Province: Southern
Supergroup: Keweenawan Supergroup
Geological Age: Late Precambrian
Apr 14, 2011 (A Pace) - Geologically the property consists of a quartz-carbonate vein system hosted in the Keweenawan basalts of teh Mamainse Point Fomration. The host basalt is coarse grained and composed of altered pyroxenes and plagioclase.

Apr 14, 2011 (A Pace) - The vein system is composed of quartz and carbonate. The sulphides associated with the vein system are chalcocite, bornite, chalcopyrite, and malachite. The basalts are characterized by extensive hematite alteration. Assay results from past diamond drilling include: In 1970, drill hol1 1970-5, 2 feet @ 0.294% Cu In 1970, drill hole 1970-1, 1.3 feeet @ 0.64% Cu and 0.6 feet @ 0.21% Cu Samples collected by the staff of the Sault Ste. Marie Resident Geologist office assayed: 1 sample assayed 5.83oz/ton Ag 1 sample assayed 0.23oz/ton Au 4 samples assayed 0.08% Cu.

Notes: A property visit was completed by the staff of the Sault STe. Marie Resident Geologist Office in the summer of 2010. a quartz-carbonate vein system hosted in teh Keweenawan basalts of teh Mamainse Point Formation was observed. The basalts are characterized by extensive hematite alteration. The mineralizing vein of the Pall Mall occurrene follows teh same stratigraphic direction as many of the other major vein systems hosted within the Mamainse Point Formation basalts, including the past-producing Coppercorp deposit, Copper Creek and Silver Creek zones, striking 340 degreees with a 45 dip to the west. Samples collected by teh staff of the Sault Ste. Marie Resident Geologist office assayed: 1 sample assayed 5.83 oz/ton Ag 1 sample assayed 0.23 oz/ton Au 4 samples assayed 0.08% Cu.
