Introduction

This report covers the Scadding Gold Mine Site and the adjacent staked and optioned claims (the

“Property”) by Trueclaim Exploration Inc. (“the Company”) for its potential to host gold mineralization

that could be economically exploited.

At the time of this report the Property consists of 7 mining leases which contain a total of 56 contiguous

mining claims, as well as ?? optioned and staked claims for a total area of approximately 37,000 acres.

The Property is predominantly underlain by Early Proterozoic age sediments of the Huronian

Supergroup, specifically the Serpent, Espanola and Bruce Formations of the Quirke Lake Group which

have been intruded by Early Proterozoic age (Nipissing) gabbro and diabase.

The gold mineralization occurs in what is thought to be younger than 1700 Ma (million year old) bodies

of hydrothermal breccia made up of coarse fragments of the Serpent Formation with abundant chlorite

alteration and as much as 5% iron sulfide content.

Based on previous drilling a noncompliant resource of 539,049 tons containing 165,525 oz of gold which

represented a grade of 0.307 oz gold per ton, was reported on the property. It is the purpose of this

work to determine if significant mineralization existed on the property worthy of a further Phase II drill

program to delineate a resource evaluation. This report discloses the data from the drill program

undertaken in 2009.

Work undertaken on this property and this report was supervised by Bob Komarechka P.Geo. of Bedrock

Research Corp.

Location

The Property is located in Scadding Township, District of Sudbury, Ontario between Wanapitei and

Ashigami Lakes, about 50 kilometers northeast of Sudbury, Ontario at 46o-38’N latitude, 80o-37’W

longitude. The Property includes the former Scadding Gold Mine (1984-1990) located in Concessions II

and III, Lots 5 and 6, Scadding Township, Sudbury Mining Division.

Access

Access to the old mine workings and the 2009 Phase 1 DDH program is provided via the well maintained

gravel Kukagami Lake Road. Travelling on this road which runs near north from Highway 17 for ?? km.

will bring one to a gravel road to the west. Taking this road leads to the old minesite and the area of

drilling. See figures 1 & 2.

Previous Work

The following is a summary of the key Property highlights as previously written by L.D.S. Winter, P.Geo.

and later paraphrased or duplicated.

• Previous to Trueclaim Exploration Inc. operations, a total of 19003 meters of diamond drilling in

221 surface holes have been drilled on the Property and most of this work was restricted to four

mining claims.

• In 1980 P.C. McLean calculated a non-compliant resource for the Property of 539,049 tons

containing 165,525 oz of gold which represented a grade of 0.307 oz gold per ton.

• The estimated resource base in 1983 was 152,895 tons at an estimated undiluted grade of 0.376

oz gold per ton which represents approximately 57,000 contained ounces. The Scadding Gold

Mine produced approximately 914 kg of gold from 127,000 tonnes (t) of ore grading 7.2 Au/t

(29,400 ounces of gold from 139,742 short tons of ore grading 0.21 oz/ton) during the period

1984 to 1990 from three shallow open-cuts (North, East-West and South Zones) and

underground development of the Central (Intermediate) Zone. The estimates from 1983

combined indicated and inferred categories which is not permitted under current CIM Reserve

and Resource Standards as required by NI43-101. This information is historical data and should

only be considered as such. It does not represent current resources compliant with CIM

Standards as required by NI43-101.

• The Scadding Gold Mine was run as an extraction project without any attempt to build a

sustained mining operation or to evaluate the potential of the Property.

• Previous to the Company’s operations, the most recent work was carried out by JML Resources

Ltd. in 2003. A preliminary drilling program confirmed the presence of gold at one of the known

historic gold zones (North Zone) and confirmed that historic gold zones are associated with

broad chlorite and albite-rich alteration envelopes. Geophysical surveys identified 7 distinct

linear zones and that within 3 of the zones historical gold development had occurred.

• Based on the historical work (1973 to 1990) on the Property and the work in the last 10 years by

Currie Rose Resources Inc. and JML Resources Ltd., it is considered that the Property has the

potential to host additional mineralization.

Summary of Work

Drilling Trueclaim contracted Mallette Drilling from the period of November 10th to December 16th

Orientation of the drill hole was surveyed at approximately regular 50m intervals. These tests were done

using a Reflex tool by the drillers. Readings were documented by the driller once the hole was

terminated.

2009 to

complete the Phase 1 drill program. In total 19 NQ diamond drill holes were drilled over an area

covering 4 of the 7 leases that comprise the Scadding Gold Property. The total meters drilled during this

program was 2129.94m.

Drill casings were left in the ground with the driller requested to supply and attach caps. These caps

were later labeled with a punch showing the hole number.

Summary of Drilling Undertaken On November 11th

After the first two drillholes we moved to the north zone. Holes TRM-09-03, TRM-09-04 and TRM-09-05

were drilled in attempt to extend the north zone towards the north-east. The quartzite was less altered

here and the drillers had a very hard time finding the right bit that would last. During the drilling of

these holes numerous bits were ordered and tested until a bit that suited the rock was found. In this

area water for the drilling was taken from the North Pit and pumped about 100m to the drill. In these

drillholes quartzite, chlorite breccia and carbonate breccia were encountered.

, 2009 drilling commenced. The first hole was located in the South Pit area on claim

373196. TRM-09-01 was drilled about 10m from the edge of the south pit. Present within the historical

data there was indication that hole W36 drilled by Watt and McLean in 1984 contained a large intercept

of gold mineralization. The first Trueclaim hole was scouted by Paul McLean and was meant to target

this intercept. A large diabase dyke was intersected and seemed to end at the point that Paul McLean

thought we would intersect chlorite breccia. For this reason, we measured out a second drill hole about

20m to the west and attempted to hit the chlorite unit again. Successfully, we intersected very little

diabase and more chlorite. While drilling the first two drill holes water was taken from the south pit

using a pump. As there was blasting to remove the material from the south pit, the drillers has some

struggles collaring in this area due to the fragmented nature of the rock near the pit.

The drill was moved into the north zone to twin one of the Currie Rose holes (CR42) in order to gain

more confidence in the historical data. TRM-09-06 was drilled vertically within half a meter to the east

of the old collar. The lithological contacts seemed to be consistent with what was documented in the

logs. While we were drilling in this location, some personnel from the Ministry of Labour appeared for a

site visit and inspection of the drill.

TRM-09-07, TRM-09-08 and TRM-09-09 were all drilled in the south pit area. During inspection of the

drill core from hole TRM-09-02 during logging visible gold was observed. These observations warranted

more drilling around the south pit to determine the orientation of the mineralized zone. TRM-09-07 was

drilled about 20m north of the second hole to see if we would intersect the zone when we stepped back.

Some chlorite breccia was intersected in this hole. It was then decided that we should drill 20m further

to the west and attempt to intersect the zone with TRM-09-08. This drillhole was unsuccessful and the

majority was drilled into the Espanola Limestone. TRM-09-09 was a vertical hole drilled on the south

side of the pit to see if the mineralization occurred in this location. A small interval of chlorite breccia

was intersected followed by the contact with the Espanola Formation.

The Currie Rose New Zone was always an area of interest that needed some follow up. Sporadic vertical

historical drillholes occur throughout this area. It seemed that there was something interesting going on

in this area structurally. Four holes (TRM-09-10, TRM-09-11, TRM-09-12 and TRM-09-13) were drilled

into this zone all oriented towards the south. All four holes intersected chlorite breccia, diabase and

were terminated in Espanola Limestone. Drilling in this location was smooth and with no major

problems. Water was pumped from the East-West Pit to the drill shack.

There was very limited drilling between the central mined zone and the north pit, it seemed like this was

one of the areas needing further exploration. Drillhole TRM-09-14 was an attempt to determine if there

was continuity between the two zones. During drilling water was used from the North Pit. The logging

revealed that there was chlorite breccia present in that location. This hole was terminated within the

Carbonate breccia.

