INTRODUCTION

Brian Wright and Associates currently hold a number of claims in

McGarry and McFadden Townships, Larder Lake Mining Division. A

geological mapping over the entire property and stream sediment

sampling program on claim 1180059 was completed during the

spring Si summer of 1993- This report will detail observations made

during this program and recommend future exploration programs to

be carried out on the property.

LOCATION. ACCESSIBILITY.

The claim block is located in the south-east portion of McGarry

Township and the north-central portion of McFadden. Larder Lake

Mining Division, District of Timiskaming, Ontario, Canada (figure l ).

HISTORY OF THE CLAIM BLOCK

Despite being within a half a mile of a major gold mine (the Kerr

Mine ) the property has been overlooked in the past and little if any

exploration work has been completed on the property. The history of

the area in the vicinity of the present claim block is well documented

at the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines branch office in

Kirkland Lake. Table l outlines the chronological history of the claim

block and the adjacent properties.

Table l : History of the Property and Adjacent Properties

Year Company and Work Completed

1937 Highridge Mining Company Ltd. and Wesley Gold Mines

Limited controlled the property immediately north of the

present claim block. A total of 13 surface diamond drill

holes on their property were completed totaling 10,352

feet. The thickness of the Cobalt sediments above the

Archean volcanic basement was between 210 feet and

670 feet. All holes were drilled into the Northeast Arm

Shear Zone, Of importance is the fact that Hole * 6

penetrated the overlying Cobalt sediments and

intersected gold mineralization in the underlying volcanic

terrain that forms part of the shear zone. The gold

mineralization was logged as being associated with a well

mineralized quartz/carbonate-rich chloritic carbonatized

Page 8: GEOLOGICAL REPORT ON THE WRIGHT PROPERTY …...lo*wr Supergroups 4 4* Stttd Group. -1b Hunter Mint Group. 4c Upp*sr Fm., Deloro Group 3 ^j Cii^crinc Group, 3c Middl* Fm.. Deloro Group

schist. This underlying mineralized schist yielded 0.18

opt gold across 19 feet including 0.29 opt across 8.2 feet.

1943 Larder "U" Island Mines Ltd. and Great Larder Gold Mines

controlled the property immediately west of the present

claim block. Prospecting, mapping, trenching and

diamond drilling were completed on their property. All

diamond drilling was confined to the Northeast Arm

Shear Zone. The thickness of the Cobalt sediments was

between 200 and 500 feet. Of importance is the fact that

hole * 3 penetrated the overlying sediments and

intersected anomalous gold values. The gold

mineralization was logged as being associated with a talc

carbonate schist. Also of interest is hole * 2 which

intersected gold mineralization in the Cobalt sediments

yielding up to 0. l opt gold across 2.0 feet,

1980-81 Placer Development Ltd. held a large portion of the

present claim block. Prospecting, mapping, geochemistry,

airborne radiometric survey, and diamond drilling were

completed on their property, a total of 4 drill holes

totalling over 3000 feet were completed east of the

current claim block. The thickness of the Cobalt

sediments above the underlying Archean volcanic

basement was between 670 to 960 feet.

1984-93 Mr. R. A. MacGregor holds the property immediately

northwest of the present claim block, several geophysical

programs were completed on his property. Sporadic

surface sampling yielded negligible gold values.

1991-93 Mr. Brian Wright staked the present claim block.

Work completed to date includes prospecting, stream

sediment sampling and geological mapping of claim

1180059 at a scale of l inch to 200 feet ( see back

pocket).

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The regional geology has been adequately described by John

Hamilton in his 1986 Masters thesis as a " belt of Archean volcanic

and sedimentary rocks that form a northeast trending Subprovince

of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield (M.E.R.Q. -

O.G.S.. ). It stretches for about 800 km across northern Ontario and

Quebec (figure 3 ). The Abitibi belt is bounded to the north by the

Opaticametasedimentary gneiss belt ( Card et al., 1981 ). and to the

south is covered by Huronian sedimentary rocks (figure 4 ) . The

western and eastern boundaries are the Kapuskasing Structural zone

( Percival and Card, 1985 ) in Ontario and the Grenville Province in

Quebec, respectively.

