Access Description: A point 1.65 km south and 4.84 km east of the northwest corner of Holloway Township.
1944-1946: 36 contiguous claims in north central Holloway Township were staked in 1944 by J.S. Crosscombe. By 1946, these claims had been acquired by Lobanor Gold Mines Ltd. 1949: By this time, the Lobanor Gold Mines holdings in Holloway Township had increased to 42 contiguous claims; DD-5-5129 ft. 1960-1961: Revere Mining Corp. Ltd. completed electrical resistivity and magnetic surveys and DD-12-5966 ft. 1981-1982: Johns-Manville Canada Inc.- surface prospecting, stripping, blasting, and magnetic and VLEM electromagnetic surveys. H.E. Neal (of Toronto) acquired ground immediately south of the Johns-Manville Canada property. H.E. Neal completed VLF electromagnetic, magnetic, and geological surveys of his claims. Revere Mining Corp. hole nos. 9 and 11 are collared near the common boundary between the Johns-Manville Canada claims and the Neal claims. 1980-82: Canadian Nickel Co. Ltd. completed airborne geophysical surveys of much of Harker and Holloway Townships. 1982: H.E. Neal and Associates - EM and magnetometer surveys. 1983-1984: Canamax Resources Inc.:DD-11-1926.75 m. 1985: Dickenson Mines Ltd. and New Cinch Uranium Ltd.: DD-2-308.7 m..1992: Noranda Exploration Company Ltd. - DD-15. 1997: Battle Mountain Canada Ltd. - DD-12-10,137.6 m, assays.

Province: Superior
Subprovince: Abitibi
Terrane: Wawa-Abitibi
Belt: Abitibi
Geological Age: Archean
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Aug 02, 2016 (C Salo) - Geological mapping indicates that bedrock in the area 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 (1985) 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 area suggest 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 known auriferous material, ground surveys completed as part of various exploration programs have delineated numerous anomalous bedrock conductors in the area; drilling has established that some of these are due to the presence of graphitic (meta)sediments and schists and that they may contain anomalously elevated gold tenors.