A few hundred meters to the south-west, TRM-09-15 was drilled targeting a small intersection of gold

assays found during drilling in 2004 by JML Resources. Numerous meters of quartzite and carbonate

breccia were intersected with very little chlorite. The pump shack was located at the South Pit and no

bulldozing occurred as the pad was built on an old drill road.

10 targets were identified by geophysics run by Currie Rose. All of them were clearly marked using a

solid t-bar and had an engraved plaque attached to it marking the Target number and what geophysical

anomaly it was targeting. We decided to test Target 4 which was located about 200m north of the North

Pit. This area was exposed while trenching the area a few weeks prior. This was mostly a swampy area

and several chloritic boulders had been pulled out of the muck. TRM-09-16 was stepped back 40m south

of the T-bar for Target 4. Very little chlorite, alteration and mineralization were present in the core.

TRM-09-17 was drilled 100m down strike of TRM-09-05. As we had intersected some intervals of chlorite

breccia in this earlier hole, we decided to see if we could pick it up 100m to the north east. About 10m

to the north of the drill was hole an old Northgate hole drilled vertically and producing water.

The last two holes of this drilling program were TRM-09-18 and TRM-09-19 both were drilled from the

same point located between the Currie Rose New zone and the East-West Pit. The first hole was drilled

vertically and interested weakly mineralized chlorite breccias and the second hole was drilled to the

north and also intersected some chlorite breccia intervals.

On December 16th, TRM-10-19 was in barren looking quartzite and there was a general consensus that

this would mark the end of the 2009 drilling program. This gave us an opportunity to catch up on the

logging and sampling. We wanted to ensure that all samples were at the laboratory prior to Christmas

break.

Plan Map of DDH Locations

Surveying In October, Global Surveying Services was hired by Trueclaim Exploration to more accurately locate

features found in the field. Lindsay Moss spent several weeks compiling data for assessment work and

putting together a map of historical drillholes. This map was taken in to the field with the GSS crew and

as many drillholes we could find were located with the GPS. About 30% of the historical holes were

located in the field. Holes that were not found in were most commonly positioned either in pits or

cemented if located above the underground workings. Most recent drillholes from Currie Rose (1997)

and JML Resources (2003 and 2004) were in a similar position to what was documented on the map.

Currie Rose holes were very well marked with 4 inch by 4 inch block of wood chiseled into a round point

at the bottom and hammered into the casing. JML drillholes were easily spotted because the drilling was

so recent that pads had not become over grown. As well, many drillholes away from the mine area were

drilled on their cut grid, the lines are still in pretty good condition. JML marked most drillholes with a 2

inch by 2 inch wooden picket often with flagging tape tied around the base.

Older drillholes were more difficult to locate. About half of Northgate and Gulf holes drilled away from

mine workings were found in the field. These drillholes were often intensely rusted and very difficult to

find due to the brown colour being similar to the trees. Only one hole drilled by Watt and McLean in the

early 1980`s was found and it is still questionable as to whether this drillhole actually belongs to this

group. Where we found the collar, about 300m east from the south pit there should have been two

collars as one was failed. There was only one collar located in this area and it was a different orientation

from what was documented.

During this surveying program two wells were discovered on the property. No documentation of these

were found in the historical data, but it is believed that these were used for hydrological studies.

Several other points of interest were surveyed during the two week period, including all roads and trails

on the minesite, the waste pile, the portal and the pits. Some pickets still remain from old cut lines and

these were surveyed, but there weren`t enough points and it was impossible to determine which pickets

these were as they had no markings, so that data is unusable. Global Surveying placed several iron bars

around the property, so we have something concrete for future surveying to tie into.

Logging Prior to drilling an excel logging sheet was created designed based on what historical data deemed

important to capture. Both alteration and mineralization seemed to play an important role in the gold

mineralization. Logging by Bob Komarechka and Lindsay Moss began soon after drilling commenced.

A stereomicroscope was used in conjunction with logging to better view small flecks of visible gold as

well to aid in identifying unknown phases. Magnetic susceptibility readings were taken sporadically

using a KT5 Magnetic susceptibility meter by Exploranium, mainly in attempt to identify intrusive

lithologies.

Logging occurred in a garage rented just off of Highway 17 at 300 Kukagami Lake Road. Within the

garage is a logging bench and 5 core racks built by Stanley Kowal. The garage was heated with a

portable oil furnace rented from Able in Sudbury. In order to get heat from one side of the garage to

the other, we needed to drill a hole through the wall for the heating vents to pass through.

The core is currently stored on the property with significant intervals stored inside and locked.

Remaining core from 2009 is located in racks outside of the garage and covered with tarps to prevent

the wood from rotting.

Core Cutting and Sampling Core cutting was undertaken by Stanley Kowal. A saw was rented from Exploration Services for the

purpose of cutting core. Two 14 inch diamond blades were purchased for the saw. A separate room

away from the logging area housed the saw and all cutting materials. Prior to cutting blanks and

standards were organized. Standards were acquired from CCIC in Sudbury and blanks were created

from white quartz.

The main problem encountered with cutting was our water supply to the saw. There was no running

water in the shack and there was only a rain barrel outside the shack for water. The people who rented

the house next door have a well and were kind enough to fill our barrel. When temperatures dropped it

was near impossible to keep this water from freezing solid. We got a few large plastic water containers

from Mohawk Garnet and stored the water inside the heated shack.

Cut core was stored in the cutting shack and sampling was done periodically. Half core samples were

placed in thick plastic sample bags with their corresponding sample tag. A portion of the sample tag

with the sample number was stapled into the bottom of the core box. Standards were inserted every

tenth sample and blanks were inserted every fiftieth. Sample bags were closed with zip ties and put in

rice bags in groups of 10. Samples were taken to the lab when we accumulated about 10 bags of core.

When drilling commenced we were transporting our samples to SGS Laboratories in Sudbury and

duplicate samples or field samples were being sent to Swastika Laboratories in Swastika. At SGS

Laboratories it was taking a significant amount of time for results, so all samples were transferred to

AGAT Laboratories on highway 17 in Sudbury.

Observations

Drilling During the 2009 drilling program several observations were made regarding the drilling at the Scadding

Mine Site. Bits for drilling should be specifically for hard rock like the quartzite. Water on site is readily

available and easily accessible from almost anywhere on the property. It was noted that rock is highly

fragmented due to blasting around the pit areas which can cause problems during casing. Also to note,

the Espanola Limestone drills very rapidly with the hard rock bits. The drillers can almost double their

speed while drilling through Espanola Formation.

Lithological While logging core we were able to identify that there were several different types of chlorite alteration

found on the Scadding Mine site. These chlorites can be distinguished primarily by their appearance.

One chlorite phase often associated with sulphides in a medium green is colour and rather pervasive in

its alteration around the quartzite fragments. The other chlorite observed seems slightly lighter in colour

and tends to have a sharper contact with fragments. The later chlorite is rarely mineralized by sulphides.

While running the drill program we found a pile of ore assumed to be from the underground working.

These rocks were composed almost completely of chlorite and contained large 1-5cm cubic pyrite

crystals.

Visible gold was identified within 3 of the first 4 holes of this program. The gold identified was

commonly found under the stereomicroscope. It seems as if the gold is very fine grained and therefore

difficult to find with the naked eye. Gold was found in strongly chloritized areas in association with

sulphide minerals.

Alteration was somewhat variable throughout the drilling. It seems like there is much more hematite

alteration present in the south pit than there is in the north pit. Within TRM-09-02 we noticed that the

visible gold was in chlorite beside a strongly hematitically altered fragment. Where as in TRM-09-03 we

still observed visible gold in the chlorite of the chlorite breccia units, however the quartzite fragments

are commonly white to tan in colour.

