from assessment fuile KL-5385 File # KL-120 "Ansara" File contains various descriptions of showing and work conducted over 40 year (1919 -1959) period by then claim holder, Moses Ansara. 1935 report by Erie Canadian Mines (G.A. Harcourt) of the Sylvanite group describing visits to the claims and the showings including a narrow calcite vein carrying free gold, said to be abundant for 8' to 10' along strike with both ends of the vein continuing along strike under cover (to the north into Amikougami Lake, to the south under overburden). Another showing in the middle of the same claim (now claim L-1046517) was described as quartz-calcite veins hosted in a N25E trending fault zone in pillowed volcanics. The showing had been opened up over 350' of strike. Width from stringers observed to 10". Black carbonated schist and "rusty rhyolitic" rock carrying pyrrhotite were between veins. A showing located on new claim # 1046518 was said to consist of a banded quartzcalcite-aplite vein striking S45W across pillowed lavas. The vein was reported to be mineralized with chalcopyrite and pyrite. Two other showings are described on old claim # 23471 (near the Teck- Bernhardt Township boundary) as lenticular quartz-calcite veins striking N25E, from l" to 18" in width and mineralized with chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. A later report (1949) by the Resident Geologist, W. S. Savage, reports that a good value of S6.00 had been obtained from one of the showings (believed to be the Erie Canadian). 1959 drill logs report short (either x-ray or hand drill obtained samples). The drill hole depths are to 50', 61' and 106'. Most of the drill holes were aimed north, just south of Amikougami Lake. File #KL-2729 "Tundra Gold Mines Ltd" 1989 program of ground magnetic and VLF surveys (NAA and NSS), general prospecting, wajax stripping, and three diamond drill holes for a total footage of 1260'(or 3 84 metres). TA- 89-03 (-45, drilled at 090 0 Azimuth, EOH at 405') was set-up to test the north trending shears and quartz carbonate veins and veinlets located near the base line. It was thought that this might mark the position of the Amikougami Creek Fault (parallel to the Amikougami Lake fault). Mafic to intermediate flows, andesite porphyry, agglomerates, and tuffs were intersected in the drill hole. A possible fault was intersected at 400' (quartz vein at 400'- 402') to 405' (EOH). The drillhole was terminated in a semi-consolidated and brecciated flow. The highest gold assays obtained were .031 oz/t over 5' in sample 5215 and .018 oz/t over 3.4' in sample 5216 at 175' to 183.4'. 1992: G. Mullan completed mapping and sampling. 1993: Golden Valley Mines completed line cutting, magnetic and IP surveys and 5 diamond drill holes totalling 510 m.
