  • SUMMARY

    The .Goldhi 11/Golden Gate property consists of fifty one

    contiguous claims located approximately 25 kilometres southeast

    of Kenora, Ontario. The original 50 claims were optioned from

    local prospectors as a direct result of the 1984 northwestern

    Ontario gold reconnaissance program. One claim was staked by

    Kidd Creek in 1985.

    In 1985 work on these claims consisted of grid mapping of

    the claim block; surface stripping, trenching, mapping and

    sampling around known showings; ground VLF, magnetometer and

    limited IP geophysical surveys. In addition, humus samples

    taken by previous owners were submitted for analysis.

    The 1985 program has identified erratic high grade gold

    mineralization confined to quartz veins within narrow shear

    zones. Encouraging results from the gold-bearing veins coupled

    with weak geophysical anomalies have defined three areas which

    are to be diamond drill-tested.

    CONCLUSIONS

    1) Gold occurs as free grains or with chalcopyrite within

    quartz veins which are hosted by narrow shear zones.

    2) The free nature of the gold results in an erratic

    distribution.

    3) Gold contents are not diluted in wider veins.

  • 11

    4) Associated metallic minerals are chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite,

    and pyrite. The presence of chalcopyrite may be a good

    indicator of potential gold mineralization.

    5) The shear zones which host the gold-bearing veins trend

    northeast, southeast and east-west.

    6) Both the shear zones and the veins are discontinuous along

    strike. Exposed veins range from 10 to 33 m long. The

    shear zones develop on structural "horizons" which may be

    hundreds of metres long but shearing is significant over

    shorter distances.

    7) The amount of significant shearing along a given horizon

    is not known.

    8) Regional geology and shear zone fabric indicate vertical

    movement has occurred, therefore the veins are expected to

    have greater vertical than horizontal extent.

    9) No distinct mineralogical or chemical anomalies are

    associated with shear zones, regardless of whether or not

    the shear zone hosts a gold-bearing quartz vein. There is

    a hint that As may have a negative correlation, Ba and W a

    positive correlation with gold; in shears which host gold-

    bearing veins. Gold appears to be its own pathfinder

    element.

  • 111.

    10) A test humus sampling program has given background gold

    values of 1-2 ppb. Over known mineralized structures the

    content increases and is erratic, ranging from 8 to 20

    ppb.

    11) Results of the ground VLF geophysical survey showed no

    correlation to known structures. Results of the ground

    magnetometer survey were ambiguous and are presently not

    considered useful in pursuing gold mineralization.

    12) IP geophysical surveys were conducted over the Blackjack-

    Slamdance area, the Goldhill (Pebble vein) structure and

    the Golden Gate structures. Subtle anomalies occur in

    association with some of the structures or along their

    strike extent.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    1) It is recommended that the known gold-bearing structures

    be diamond drill-tested.

    2) Choice of targets is based on 1) presence of economic gold

    mineralization on surface, 2) coincidence of IP anomaly

    with the known structure, 3) coincidence of IP anomaly

    with predicted structure, and 4) potential for gold

    mineralization based on historical record of development

    in a given structure.

  • IV

    3) The structures to be tested are the Golden Gate veins;

    Blackjack, Blackjack North shears and Slamdance vein;

    Pebble and related? veins at the Goldhill minesite.

    4) The drilling must consist of several, short holes

    penetrating each structure as often as possible to

    determine vein continuity and to improve the chances of

    intersecting gold mineralization.

    5) Follow-up work will be dictated by the results of drilling

    but may incorporate combined humus geochemical surveys and

    IP surveys to locate other potential gold-bearing

    structures. This work should initially be concentrated

    anywhere that gold in shear zones has returned values

    greater than 100 ppb.

  • INTRODUCTION

    General Statement

    The Goldhill property (Figures 2 and 3) and the adjoining

    Golden Gate property (Figures 2 and 4) are hosts to high grade

    gold mineralization. These properties were acquired as a

    direct result of the 1984 gold reconnaissance program in

    Northwestern Ontario.