While drilling in the north it was observed that the quartzite was not or weakly altered by hematite

when in the zone where chlorite breccia occurs. Commonly there is a distinct point at which chlorite

alteration become carbonate alteration. At this point the quartzite fragments become salmon pink in

colour due to the intense pervasive chlorite alteration. We have not yet concluded the relationship

between hematite alteration and gold mineralization.

Historical drilling After all of the compilation, field work and drilling completed by Trueclaim Exploration there are a few

observations made about historical data and historical drilling. It seems as if mineralization and chlorite

breccia are both occurring in the general areas they were documented as occurring. While compiling

data before drilling occurred there were numerous holes in the assessment reports. Some of these

missing documents were acquired from sources who worked on the property and others still have not

surfaced.

There is no record of any assays from the Gulf drilling program we just have lithological logs. For the

work done by Watt and McLean most of the data was compiled, however no drill collars were found to

confirm they exist. As for Northgate, we have only found a few collars because most were drilled into

the area of the underground mining and therefore cemented during mining. We have compiled all of the

data from Northgate and it seems that most data fits what was intersected. Currie Rose drillholes were

definitely the easiest to find being marked with a block of wood. In the JML drilling assessment report it

seem like most of their results and logging were pretty close to what was intersected in the Currie Rose

drillholes, some assays varied due to gold flecks. It seems like data from Currie Rose and JML Resources

is far more reliable than the other historical data.

Conclusion

Through the compilation of historical work done on the Scadding Mine site it seemed as if the drilling

programs in the past were rather small and somewhat inconclusive. I was stated by several documents

and people that there is still potential for expansion as well as new discoveries on the property.

The primary goal of this preliminary phase of drilling was to establish the accuracy of historical records

and determine whether or not there is current potential on the Scadding Gold Mine property. To date

we have been able to rank the historical data based on accuracy as well as determine that there is still

potential for expanding old deposits and finding new ones. It was determined that there is still gold

present in the ground as we observed visible gold in holes drilled in the north (about 75m away from the

open pit) and in the south zones.

Lithologically, chlorite breccia is confirmed in places where it was documented by historical drilling. It

seems as if there are physically different types of chlorite present on the mine site which contain

variable amounts of sulphide mineralization. Alteration is variable throughout the site, most commonly

hematite which is stronger in the south pit area and weaker in the north pit.

Recommendations More diamond drilling needs to occur on the Scadding site. Most historical drilling was concentrated on

the 5 deposits within the mine area. Not much drilling was done outside of this area until JML Resources

drilling program in 2003 and 2004. Several small sniffs of gold mineralization were detected outside of

the main zones which need to be followed up in future drilling programs.

In this drilling program it was determined that the mineralization is sporadic and commonly contained

within the mineralized chlorite breccia units. In order to get a better idea of the way these bodies are

sitting in space it is recommended that the historical and current drilling are modeled in a 3D program.

Through modeling the ore zones and location of the chlorite breccia more accurate drill targeting can be

achieved.

The North Zone seems to be the largest drilled zone of mineralization not mined on the property. More

detailed drilling in this area would allow magnetic and geochemical tests which can be useful to

determining controlling factors related to gold mineralization. In the 3D modeling program, geochemical

results can be plotted to see which elements are more closely related to gold. Magnetic susceptibility

readings will be useful in determining whether an airborne magnetic survey would benefit Trueclaim in

identifying more pockets of mineralized chlorite breccia. As well, the geochemistry can be used to define

a way of differentiating mineralized verses non-mineralized chlorites.

5.00 6.15 Olivine Diabase This interval is a chilled margin that is dark grey, finely crystalline, massive. Composed of pyroxene, plagioclase with minor amounts of pyrrhotite. Mag readings at 26-30ams.


Varicoloured, dark grey to flesh pink to orange fine crystalline, massive, contains splotches up to 10cm of chlorite near the bottom which contains an irregular zone of chlorite which contains about 8% pyrite, subhedral and about 1cm in diameter.


Orange salmon to medium grey in localized zones, consists of very finely crystalline quartz with fractures delineated by orange bleached areas, some areas show brecciation and some areas are not as brecciated. The amount of breccia fragments is on the order of 95% and matrix material is less than 5%. The matrix is primarily silica. The salmon colour is probably due to hematization.

15.60 19.38 SF Quartzite Dark grey, very finely crystalline, massive with occasional alteration along fine fractures (orange coloured). Occasionally discordant thin white calcite veinlets.

19.38 22.40 SF Quartzite Breccia Varying in colour from dark grey to salmon, there are fractures filled with chlorite and calcite (hairline fractures). Finely crystalline and massive.

22.40 22.82 SF Quartzite Dark grey quartzite, finely crystalline, massive containing numerous fractures filled with quartzite and a slight aureole of orange hematite.

22.82 24.27 SF Quartzite Dark grey quartzite, finely crystalline, massive with minor white calcite filled fractures. Similar to the unit above except less calcite fracturing. Minute crystals of carbonate scattered throughout.

24.27 25.85 SF Quartzite Breccia Salmon coloured to medium grey, develops specks of chlorite which become more abundant towards the base.


Similar to the unit above, except pyrite is beginning to develop, hematization is less pervasive and becoming more fracture filled. Brownish grey, finely crystalline, mottled with black to dark green flecks containing scattered blebs of pyrite. Pyrite is also found within chlorite specks and within chlorite filled fractures.


Weakly brecciated quartzite with a chlorite matrix. The quartzite is very finely crystalline varying in colour from pinkish brown to grey. Brecciated with chlorite coming in along layers of quartzite broken apart as well as in specks. Local patchy areas of chlorite which seem to have replaced some fragments. There is pyrite which appears to be constrained along fractures that have become bleached and more so along the intersection of these fragments. Pyrite is also developed in subhedral masses, they are coarse grained blebs which are scattered throughout.

28.59 29.29 SF Quartzite Breccia Quartzite is salmon coloured to brown, finely crystalline, the breccia has a matrix of chlorite in fractures. There is pyrite associated with chlorite.

29.29 29.90 SF Chloritized Quartzite

Similar to previous interval but lacks hematitic alteration. Grey in colour, finely crystalline containing finely disseminated pyrite and possible magnetite, pervasively moderately chloritized. Unusual mag reading of 179. Only the upper part of this zone has higher mag. 70% chlorite and about 30% quartz, patchy chlorite becomes merged together into a more pervasive alteration.


29.90 31.44 SF Quartzite Breccia Quartzite breccia that is salmon coloured to light brown, very finely crystalline, with numerous fractures filled with chlorite containing pyrite. VG noted in the chlorite. Mag readings between 17 and 20ams.


Grayish in colour, but ranges from medium grey to salmon tan coloured. Very finely crystalline quartzite, brecciated with some chlorite present in fractures. Chlorite is not as pervasive as the previous section. Much darker than the previous section due fine grained pervasive pyrite mineralization, also present with a dark sub-metallic mineral (magnetite?). Mag readings between 11 and 47.2ams. Lower mag readings in areas with hematization, higher readings with areas of increased chlorite.


Patchy chlorite in rock. This unit is dark grey with patches of sand tan coloured fragments of quartzite. 30% sand brown quartzite fragment and 70% chloritic matrix material. Fine magnetite and pyrite disseminated throughout, as well pyrite is observed in blebs. Mag reading between 22 and 25ams.


Numerous fractures, the rock is mottled dark grey to beige. Beige colouration appears to be aureoles around dark coloured green magnetite fractures. Fracture infilling changes from chlorite to magnetite as we move into this interval. Mag readings between 11 and 35ams, increasing down interval.

36.10 40.80 SF Quartzite Breccia Similar to the unit above, but having more numerous darker areas. Dark areas caused by fine disseminated pyrite and magnetite.

