Geology Comments

Apr 26, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - This portion of Flint Lake is located northeast of the Pipestone-Cameron Fault and is comprised of the Rowan Lake Volcanics. Consisting predominantly of massive and pillowed basaltic flows, with coarser gabbroic portions.

Lithology

Lithology Comments

Apr 26, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - 2010 mapping by Metals Creek Resources describes the Flint Lake Area as mostly massive and homogenous mafic volcanics. “The mapping highlighted shear ones running east–west to NW-SE throughout the property. On surface, most of these shear zones appear discontinuous with local shears displaying kilometer-scale strike length.

Mineralization

Mineralization Comments

Apr 26, 2017 (C Ravnaas) - Sample DHJ-10-008 assayed 10.66g/t Au and is described as “thin 3cm qtz vein in carb/chl schist; 60% qtz; 35% carb; 5% chl; tr pyr in qtz; old trench @ L12E 0+50N”. Sample DHJ-10-010 assayed 29.683g/t Au and is described as “qtz vein in chl/sericite schist; 40% qtz (white); 55% chl (black); 5% ser; minor – 0.5% pyr; trace cpy” (Kenora AF 52F05SW, QQQQ-7, 2.50596, Metals Creek Resources, Appendix I). Samples were taken from quartz-rich material along the edges of the historical trench.

Sep 19, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - Burwash (1934) reported a test pit 35 chains northwest of the Flint Lake prospect. The pit is in chlorite-sericite schist, which is injected with glassy quartz in lenses, sometimes a foot in thickness, carrying pyrite grains. Cracks in the quartz contain veinlets of magnetite and pyrite with a little chalcopyrite. A certain amount of carbonate is also present in the schist. It occurs in layers up to an eighth of an inch in thickness interleaved in the schist, but was not noted in the quartz. A sample from this pit yielded $4.40 in gold (0.14 opt Au, 4.35 gpt Au).