    The 1985 program found that free gold occurs in quartz

    veins which are controlled by shear zone development. Minor

    amounts of pyrite and pyrrhotite occur in the veins but do not

    show a clear relationship to gold mineralization.

    Chalcopyrite, which is generally minor reaches concentrations

    of up to 7% in some veins and has a weak positive correlation

    to gold. The exact controls of gold mineralization have yet to

    be defined but it seems likely that shear-zone control, similar

    to that in Yellowknife could be a factor. The 1985 study has

    shown that there is potential for high grade, low tonnage gold

    mineralization at Goldhi11/Golden Gate in 4 different

    locations.

    This report briefly summarizes the work done to date, the

    present understanding of the geologic setting and controls on

    gold mineralization and the potential for economic

    mineralization.

    Location and Access

    The Goldhill and Golden Gate properties are located 20 km

    southeast of Kenora by air (Figure 1). Access is provided by

  • a gravel (and clay) logging road, constructed by Boise Cascade

    Canada Ltd. The gravel road extends east from Highway 71, 10

    km south of Fort Frances turn off (Hwy 17 k 71 junction). The

    property is a one hour drive from Kenora.

    Claim Status

    The Goldhill property includes 36 contiguous, unpatented

    claims (Table I, Figure 2). The Golden Gate property comprises

    13 contiguous unpatented claims and one patented claim (Table

    II, Figure 2). The claim blocks are adjacent and are located

    in the Kenora Mining Division. The properties were optioned

    from local prospector-owners in September, 1984. They are 1001

    owned by Kidd Creek Mines Ltd., subject to a 10* net profits

    royalty. One additional claim was staked in 1985 by Kidd Creek

    Mines Ltd. and adjoins the south portion of the Goldhill

    property, overlapping Magnet Lake.

    Previous Work

    Work to date on the Goldhill and Golden Gate properties is

    summarized in Table Ilia and b respectively. Extensive

    historical background is provided in reports by W. D. Bond

    (1985) and A. Howard (1984). The Goldhill Mine was in

    production when destroyed by fire in 1899.

  • 1985 Kidd Creek Work

    The 1985 Kidd Creek Mines Ltd. program was composed of two

    overlapping projects. One was property scale exploration of

    the Goldhil I/Golden Gate claim block. The other was detailed

    exploration in the vicinity of old shafts, pits and trenches.

    Property exploration consisted of geological mapping and

    sampling carried out by Terry Chong under the author's

    supervision, and magnetometer and VLF ground geophysical

    surveys, carried out by Bruce Pigeon under the supervision of

    the author and Mike Zang. The property mapping was conducted

    at 2 scales; 1:1000 in the area of the Black jack-Goldhi 11-

    Golden Gate workings and 1:2000 over the remainder. The maps

    were compiled and reduced to 1:5000 for this report (Figures 3

    and 4). Lithogeochemical sampling concentrated on shear zones

    and veins. All shear zones samples were analyzed for "Gold *

    20" by Bondar Clegg, Ottawa. Five samples were analyzed for

    major elements.

    Detailed exploration employed a contracted timberjack

    fitted with a backhoe to remove extensive muck piles and

    overburden from around existing workings. Fire pumps were used

    in unison with the timberjack tp clean the bedrock suitable for

    detailed sampling. All sites were mapped at a scale of 1:200.

    Jim Clark had the task of keeping the pumps working and getting

    the areas cleaned up. Trenching was completed at some of these

    sites, and resulted in the discovery of copper-gold

    mineralization in the Slamdance vein.

  • REGIONAL GEOLOGY

    The regional geology (Fig. 1) was discussed at some length

    by W. D. Bond (1985) who cites several previous authors. In

    1984 the OGS mapped an area.which included the Goldhi11/Golden

    Gate properties (Ayers et al, 1985) and in 1985. this program

    was continued further west. The geology of this region of Lake

    of the Woods is also the topic of a University of Toronto MSc.

    Thesis (Styx, 1985).