The western portion of the Abitibi belt that borders the Kapuskasing

Structural Zone is characterized by synclinal cusps, asymmetrical

linear belts and small outliers of volcanic and sedimentary rocks

Page 13: GEOLOGICAL REPORT ON THE WRIGHT PROPERTY …...lo*wr Supergroups 4 4* Stttd Group. -1b Hunter Mint Group. 4c Upp*sr Fm., Deloro Group 3 ^j Cii^crinc Group, 3c Middl* Fm.. Deloro Group

which occur marginal to and suspended in large batholithic

complexes composed of quartzo-feldspathic gneisses and granitoid

rocks. Eastward in the Timmins - Kirkland Lake area volcano-

sedimentary supracrustal rocks dominate over granitoids. In the

central part of this area, the supracrustal rocks appear to be

distributed in a large basin, generally referred to as the Blake River

Synclinorium which is bounded by two major east-west trending

fault zones (figure 5 ). A similar broad anticline cored by the Round

Lake Batholith occurs to the south of the Larder Lake Break. Further

to the east, in Quebec, the belt of supracrustal rocks of the Abitibi

Belt widens and has been subdivided by Dimroth et al., into three

large geotectonic subdivisions called the internal Zone. External Zone,

and the Foreland ( Bellecombe Belt ) Zone. The Blake River

Synclinorium is included within the the Internal Zone ".

" Jensen ( 1978a ) has outlined two major volcanic cycles in the

Kirkland Lake district. Rocks of the older volcanic cycle are restricted

to the outer regions of the Blake River Synclinorium, occupying the

core of the Lake Abitibi Anticline in the north and the rim of the

Round Lake Batholith in the south. The upper volcanic cycle

dominates the central portion of the Blake River Synclinorium. The

entire stratigraphic section of the two major cycles is interpreted to

be at least 50 km. in thickness ( Jenson and Langford, 1983 ).

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

The geology of the claim group has been documented as being

entirely covered by Cobalt sediments of Proterzoic age. Mr. R. A.

MacGregor's property, located immediately to the west of the present

claim block, is also underlain by rocks of the Cobalt Group, Mr.

MacGregor, 1990 states that" The Cobalt Group consists of fine

grained greenish to greenish-grey greywackes to coarser grained

greenish to brownish arkoses to polymetalic heterolithic

conglomerates. The greywackes were observed to carry very fine

mud clasts in places. The arkoses are sand sized to coarser grading

almost to micro conglomerates in places. The conglomerates stand out

because of their variety and large clast sizes. Pink to whitish

granites, porphyries and greenish volcanics predominate, but bedded

siltstone, iron formation and greywackes were also noted. The

contact between the coarse conglomerate and finer grained

greywacke arkose appears to be quite sharp although many of the

contacts are obscured by overburden. The rocks appear to dip gently

to the east." The actual thickness of the Cobalt sediments on the

property has not been determined but drilling on nearby properties

would indicate a range between 200 and 700 feet.

Structurally, the claim block has been documented as being

underlain by a major northeast trending fault called the Milky Creek

Fault (Thomson. 1949 ) . Hamilton ( 1986 ) describes this fault or

secondary splay as part of a larger parallel system of shears referred

to as the the Northeast Arm Shear Zone (figure 6 ) . The Northeast

Arm Shear Zone continues northeastward off the property where it

sinistrally offsets the Larder Lake Break in the vicinity of the the

Kerr Mine. It also continues southwestward off the the property into

Hearst Township where it hosts several gold deposits. The

Page 16: GEOLOGICAL REPORT ON THE WRIGHT PROPERTY …...lo*wr Supergroups 4 4* Stttd Group. -1b Hunter Mint Group. 4c Upp*sr Fm., Deloro Group 3 ^j Cii^crinc Group, 3c Middl* Fm.. Deloro Group

economically attractive gold deposits in the area are almost always

spacially associated along the Larder Lake Break or with secondary

splays off the main break (figure 7 ). These structures in all

probability, acted as conduits where the mobilization of gold bearing

fluids would migrate into structurally porous areas and could

eventually concentrate into significant gold bearing environment.

Other structures of interest on the property include two circular

depressions that may be the weathered expressions of kimberlite

pipes.