40.80 41.50 SF Chloritized Quartzite Small interval that is dark grey. Mag readings between 0.4 and 0.9ams. Medium grey in colour, finely crystalline. Homogenous, massive, a few white calcite veins.


Numerous fragments with chlorite and magnetite fractures. Original fragments are dark brown and contain fine inclusions of magnetite and pyrite. Fractures becoming infilled with pink calcite. The rock has a crazed appearance due to the numerous fine magnetite veinlets. Pyrite occurs in some of the larger veinlets and in blotches.

Mottled salmon to khaki brown fragments, fragments often with khaki brown interiors, with numerous fractures defined by light lines. Siliceous matrix with occasional green chlorite and localized areas of chlorite speckling. Unit core surface has a very smooth polish suggesting a high silica content.

53.90 54.96 SF Quartzite Breccia Medium gray to khaki bands, partially brecciated with banded sections with dark green chlorite infilling thin fractures.

54.96 57.41 SF Quartzite Breccia Medium gray to khaki gray, slightly brecciated, pervasively chloritized with minor disseminated pyrite. Weakly fractured with chlorite alteration along fractures. Previous mild hematization.

0 0.5 Casing No overburden, drilled on bedrock


Medium buff grey and slightly pinkish in some sections with more intense albite alteration. This unit is relatively un-altered, except for some localized albitization both pervasively and coming in along fractures causing a bleached halo. Some weak primary banded is still preserved. There are small veins and veinlets throughout containing calcite, ankerite, chlorite and pyrite, with or without quartz. Some of these veins are brecciated and contain fragemts of quartzite along with rhombs of calcite in a chloritic matrix, they are less than 10cm and occur sporadically throughout the unit.

19.92 48.42 SF Quartzite This unit is similar in appearance to the above described unit, however becomes a very light grey in colour and is relatively un-altered. Still contains veins/fractures with carbonate and quartz infilling, no sulphide or chlorite as above.

48.42 57.18 SF Quartzite This interval is light pinkish grey in colour, The veins with coarse grained carbonate and chlorite matrix are becoming more prominent within this interval. More intense pink alteration occurs as a halo around these veins.

57.18 58.1 SF Quartzite Similar to above, however fractures previously filled with albite have now become replaced by hematite, however still demonstrate the same halo of bleaching as the albite filled fractures.

58.1 60.4 SF Quartzite Similar to the interval between 48.42 and 57.18, slight pinkish hue from albite alteration and possibly some weak hematization.


This unit is a light buff grey in colour, has a few sporadic quartz and carbonate veins throughout, but otherwise lacking in alteration and mineralization. Trace disseminated pyrite observed within 1.5m of lower contact. One vein at 72..35m containing a large bleb of chalcopyrite and pyrite associated with carbonate alteration.

73.62 77.73 SF Chlorite Breccia

This unit is a dark greenish grey colour. Most of the unit is intensely chloritic, however, there are several small patches throughout containing small angular fragments of quartzite material. The matrix around these fragments is often more highly chloritic than the surrounding rock mass. Pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are commonly observed as blebs and disseminations. Contacts with the upper and lower quartzite are sharp.

77.73 79.73 SF Quartzite As above described quartzite, lacking any significant alteration. There is one small vein of chloritic material between 78.2 and 78.35m, containing some pyrite mineralization


As above chlorite breccia. At the beginning of the interval, there are some small (up to 1cm) angular fragments of more strongly chloritic material in a matrix of chlorite.. At 80.3m there is a large bleb of pyrrhotite that looks to be contained within the chlorite, and is wrapping around chloritically altered fragments. Large 0.1-1cm cubes of pyrite scattered throughout this interval.

81.03 88.43 SF Quartzite Similar to above quartzite containing small areas of pyrite mineralization and small chloritic zones.

Numerous fractures, very broken core, mostly along fractures, some localized brecciation. Fractures have a lighter coloured aureole sometimes containing chlorite and local breccia zones contain carbonate. Generally becomes darker toward the base of the unit.


Comprised of tan grey to brown grey quartzite fragments with about 15% matrix. Matrix is quartz with minor white sugary textured carbonate, but primarily quartz. Chlorite forming fine lines around the periphery of the matrix, however rather minor alteration. Numerous fractures with bleached aureoles.


Brown-gray quartzite with numerous fractures having light grey aureoles. From 21.66m to 21.75m there is a small interval quartzite breccia containing abundant bleaching along with very weak iron carbonate present in the matrix along with quartz.


Colouration ranges from cream grey slightly pinkish to mottled brown grey. Some hematitic alteration begins to appear as little fuzzy spots and along fractures with silicification. Some carbonate present in the matrix toward the bottom of the unit. Matrix composed 25% of the rock and consists of primarily quartz and very minor dark chlorite around the edges of the matrix.

25.52 27.05 SF Quartzite Light grey mottled with dark brown grey. It has fractures with light grey aureoles. The upper part of the interval is lighter grey and appears to be bleached.


Very similar to previous breccia unit, except lacking hematitic alteration, so no pinkish colouration. Some carbonate present in the matrix toward the bottom of the unit. Matrix composed 25% of the rock and consists of primarily quartz and very minor dark chlorite around the edges of the matrix.


Consists of light grey with mottled brown grey areas. Fractures of very wide areas of light grey removing the iron from the rock. No significant alteration other than the bleaching of fractures. Very uniform, no visible primary bedding. Towards the base of the unit the colour becomes light grey due to extensive bleaching.

0 1.6 Overburden Casing to 2.1m

1.6 7.22 SF Quartzite Medium tan grey in colour with alternating dark and light banding. Bedding preserved well in darker bands of material, seems as if bleaching has removed primary structures.

7.22 19.56 SF Quartzite breccia

Slightly pinkish, mostly brownish grey coloured, Carbonate altering the matrix which composes about 10% of the interval, in some locations very weak chlorite noted as a matrix infilling areas around carbonate rhombs. One quartz vein present at 7.7m with 50% pyrite mineralization and associated carbonate alteration.

19.56 31.94 SF Quartzite Medium buff grey in colour, strong preservation of primary bedding. Lacking any significant alteration other than weak carbonate infilling fractures.


This unit is composed of fragments of salmon pink altered quartzite within a matrix of buff grey quartzite. Pink intervals contain significant moderate carbonate alteration, pervasively throughout and grey sections of quartzite remain un-altered. Weak chlorite alteration observed within the last two meters of the interval as fracture filling material.


This unit contains pinkish grey fragments of altered quartzite within a strongly dark green chloritic matrix. Chlorite matrix composed about 15% of the interval and often occurs with pyrite cubes and blebby pyrrhotite mineralization with some very small amounts of chalcopyrite, Between 45.16m to 45.82m is a high strain zone within the breccia. Fragments become elongate in a preferred orientation and chlorite has become oriented in the same direction. Within this small zone fragments have become reduced in size to between 0.1 - 2.0cm in diameter.


Medium buff grey in colour, some bleached haloes around fractures. Also, hematite alteration infilling fractures. Bedding preserved in most section. This interval is very broken up and crumbled core. Within the last 1.5m of this interval a waxy mustard yellow mineral is observed trending in the same orientation as bedding planes.


Chloritic breccia composed of about 40% pinkish white quartzite fragments within a strongly altered chlorite matrix. Fragments are generally between 1 and 10cm in diameter. There are disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite throughout the matrix of the breccia. There are some small quartz-carbonate veins which also host sulphides.

72.06 75.28 SF Quartzite Similar to above quartzite and becoming pinker towards base of unit.


This unit is a light salmon pink colour with numerous fr4actures containing hematite alteration. The matrix is composed of very coarse grained carbonate rhombs with compose 10% of this interval. Upper contact with quartzite is gradational over about 20cm. Lower contact with breccia is sharp.


