Rose Showing
McGarry
(Zinc, Copper)
The Rose Showing is located on the Clay Property. The Showing consists mainly of dalmatianite, and andesite and gabbro to a lesser extent. There are semi-massive sulphides in places. Samples were collected from the Showing for lab analyses. Granodiorite and basalt are common on the rest of the property.
Jim Ralph
Bear Creek Property
McNie
(REE)
By client request, staff of trhe Sault Ste. Marie office examined a new showing on the Bear Creek property. The showing is a coarse crystalline quartz vein of about 4.8 meters wide and at least 30 meters in strike length; and is in contact with granite. It contains trace sulphides, mica and other fibrous minerals. Samples were collected for assay.
RGP (ENDM)
Abtibi North Deformation Zone
Hoblitzell
(Gold)
As part of a reconnaissance to research outcrop exposures within the Abitibi north deformation zone, an extensive of E-W striking, sheared silicate and Fe-oxide facies BIF was encountered and sampled.
RGP (ENDM)
Mark Lake
Briggs
(Copper, Gold, Silver)
The showing couldn't be located in the field. A second trip will be planned after further investigation.
RGP (ENDM)
Nipissing Hill
Coleman
(Silver, Cobalt)
Examined Ag/Co vein mineralization with the Paleoproterozoic sediments (Cobalt member conglomerates), as they relate to the roximal unconformity with underlying archean rocks. Also inspected the archean interflow sediments at the southern base of Nipissing Hill and the Nipissing diabse further to the northeast.
RGP (ENDM)
Sturdy Prospect
Briggs
