Jul 05, 2011 (A Wilson) - Magnetite and titanium dioxide mineralization at Titan is hosted by gabbro to leucotroctolite in the northeastern end of the Fall Lake complex. The southwestern portion of the Fall Lake intrusion, southwest of the Titan property, is made up of a variety of lithologies, but gabbro predominates. The northeastern portion of the intrusion is made up of leucocratic olivine gabbro to leucotroctolite. The leucocratic olivine gabbro to leucotroctolite appears to be fresh in thin section with little evidence of metamorphism. Contacts of the intrusion with mafic gneiss and granite gneiss, thought to be older than the Fall Lake complex, are poorly exposed. The gabbro to leucotroctolite is almost black, coarse grained, and composed of a dark-colored feldspar, pyroxene, and lesser amounts of magnetite. The granite gneiss country rock is medium grained and pink with quartz, pink feldspar, and accessory biotite. While the host rocks of the Fall Lake Intrusion are apparently of the same composition as the country rock, the mineralized units are altered and finer grained. The Titan deposit is located at the northern end of an aeromagnetic anomaly that is 1,200 by 800 m in area. To date drilling has tested only about the northernmost 300 m of the anomaly. The deposit plunges to the southeast at over 60º and is open towards Cribbage Lake.

Jul 05, 2011 (A Wilson) - A sample of the best material collected by M. Hurst in 1931 returned 43.62% Fe, 13.2% Ti and 0.18% V. Magnetite, ilmenite, titanium dioxide, and vanadium mineralization at Titan occurs in a southeast-plunging body in gabbro to leucotroctolite in the northeastern corner of the Fall Lake complex. Titaniferous magnetite is intermingled with altered gabbro as a hydrothermal replacement and is also present as streaks, patches, veinlets, and lenses of solid magnetite ranging from less than an inch to a maximum of 100 ft in width. A grab sample collected by Easton in 2001 (01-RME-0125) returned 266 ppm Co, 39.8% Fe, 56.91% Fe2O3, 22.72% TiO2, 337 ppm Ni, 2680 ppm V.