Matrix composes about 50% of this interval and is strongly chloritically altered. Fragments of quartzite have diffuse margins and contain pods of chlorite alteration (possibly a hotter fluid than observed above). There are sulphides associated with the chlorite matrix, pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Biotite is observed in association with the chlorite and also between 84m and 85m white mica is observed in the chlorite.

From (m)



There is a small interval of quartzite, could possibly be a fragment as it is surrounded by chlorite breccia. The interval is slightly pinkish and retains some primary bedding. There are small patches of carbonate alteration throughout and several hematite infilled fractures.

89.73 91.15 SF Chlorite breccia As above described chlorite breccia.

91.15 92.52 SF Quartzite Slightly pinkish grey quartzite with pods of carbonate alteration occurring sporadically throughout. Very weak chlorite alteration occurring in association with the carbonate.

92.52 93.82 SF Chlorite breccia As above, but chlorite becoming less abundant, interval is composed of 75% fragments of pinkish quartzite. Contacts between fragments and matrix much sharper than before.

93.82 98 SF Carbonate Breccia

This interval is light pinkish grey in colour, consisting of about 85% quartzite fragments within a matrix composed of coarse grains rhombs of carbonate. Bleached fractures are cross-cut by the carbonate breccia matrix.

5.50 7.96 SF Quartzite Medium grey to salmon quartzite, erratically hematized with areas of patchy salmon colouring, minor fractures with some chlorite in filling.

7.96 9.27 SF Quartzite Very weak hematitic alteration along particular bands. Dark grey coloured and slight hematitic alteration consists of light flesh grey colour.

9.27 12.00 SF Quartzite Pervasive salmon brown hematitic alteration near top of unit. Bottom of unit showing numerous white carbonate fuzzy speck composing about 20% of the unit 1mm in size.

12.00 14.00 SF Quartzite breccia Quartzite breccia at the top developing chloritic fracturing moving down the interval. The upper portion of the unit is strongly hematitic from tan to salmon colour. The lower portion is brownish tan with fractures containing chlorite.

14.00 15.00 SF Quartzite Medium grained with a small bleached zone, fractured with minor chlorite occurring at 14.4m. Fractures which contain chlorite, cross-cut by later fractures containing iron carbonate.


This unit is dark greenish-grey, mottled with white blotches of quartz and containing smaller blotches of pyrite aggregates. Fragments of tan white quartzite, chloritization is pervasive. Fragment margins are rather diffuse. Quartz is secondary infilling.


Has hematitic alteration and the distribution of the chlorite is less pervasive. Fragments within seem to be larger and are hematized. In some areas hematitic alteration replaces chlorite and then less than 0.5m away the chlorite alteration replaces the hematite.


Strong hematitic alteration and local fracturing. At 24m there is a crushed zone, fragments containing carbonate as well as some quartz, zone is only a few cm wide. The core is very broken up through this section. Local disseminated tiny carbonate rhombs.

25.40 28.02 SF Quartzite breccia Orange brown breccia, the matrix is primarily quartz with minor chlorite. Core is highly fragmented and very siliceous. Bottom of unit contains disseminated euhedral pyrite from fine to crystalline in size.


Quartzite has become chloritized along less quartz rich seams. Dark grey with areas of chlorite alteration, localized hematization along bedding planes. Contains minor white fractures infilled with fine grained material not fizzing in acid, thin hairline fractures. Local zone of minor brecciation that occurs at 29m and is less than 0.5m, containing minor pyrite occurring in minor fractures.

33.70 37.10 SF Chlorite breccia Dark reddish brown "cherty" quartzite fragments with occasional dark gray chlorite. Core is highly fractured along chlorite filled fractures. Spotty pyrite found as both disseminated euhedral fine crystals euhedral and as multicrystalline blebs.

37.10 40.31 SF Quartzite breccia Mottled flesh pink to tan with numerous fractures (a crackle breccia). Very silicious. Minor pyrite in fractures.


Brown gray sections of quartzite with crackle fractures sometimes containing minor chlorite, mottled with pinkish orange hematitic alteration. Localized areas of fine to medium crystalline diseminated pyrite often found along fractures and associated with minor chlorite.

43.94 46.54 SF Chlorite breccia Mottled medium gray to tan orange quartzite with numerous dark gray chlorite clots and fractures. Evidence of secondary bleaching containing numerous dark flecks of chlorite. Pyrite found as multicrystalline blebs in localized areas.

48.16 51.85 SF Quartzite Dark gray with light tan and light gray bleached bands.

51.85 55.68 SF Chlorite Breccia Gray quartzite fragments with dark green gray chlorite. Several areas of orange hematitic alteration especially near top of unit, Localized areas of fine - medium crystalline disseminated pyrite.


Light to medium gray quartzite with crackle breccia having cracks filled with white iron carbonate. Breccia cracks becoming more abundant towards base of unit.

65.10 65.30 SF Argillite Dark gray very fine and homogeneous with diffuse very faint lighter gray bands

68.27 70.95 SF Argillite As above described argillite

70.95 71.70 Carbonate Breccia This unit is strongly foliated and contains bands of strong carbonate alteration. Looks like a sheared breccia. Fragments have become elongate to the point of appearing as bands.

71.70 73.24 SF Quartzite This interval is a medium buff grey colour, lacking any significant alteration or mineralization. There are sharp upper and lower contacts and weak carbonate infilling fractures throughout the unit.

73.24 78.18 Transition Zone

This is a cherty looking argillaceous unit which marks the transition from an alternating serpent formation argillite and quartzite sequence into the Espanola limestone. This unit is varicoloured alternating between bands of pink, orange and grey, sometimes green. Strongly banded and containing sporadic fractures infilled with carbonate.

78.18 88.73 EF Limestone Strongly banded with bands alternating between green, grey and pink. Epidote and chlorite altering some of the bands and cross-cut by fractures containing hematite.

88.73 93.00 Chlorite breccia

This unit appears different from the chlorite breccia we observe in the Serpent formation. The chlorite is very dark almost black in colour and is very pervasive replacing most of the material in the fragments. The fragments are hematitically altered and appear to be composed of quartzite. Carbonate veinlets cross-cut the interval. Near the end of the unite is become very massive and grey.

93.00 107.00 EF Limestone This unit is similar to the above limestone. Contact with the breccia is sharp.

0.00 5.40 Overburden Casing to 6.2m

5.40 8.18 Olivine Diabase Dark grey in colour, very fine grained and strongly magnetic. Looks like a large chill margin becoming finer towards the bottom of the interval. Some weak disseminated pyrrhotite mineralization. Lower contact brecciated.


This section is very broken up and hard to piece together. However, looks like it is a breccia all the way through the interval. Light salmon pink fragments of hematitically altered quartzite within a buff grey quartzite matrix. Some disseminated pyrite and moderate hematite alteration with small carbonate fracture filling.

14.82 18.07 SF Argillite Strongly banded with varicoloured bands ranging from grey to tan to pink. Very fine grained almost aphinitic in some places. Cherty looking appearance. Weak blebby carbonate alteration, localized to distinct bands.

18.07 35.25 SF Carbonate breccia

Very strongly hematitic, unit varies from a deep salmon colour to dark grey in some spots. This unit contains some small sections that are banded, could be fragments present within the breccia or some strain causing elongation of fragments. Starting at 26.7m the unit becomes very strongly broken up in sections of strong hematite.

35.25 37.43 SF Quartzite This unit is a small un-altered interval of quartzite. It is dark grey in colour and is altered weakly by chlorite. There are several small carbonate filled fractures occurring sporadically throughout.


This interval is similar to the above carbonate breccia. Very strongly altered by hematite. The upper part of this interval is more massive and it becomes more brecciated towards the base.

38.30 42.12 SF Quartzite This section is dark grey, and retains weak primary bedding textures. Some very weak hematite alteration in some bands that trend parallel to the foliation.


