra-mafic phases (peridotite-pyroxenlte) of the mafic Intrusive rocks,(2) in sheared zones developed at or near contacts between mafic Intrusive rocks and mafic volcanlcs, and(3) In fractured, fault-localized zones in recrystallized metavolcanlcs (map unit Id).
Investigation of the copper-nickel occurrences on the northern shore of Isinglass Lake has been mainly concentrated In the vicinity of the original showing which was discovered In the early 1950s and Is located about 2,300 feet north of the largest Island in the lake. According to a recent report by Canadian Nickel Company (Canico company report 1972), on exploration work performed under option on the R.V. Knappett property, the mineralization is irregularly distributed; no mineable deposits were outlined. The sulphide minerals (pyrrhotlte,pyrlte, chalcopyrite, and pentlandlte) occur as blebs in metapyroxenlte and to a lesser extent In metabasalt and metagabbro. Canico further report that the "nickel-copper mineralization is associated with irregular parts of a few conformable, vertically dipping lenses of metapyroxenite. Over a width of 150 feet a series of 1 to 20 feet thick dikes or lenses of metabasalt and metagabbro alternate with a series of 5 to 30 feet thick lenses of metapyroxenlte. The strike of these lenses Is llOo, and the dip 90o. The pyroxenite lenses plunge steeply to the west and east. The maximum strike length of the mineralization Is 300 feet". The average Cu/Ni ratio is reported to be 1:1 and "overall tenor of Cu-Hi grade Is low" Canico further reports that the best mineralized section encountered in one drill hole contained 0.51 percent copper and 0.40 percent nickel over 4 feet true width; in another drill hole the best section of mineralized metapyroxenite graded 0.28 percent copper and 0.32 percent nickel from 11 to 70 feet vertical depth. Including a section from 21 feet to 25.2 feet grading 0.47 percent copper and 0.66 percent nickel. Similar results were obtained from holes drilled in the vicinity in 1955 by Dome Exploration (Canada) Limited (Assessment Piles Research Office, Ontario Division of Mines, Toronto, Report Mo. 12). The best drill intersection
reported by Dome Exploration (Canada) Limited was 0.80 percent nickel over 10 feet, or 0.62 percent copper and 0.79 percent nickel over 15 feet.
Many of the sulphide showings and occurrences of malachite appear to be localized along the system of closely spaced faults that strike H20W in the vicinity of the northern arm of Rowan Lake. These and many other faults in the map-area evidently exert important structural controls for mineralization. Grab samples were taken by members of the present field party from several of the existing trenches on a sulphide showing which occurs in mafic metavolcanlcs in the north-central part of the map-area. The best result was from a grab sample taken from a trench in metabasalt located 4,200 feet south of Mile 32.6 (4th Base Line) and which on analysis by the Mineral Research Branch, Ontario Division of Mines was found to contain 2.47 percent copper and 0.04 ounces gold per ton. Disseminated to massive pyrrhotite/pyrlte, with minor visible chalcopyrlte,exists in metabasalt along the northern shore of the small lake located at the northwestern end of Loss Bay (of Rowan Lake). Three grab samples, taken at random by the author from a north-trending exploratory trench on the northeastern shore of the small lake, were analyzed by the Mineral Research Branch, Ontario Division of Mines. The samples yielded 0.11 percent copper; 0.5 percent copper, 0.06 percent nickel, and 0.04 percent zinc; and 0.35 percent copper, 0.01 ounces gold per ton, and trace silver, respectively.
A grab sample was taken by the author from a trench of disseminated pyrrhotite/pyrlte in mafic metavolcanics located on the eastern shore of the northern arm of Rowan Lake, 4,100 feet south of Mile 31.6 (4th Base Line); on analysis by the Mineral Research Branch, Ontario Division of Mines, the sample yielded 0.46 percent copper.
Several untested sulphide showings and occurrences of malachite staining were found by members of the field party; two grab samples taken from a 3-foot wide malachite-stained showing containing minor amounts of bornite and azurite, in siliclfied, pillowed metabasalt were submitted to the Mineral Research Branch Ontario Division of Mines and on analysis yielded 0.43 (4th Base Line).
