Province: Superior
Subprovince: Abitibi
Terrane: Wawa-Abitibi
Belt: Abitibi
Tectonic Assemblage: Timiskaming
Geological Age: Archean
Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - The Timiskaming assemblage forms a major syncline and is composed of sedimentary and alkalic volcanic sequences of rock that trend easterly across the Abitibi greenstone belt. The assemblage dips gently to the south except in proximity to the Lake Fault where the sequences dip steeply to the north. The Larder Lake Fault dips steeply to the south. Deposit is hosted in a southeast-striking south dipping band of mafic alkalic rocks. The band is underlain by conglomerates and other clastic rocks of the Timiskaming assemblage.

Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - The deposit is hosted in altered trachytic alkalic metavolcanic rocks above the contact with metasedimentry rocks. The mineralized zone is brecciated, of irregular thickness and highly altered.

Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - Minerlaized zone contains disseminated 3-5% fine grained disseminated pyrite.
Mar 23, 2015 (J Suma-Momoh) - 20/03/2014: During summer of 2014, J. Suma-Momoh collected a grab sample from the outcrop along HWY 66 East, on the north side of the road. The sample returned assay of 2.11 g/t Au. Highlights of DDH #21 (January 20 – 28, 1951) included 0.17 ounce/ton Au over 2.5 feet; 0.14 ounce/ton Au over 1.1 feet; and 0.13 ounce/ton Au over 2 feet in red-grey, partly brecciated trachyte. Highlights of diamond drilling in 2009 included 3.56 g/t Au over 10.8 m (DDH COM09_04); 3.07 g/t Au over 7.3 m (DDH COM09_09), and 1.06 g/t Au over 51 m, including 1.45 g/t over 31.0 m (DDH COM10_45).
Dec 07, 2005 (D Guidon) - The outcrop consists of massive brown pyrite-bearing trachyte intruded by a mafic syenite dike. The trachyte is fragmental and strongly altered with carbonate minerals. It has been suggested that some of the red colour may be due to finely disseminated hematite but this is not apparent in thin section sample examinations. Chemically, the rock is no longer a trachyte due to its low Na;0 + K;0 content. Grab samples of the outcrop assay to 0.237 ounce per ton gold, and the average of 13 samples (probably including some of the syenite), from this outcrop and corresponding exposure across the highway, is 0.04 ounce per ton gold. Based on sampling results from this outcrop and intersections from diamond drilling conducted by the Mining Corporation, the zone appears to have an easterly strike.

Geologist: D Guidon
Notes: Outcrops on Hwy 66 visited and sampled July and August 2, 1996. Sample 96313 collected on south side of Hwy - red, fine grained, almost jasper appearance. Sample 96317 collected on outcrop on Hwy about 800 feet northwest of outcrop from 96313. Most of the drilling by Sudbury Contact between these outcrops with collars south of the highway.
