Belt: Abitibi
Geological Age: Archean
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Aug 02, 2016 (C Salo) - Geological mapping indicates that bedrock near the occurrence is largely glacial drift covered. Exposed bedrock in the area consists mainly of weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) east northeast striking, steeply south dipping, and south facing subaqueously deposited tholeiitic volcanic rocks (most commonly basalt). If the occurrence is south of the Porcupine- Destor Fault Zone (PDFZ) (as suggested by Satterly 1954), the host basalt belongs to the (Archean) Kinojevis Group. If the occurrence is instead within the east striking PDFZ , the basement host rocks belong to a structurally and lithologically heterogeneous supracrustal and intrusive rock basement assemblage which is termed by Jensen and Langford the Porcupine-Destor Complex. The notable paucity of exposed bedrock in the occurrence area and the results of exploration and government sponsored drilling in the the area suggest that the occurrence is within the PDFZ. Intrusive rocks known to occur in the area include felsic and lamprophyre dikes. Although a recent geophysical survey of Holloway Township (OGS 1984) failed to detect any significantly anomalous bedrock conductors which coincide with the location of the known anomalous gold tenors, ground surveys completed as part of various exploration programs have delineated numerous anomalous bedrock conductors in the area; drilling has established that many of these are due to the presence of graphitic (meta)sediments and schists and that some contain anomalously elevated gold tenors.

Aug 02, 2016 (C Salo) - Revere Mining Corp. diamond drill hole no. 8A yielded a 3 foot long core section containing quartz vein material which assayed 0.012 ounce of gold per ton and a 2.0 foot long core section of siliceous and pyritic felsic dike material which averaged 0.03 ounces of gold per ton. Additional diamond drilling near the Lobanor 1 occurrence by Canamax Resources on ground optioned from Johns-Manville Canada has intersected East Zone deposit type alteration and sulfide mineralization in several places within the PDFZ. Although no gold assay data accompany the Canamax Resources assessment drill logs, it is a certainty that additional anomalous gold tenors (those exceeding 0.01 ounce of gold per ton) accompany such mineralization in the Revere 1 occurrence area and along strike to the west within the PDFZ.