Sulphide mineralization associated with drag folds in mafic metavolcanics was encountered by the author on the northeastern shore of a large Island in the northeastern shore of a large island in the north-central part of Rowan Lake; the showing is more precisely located at
9,500 feet south of Mile 29.1 (4th Base Line). The showing contains pyrrhotite, pyrlte, chalcopyrlte, magnetite, and bornlte, and it has previously been tested by two small pits. A grab sample taken by the author from one of the trenches was analyzed by the Mineral Research Branch, Ontario Division of Mines and was found to contain 0.21 percent copper and 0.52 percent zinc. The drag folds may be associated with an assumed fault that strikes M40B through the channel that separates the large island from the mainland. The author suggests that further exploration in the vicinity of the above mentioned sulphide showing would be justified.
A grab sample of malachite-stained talcose sericlte schist locally occurring in the shear zone that strikes southeast through Gameron Lake, was taken by the author and analyzed by the Mineral Research Branch, Ontario Division of Mines. The sample was found to contain 0.16 percent copper and a trace of gold.
At the Wampum deposit, gold is found in association with disseminated pyrite and narrow quartz-carbonate veins in schistose mafic metavolcanics. The small granite intrusion located east of the Wampum shaft also contains disseminated pyrlte. It is reported that there are two zones of mineralization about 1,000 feet apart (Assessment Files Research Office, Ontario Division of Mines, Toronto, File 63.2476; Tower 1942,p.-210). The Wampum shaft is located in the north zone which is situated on the northern limb of a steeply plunging synformal structure near the contact with a metagabbro sill. A grab sample of quartz material taken from the Wampum dump by the author yielded 0.07 ounce gold per ton on analysis by the Mineral Research Branch, Ontario Division of Mines.
Previous drilling in the 1960s by "Noranda Mines Limited on its Cameron Lake property intersected gold 'values' along a strike length of about 400 feet. The gold 'values' were reported (Moranda company files) to .occur in a highly silicified zone within carbonatized gabbro and sericitized tuff and to contain 0.219 ounce per ton gold across an unweighted average true width of 9.2 feet, representing an indicated 37,500 tons to a depth of 125 feet. Further gold 'values' are reported by Zahavy Mines Limited to have been Intersected by holes drilled in 1972 near the Noranda occurrence.
Elsewhere in the map-area, numerous occurrences of gold are associated with quartz and quartz-carbonate veins and sulphide-mineralized schists and shear zones In volcanic flows and pyroclastic rocks.
Of about 30 samples collected by the author during the field season and analyzed for gold content by the Mineral Research Branch, Ontario Division of Nines, the most significant was a chip sample taken across a width of approximately 6 feet (1.8 m) in rusty basalt schist which contains fine ramifying quartz stringers and some pyrlte. This sample contained 0.10 ounce gold per ton. The sample location, which is on patented ground (claim number K4712), is on the northern shore of an island, about 3,000 feet (915 m) southwest of the old shaft that was sunk on the Monte Cristo gold showings. Altered basalt and schistose tuff units display a continuity of strike between the latter gold showing and the above mentioned sample location and they may yet be found to contain economic gold deposits. At the Monte Cristo prospect, J.G. Cross reported (Thomson 1938) that the maximum width of auriferous rock at surface was determined as approximately 290 feet and that higher grade sections averaged 0.17 ounce of gold per ton. The best intersection in drill holes (drilled in 1937) was an interval of 15 feet averaging 0.20 ounce of gold per ton.
Complex fold structures and shear zones that exist within the map-area may act as favourable controls for. gold mineralization. Several of the known gold occurrences in the map-area that are spatially associated with such structures should be re-evaluated with respect to their gold potential.
