Point Location Description: SHAFT, TRENCHES & PITS
Location Method: Conversion from MDI
Access Description: A point 0.18 km east of the northwest corner of Guibord Twp.
1912: J.L. Charles staked claim no. 2425 (the northwest quarter of the north half of lot 9, con VI). 1913: The claim was transferred to and patented by A.W. Barlow and H.E. Dyer. circa 1913: Mssrs. Barlow and Dyer excavated pits, trenches, and a 5 by 6 foot 'shaft'. 1946: H.E. Dyer prospected. 1950: Broulan Porcupine Mines Ltd. diamond drilled 1 hole totalling 614 feet.
Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Geological mapping (Prest 1953; Johnstone and Trowell 1985; Jensen and Baker 1986; Gupta and Johnstone 1987; Johnstone and Steele 1989; Troop 1989; Vagners 1984; McClenaghan et al. 1988, 1987; Steele 1988) indicates that sparsely exposed bedrock in the area consists mainly of weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) turbiditic sediments of the (Archean) Porcupine Group. The sediments strike southeast, dip steeply, face north, and occupy part of the south limb of the McCool Hill Syncline. The occurrence is near the contact between turbiditic Porcupine Group sediments and an overlying sequence dominated by mafic to ultramafic volcanic and intrusive rocks of the (Archean) Stoughton-Roquemaure Group.

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Prest (1953) reported that numerous quartz veins were exposed in trenches and pits when he examined the area circa 1950. Host rocks are reported by him to include locally sheared and carbonatized sediment (some of which is jasper clast bearing), green mica bearing carbonate, and granitic dike material. Some veins are reported by Prest to be spatially associated with the margins of a (Proterozoic) Matachewan diabase dike (Heaman 1989) which intrudes the sediments.

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Prest (1953) reported that numerous quartz veins were exposed in trenches and pits when he examined the area circa 1950. Host rocks are reported by him to include locally sheared and carbonatized sediment (some of which is jasper clast bearing), green mica bearing carbonate, and granitic dike material. Some veins are reported by Prest to be spatially associated with the margins of a (Proterozoic) Matachewan diabase dike (Heaman 1989) which intrudes the sediments. Other veins are reported to be hosted by a 10-12 foot wide carbonate zone in the sediments near the (Archean) Porcupine Group/Stoughton- Roquemaure Group contact. Quartz veinlets, veins, and quartz vein breccias of unspecified geometry ranging in size from a few inches to a few feet in width are also reported by Satterly to occur on the claim. Pyrite, galena, arsenopyrite, and possibly sphalerite are reported to occur both within and marginal to the quartz veins. Anomalously auriferous samples from the claim are reported by Prest to assay as much as 0.23 ounce of gold per ton, with anomalously elevated gold tenors apparently associated with sulfide minerals.
