Mineralization Comments

Jun 21, 2007 (Mark Puumala) - Bazinet (1995) reported assays of up to 0.04 oz/ton Au in samples collected from a series of trenches excavated at this location over a strike-length of approximately 200 m along an approximately east-west-striking magnetic anomaly (Anomaly T). The material exposed during this trenching was reported by Bazinet (1995) to consist of sheared rock consisting of bands of chert and amphibole (iron formation?). This rock was generally reported to be highly-weathered, with abundant limonite staining. In trenches where sulphide mineralization was observed, Bazinet (1995) indicates the presence of disseminated to massive arsenopyrite. Diamond drilling at this location by Iron Lake Minerals (ddh 00-15) is reported by Bazinet (2000) to have intersected a series of amphibolitized tuffs and possible exhalative sediments (chert) intruded by a feldspar porphyry dike. Anomalous gold assays (up to 0.498 g/ton Au over 1.14 m) were reported from sections that encountered mineralization consisting of disseminated pyrrhotite with minor arsenopyrite. Lower gold assays were reported to have been obtained from sections that were only mineralized with pyrrhotite. This occurrence is located approximately 3 km east-southeast of the Anomaly A prospect, and may represent an extension of the same mineralized horizon.