It Is also recognized that gold and sulphide deposits in the map-area may be restricted to, or preferentially located along, certain volcanic stratigraphic horizons. In this respect, the current concept that many gold and sulphide deposits are formed by volcanlc-exhalatlve processes may provide and Important guideline for future exploration in the map-area. The pyroclastic rocks are favourable hosts for mineralization. Of significance are the gold occurrences associated with felsic pyroclastics on the western shore of Sullivan Bay and the gold occurrences associated with mafic flows and pyroclastics of the Monte Cristo prospect. Consideration of the nature of the volcanic stratigraphy would suggest that occurrences of gold may be discovered on the northern shore or beneath the waters of Sullivan Bay. ( Kaye, L., 1973.)

LOCAL GEOLOGY
According to O.D.M. Prelim. Map p.831 the claim group is underlain by felsic to intermediate metavolcanlcs consisting of tu££, lapilli-tuff and pyroclastic breccia. The sequence strikes in a B.S.B. direction and dips are near vertical.
A diorite body Intrudes the sequence and is shown to be approximately 2,000 feet wide. This diorite intrusion is located in the S.W. portion of the property. A S.E. - H.W. striking felsic dike cuts across the metavolcanlc sequence and diorite body In the S.W.portion of the property.
A major complex, intense H.W. - S.B. striking shear zone passes through the area immediately east of the property. This zone is believed to be related to numerous other structural features, including the features controlling the formation of the Muinsco Deposit. Two other major faults striking in a E.N.B. W.S.V. direction cross the property and show a slight displacement. These faults appear to be associated with the major shear zone and have been noted to be altered and mineralized with po py.
Post dating Mr. L. Kaye's map and marginal notes, exploration activities have multiplied considerably with the result of a significant gold mineralization being Intersected by Mulnsco-Lockwood approximately 1 kilometer north of Gameron Lake. (3 km. north of the Lear Oil & Gas Corporation Property). The property was previously drilled by Moranda Mines Ltd. and Zahavy Mines Limited on separate occasions. The property presently is in a development stage.
Subsequent exploration on the Monte Crlsto Property byMuinsco has also dramatically increased the mineralpotential of that zone.
The Lear Oil & Gas Corporation Property has considerable geological and structural similarities to the Muinsco Property located to the north.
1). Both properties are situated in close proximity to the strong H.W. - B.B. shear complex.
2).The Huinsco deposit is located within a shear zone probably related to the major shear. Several similar fault-shear zone traverse the Lear Oil & Gas Property.
3). Shearing and alterations are prevalent on 'both properties.

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS
Line Cutting
A 2.7 km. base line was established at a bearing of 90o AzlButh across the property. A total of 39.5 km. of picket lines were established at right angles to a base line at 100 meters Intervals. The picket lines were chained and picketed at 25 meter Intervals.
The extreme M.B. corner of the small lake located in the south central portion of the property was selected as a reference point for starting P.L. 0*00 Base Line was established at right angles to P.L. 0+00, 500 meters North of the shore line from the bay.
MAGNETOMETER SURVEYyn««-ynmentation; (Manufacturer's Specs. Appendix A.)Base Station:EDA PPM 400 Total Field Magnetometer.
Field Unit:EDA PPM 300 Total Field Magnetometer.
Both units are equipped with synchronized quartz crystal clocks and memory banks for data. Correction for diurnal variation is accomplished automatically through a cable hook-up of the field and base station units at the end of survey day.
The Base Station was located for the duration of the survey on approximately 0+50 meters Bast; 5+00 meters South (on lake shore near camp). Base Station sample intervals for PL. 0 + 00 West was at 15 second and changed to a 30 second Intervals for the remainder of the grid due to excessive battery drain in cold weather.
Field readings were taken at 12.5 meter intervals along all picket lines.
Presentation of Results;
The results of the magnetometer survey are presented on the accompanying contoured plan (Magnetometer Survey) at a scale of 1 en. to 25 meters.
13
Discussion off Results;
Approximately 80% of the property (eastern portion) is Magnetically flat with readings generally In the 59,600 to 59,800 gamna range. This area is underlain by the felslc to intermediate metavolcanic tuff and breccias. (P.831; Kaye,L.;1973.)
