SUMMARY
Assessment work for 1987 on the Hall Group consisting of recon
naissance geological mapping and rock and silt sampling carried
out in June 1986 and July 1987 has been completed
o
The Hall Group is underlain by Sicker Group rocks in the south
and by Island Intrusions dioritic rocks in the north A magne
ti te hornblende rich border phase at least 125 m wide of the
Island Intrusions at their contact with the Sicker rocks contains
Au Ag Cu mineralized quartz veining up to 30 cm wide Results
from grab sampling range up to 340 ppb Au with up to 8 5 ppm Ag
and 18 617 ppm Cu Myra Formation rocks occurring in the south
western corner of the property have returned results of up to
4 66 Zn 0 13 Cu and 0 50 Pb with anomalous Au and Ag values
over narrow widths in numerous diamond drill holes on the adjacent Abermin Corp Lara property Two rock samples and one silt
sample from the area of Mount Hall mapped as Sediment Sill Unit
rocks returned weakly anomalous Au valuesn
o
o
o
J
Phase I exploration of the Hall Group is recommended to consist
of detailed and reconnaissance geological mapping and rock
sampling soil geochemistry and magnetometer VLF EM surveys at
an estimated cost of 60 000 Phase II detailed geological and
geophysical exploration is recommended at an estimated cost of
100 000 contingent upon favourable Phase I results

The Hall Group is located 8 km southwest of Ladysmith on NTS
mapsheet 92B 13 centred at about 48055 N latitude 123054 W
longitude in the Nanaimo tlining Division of British Columbia
Figure 1
Access to the property is via the Holland Lake road which turns
off from Highway 1 just north of Ladysmith The first 1 3 km is
a good paved road through the outskirts of Ladysmith the next
15 km to the north edge of the Hall property is a very rough
minimally maintained gravel and dirt road A further 7 km alonga steadily deteriorating road the southeast corner of the
property is reached Access to the southwest corner of the
claims is from Duncan up MacMillan Bloedel s Chemainus River
road to the Lara property access road 15 6 km west of Duncan A
distance of 9 7 km up the Lara property road system the Hall
Group is reached and the road suddenly becomes totally unmain
tained Several old logging roads exist in the NE NW SE and
SIl corners of the Hall property but they are all completelyundriveable and indeed in the case of the SW road virtuallyunwalkable due to extremely thick willow growth on the road
All things considered the best access to the Hall Group is byhelicopter

The following description of Sicker Group lithologies is based on
Muller s 1980a work as Massey s work is not yet completed
o The Nitinat Formation Unit 3 consists predominantly of
mafic volcanic rocks most commonly flow breccias or agglomerates including some massive flows and rare pillow basalts
Locally medium grained generally massive basaltic tuff is
interbedded wi th the flows The flow brecc ia is composed of
fragments of basalt up to 30 cm in length containing phenocrystsof uralitized pyroxene as well as amygdules both from I mm to
more than I cm in size in a matrix of finer grained similar
basalt Thin sections show pale green amphibole uralite is
replacing clinopyroxene Urali tized gabbroic to diod tic rocks
underlie and intrude the volcanics and are believed to represent
feeder dykes sills and magma chambers to the volcanics The
Nitinat Formation may be distinguished from the similar Karmutsen
Formation by the abundance of uralite phenocrysts a usual lack
of pillow basalts lack of dallasite alteration between pillowscharacteristic of the Karmutsen locally pervasive foliation
and lower greenschist or higher metamorphic grade

1 The Myra Formation Unit 4 mapped as McLaughlin Ridgeand or Cameron River Formations by Massey overlies the Nitinat
Formation possibly with minor unconformity In the Nitinat
Cameron River area the Myra Formation is made up of a lower
massive to widely banded basaltic tuff and breccia unit a middle
thinly banded albi te trachyte tuff and argillite unit and an
upper thick bedded medium grained albite trachyte tuff and
breccia unit In the lower unit crudely layered mottled maroon
and green volcaniclastic greywacke grit and breccia are
succeeded by beds of massive medium grained dark tuff up to 20 m
thick interlayered with thin bands of alternating light and dark
fine grained tuff with local fine to coarse breccias containingfragments of Nitinat Formation volcanics The middle unit
comprises a sequence of thinly interbedded light feldspathictuff albite trachyte or keratophyre composition and dark marine

JMapping by Fyles 1955 in the area north of Cowichan Lake
located a thick sequence of mainly massive green volcanics
Nitinat Formation overlain by a marker unit consisting of a
sequence of thin bedded cherty tuffs with several metres of
coarse breccia containing fragments of amygdaloidal volcanics
between it and the Nitinat Formation Overlying the marker unit
are grey to black feldspathic tuffs and argillaceous sediments
and minor breccias Muller 1980a considers the marker unit to
correspond to the lower unit of the Myra Formation while the
overlying unit of tuffs and sediments is correlated with the
middle unit and probably contains the upper unit as well

l In the Mount Sicker area the Myra Formation is more pervasivelydeformed and cons ists of well bedded mainly fels ic tuff and
breccia interbedded with black argillite and some greywacke The
rocks have been converted to quartz chlorite sericite schist in
steep and overturned isoclinal folds Breccia fragments are
commonly epidotized The Tyee Quartz Porphyry is a porphyriticrhyoli te containing quartz eyes to 5 mm that occurs partly as
cross cutting sills and partly as flows within the MyraFormation Tyee Quartz Porphyry is related to the SaltspringIntrusions

