Point Location Description: overburden occurrence

Location Method: Data Compilation

Access Description: A point 4.68 km north and 2.05 km west of the southeast corner of Hislop Township. The auriferous V2 Zone occurrence is in the central part of the northeast quarter of the north half of lot 3, concession III, Hislop Township, about 2.9 km northwest of the village of Holtyre. Access to within several hundred metres of the (overburden covered) occurrence area may be made via all weather north trending Hislop Road 2, located on the common boundary of lots 3 and 4, or an east trending road located on the common.

Geology Comments

Apr 08, 2016 (C Salo) - Geological mapping indicates bedrock in the deposit area is almost entirely glacial drift covered. Bedrock geology and structure in the area are complex and not well understood. Bedrock is interp. to consist mainly of weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies except marginal to large felsic intrusive bodies, where amphibolite grade contact metamorphic aureoles may be developed) subaqueously deposited ultramafic to felsic volc., pyroclastic, and chemical and clastic interflow sedimentary rocks. In places these supracrustal rocks have been intruded by albite syenitic bodies of unspecified size and geometry, aplite dikes, and narrow (gener. no more than tens of metres in width) diabase dikes of the Matachewan swarm which usually strike north. Bedrock stratigraphy is rpted to strike SE, to dip steeply SW, and to face southwest, but Prest has postulated the presence in the area of isoclinal folding, suggesting that semiregional scale descript. of the deposit area's basement structure should be regarded with caution. Bedrock hosting the Creek Zone deposit is interp. by Johnstone and Trowell to be about 2.4 km SW of a relatively narrow Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone (PDFZ) while Jensen .the PDFZ to be much wider and closer to the deposit loc. than this. Bedrock hosting the deposit appears to be either: a) within a distinc. felsic marker horizon loc. near the top of the (Archean) Stoughton-Roquemaure Group which occurs south of the PDFZ and occupies part of the north limb of the east striking and east plunging Blake River Synclinorium; or b) within a lithologically and structurally complex bedrock assemblage which is spatially assoc. with the PDFZ and which is termed by Jensen and Langford the Porcupine-Destor Complex.

Mineralization Comments

Apr 08, 2016 (A Wilson) - The highest assays returned from the drilling completed by Chevron were:0.406 oz/t Au over 1 m (DDH P-1); 3.07 oz/t Au over 0.8m (DDH P-21) and 0.955 oz/t Au over 1.0 m in DDH G-25.

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - The V2 Zone occurrence is about 640 m northeast of the Gunnex deposit. It is reported to be: a) geologically similar to the Creek Zone deposit (described elsewhere in this compendium); b) to be spatially associated with the south southeast striking Gibson Fault about 1.86 km south southeast of the Hislop West Mine (also spatially associated with the Gibson Fault and described elsewhere in this compendium); and c) comprised at least in part of anomalously elevated gold tenors associated with visible (coarse grained native) gold (Stroud Resources Ltd. Annual Report 1988 dated May 18, 1989; Stroud Resources Ltd. news release dated June 4, 1989).