The vest central portions of the property yields a considerably higher and spiky magnetic signature. The background readings in this area are in the range of 60,000 to 60,300 gamma range with spikes up to 63,762
The south western portion of this magnetically high area has been mapped as being underlain by diorlte intrusive complex. (P.831; Kaye,L.;1973.) The magnetometer survey suggests that- the diorite intrusive is more extensive .than indicated by the geological map P.831. It appears that the area within the 60,000 gamma contour (1000 contour on field map)is probably underlain by the diorite Intrusive.
A series of sharp magnetic dips M.B. trending (8.1 to S.8) and S.B. trending (Al to A2) are believed to be representative of fault and/or shear zones.
Two of the magnetically lines troughs correspond with M.B. faults (84 * 85) indicated by geological map P.831.
The irregular magnetic pattern of the 60,000 gamma contour indicates faulting and displacement complicating the picture.

Preaentation of Results
The results of the VLP-Bn survey are presented as:1).Profiled. In Phase and Quadrature readings.2). Praser Filtered Data.
The results are plotted on accompanying plans at a scale of 1 CM. to 25 Meters.
Discussion of Results;
The conductive features within the survey area are More apparent on the plot of the Praser Filtered data. A number of relatively strong electromagnetic trends cross the property In a general B.S.B. direction conformable to the general geological formation. (PI to P6). These features probably represent sulflde rich horizons and possibly some shear zones.
A second set of conductive features trend in a N.B. direction. (31 - 88). These features are generally weaker and one believed to represent N.B. faults and shears. The projection of these features often appear to terminate and/or disrupt the B.S.B. (PI - F6) formational conductors. The strongest such features (N.B. direction) is located in the western portion of the property and straddle the base line. This feature matches a mapped fault. (Kaye/L.; P.831.)
SUMMARY;The proximity of the property to the Nulnsco development to the north coupled with the similarities of geology and structures of the Lear Oil & Corporation property are Incentive for further exploration for gold.
The magnetometer and VLF-BM surveys have not provided a singular target for further exploration but have outlined a series of targets of considerable interest for gold mineralization.
The ragged 60,000 gamma contour (1000 gammas on plan) appears to outline on area underlain by a diorlte intrusive. The raggedness of the 60,000 gamma contour, the magnetically low troughs and the pattern of VLF-BM conductivity suggest a complex pattern of faults and shearing in the area. Several notable coincidental VLF- EM conductors and magnetically low trough areas correspond with mapped fault zones. ( 34 & 35.) The regional pattern of N.B. - S.W. shearing and faulting and N.W. - S.B. shearing and faulting is substantiated and appears prevalent.
15
TARGET AREAS OF INTEREST:
1). Bearing In mind the dlorlte Intrusion the contact with the volcanlcs and the cross-cutting N.E. - S.V. (31 to 35) and M.V. - S.B. (Al 4 A2) faults and shears In the western portion of the property are of considerable Interest for fold Mineralization.
2). Two other N.E. - S.V. (36 ft 87) breaks are Indicatedby the VLP-
B» survey In the central portion and eastern portion ofthe property.
3). The strong length W.N.V. - B.8.B. (PI - P6) fomtlonal trends believed to be sulfIde rich are good target areas bearing In mind that th base •etal potential as well as gold potential of these zones.
16
CONCLUSIONS;
The Magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys have been successful in delineating a number of target areas of potential gold and base Metal Mineralization. PriMe areas of potential gold Mineralization are:
1). The contact area of the diorlte intrusion in the western portion of the property and the nuMerous E.N.E. - W.S.V. (81 to 85) shear structures cutting the Metavolcanic and Intrusions.
2). Other M.E. - S.V. (86 - 88) breaks indicated by the VLF-EM and Magnetometer Survey.
3). The strong "forMational" VLF-EM conductors B.8.E. and V.N.V. (Fl - F6) trending across the property bearing in Mind the base Metal as veil as gold potential.
17
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Phase II
1). The entire property be napped in detail.