    The Goldhill/Golden Gate property is situated within a

    thick, monotonous lower sequence of southerly facing mafic

    volcanic rocks (Figure 2). Styx (1985) divided the mafic pile

    into four cycles based on geochemical variation. The basalts

    of Goldhill/Golden Gate belong to Styx's cycle II and III

    (Appendix B). Toward the stratigraphic top of this sequence,

    just south of the Goldhill property, are a series of

    differentiated gabbro sills. These sills contain bands of

    concentrated magnetite and show up on the airborne magnetometer

    survey as narrow curvilinear anomalies (Appendix D). South of

    these is a pile of intermediate to felsic pyroclastic and

    volcaniclastic rocks.

    The mafic volcanic^ and_J:he^pyroclastic sequences are cut

    off in the east by the Dryberry Batholith. The contact between

    the volcanic rocks and this multi-phased granitoid body trends

    north-northwest through the central half of the Golden Gate

    property.

    The basalts and mafic sills south of Goldhill/Golden Gate

    occur in east-west trending isoclinal folds (Figure 2).

  • 11Northwest of the property, a broad anticlinal axis strikes

    northeast, normal to the Dryberry Batholith contact. This

    broad structure and the curved gabbroic sills suggest the main

    structural impact on the lower mafic volcanic sequence is

    doming, likely related to the emplacement of the Dryberry

    Batholith. The tight folding of the basalts and. sills in the

    south may be related to the Crow Duck - Gibi Lake fault system

    which Bond (1985) identified in this area (Figure 5). The

    significance of this fault system is not understood, but the

    Wendigo mine (67,423 oz) and the Duport mine (est. 500,000 oz)

    occur along shears which may be splays from the main structure.

    In the Witch Bay area, the fault zone marks the change from

    mainly mafic flows to mainly intermediate volcaniclastic rocks

    (Fig. 2). Near the Duport mine, the "Duport Deformation Zone"

    occurs near the top of the "Lower Komati itic-Tholeii t ic

    Series", close to the contact with the "Upper Calc-alkaline

    Series" (Smith, 1984).

    GEOLOGY - GOLDHILL/GOLDEN GATE

    Li thology

    The Goldhill property (Figures 2 and 3) is exclusively

    underlain by south-facing..^pj-Llowed and massive flows and some

    coarser, gabbro-textured, sill-like bodies which are likely

    thick flows. Minor north-south trending porphyritic mafic

    dykes crosscut the volcanic pile. The Golden Gate property

    (Figures 2 and 4) is underlain by Lower Cycle mafic volcanic

    rocks and the southwest portion of the Dryberry Batholith. The

    mafic volcanics show incipient epidote patches and local

    inter-pillow pyrite.

    Appendix B-l contains a list of the whole rock

    geochemistry of eight basalts, compared to tholeiites of Red

    Lake, and a Jensen cation plot of the eight Goldhill/Golden

    Gate samples. Styx (1985); (Appendix B-2, Fig. 2) identified

    these rocks as iron-tholeiites. Lack of vesicles-suggest water

    depths exceeded 2000 m. The epidote patches and interpillow

    pyrite could be the result of primary seawater/rock

    interaction. These rocks probably represent an abyssal

    submarine lava plain.

    Within approximately 200 m of the Dryberry Batholith

    granitic dykes are emplaced into the volcanic rocks. The

    Dryberry Batholith itself is a massive, homogenous granitoid

    body.

    Structure

    Deformation occurs within distinct, narrow zones. These

    zones have knife-edged boundaries, intensely schistose fabrics

    and are dominated by chlorite with minor calcite and occasional

    biotite. Maximum widths vary from 10 cm to 5 m but average 40

    cm. The zones trend northeast, east, and southeast; the latter

    being the most commonly--obser-ved- orientation (Figure 3). The

    sharp boundaries and strong internal fabric are indicative of

    shear zones. In many cases, weathering has obscured the

    details of the internal fabric. Sense of shearing is

    interpreted after Platt (1984) and depends upon the orientation

    of the observer with respect to the movement, as illustrated in

    Figure 6. Shear sense, where legible, developed primarily in

    response to vertical movement. Minor horizontal dextral and

    S-fabric C-fabric

    Fig. 6 Shear zone fabric development relative to shear direction.

