Township or Area (Commodity) |
Comments |
|---|---|---|
Acres |
Acres () |
The area was visted to verify a radioactive anomaly in the area. No outcrop was seen on site, but a few boulders of an iron formation were observed. |
Carlson Mines |
Kipling (Clay) |
The location was visited to collect clay material which was near the surface. The purpose was to test the hypothesis that the clay material may hold rare earth elements adsorbed on its surface. Sources of rare earth elements are present upstream from the area (i.e. Clay-Howells and Cargill carbonatite complexes), and the kaolinitic clays are younger than these complexes. |
Fontaine's Landing |
Hanlan () |
Sample of white pegmatite was collected. |
Keefer Float |
Keefer (Nickel, Copper, Cobalt) |
The area was visited to locate the Keefer Float. A sample was collected from the boulder for analysis to follow up on historic cobalt, nickel, gold, and copper concentrations. |
Lac de Coppell |
Lowther () |
The property was visited to acquire more samples to consolidate data acquired last year. The property shows plenty of white pegmatite material, with some xenoliths of paragneiss. |
Lecours |
Pelletier () |
The outcrop sits on the site of the road. It shows deformed metagreywackes, with boudingaed quartz veins. Some of the boudinaged veins showed sulphides, giving an iron staining colour on the outcrop. |
Long Rapids West |
Kipling (Clay) |
The location was visited to collect clay material which was near the surface. The purpose was to test the hypothesis that the clay material may hold rare earth elements adsorbed on its surface. Sources of rare earth elements are present upstream from the area (i.e. Clay-Howells and Cargill carbonatite complexes), and the kaolinitic clays are younger than these complexes. |
Miller-Mulligan |
McCowan (Gold) |
The property showed some nicely deformed metagreywackes, with boudinaged quartz veins. A shear zone is present showing a ribboned quartz vein with some sulphides (arsenopyrite?). It is surprising to have a shear zone in that locality, knowing that no major structure (i.e. deformation zone like the Porcupine-Destor or the Larder Lake-Cadillac) was mapped in that area besides the Kapuskasing Structural Zone. |
Shetland-1 |
Shetland () |
Samples of white pegmatite were collected. |
Shetland-2 |
Shetland () |
Samples of white pegmatite were collected. |
Sydere |
Sydere () |
The location was targeted due to a radioactive anomaly. However, access was restricted due to the presence of a beaver dam and pond on the road. |
| Alain Lavallée Blount |
Blount () |
The property was visited with Alain Lavallée. The outcrops are adjacent to a bush road. They consists of white to pink pegmatitic dykes with some paragneiss xenolith. |
| Maurice Labelle Lackner Complex |
Lackner (Rare earth elements, niobium, uranium) |
The property was visited with Maurice Labelle. The rough terrain and the swampy lands prevented access to the main areas that were targeted. However, some carbonatite boulders were examined. A trail should be cut to favour access to this unique site. The presence of radioactive elements in the area is noticeable with a scintillometer. |
| Newaygo Forest Products Templeton |
Templeton () |
The property was visited to see some spectacular outcrop located at the boundary between Templeton and Landry townships. A washout regrettably prevented the access. |
| Northern Sun Mining Corp. Hart |
Eldorado (Nickel, Copper) |
The property was visited to locate and verify possible locations for the calibration of remote sensing devices that will be brought in by NASA. |
| Stéphane Deschamps, Northland Storage Fauquier |
Fauquier () |
The property was a former field that slopes gently to the north. A creek crosses it in the middle part. A diabase dike crosses the property from south to north, and a migmatitic quartz-plagioclase-biotite-amphibole was seen near the north boundary of the property. No economic mineralization or alteration was perceived. |