2). The area be prospected with emphasis being placed on the dlorlte intrusions metavolcanic contact area and the numerous indicated shears.
3). Rock chip samples be taken systematically along the indicated fault/shear zones. Samples should be analyzed for gold as well as other metals. Most geochemlcal firms provide good package analysis.
4). Soil samples taken in a systematic fashion could be submitted for geochemlcal analysis could prove valuable in delineating features for further exploration.
Phase III
The analysis of the results of this above program should narrow the selection of target areas for possible further testing requiring stripping, trenching and/or diamond drilling.

BACK HOE WORK *"
i^CEfiTiyES OFFICE
The operation was conducted by Fred Moore, proprietor of Roughriders Contractors of Gimley, Manitoba. The back hoe was rented from Mr. Al Penner of Sioux Narrows, Ontario. Mr. Moore brought 3 men from Gimley;
$Fred Moore (Roughriders)
Payment on contract 8,000.00
Al Penner 2,000.00
WORK DONE
In the area where the work was performed there are frost-heaved sulphide-bearing boulders. The work was concentrated on a strong co-related magnetic and electromagnetic anomaly. It was assumed erroneously that bedrock would be within 12 ft. of surface. From 400 W + 150 N approximately eastward for a length of 100 ft. and an average width of 10 ft. and an average depth of 10 ft. was stripped and trenched. Pyritiferous tuff boulders were exposed. These were crushed, roasted and panned but no colours were seen.
An amphibolite boulder containing up to 5% pyrrhotite was unearthed. Dimethyline glyoxime test showed no nickel reaction. The trench was probed along its length to a depth of an extra two feet, so that at least over the coincidentally high mag. and E/M response the sulphides causing this appear to be barren but no actual bedrock was uncovered, that is, to a depth of 12 feet.
UNECUTTING
The area had been gridded, VLF-EM and mag surveys performed by L.C. Chastko of Independent Exploration Services Ltd. in 1984. Mr. Horst Petak, of the same firm was given the job of brushing out the old lines and re-picketing, so that the area could be prospected and mapped. This was done during the autumn of 1987.
During the course of prospecting numerous occurrences of pyrite and pyrrhotite were noted. All of these showed no values of gold or nickel values.

The PPM-350 is the latest addition to EDA's OMNIMAC*™ series of magnetometers and gradiometers.lt is engineered to provide users with the latest state-of-the-art advances in microprocessor technology, including many features that are unique in the field.
V f»•»•*. Major benefits and features Include:• Significant increase in productivity• Lowered survey costs• Automatic diurnal correction• Programmable grid coordinates• Highly reproduceable data• Ergonomic design• Simplified fieldwork• Computer-compatible
Description Functions Features and BenefitsThe EDA OMNIMAC PPM-350 is a high-technology, proton precession total field magnetometer that measures and records the earth's magnetic field at the simple touch of a key. It identifies and records the location, time of each measurement, computes the statistical error, and records the decay and strength of the signal being measured.The PPM-350 is a microprocessor- based system and employs a memory magnetometer concept pioneered by EDA.Packaged in a compact lightweight rugged housing, the PPM-350 in- cgrnorates ergonomic-design
jres that provide maximum , nfort and ease-of-operation in
the field. It is used in a chest- mounted mode with a shoulder- harness. It has a large Liquid Crystal Display for easy reading, even in direct sunlight and its oversized touch-sensitive keyboard permits cold-weather operation without having to remove gloves.
In a typical field survey operation, the PPM-350 can perform all of the following functions:• A visual readout and storage of
the following information in an absolutely secure memory that prevents data loss or tampering:- total magnetic field
magnitude- time of measurement- grid coordinates for every
reading- statistical error of total field
reading- signal strength and decay
measurement• Users have a choice of three
Input, or data storage, modes:- manual record- spot record- automatic update record
• Users also have a choice of three output modes-.- to a DCU-200 magnetic
cassette recorder- to a DCU-040 or DCU-400
thermal printer- to any RS-232C-compatible
microcomputer• Each reading is automatically
assigned a record number which can also be used to identify loca tions of measurements taken off the grid. This also serves to recall data, as well, simply by key ing in the record number.