    The narrow width and remarkably knife-edged boundary of

    the shear zones makes them difficult targets. However,

    randomly oriented hairline fractures containing clinozoisite

    occur for up to 5 m away from some of the shears.

    Variations in the shear zones are indicated in Table IV, a

    summary of 6 shear zones with associated quartz veining and/or

    gold mineralization. The location of these veins and shears is

    illustrated in Figure 7 and Appendix A contains detailed maps

    and assay values for each.

    The basalts at Goldhi11/Golden Gate are heavily fractured.

    Air photo analysis by John Davies (unpublished) indicates at

    least ten different fracture- orientations. There is no

    preferred fracture orientation which would directly relate

    fracturing to shearing, and no attempt was made to analyze

    fractures. However, most of the fractures are subvertical.

    The apparent doming in the northwest, vertical shear sense

    and vertical fracturing are all evidence of vertical tectonics

    acting on the lower mafic volcanic cycle.

    VEINS

    Gold mineralization at Goldhi11/Golden Gate is found

    strictly related to quartz veins. Table IV summarizes

    similarities and differences in several characteristics among 6

    veins and shear zones examined. All main veins are composed

    exclusively of quartz which is recrystallized to varying

    degrees. Calcite is present in two veins but is unrelated to

    gold mineralization, occurring in vugs, with euhedral quartz.

    Ankerite veins occur at the Blackjack North.

    Wallrock inclusions are frequently highly attenuated

    (Plate 1). Folded veins of varying degree are found at the

    Pebble vein (Goldhill), near the production shaft, and at the

    Combination vein (Plates 2 and 3 respectively). The ankerite

    veins at the Blackjack North contain bands of chlorite and also

    angular wallrock inclusions (Plate 4). Similar brecciation in

    quartz is found at the Golden Gate No. l vein. The bands of

    chlorite and angular inclusions indicate crack and fill and

    explosive hydraulic fracturing were the main mechanisms of vein

    formation. Attenuated wallrock inclusions are found in the

    Pebble, Slamdance and Golden Gate Shaft veins. These veins

    probably formed by a similar mechanism but the inclusions have

    become drawn out during progressive deformation. Similarly,

    the strong recrystallization of quartz indicates post-

    emplacement deformation. The main quartz veins were likely

    emplaced into the shear zones which were forced open by

    dramatic increases in pore water pressure. This would occur

    because the inhomogenous vertical shear fabric developed

    favours horizontal failure of a vertical shear zone, parallel

    to the shear fabric (Kerrich s, Allison, 1978).

    Wallrock Alteration

    Minor wallrock alteration does occur at Blackjack North

    where a small amount of ankerite is present in wallrock to

    veinlets and at the Golden Gate Shaft where strong calcite and

    biotite accompany chlorite 10 cm from the vein. A moderate

    carb-sericite alteration is present in boulders' from a small

    ore(?) pile near the Blackjack shaft. These are possibly from

    workings which extended to Blackjack North.

    Calcite is ubiquitous in shear zones, occurring as pods

    and lenses in the plane of shearing. It never forms more than

    53 and no spatial variation was mapped which would suggest a

    link between calcite and gold mineralization.

    Twenty-one elements* were routinely analyzed in samples

    taken from barren shear zones throughout the property and from

    "productive" shear zones which host gold-bearing quartz veins.

    Of these, six elements (Na, Fe, As, Sb, W and Ba) are known to

    occur in anomalous quantities within gold-associated wallrock

    alteration haloes. Each of these elements have been plotted

    against gold for the two types of shear zones. Results from

    the barren shear zones (Figure 8a) indicate that no chemical

    signature - of the type often associated with gold

    mineralization - is present iri~~these zones. Results from the

    Blackjack, Blackjack North and Bulldog shears indicate slightly

    less scattering of the data (Fig. 8b). The data plots from the

    productive shear zones (Fig. 9) indicate that no distinct

    lithogeochemical signature is present in these shears; Fe, Na

    and Sb are unrelated to gold content, As may have a weak

    negative correlation, Ba and W may have weak positive

    correlations. The range of gold content in all types of shear

    zones is generally less than 3000 ppb. In massive basalt it

    ranges from < 2 t o 19 ppb. Examination of all three diagrams

    ' would suggest that shear zones which have gold contents greater

    than 100 ppb should be considered anomalous.