This unit is brecciated with some spots infilled by carbonate matrix and other spots infilled with quartzite. Larger meter sized fragments occurring at the top of the interval and smaller cm sized fragments moving towards the base. Fragments are often altered by hematite.


This unit is similar to the above Carbonate breccia. There are some small sections again where weak primary bedding is observed within fragments. Hematite alteration decreases down the interval. Below 56m we begin to see small cherty-argillaceous fragments or zonations within the breccia. The last 0.5m is a transition zone into the limestone and is strongly banded like the limestone, but is still brecciated and strongly altered by hematite.


This interval is strongly banded alternating between bands of green, grey and pink. The unit is made up of primarily carbonate rich bands with some others containing epidote and moderate chlorite alteration. Between 73.4 and 77m the unit becomes strongly broken up due to an increase in carbonate sealed fractures in this area. The rest of the unit is pretty consistent.

111.35 113.00 Carbonate Breccia

Deep red hematitic fragments embedded in a strongly carbonate altered matrix. Fragments are quite small, in the cm range. There is also a small 20cm section where the carbonate has been completely washed out leaving the rock with a pumaceous appearance.

6.75 10.85 SF Quartzite Medium buff grey in colour, weak primary bedding preserved. There are numerous carbonate infilled fractures observed throughout. Most of the interval is highly crumbled.


This is a small interval of carbonate breccia. It appears to have been sheared weakly and fragments elongated in a preferred orientation. Most of the interval is highly altered by pervasive hematite with carbonate infilling in the matrix.

11.70 14.45 EF Limestone This unit is strongly banded alternating between white, tan and grey bands. There is a weak white carbonate alteration present infilling fractures, as well carbonate makes up the majority of the interval. Bands are wavy in nature.

14.45 19.30 Chlorite Breccia This unit has a strongly chloritic matrix with weakly hematitic quartzite fragments present within. These fragments have wispy chlorite alteration throughout as well as diffuse margins. Fragments tend to be about 10cm.


This unit is very strongly altered by hematite and seems to be very hard as the drill core appears polished. There is faint hematitically altered banding present as well as later carbonate infilled fractures cross-cutting the unit. In some locations throughout the interval breccia matrix is infilled with chlorite but only as hairline seams.

27.43 30.70 SF Quartzite breccia This is a continuation of the above unit, however we have transitioned out of the hematite alteration and now only have weakly hematitic fragments with no alteration in the matrix.

30.70 76.44 EF Limestone This unit is strongly banded with alternations between pink, green and grey. There is an overprinted carbonate alteration in the form of veinlets and fracture filling. At 58.3 there is a small 10cm fault zone which is highly chloritized.

0.00 3.00 Overburden Casing to 5m


This unit is a medium buff grey in colour and contains areas of intense bleaching. There is a weak carbonate alteration present which is associated with pyrite mineralization. Lower contact with breccia is sharp.

5.92 6.84 Chlorite breccias

This interval is strongly brecciated, fragments are rather small, only about 1cm and consist of a light grey quartzite. There is some iron carbonate present within the breccia matrix. Very weak pyrite mineralization and pyrite grains are often weathered.


This unit is similar to the above quartzite, but is less bleached and loses the carbonate alteration. From 8.4m to 8.6m is a small brecciated section with fragments of quartzite and quartzite matrix, this breccia is clast supported.

14.26 17.85 SF Quartzite breccias

Medium buff grey quartzite that has become brecciated. The matrix is difficult to decipher from the fragments as they are very similar in composition and alteration. A few small patched of carbonate alteration with a matrix of chlorite.


This zone has a wispy nature, quartzite fragments have diffuse margins and bleed into the chloritic matrix. Pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite mineralization are all observed in this unit within the chlorite matrix.

18.49 21.40 SF Quartzite As above quartzite unit, some bleached fractures throughout.


Fragments in this interval range in size from cm to m sized. Chlorite occurs sporadically throughout the interval and is often associated with sulphide mineralization, as well as carbonate and biotite alteration. Some fragments have very weak hematitic alteration.

28.18 35.94 SF Quartzite Buff grey and tan in colour, strong bedding preservation. Weakly altered by bleaching surrounding fractures. This interval has some sections which are very broken up.


This unit contains fragments ranging from cm to m size and is clast supported. There are only small seams between fragments on the mm scale infilled by a dark green chlorite. Fragments range in colour from grey to tan and are quite angular.

38.13 41.60 SF Quartzite As above quartzite unit, some bleached fractures throughout.

41.60 43.60 SF Chlorite breccia This unit is similar to above breccia section, still clast supported and chlorite dominant matrix with some associated carbonate alteration.

43.60 50.21 Limestone This unit is strongly banded with cherty looking material and carbonate as well as some buff grey bands. Weak secondary carbonate and chlorite alteration.


This unit has the appearance of being a crackle breccia. It is clast supported and contains thin seams of breccia matrix with associated sulphide mineralization. Sporadic patches of smaller clasts within the breccia.

55.55 87.57 Olivine Diabase/Lamprophyre

This unit is massive, dark grey and relatively consistent throughout the interval. Becomes coarser grained moving towards the middle with finer grained chilled margins on either side. From 86.5 to 87.57m is the lower contact which runs the length of the core and is rather unconformable bleeding out into the host rock.


The beginning of the interval looks rather bleached out, possibly because of a higher carbonate content. The interval is strongly banded and most of the interval is carbonate. The unit appears a buff grey colour with sporadic infrequent carbonate veinlets. From about 99m to 108m there is weak increase in the chlorite intensity.

The beginning of this interval down to a depth of about 7.4m is very broken up. The unit is a medium buff grey colour with bleached fractures present throughout becoming less abundant moving down the section. Primary bedding is present and there is a weak pyrite mineralization present.

12.57 15.54 Chlorite-carbonate breccia

This interval contains a breccia consisting of medium grey fragments of quartzite with a breccia of carbonate. Carbonate rhombs in the matrix are infilled with a chlorite matrix. Pyrite is associated with the chlorite-carbonate matrix and also found in some small fractures throughout.

15.54 20.14 SF Quartzite This quartzite is buff grey containing numerous fractures causing bleached halos, some very weak chlorite alteration observed in some fractures. There is more pyrite mineralization in this interval than the previous.

20.14 22.40 Chlorite-carbonate breccia

This interval is similar to the above breccia unit, but there is more chlorite than carbonate. Looks like we are seeing a gradual increase in chlorite content of the breccia matrix as we move down the drillhole. Fragments seem to be rimmed with chlorite.

22.40 25.60 SF Quartzite Similar to the above described quartzite unit, however there are numerous hairline fractures parallel to one another which contain carbonate alteration.


This unit has the appearance of a crackle breccia. It is clast supported and matrix matrix between fragments is only a few millimeters. Matrix is composed of carbonate or has been replaced by carbonate. Bleaching is also observed is this interval.

26.54 27.83 SF Quartzite Buff grey, strongly banded. Pyrite seems to be associated with specific bands as well as disseminated throughout the unit and increasing toward the lower contact. Distinct cross bedding present as well.

27.83 34.00 Chlorite Breccia

This interval contains fragments of tan to grey quartzite in a matrix composed of chlorite dominantly with some carbonate and biotite. Matrix composed about 20% of the unit and has pyrite mineralization associated with it. Chlorite is a dark bluish green colour.

34.00 35.31 SF Quartzite Similar to above quartzite


This interval has a dark green matrix and fragments within it are quite angular. There is some pinkish iron carbonate rhombs present within the matrix. The quartzite fragments are much lighter grey than the surrounding quartzite fragments. The breccia is matrix supported. There is often biotite found within the matrix. Fragments sometimes have a greenish appearance due to a weak chlorite alteration.

37.48 45.10 SF Quartzite Medium buff grey in colour, lacking any significant alteration, minor pyrite.

