Low Water Creek
Dublin
(Copper Lead Zinc)
The Low Water Creek Cu-Pb-Zn Occurrence is described as hosted in an outlier or extension of the thin greenstone belts occurring in Onaping, Shelley and Marshay townships. Outside the greenstones, the dominant rock type is gneissic granit. The occurrance is an approx. 75m road cut outcrop; gneissic granite, amphibolitized-chloritized mafic volcanic volcanic rocks, and sericitized felsic volcanic rocks. Mineralization was localized and highly disseminated. Samples were taken for analysis.
Conquest Resources Ltd.
Golden Rose Gold Mine
Afton
(Gold)
Sudbury District Geology staff visited Conquest Resources Ltd's Golden Rose Project with the company geologist. The historical mine site and core farm were visited. The Golden Rose mineralization is characterized as being hosted in a complex vein system within the banded iron formation occurring between two volcanic formations. Outcrops of the iron formation and the volcanic rocks were visited, including one exhibiting discontinuous masses of quartz-carbonate and coarse-pyrite mineralization.
Glencore Canada
Norman West Project
Norman
(Nickel, Copper, Cobalt)
Sudbury District Geology staff visited Glencore's Sudbury Integrated Nickel Operations' Norman West Project drill site with company geologist. The drill program is targeting Sudbury Igneous Complex contact and footwall, Ni-Cu-Co, mineralization. Glencore provided an overview of the Norman Project in context with their ongoing mine and surface exploration programs.
