Geology Comments

Apr 05, 2012 (D Guidon) - The Lucky Irish property is described by Berger (2006) and Cheriton (2008). The property is within the Abitibi subprovince of the Superior province. The host rocks are part of the Lower Tisdale Assemblage. Northeast-trending, north face mafic volcanic and metasedimentary rocks are located in the area of the prospect. These rocks are overlain by flat lying coarse clastic sedimentary rocks of the Gowganda Formation of the Huronian Supergroup. Zinc and lead mineralization associated with magnetite-chert iron formation. Cheriton (2008) interprets the deposit type to be sedex.
