NTS Grid: 52F10NW
Point Location Description: The Prospect is on the eastern 40 acres of the north quarter of Lot 7.
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: The prospect can be easily reached by road off Hwy 502, the Wabigoon Lake Road, and then the road south to the old Bonanza and Redeemer mines. The prospect is in a clearing in the bush immediately east of the open field area. Mr Peterer apparently found the old shaft while cutting fire wood and clearing land.
Property visited by C.E. Blackburn on May 30, 1995. There is no record of the shaft or any of the work done, probably dating back to the time of the former mining activity.
Province: Superior
Geological Age: Precambrian
Nov 02, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The prospect is in the Upper Wabigoon volcanics, a predominantly mafic sequence, and lies north of the former productive gold belt passing through Flambeau, Bob, Guy and Twingrass lakes to Larson Bay of Wabigoon Lake (see Map 50e, Satterly, 1943). It also lies south of the Wabigoon Fault zone and the possible shear zone that parallels it through Western Arm of Wabigoon Lake. (Kenora Property File 52F/10NW - Kozy-Peterer Prospect)
Nov 02, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The strike of the porphyry and the quartz vein is similar to that of one set of veins and porphyry dikes in the area around Flambeau Lake. In that area they are tension-fracture hosted, whereas another set with an easterly trend is interpreted to be shear-zone hosted. Jack Parker has suggested (Parker and Blackburn 1986; Blackburn et al 1986; Parker 1989) that both sets are associated with dextral movement on the Wabigoon fault. The most significant gold concentration has been identified in the easterly trending shears. The shaft, which Mr kozy has estimated to be about 18' deep, was sunk on a 15" quartz vein. The vein strikes 140 degrees, and carries sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena. It is hosted in a porphyry dike with the same strike, that cross cuts mafic volcanics sheared at 80 degrees. Mr Kozy has cleaned out the shaft, stripped the area east of it, and removed deep overburden with a backhoe east of that again. Bedrock shelves steeply, and overburden deepens to the east, such that he had not got down to bedrock. (Kenora Property File 52F/10NW - Kozy-Peterer Prospect)
Nov 02, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - Mr Kozy has sampled the vein in the shaft and along strike, and also the porphyry dike. During the visit Mr Kozy reported that highest assay in the shaft was 0.15 opt Au. A sample in the porphyry ran 2585 ppb Au (about 1.2 opt), and another sample in the altered volcanic ran 192 ppb. Subsequent to the visit Mr Kozy provided, other assay data which is appended, and records higher values: the location of these is not known to the author.