45.10 45.66 SF Quartzite Breccia Buff grey fragments within a buff grey matrix, seems to be some sort of crackle breccia. Weak pyrite mineralization, biotite and chlorite associated with matrix.

45.66 47.77 SF Quartzite As above quartzite unit

47.77 51.45 Chlorite Breccia Chlorite matrix is a dark green colour and contains smaller fragments of quartzite along with flakes of biotite and rhombs of carbonate. Very weak sulphide mineralization associated with this interval.



This interval is different from the other quartzite sections seen in this hole. There is far more chlorite present in this interval. It can be seen both as a fracture filling mineral, as well there are some bands within the quartzite that have been moderately altered by chlorite. There are also some small hair line fractures almost perpendicular to the core that are infilled with carbonate.


This interval contains a lot more chlorite than previous section and less carbonate. Margins of fragments are somewhat diffuse and less rigid than pervious sections. Chlorite is also seen penetrating into fragments as a spotty alteration.

59.64 64.44 SF Quartzite This section is similar to the above quartzite with some weak chlorite alteration. There is a small zone of quartzite breccia observed between 62.75m and 63.1m.


The chlorite within this breccia interval has a more waxy appearance and commonly contains some weak hematitic alteration. Moderate pyrite mineralization. Fragments are weakly altered by hematite and are also rimmed by more intense hematite alteration.

71.26 88.07 SF Chlorite-Quartzite Breccia

This unit is slightly different from the quartzite breccias seen in this hole. There is a lot of chlorite occurring pervasively throughout as well chlorite is altering fragments and occurring in bands present within the quartzite. Chlorite content increases gradually moving down the interval. Fragments have quite diffuse margins and are sub-rounded in shape. There is a minor amount of sulphide present and most commonly associated with the chlorite alteration.

88.07 90.38 SF Quartzite This unit is very dark grey in colour and strongly banded with pyrite mineralization that occurs in bands as well as disseminated throughout. The unit is very fine grained to aphanitic and weakly chloritic.


This interval contains both hematite and chlorite alteration. The fragments seem to have a somewhat wispy nature and bleed into the surrounding matrix. Pyrite is observed both within the quartzite fragments as well as associated with the chlorite matrix.


This unit starts of having bands of green and grey material and as we move down the section we see the introduction of orange bands possibly iron carbonate. Bands within this unit are irregular and folded, looks like small scale kink folds. Epidote bands common throughout the interval.

As this is the top of the hole, this unit is very broken up. The fragments are moderately hematitic with some grey un-altered portions. The matrix is a dark grey green chlorite with smaller quartzite fragments within. This breccia is clast supported and fragments are quite angular. Weak pyrite mineralization.


This unit is a medium buff grey colour, it is also very broken up splitting commonly along bleached fractures. There is no significant alteration or mineralization in this interval other than common bleached fractures cross-cutting the unit.


This unit has the appearance of being a crackle breccia. The matrix is composed of chlorite, but is only a very small component as between fragments the space is a few millimeters. Commonly fractures throughout the fragments have a bleached halo. This breccia is clast supported and the fragments are very angular.

15.15 16.88 SF Quartzite This interval is a buff grey colour with numerous sporadic bleached fractures. Primary bedding planes are still somewhat visible. No significant alteration or mineralization.

16.88 27.00 Chlorite-Carbonate Breccia

The matrix of this unit is chlorite with carbonate rhombs. The chlorite content increases moving down the section, as the carbonate content of the matrix decreases. Also the fragments become more hematitically altered moving down the section. The chlorite is a very dark grayish green colour and sometimes contains biotite. Very weak sulphide mineralization.


This is a buff grey quartzite containing numerous hematite infilled fractures throughout. The lower contact is very broken up. There is a small interval of breccia from 28.8m to 29.0m, so this interval may be a large fragment within the breccia.

29.50 41.42 Olivine Diabase/Lamprophyre

This unit is homogeneous with fining of grain size toward the margins of the unit. There are bands throughout which appear to be magnetite and are all oriented in the same direction parallel to one another. Some small fractures with chlorite infilling sporadically throughout. Areas of varioles consisting of a soft radiating fibrous green mineral growth emanating from the center, could be talc. Same mineral found within the rock to a lesser extent. Varioles are approximately 2-7mm in diameter. Occurs at about 34.4 to 35m. Within this unit there appears to be bands of coarser material consisting of the same material as finer grain bands. Leucocratic and melanocratic minerals are much more segregated in coarser bands. Leucocratic section show secondary alteration. Dark grey perthitic material that is soft and found interstitially, graphitic, sub-metallic, evenly distributed throughout representing about 20% of the rock. Clear coloured acicular crystals throughout with frosted coloured textured mineral interstitially. Above two minerals about 50% of rock. Mafic minerals include serpentine in fractures and a dark green mineral which seems to be associated with the perthitic like material. Between 17-22 ams.


Light cream tan becoming medium grey towards base, light tan grey due to bleaching proximal to the earlier mafic intrusion. Adjacent to mafic intrusion shows spotted dark coloured porphyroblasts 1mm in size. Light coloured bleaching along fractures.



Consisting of crackle breccia containing minimal matrix material. Held together by quartzite matrix, however locally having minor chlorite and minor iron carbonate. The unit is a light tan to slightly orange near top of unit becoming bleached further down the unit along particular bands and areas separated by small intervals of un-brecciated quartzite which could be larger fragments.


Medium grey, uniform, local areas of light grey bleaching. Starts of as a dark brown grey developing into medium grey. The base of the unit shows minor amounts of brecciation. Local concentrations of pyrite, but very minor.


Crackle breccia, hardly any matrix material. Begins as a pastel green colour with hairline fractures containing dark green chlorite and silica. There are areas of hematitic alteration developing as pink patches of pervasive alteration.

65.07 68.57 SF Quartzite Banded light grey with dark grey, becoming undulating towards base of unit. Pink hematitic bands increase in abundance moving down section.

68.57 69.20 Mafic Intrusive Dark grey, highly crystalline, uniform, magnetic. Similar to the previous mafic intrusive unit. Mag readings between 17 and 27ams.


Consisting of crackle breccia with slightly bleached fragments of pinkish grey quartzite cemented with quartzite and minor hairline fracture filling of chlorite. Breccia units separated by bands of quartzite, possibly very large fragments. Crackle breccia becomes more open moving towards the base. Matrix near the bottom of the interval composed about 10%.

85.70 88.10 SF Quartzite Light grey quartzite with slight banding of white fuzzy flecks of calcite, diffuse and about 1mm, become less abundant towards base of unit.

88.10 94.93 SF Quartzite Dark grey to grey brown, slightly banded with minor pinkish brown alteration towards base of unit.


Same quartzite as above, slightly more hematitic alteration. Some localized areas around 96m containing strong chloritic alteration. Several other areas of strong chloritic alteration occur near the base of the unit between 97.3-98m. At 98.17m-98.48m there is a fragment/unconformity of limestone.

98.17 98.47 EF Limestone Light gray with numerous discontinuous thin (<1cm) dark gray bands and lines of more argillaceous material. Reacts strongly to acid.

98.47 98.74 EF Limestone Irregular 1-2 cm. Green chloritic banding and discontinuous black bands of magnetite separated by recrystalized white finely crystalline calcite, possibly skarn-like.

98.74 99.23 EF Limestone As above in unit 98.17 - 98.47.

99.23 103.10 EF Limestone Dark green and mottled light green epidote bands throughout with minor bands of light gray limestone.

11.50 20.10 SF Quartzite This unit is a medium buff grey colour, there are fractures occurring sporadically throughout the unit that cause a bleached halo. Some small hairline fractures throughout are infilled with thin hairline chlorite alteration.

