Province: Superior
Subprovince: Abitibi
Terrane: Wawa-Abitibi
Belt: Abitibi
Geological Age: Mesoarchean
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Jun 26, 2015 (R Degagne) - Exposed bedrock in the area consists mainly of weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic grade) east northeast striking, steeply south dipping, and south facing subaqueously deposited volcanic and interflow sedimentary rocks of the (Archean) Kinojevis Group.

Jun 26, 2015 (A Wilson) - The quartz vein trends N.70E. and dips steeply towards the south.
Jun 26, 2015 (R Degagne) - Although most basement volcanic rock in the area is tholeiitic basalt, most known anomalously auriferous material at the Cryderman occurrence is spatially associated with a narrow (less than about 10 m in maximum known thickness) and volumetrically minor horizon of rhyolite. Intrusive rocks in the area include the peanut shaped 'Dale Intrusive' (a small felsic plug located about 3.6 km west northwest of the occurrence), a narrow (tens of metres in width) north striking diabase dike which may be part of the Matachewan swarm (located about 180 m east of the occurrence), and narrow (generally less than several metres in width) lamprophyre dikes.

Jun 26, 2015 (A Wilson) - Assays from a drilling program completed in 1937 by The Ontario Cryderman Gold Mines Limited returned gold values rangin from 0.02 oz/t over6 ft to 0.32 oz/t Au over 5 ft. Samples collected by J. Satterly from quartz veins on the property returned assays of 0.03 oz./t Au and 0.48 oz/t Ag and 0.03 oz/t Au and 0.79 oz/t Ag. Samples collected from the trenches by Cryderman Gold Mines in 1940, returned the following values : $6.14 Au over 5 ft and a grab sample of $20.50 from trench 5; grab samples from trench 6 returned values of $18.55 and $35.00, averaging $9.67 over 6 ft; channel samples from trench No. 14 returned assays up to $9.10 over 6 ft. with an average of $7.58 au over 14.5 ft. A character sample of ore from trench 8 returned $30.50. Assays from the 1985 drilling program completed by Newmont Exploration returned Cu values up to 116 ppm and Pb values up to 220 ppm over 2.4 ft and 1 ft.
Jun 26, 2015 (R Degagne) - Gledhill (1925) reported that prior to 1925, a 070º striking and steeply south dipping quartz vein system mineralized with pyrite, galena and chalcopyrite in which '...vein quartz is more prominent...than in some of the veins on other claims [in the area]...' (p.95) had been discovered and had been traced for about 1,300 feet on the Cryderman claims, but he provides no assay data indicating whether these vein systems are anomalously auriferous. White weathering fractured black cherty, carbonatized, and specularitic quartz phyric rhyolite from the occurrence which contains fine grained pyrite, however, was reported by Gledhill to assay as much as $21.60 per ton (about 1 ounce of gold per ton). It is on this pyritic rhyolite which most subsequent exploration on the occurrence has apparently been concentrated.
