Geological Age: Archean
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Apr 20, 2016 (C Salo) - The area (lot 11, concession 6, Playfair Township, and immediately south of the Canadian Arrow Mine, in Hislop Township) is underlain mainly by sparsely exposed weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks of the (Archean) Kinojevis Group. Both flow and pyroclastic rocks are represented. The volcanic rocks are intruded by plugs of syenite, diorite, and quartz porphyry and north striking diabase dikes of the (Proterozoic) Matachewan swarm.

Apr 20, 2016 (A Wilson) - The highest assays returned from the 1975 drilling were 0.01 oz./t Au over 4.3 ft in a quartz vein. Other assays returned values ranging from 0.005 oz. Au over2.2 ft to 0.005 oz./t Au over 6 ft. Silver values were nil and the best zinc value was 0.01% over 2.3 ft. Assays from the Murgor sampling returned values ranging from <0.03 g/t Au to 0.98 g/t Au over 1 m.