• Sub-grid coordinates and posi tion up-date are given, permit ting more detailed study within the main grid, without altering main grid data.
• Many readings can be taken at one point to verify a reading, without updating the position.
than
Productivity up, costs Down Users of the OMNIMAC PPM-350 can enjoy in creases in survey produc tivity by as much as 50% because of the solid-state
.-* features that are designed into it This increase in pro ductivity, with resultant tower survey costs, is made possible because it enables the operator to take measurements faster and with greater accuracy
] techniques permit This, in turn, allows the survey operator to spend more time in the field surveying significantly more area than would be otherwise possible.Automatic Diurnal correction Diurnal variations are corrected automatically and in just a few minutes, instead of the two or three hours required in manual operation. The raw total field data collected and stored in the PPM-350 is corrected by the PPM-400 Base Station Magnetometer through a single cable link. Using the linear interpolation method, corrected data is produced faster and more accurately, because the possibility of human error is reduced.Programmable Grid coordinates Measurements are also made faster and more accurately because the location of each reading is taken automatically on an incremental basis, and recorded along with the time of that measurement. An additional benefit of this feature is that it can provide the basis for computer plotting to obtain survey profiles.Highly Reproduceable Data The PPM-350 provides users with the highest confidence level in the
^7, j;;;;m
industry. Its highly reproduceabte data is a result of four leading- edge design features that eliminate the need for taking multiple readings:- An exclusive Signal Processing
Technique*- Constant Energy Polarization
that maintains equal energy to the sensor even when the main battery supply decreases
- Sensitivity to ±0.02 gamma that ensures repeatability of readings
- Automatic Fine-Tuning that takes the previous reading as the base for the next
Ergonomlc DesignOnor^or comfort and efficiency v. rime considerations in the oesign of the new PPM-350. It is lightweight and is encased in a rugged housing that permits operation in a wide variety of ftekJ conditions. The oversize keyboard enables the operator to take measurements without removing gloves. Large LCD's make reading much easier, even in bright sunlightFieldwork Simplified Since each reading is automatically stored in a non-volatile memory, the need to make handwritten notebook entries on total fieldmagnitude, time of reading, line and station numbers, etc is eliminated. This reduces the need for notebook usage by the operator, thereby improving pro ductivity. Also, it allows field surveys to be made under all weather conditions.C jter Compatible An ^A OMNIMAC systems can in terface with any computer using RS-232C standard. This enables generation of profiles, contour maps, etc
•Patent Pending
Other Features• Data Recall. Daily readings can
be recalled either by record number or in sequence.
• Non-Volatile Memory. A lithium battery with a life-expectancy of 4 years provides total protection of data stored in memory and of the real-time dock in case the primary battery runs down or is removed.
• Environmental Dependability. PPM-350 operates in temperature extremes of -35°C to 55°C At-25°C. a heater automatically activates to ensure LCD perfor mance. Environmental sealing allows operation in very high humidity and in driving rain.
• Higher Gradient Tolerance. More accurate readings are obtained because the PPM-350's optimized sensor geometry and reduced size result in higher tolerances to local gradients.
• Power Supply versatility. Users can choose from a variety of power packages:- rechargeable sealed lead add
battery belt or cartridge - disposable alkaline "C" cell
battery belt or cartridge. Error Analysis. This unique feature is a great time saver because the calculation of the statistical error of each reading lets the operator make an on- the-spot decision whether that reading should be stored or not. Memory Upgrade. The stan dard memory of 1383 readings is optionally expandable up to 2555 readings.Decimal Spacing. Intermediate readings can be stored every 12.5 units, while using the usual 25Hjnit station interval. internal Real-Time Clock. More accurate and reliable measure ments can be made and stored because time is taken to the nearest second. Also, the operator need not wear a wrist- watch, which is a common and often overlooked source of magnetic interference.