    GOLD AND RELATED(?) METALLIC MINERALIZATION

    The minor amounts of disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite,

    variable amounts of chalcopyrite and all gold at Goldhill/

    Golden Gate are restricted to quartz veins. Whether or not

    there is a genetic relationship between pyrite, pyrrhotite and

    gold is not yet known, but a weak positive correlation exists

    between copper and gold. A tentative paragenetic sequence

    (Bond, 1985) has pyrite followed by pyrrhotite + chalcopyrite 4-

    sphalerite. Gold was not observed in these particular

    samples.

    Gold occurs as free grains ranging from micron size (Bond,

    1985) up to 2 mm (Slamdance Vein). The disseminated sulphides

    are omnipresent in "quartz veins; the content and relative

    proportions of the sulphides vary haphazardly, unrelated to

    gold content. Table VI summarizes the various occurrences of

    gold within the veins at Goldhill/Golden Gate. Assay results,

    provided with the sample maps in Appendix A, clearly show the

    strong nugget effect encountered in the veins. In summary, the

    Golden Gate veins have returned the highest gold values from

    any of the showings. The shaft vein (A-l Si 2 ) gave fairly

  • 26

    consistent high grade values along 4 m of strike length. The

    Slamdance vein returned only one high grade gold value but

    three other grains of gold were found at different locations in

    the vein. Sporadic high grade gold was encountered in the

    Goldhill (Pebble) vein, which widens to nearly one metre in

    the east wall of the No. 2 shaft. Gold results were fairly

    consistent in the Combination vein, but were subeconomic due to

    the widths. Gold content, however does not seem to be diluted

    in wider veins and so with better width, the Combination Vein

    could become economic. The shear zones at the Blackjack area

    returned disappointing gold results.

    Preliminary evaluation of gold-copper results (Figure 10)

    indicates a weak positive correlation exists. Copper and gold

    show little correspondence at low copper contents but are more

    closely related when copper content increases; a feature which

    was also found by visually estimating chalcopyrite content

    (e.g. Combination Vein). At higher copper contents, the

    relationship is not consistent; 2 samples from the Slamdance

    vein yielded copper, gold values (in percent and gjn/tonne,

    respectively) of 1.97, 66.17, and 2.74, 1.71. Chalcopyrite

    content also varies from vein to vein; it is far more abundant

    in the Combination and Slamdance veins than at the others,

    although some was found at the bottom of a trench at the

    Blackjack North (and yielded 4.94 gm/t gold) and is present in

    dump samples at the Blackjack (Bond, 1985). Figure 10 shows

    that in the Golden Gate samples there is no correlation between

    gold and copper. Malachite, a copper-carbonate mineral was

    also observed in some quartz veins.

    The lack of correlation of pyrite and pyrrhotite to gold

    may be a result of recrystallization. The weak correlation of

    copper and gold in each sample is not as important as the fact

    that, broadly speaking (Golden Gate excepted), concentrations

    of chalcopyrite are spatially related to concentrations of

    gold.

    CONTROLS ON GOLD MINERALIZATION

    Stratigraphi c

    No shear zones have been recognized in the Dryberry

    Batholith. All shear zones and related gold-bearing veins are

    restricted to the basalt sequence but they are not stratiform,

    nor are they bound by any particular horizons within the basalt

    sequence. Therefore stratigraphy has only broad controls over

    gold mineralization. The contact zone between the basalts and

    batholith is poorly exposed and has not been thoroughly

    explored on the Golden Gate property. It is possible that

    structural control might override the apparent stratigraphic

    control and gold could be found in the granitoid rocks near the

    contact.

    Chemical

    Results of the lithogeochemical analyses, discussed

    previously, indicate that no major hydrothermal system is

    associated with gold discovered so far on the Goldhill and

    Golden Gate properties. Presently chemical control of gold

    mineralization is limited to the fundamental conclusion that

    the system which deposited gold probably also deposited quartz

    and the sulphide minerals.