20.10 25.72 Chlorite-Carbonate breccia

This interval is composed of about 25% matrix material. The matrix is composed of carbonate rhombs with chlorite infilling the areas in-between the rhombs. Pyrite and chalcopyrite are found within the chlorite-carbonate matrix. The quartzite fragments are light grey as they have become bleached by alteration processes.

25.72 27.36 SF Quartzite This unit is similar to the above quartzite unit. There are small carbonate infilled fractures throughout. Parts of this interval are broken up.


This unit is similar to the above chlorite-carbonate breccia, except the chlorite is starting to become the more dominant alteration mineral and there are more sulphides present in this unit than the previous. We are beginning to see more pyrrhotite mineralization as well.

34.76 36.60 SF Quartzite This unit is a medium tan grey colour with sporadic chlorite infilled fractures, This could be a large fragment in the breccia as it has diffuse margins.


This unit is similar to the above breccia, pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization are observed throughout the breccia matrix. Fragments within the brecciated areas are lighter grey colour than the surrounding rock.


The beginning of this interval is somewhat similar to the above unit, however containing far less matrix material. As we progress down the interval, the chlorite carbonate content becomes significantly reduced. Only small amounts of carbonate are observed between fragments with thin hairline haloes of chlorite alteration.

60.30 68.50 SF Quartzite.

This unit is very broken up, commonly along bleached fractures. There is a moderate lineation defined by primary bedding. Fracture present with bleached halos occur sporadically throughout the quartzite in random orientations.


This breccia unit consists of about 10% matrix material mostly consisting of carbonate, however chlorite content increases in the matrix moving down the section to the base of the unit where the strongest chlorite alteration occurs. Quartzite fragments are large and commonly bleached by alteration.

79.74 81.20 Shear zone

This unit contains abundant chlorite and small brecciated fragments. There is also a weak hematitic component to the fragments within the breccia. The unit is strongly banded with grey, brown, pink and green coloured bands. Fragments of quartzite are elongate in a preferred orientation.


This interval is a breccia composed of 25% matrix material consisting of large coarse grained rhombs of calcite and iron carbonate. Fragments of quartzite are around 1m large and range in colour from medium grey to light grey in areas of bleaching. Some weak pyrite mineralization is apparent in the matrix material at the top of the section and dwindles out moving down the hole. Some smaller fragments within the matrix are pinkish in colour due to a weak pervasive hematitic alteration.

99.55 106.25 SF Quartzite This interval is a medium grey colour, it has fractures throughout that cause a bleached halo around them.

106.25 113.00 Carbonate Breccia As the above carbonate breccia, however we only really see hematite alteration coming in at the end of the hole.

This unit is a grey quartzite with a hematitic brick red alteration overprinting. The alteration is pervasive coming up through fractures in the rock and alters outwards. The unit is massive and all primary textures have become overprinted by alteration.


This interval is a buff grey colour losing all hematite alteration. There are olive green cherty looking fragments throughout which are only about 5% of the interval. Some of these small fragments have weak hematite alteration,. No primary textures observed in this unit either. Weak bleaching occurs at the beginning and at the end of the interval.


This unit is as the above hematitically altered quartzite unit. There are more fractures present in this unit almost perpendicular to the core axis and parallel to one another. The material between is very clay rich and causes the core to be very broken up in this section.


This unit is light pinkish grey to salmon pink in colour and becomes more locally altered to a salmon pink in some places. The hematite alteration is generally moderate however can become strong or weak sporadically throughout the section. In more grey coloured areas with less alteration, hematite is observed infilling fractures as opposed to the pervasive alteration. All primary textures have become overprinted. Gradational lower contact. 40.60m is where there is complete absence of hematite.

40.60 44.33 SF Quartzite This unit is very dark grey and lacking any significant alteration.


This unit is slightly bleached around fractures and we are beginning to see the re-appearance of hematite within fractures. Hematite is weakly pervasively altering the host rock as well. Fractures in this unit are roughly perpendicular to the core axis. The quartzite is medium grey to slightly pinkish.


Light tan to flesh coloured quartzite, highly bleached containing some quartz veining 1-3cm width. There is a quartz vein at the beginning of the interval about 7cm in width.


Medium to light grey quartzite with occasional minor bands of bleached tan coloured areas with associated minor fractures containing iron carbonate with minor pyrite. The middle part of the unit consists of a lot of broken core due to numerous fractures.


Consists of light tan to slightly flesh coloured quartzite with minor areas of medium grey quartzite. Lighter coloured areas due to possible bleaching.


Medium grey quartzite with several minor areas of light grey sometimes associated with minor quartz veining. Minor pyrite present sporadically throughout this interval. In the area of 81-84m quartzite develops a speckled texture with minor development of biotite and disseminated pyrite (~4%).

87.60 87.86 Shear Zone Tan coloured to light grey highly sheared. Serecite present aligned along the orientation of the shear.


Medium grey, uniform quartzite. Same material as above the shear. Base of unit shows a slightly bleached area with minor fracturing and containing disseminated pyrite in local spots.

91.72 94.30 Mafic dyke Dark grey, fine grained uniform mafic dyke. Minor pyrrhotite. Appears to be a Nipissing diabase that is finely crystalline. Mag readings between 28 and 44ams.


Upper contact shows minor bleaching with some fracturing. The rest of the interval is a buff grey quartzite with minor bleached fractures throughout.

This interval is a medium grey colour, it is well banded with bands of possible alteration ranging from green to pink to darker grey. Looks like it could be altered primary bedding. Small fractures occur sporadically throughout that are infilled with quartz. As well carbonate alteration is patchy and commonly in small blebs associated with specific bedding horizons.


This unit is strongly brecciated and the matrix material is a chlorite, however the space between fragments is only on the order of a few mm`s, so the alteration is relatively weak. Strong sulphide mineralization within the chloritized breccia matrix. Some quartzite fragments are banded and some bands are weakly altered by hematite. Breccia matrix is more dominated by carbonate at the top of the interval and becomes more chlorite rich moving down the section. 10 to 15% matrix material.


More of a crackle breccia than the previous unit. Quartzite is a tan brown to salmon colour by hematitic alteration. The unit has abundant anhedral porphyroblasts of carbonate altered matrix with chlorite. Porphyroblasts can be up to 40% in some local areas. Areas of wider brecciation contain chlorite with pyrite. Matrix composes about 15-20% of the interval. The unit becomes less hematitic towards the base.

45.22 48.89 SF Quartzite breccia Brownish grey crackle breccia. Containing minor chlorite and carbonate within the fractures. There is weak hematitic alteration of the fragments.


Containing medium grey quartzite fragments with minor chlorite occurring as the matrix material. Fragments appear to be rather large and matrix material to compose 10% of the unit overall. Local areas of disseminated pyrite.


Medium grey quartzite fragments with local hematitic alteration. Hematitic alteration is minor to moderate. Areas of fractures containing masses of blebby pyrite. Pervasive chloritic alteration causing the quartzite to appear somewhat greenish in colour. Pyrite present along the margins of fragments.

62.89 66.88 SF Quartzite This quartzite has a moderate pervasive chloritic alteration causing it to be a greenish grey colour. There are bands of weak hematitic alteration that occur sporadically throughout the unit and very weak disseminated pyrite.


This unit contains grey quartzite fragments within a strongly chloritic matrix. The fragments are a few centimeters to about 20cm. The matrix composed about 20% of the interval. Within the matrix there is strong pyrite mineralization commonly rimmed by bright red hematite.

69.49 74.14 Chlorite breccia This unit is similar to the above, but there is a decrease in the chlorite alteration and pyrite mineralization moving towards the lower contact with the limestone.


This limestone is mostly buff grey carbonate bands with occasional chloritically altered banding. Some bands also containing weak hematite alteration as well as small mm scale banding of epidote grains. Sporadic fractures cross-cutting the foliation are infilled with carbonate alteration.
