Point Location Description: Outcrop between Meadow Lake and W end of Flynn Lake
Location Method: Based on Assessment
Access Description: Access to Meadow Lake is via Pine St. south from Timmins.
1923-30 Ridgegold Mines Lts. and Ridgegold Porcupine Mines Ltd. conduct stripping, and trenching. A 125ft. shaft was sunk on a neighboring claim to the W in Odgen Tp. Later sampling for Hollinger failed to confirm gold values reported by Ridgegold. 1979 - 1983 Joseph St. Gelais and Lilianne Letourneau carried out stripping, trenching and diamond drilling. No significant assays or mineralization was reported. 1985. Lilianne Letourneau performs further stripping and sampling. Two grab samples obtaine from ironformation hosted quartz veins each produced anomalous gold assays of 0.032 oz. per ton. 1986 - L.B.L. Richgold Mines Ltd. completed 3 diamond drill holes and a geological survey of the Meadow Lake Property 1991 - Further stripping by L.B.L. Richgold 2000 - More Stripping 2001 Prospecting by L.B.L. Richgold Mines Limited on the Meadow Lake Property produced assays of 1337 and 636 ppb Au.

Dec 07, 2005 (G Seim) - The Meadow Lake property is underlain by massive to tuffaceous mafic to intermediate mafic metavolcanic rocks of the Deloro Group. Two banded iron formation (BIF) horizons are interbedded with the volcanic rock. They strike east and dip steeply north. The BIF is both oxide and sulphide facies. Sulphides (pyrite and pyrrhotite) occur with the both magnetite layers and chert layers. At least a dozen large quartz veins occur on the Meadow lake property. Typically the veins are described as milky white with sericitized, silicified and/or chloritized wallrock xenoliths. The veins usually contain less than 1% Py. Quartz veins cutting the BIF are weakly anomalous in gold.