  • 29

    The minor and random amounts of pyrite and pyrrhotite, and

    the weak positive correlation of copper to gold suggest that

    gold was probably not transported in gold-thio complexes

    (Seward 1973, 1984) but may have a more direct magmatic

    association. This magmatic association draws on the observed

    chalcopyrite at two locations in the Dryberry batholith

    northwest of Goldhill/Golden Gate and the occurrence of strong

    chalcopyrite near the batholith on the Goldhill property.

    The lack of wallrock alteration raises the possibility

    that if the gold is related to hydrothermal event the Goldhill/

    Golden Gate property occurs on an exposed extremity of the

    system. At the Wendigo mine, Brownell (1943) noted that

    chalcopyrite and pyrite were associated with gold in the upper

    levels of the mine but below the 335 m level, gold dropped off

    dramatically and pyrrhotite was the dominant sulphide mineral.

    Structural

    The quartz veins which carry gold mineralization occur

    exclusively in shear zones. Therefore shearing is a

    prerequisite to quartz veining. The structural style present

    on the Goldhill and Golden Gate properties is viewed as

    individual structural horizons along which shearing varies from

    hairline to metre or more-wide zones. The periodicity of this

    variation is uncertain. Figure 11 is a sketch of these

    structural horizons, showing their variation along strike.

    These horizons possibly reach lengths of several hundred metres

    (e.g. Pebble Vein structure?, Figure 3). The proportion of

    significant shear zone development is not known. Quartz veins

    are emplaced into the central portions of the significant shear

    zones, pinching and swelling along strike. This relationship

    is best seen in the 10 m long Slamdance Vein and the 37 m long

    Combination Vein (Appendix A), but was observed in all veins.

    The subvertical shear sense observed in the zones and

    occasional rod-like inclusions suggest the veins have greater

    vertical than horizontal dimensions.

    Gold mineralization is not confined to a particular

    structural orientation, as was the case with the Wendigo mine.

    The individual shear zones change orientation along strike and

    the dip is expected to vary also. Quartz veins and gold

    mineralization do not necessarily occur at these flexures. Ore

    localization can occur at the junction of two shear zones, but

    none of these types of settings has yet been exposed on the

    property. The Blackjack shaft, however, may occur at the

    junction of the Goldhill structural horizon and the Blackjack

    shear zone.

    EXPLORATION RESULTS

    Geochemistry

    Lithogeochemistry analyses provided two important results.

    The first is that gold occurs within quartz veins in high

    concentrations, sporadically distributed. This is confirmed by

    inspecting the analyses for all the exposed veins, in Appendix

    A. The second result is that gold is its own pathfinder

    element, as no other elements (except maybe copper) are

    arbitrary value of 100 ppb has been chosen to indicate what may

    be considered anomalous.

    Humus samples, collected in 1983 by Bonzano Exploration

    were submitted for analysis by Kidd Creek Mines. Two test

    lines were used which pass over the workings, at Goldhill

    (Figure 12). The results show erratic but generally higher,

    gold values over the known gold-bearing zones (contamination

    effects are considered to be minimal). This suggests that on a

    property scale program, designed to explore for other

    potential zones, gold in humus samples may yet prove to be

    useful.

    Geophysics

    A full report on the 1985 geophysical surveys at Goldhill/

    Golden Gate is being prepared by Michael Zang. VLF,

    Magnetometer and Dipole-Dipole I. P. geophysical surveys were

    employed on these properties. The VLF surveys gave no response

    to the known gold-bearing structures. The magnetometer surveys

    produced very erratic results which, at this time, do not

    appear to be significant with respect to locating the target

    veins. The I.P. surveys have given the most encouragement so

    far. The surveys were conducted over the Blackjack-Slamdance

    area, the Goldhill structures and the Golden Gate structures.

    Several subtle anomalies are present, associated with or along

    strike extensions of known gold-bearing veins. The true

    significance of these anomalies will be determined during the

    proposed diamond drill program and will be reported at that

    time .
