Point Location Description: Collar of 1976 Gulf Minerals Canada DDH Z-1
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: From Matachewan, Take Highway 561 W for 30 KM. Turn onto Forest Access Rd. and follow for 20 k to Moray Lake turnoff Take Moray Lake Road North to the occurrence area.
1976 Gulf Mineral LTD completed 8 diamond drill holes on 2 properties in SE Zavitz Tp. Occurrence grade nickel intercepts were cut in 4 widely spaced ddh all located to the S and W of Moray Lake. A MDI record exists for each drill hole. DDH Z-1 cut a sequence of felsic metavolcainics and graphitic argillites intruded by serpentinized ultramafic rock. From 111 to 112 ft down the hole (in ultramafic rock) assayed 0.19% Ni. and the interval 542 to 543 ft. assayed 0.24% Ni. Anomalous (sub occurrence grade) zinc assays returned from the graphitic argilite.
