Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Diamond drilling in an area of extensively developed glacial drift cover (Baker et al. 1982; McClenaghan et al. 1988, 1987; Steele 1988) has intersected in mainly weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) tholeiitic basalt of the (Archean) Kinojevis Group (Satterly 1949, Jensen 1982, Jensen and Langford 1985, Jensen and Baker 1986, Johnstone and Steele 1989; Troop 1989) a chlorite-quartz-carbonate breccia containing 5-10% of fine to coarse grained pyrite as replacements in breccia fragments. The best gold assay reported (assessment files, Resident Geologist's Office, Kirkland Lake) is from a 3 foot core length which averaged 0.13 ounce of gold per ton.
