Point Location Description: Pit
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: The Goodfish Lake Property is located approximately 5 kilometers due north of Kirkland Lake, Ontario in southeast quadrant of Bernhardt Township and southwest quadrant of Morrisette Township. The property is comprised of eight mining claims consisting of twenty-one units and includes the extreme northwest portion of Goodfish Lake. Access can be made by water across Goodfish Lake by taking a boat or canoe directly onto the property. To access the north half of the property take Goodfish Road out of Kirkland Lake towards the Kirkland Lake airport for 6.0 km to where it meets Harvey Drive leading off to the west. Follow Harvey Drive for 1.0 km to the west, continue past Bernhardt Drive, to where the road ends at the last residence near the east boundary of the property. Follow a path leading north over a rugged outcrop to where northwest trending grid lines have been established on the property. The northern part of the property is also accessible west from the Dorothy/Lawgrave Lakes access road at a point approximately 1 km north of the Kirkland Lake airport turnoff.
In 1984 Nova Beaucage Mines Limited held a group of claims which included the O'Connor Goodfish Lake property, and the Kirana Gold Mines property to the south in Teck Township. An exploration program included gridding, ground geophysical surveys that consisted of total field magnetic and VLF EM surveys. A number of grab samples were assayed for gold with the best value of 40 ppb Au taken from an old trench. In 1988, Minnova Inc. held the same property as Nova Beaucage Mines Ltd. Minnova completed only limited work on a small part of the O'Connor property that included some gridding and ground magnetic surveying. A 1995 surface exploration program by FT. O'Connor of overburden stripping and cleaning the exposed bedrock was conducted on the Goodfish Lake Property. The one area of significance is designated as stripped Area A on the O'Connor Goodfish Lake Property during the autumn of 1995. The 1996 surface exploration program consisted of the linecutting, IP, VLF-EM and sampling pits and trenches found during the program. Samples from Pit A include 1560 ppb Au in sample GFL96-02 and 1371 ppb Au in sample 9542.

May 09, 2008 (D Guidon) - from assessment file 42A01NE0314 Pit" A" a 3m x 3m shallow water filled pit exposes pyritic bearing basalt cut by a quartz-feldspar porphyry dike. The QFP, mafic volcanic contact is on a bearing 020 degrees and appears vertical. Both the mafic volcanic and QFP contain finely disseminated pyrite. The QFP displays a pinkish alteration, possibly a hematite dusting. Minor quartz and carbonate stringers occur locally. Seven samples numbered GFL 96 - 02, - 03, -04, and 9541, 9542, 9543, and 9544 were submitted for gold assaying and the assay results are 1560 ppb, 10 ppb, 50 ppb, 175 ppb, 1371 ppb, 195 ppb, and 7 ppb Au respectively. Two significant results were obtained from this pit and appear to be closely associated with the contact area of the QFP with the mafic volcanics.