PRESENT WORK PROGRAM

The present work program of mapping and prospecting was designed

with the following objectives; To locate any possible Archean

windows on the property as reported by local prospectors

( Mandzuik 1980 ) . To determine possible Archean structures that

have a expression through the Cobalt cover. To investigate the

possibility of gold within the Cobalt formation. The entire claim

block was mapped at a scale of l inch to 200 feet with 400 foot line

spacing. A total of 10 stream sediment samples were collected and

are to be analyzed for kimberlite indicator minerals ( results pending

) . The results of this program are presented in the geological map

inclosed in the back pocket.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The program did not provide the results anticipated but a more

complete understanding of the geology of the property was obtained.

Page 18: GEOLOGICAL REPORT ON THE WRIGHT PROPERTY …...lo*wr Supergroups 4 4* Stttd Group. -1b Hunter Mint Group. 4c Upp*sr Fm., Deloro Group 3 ^j Cii^crinc Group, 3c Middl* Fm.. Deloro Group

The reported occurances of Archean rocks on the property could not

be located. These occurs were reported by the man who had logged

the area in the 1920's and it is possible that these rocks could be

flooded by beaver ponds. The probability that the Archean rocks

may have been float or do not exist on the surface of the property

seems to be the most likely scenario.

The Huronian rocks have been deposited under low energy

conditions and do not appear to be sorted well enough to concentrate

heavy minerals to produce paleoplacer deposits.

The stream sediment sampling failed to produce any indicator

minerals for diamonds but further work in this area is warranted.

A total of 10 samples weighting approximately 25 kilograms each

were hauled out of the bush and 5 were sent for analysis . Three

samples that were taken downstream from the suspected kimberlite

consisted of clay and were washed away in the screening process and

no concentrate was recovered. Two samples taken up ice from the

target did produce a concentrate but no indicator minerals were

recovered.

The completed program did not produce immediate results but the

location and structures on the property require further detailed

exploration. The best chance for an economic deposit to be

discovered is in the Archean Formations underlying the Huronian

rocks.

STRUCTURES AND MINERALIZATION

During the current mapping program the presence of a large parallel

fault and shear system was indicated or detected. The Milky Creek

Fault is evident in places along a large escarpment trending N 50 E

that more or less cuts the property in half. The movement or

displacement of this fault could not be determined from surface , To

the east of this fault a larger escarpment with up to 700 feet of

vertical distance occurs. This ridge has been previously called part of

Page 20: GEOLOGICAL REPORT ON THE WRIGHT PROPERTY …...lo*wr Supergroups 4 4* Stttd Group. -1b Hunter Mint Group. 4c Upp*sr Fm., Deloro Group 3 ^j Cii^crinc Group, 3c Middl* Fm.. Deloro Group

the Milky Creek Fault System but appears to match up with the

Southwest McFadden Fault that has been identified to the south and

west of the property. To the west of the Milky Creek Fault there are

three parallel lineaments that may be the surface expression of some

underlying fault or shear system.

The present program did not detect any veins over six inches in

width but several veinlets were detected but were not considered

significant. A slight pinkish ( possible feldspar) alteration was

present with these veinlets.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE EXPLORATION

The prospecting and mapping failed to find any Archean windows on

the property or defined drill targets for gold mineralization. To

define possible gold targets on the property a systematic exploration

program has been proposed. The establishment of a grid system at

400 foot spacing, on the property will require 30 miles of linecutting.

Upon completion of the linecutting the property will be mapped at a

scale of l inch to 200 feet. Prospecting with a beep mat to locate any

possible near surface conductors should establish if any Archean

windows are present on the property. Geophysical surveys

recommended to be completed are a ground magnetometer survey

and a Maxi-Probe E.M. survey to locate any deep seated structures or

mineralization. Completion of this program should establish targets

for follow up diamond drilling.

Should the results of the indicator mineral sampling prove

encouraging a R. C. drilling program over the 2 possible kimberlite

targets is recommended.

CONCLUSIONS

The property is located in a favorable environment to host economic

mineral deposits but work completed to date has been insufficient to

establish drill targets. Further exploration on the property is justified

and should be implemented as soon as possible.