Muller 1980a estimated the thickness of the Nitinat Formation
at about 2000 m and that of the Myra Formation at 750 to 1000 m
Fyles 1955 work indicates a thickness of at least 1500 m for
the Nitinat Formation and at least 1000 m for the Myra Formation

were dated as Devonian and or older by Muller 1980a

Formation is transitional between the Myra and Buttle Lake
Formations The upper and lower contacts are poorly defined
Thin bedded turbidi te like much s il icif ied or cherty massive
argillite and siltstone are interlayered with diabaseic sills
The sediments show conspicuous dark and light banding on jointsurfaces The sills consist of a fine grained greenish black
matrix containing feldspar phenocrysts up to more than 1 cm
commonly clustered in rosettes up to a few centimetres in
diameter producing a very distinctive flower porphyry appearance Subophitic texture may also be visible The sediments are
dated as Mississippian in age whereas the sills are believed to
represent feeders to the Triassic Karmutsen volcanics

oThe Buttle Lake Formation is up to 466 m thick approximately300 m thick southeast of Cowichan Lake The age of the
formation based on fossil evidence appears to be Middle

mediate pyroclastics in this sequence indicates that these rocks
may belong to the Myra Formation rather than the Sediment Sill

In the southeast and northwest corners of the property gabbroicrocks Unit 4a are exposed These rocks appear to be part of a
major gabbroic sill extending across the entire property and up
to 800 m or more in width The rocks from the southeast corner
are fine to medium grained generally massive dark green
gabbros Locally coarse hornblende rich magnetite zones
occur an indication that Island Intrusions rocks likely occur at
a fa irly shallow depth below surface In the northwes t corner
the rocks are medium to coarse grained generally feldsparporphyritic gabbros The feldspar phenocrysts occur as rosettes
up to 2 cm in diameter mak ing up as much as 20 of the rock
Locally magnetite occurs in quantities up to 5 The feldsparflowers are diagnostic of the Sediment Sill Unit sills which
are believed to represent feeders to the Triassic Karmutsen
Formation

The northern area of the Hall property is underlain by Island
Intrusions diorite to quartz diorite Unit 9 At their contact
with the Sicker Group rocks a hybrid magnetite rich border phaseup to at least l25 m wide is developed Unit 9a The only area
that the border phase rock was observed in outcrop is on the
northwestern slopes of Mount Hall but float located on the
northern slopes of Mount Hall and in the northwest corner of the
property indicates that the border phase is present at least
locally along much of the intrusive contact On Mount Hall the
border phase cons ists of coarse grained diori te to hornble nd ite
with up to 50 magnetite The magnetite occurs as irregularmasses up to 5 mm in size or as rectangular to elongate lath like
grains up to 50 mm long by 2 5 mm wide Hornblendite consists of
al tered diori te wi th up to 60 or more coarse hornblende laths
8 l0 mm long The border phase rocks are locally cut by numerous
quartz veins up to about 25 cm wide some of which are mineral
ized wi th pyri te chalcopyrite andfor magnetite A shear zone
exposed in the NE road offsets the border phase rocks approx
imately 200 m

6 0 PROPOSED WORK PROGRAM
6 1 Plan
Phase I exploration of the Hall Group is designed to follow up
the anomalous results of the 1986 87 exploration and to completereconnaissance scale geological coverage of the entire property
Detailed geological mapping and rock sampling is to be carried
out in the area of the Island IntrusionsfSicker Group contact
where auriferous quartz veins are known to occur Mapping and
sampling will be used to locate and trace the contact and
associated border phase rocks to the west of the known zone on
Mount Hall Two test lines of soil geochemical sampling magnetometer and VLF EM will be established over the known zone to
determine whether these methods can provide useful information
about the location and or magnitude of the gold mineralization
Geological mapping and rock sampling will also be carried out
over the areas of the property which have not yet been covered
Of particular interest is the area of Sediment Sill Unit rocks
on Mount Hall which have yielded two anomalous Au results from
rock samples and one from a silt sample In addition to search
ing for further gold values it is necessary to determine whether
these rocks belong to the Sediment Sill Unit or the Myra
Formation
The lack of outcrop on the southern slopes of Coronation Mountain
prevents the location of the Sedimen t s ill Uni tfMyra Forma tion
contact from being located with any precision Due to the occur
rence of significant mineralization within the Myra rocks on the
adjacent Lara property the southwest corner of the Hall Groupwill be explored with a geochemicalfgeophysical grid supplementedby geological mapping and sampling of any available outcrops in
the area A baseline running parallel to the hillside will be
established with grid lines totalling about 12 line km at 100 m

8 0 RECOMMENDATIONS
1 It is recommended that detailed geological mapping and rock
sampling be carried out along the contact of Island Intru
sions rocks with Sicker Group rocks to explore for addition
al Au Ag Cu mineralization such as that discovered on the
northwest side of Mount Hall
2 lines of soil sampling and magnetometerfVLF EM
are recommended to be carried out over the zone of
mineralized border phase rocks to determine whether
these methods can supply useful information in
andfor delineating this type of mineralized zone
Two test
readingsAu Ag Cu
or not
locating
3 It is recommended that soil sampling magnetometer and
VLF EM surveys and geological mapping and sampling of any
available outcrops be carried out on a grid established in
the southwestern corner of the property over the Hyra
Formation rocks to determine whether they host mineral
ization similar to that on the adjacent Abermin Corp Lara
property
4 It is recommended that the Sediment Sill Unit rocks on
Mount Hall be investigated with geological mapping and rock
sampling with the aims of locating gold mineralization as
indicated by samples 17716 17718 and 1152 and to determine
hether the rocks belong to the Sediment Sill Unit or MyraFormation
5 Additional reconnaissance geological mappingsampling is recommended to be carried out over the
the Hall Group which have not yet been explored
and rock
