Province: Superior
Geological Age: Precambrian
Nov 23, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The property is located in the Wabigoon Volcanic Belt of the Superior Structural Province. A broad band of north-south trending basic volcanics occupies the southwest part of the area and joins a north-east trend:ng belt of felsic to intermediate volcanics, principally rhyolite and dacite tuff, agglomerate and flows as well as quartz and feldspar porphyries. This belt which measures approximately 1.6km in width at its widest point, extends for 8km from west of Fornieri Bay eastward to the east end of Eagle Lake (open end of Buchan Bay). The southern and western part of the belt is intruded by granitoid rocks of the Atikwa Batholith (Eagle Lake and Dore Lake Lobes) and a stock centered in Froghead Bay. (Kenora AF 52F/11NE, FF-2 - Geo Report, pg. 2)
Nov 23, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - 'Several old pits found over a distance of 300m (6400E, 9100N) near the west boundary of the property expose a rhyolite quartz eye breccia zone that contains 1-3% disseminated pyrite. The zone appears to parallel foliation (070º az) and have a minimum width of 5.0m. Sampling by the author and D. MacVeighof the zone has yielded anomalous Au values to 2060 ppb.'
