Aug 24, 2012 (P LeBaron) - The trenches follow a rusty-weathering zone trending 070 degrees within buff to pale grey dolomitic marble. The zone is at least 10m wide and contains narrow (20 to 30cm) zones of quartz veining that strike 070 degrees and dip about 80 degrees south, with intense hematitic alteration in the marble bordering the veins. The veins are generally 1 to 3 cm wide, contorted and boudinaged within the zones. Other than a trace of chalcopyrite in marble adjacent to a mafic dike in trench #3, no sulphides were observed in the quartz veins or wall rock.

Geologist: P LeBaron
Notes: In August 2011, the District Geologist accompanied M. Glanfield on an examination of a gold prospect on his mining claims in Barrie Township. Gold mineralization is associated with a zone of hematitic alteration and quartz veining in dolomitic marble, which is exposed in several old trenches and pits known as the Pay Rock gold occurrence.
