Property Visits
Company Property Township or Area Commodity Comments
Advance United Buck Lake Property Lunkie Copper, Silver, Zinc A field visit was made to the Buck Lake Property owned by Advance United Holdings to visit VMS-related copper mineralization hosted in mafic to intermediate and felsic volcaniclastic rocks. Banded sulphide- and silica-facies iron formations were found to occur conformably within the tuffaceous sequence.
RGP-OGS Kristina Copper Gaudette Copper A field visit was made at an existing Kristina Copper OMI location at Gaudette township. A traverse was undertaken from Kristina Copper mine to the southeast following the trendof the mineralized quartz vein that was mined before. The vein disappears underground after Shaft 1, although traces of quartz vein with sporadic sulphide mineralization was encountered for about 1 km SE.
RGP-OGS Kona Dolomite Fenwick A field trip was done in conjunction with geoscientists from GSC, Ottawa and University of Toronto to visit Kona Dolomite in Fenwich Township.
RGP-OGS Kristina Occurrence Gaudette Copper A field visit was made at an existing Kristina Copper OMI location at Gaudette township. Quartz veins with alteration were observed intruding granitoids. Also intrusive mafic-ultramafic bodies with variable sulphide content were identified and sampled in the field.
RGP-OGS Field School Jollineau A field school was organized for Algoma University students to show Proterozoic Huronian Supergroup successions along highway 556.
RGP-OGS Mamainse Point Field Trip Ryan Copper, Molybdenum, Silver A field trip to the Mamainse Point and Coppercorp area was made to identify potential field stops and logistics for a proposed field visit for the members of Sault Ste Marie Prospector's Association.
RGP-OGS Field Visit Kars A field visit was made to Kars township and Haviland Bay area upon receiving a request from GSC, Ottawa to search for Keweenawan outcrops, especially sandstones along the shores of Lake Superior to the north / west of Sault Ste Marie.
RGP-OGS Mamainse Point Field Trip Ryan Copper, Molybdenum, Silver A field trip to the Mamainse Point and Coppercorp area was provided to the members of Sault Ste Marie Prospector's Association. The purpose of the field trip was to examine Mid-Continent Rift-related volcanic and sedimentary rocks along the eastern shore of Lake Superior and copper mineralization at the former Coppercorp mine site.
RGP-OGS Field Activity Jollineau Copper A field trip was undertaken to identify potential field stops and other logistics required to organize a field school with Algoma University students.
RP-OGS Field Visit Long A visit was made to the former Pronto Mine upon a request from Mike Easton, OGS to verify access to the mine site and entry requirements.
