Resident Geologist District: Timmins
NTS Grid: 42A04NW
Point Location Description: Southern end of the stripped area.
Location Method: Field Visit with GPS
Access Description: Access is relatively easy as secondary logging roads branching off the Kenogaming Main Haul Road pass the stripped area. However, a beaver pond covers the secondary road about half way down and an old culvert under the road bed in the beaver pond has been damaged.

Dec 07, 2005 (S Fumerton) - Mineralization is hosted in a massive medium to coarse grained flow though there are reports of quartz stockworks in strongly carbonatized material in drill core. This quartz carbonate material may represent altered ultramafics.

Mar 15, 2016 (S Fumerton) - Parallel and undulating quartz veins spaced 2 to 3m apart cut the outcrop. These veins are between 2 and 25cm thick with well-preserved intrusive horns and are enclosed in a strongly altered iron carbonate zone. Locally several small veins, 1 to 3cm in size, are closely spaced, 10 to 30cm apart, and contained within a single alteration zone. Individual quartz veins are discontinuous within and alteration zone but do form closely spaced en echelon sets. Individual vein are up to 10m long and individual alteration zones are between 10 and 100m long. The veins are composed of coarse grained quartz with a translucent to milky appearance. Other minerals include calcite and erratic, fine grained, tourmaline concentrations which may be acicular. Pyrite is the most common sulphide but even so is sparsely disseminated in subhedral grains up to 3mm in size. Chalcopyrite and trace amounts of galena occur in some of the old trenches. The chalcopyrite is locally mantled by pyrite. The large quartz veins reported in some of the earlier work were not found though most of the reported trenches where found.
Mar 15, 2016 (A Wilson) - Grab samples collected by A. N. Wright returned values of 0.02 oz/t Au, 0.26 oz/t Ag, 0.03% Cu and 0.27% Pb from a quartz vein and 0.04 oz/t Au, 0.68 oz/t Ag, 0.05% Cu and 0.68% Pb from carbonated host rock. In 1987, Glen Auden obtained assays of 15 g/t and 3.7 g/t from the old trenches. The best grab samples obtained from the stripped area returned values of 0.37 g/t Au and 0.48 g/t Au. A sample from the muck pile from the trenches returned 4.7 g/t Au.
