Primary Commodities: Gold
Township or Area: Chester
Latitude: 47° 34' 31.73" Longitude: -81° 56' 29.66"
UTM Zone: 17 Easting: 429189 Northing: 5269548 UTM Datum: NAD83
Resident Geologist District: Timmins
NTS Grid: 41P12SW
Point Location Description: Drill hole collar.
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Easy access to the area is possible via the Chester Township access road that branches off the Sultan Main Haul road which connects the village of Sultan to Highway 144 near the watershed. Just 300 metres south of Bagsverd Cr, go east 700 metres approximately.
1934: Leslie Corbett sampled a number of widely spaced quartz veins in trenches and obtained up to 3 g/t Au (0.09opt) in channel samples from claim S. 24,803. The #4 post for this claim was supposedly located 400m east of a point where the township line intersected Schist Creek (Bagsverd Cr). Another vein was located with higher grade values in grab samples and a channel grading 1.7 g/t Au (0.05opt). This second vein was located in claim S. 24,936 which in turn was located just north of Bagsverd's lake South Arm with the #1 post on the shore of the main lake. 1984: Blue Falcon Mines carried out a regional airborne VLF-EM and magnetic survey which covered the area. 1985: Nu-Start Resources drilled three widely spaced holes on claims adjacent to the two original claims. These holes intersected a series of sericite schists described as both tuffaceous and sedimentary with minor gold values, up to 0.9 g/t (0.027opt) in small quartz carbonate veins. 1988: Seaway Base Metals Ltd held the ground and flew an airborne VLF electromagnetic and magnetic survey over the area. No ground follow-up has been reported from this survey. 1995: Duess, R. and Durham, B. – Assays, IP, Pr. 2007: Augen Gold Corp. – AEM, AMag, ARAD. 2008: Augen Gold Corp. – Assays, Pr. 2010: Trelawney Augen Acquisition Corp. – Assays, GC.

Oct 29, 2013 (P Bousquet) - The lithology of the area consists of dacitic to andesitic flows, tuffs and breccias. More locally, the rocks were submitted to strain shown with elongated fragments.

Oct 29, 2013 (P Bousquet) - The lithology consists of intermediate tuffs that show increasing deformation until being transected by a diabase dyke. The intermediate tuff seems to go on afterwards, losing strain indicators (derived from T-2998).
