Comments

Byers Township
Byers
()

Coad Hill
Loveland
()
Coad Hill consists of mafic metavolcanic rocks, and is the highest topography in the area. The area is suspected to have a fair potential for VMS like the Kamiskotia area.

Côté Township
Côté
()
A piece of possibly silicified rhyolite was discovered at that location, and a visit was orchestrated to find its source. There is a possibility that the source would be within a 3 km radius from the site of collection.

Turnbull Township
Turnbull, Massey

Alain Vallée
Blue Goose Lake
Blount
()
The claim owner exposed an outcrop of pegmatitic granite, within a sequence of melanosome and leucosome. Small blue-green crystals (1 to 8 mm in size) of fluoroapatite were observed.
Gowest Gold Ltd
Bradshaw Deposit
Tully
(Gold)
The project is underlain by tholeiitic basalt flows and komatiitic basalt to komatiitic flows of the Kidd-Munro assemblage. The northern half of the project area is dominated by the basalts and the komatiitic flows the southern half. Spectacular yet thin (<10m) units of graphitic argilites showing pyrite balls (golf ball size) are found in the close vicinity of the contacts of the komatiitic flows in the north tholeiitic volcanic sequence. Gold is associated with two trends of quartz veins (110°N, 45-85° south dipping and 80°N, sub vertical to 70° south dipping), accompanied by arsenopyrite.
Marc Brazeau
Quartz Lake
Fripp
(Copper)
The property sits on the south shore of the east arm of Quartz Lake. Pits were found within 5 m from the shore where a quartz vein accompanied with chalcopyrite is observed.
