Exploration History

1984-87: Glen Auden Resources and Adola Mining: DD, assays are reported. (The Northern Miner, August 11, 1986, January 5, 1987; The George Cross Newsletter, August 7, 1986; The Timmins Daily Press, August 20, 1986) to have diamond drilled on a 320 acre property in Taylor Township. This drilling is reported (The Northern Miner, January 5, 1987) to have intersected anomalous gold tenors (0.06 oz./t gold per ton from a 5 foot core section) within green carbonate.

Geology

Province: Superior

Subprovince: Abitibi

Terrane: Wawa-Abitibi

Belt: Abitibi

Tectonic Assemblage: Porcupine

Geological Age: Archean  

Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist

Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2015 (C Salo) - Geological mapping indicates bedrock in the area consists mainly of largely glacial drift covered weakly metamorphosed (greenschist or lower metamorphic facies) clastic sediments of the (Archean) Porcupine Group and volcanic rocks of the (Archean) Stoughton- Roquemaure Group. Rocks of both Groups strike east, dip steeply, and have developed along and/or have closely associated with their contact in central Taylor Township the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone (PDFZ). Intrusive rocks in the area include felsic bodies of complex geometry (as at the St. Andrew Goldfields Porphyry Zone Mine, located several hundred metres west of the Glen Auden Resources/Adola Mining property) which are often found within and/or are closely associated with the PDFZ, and narrow (tens of metres in width) north striking diabase dikes of the (Proterozoic) Matachewan swarm, which intrude both the PDFZ and the felsic rocks within and associated with it.

Lithology

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (C Salo) - Green carbonate has been interpreted to be carbonatized basalt.

Mineralization

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2015 (A Wilson) - Anomalous gold tenors at the occurrence is describe to consist of gold (assays up to 0.06 oz./t Au over 5 foot core lengths)
