NTS Grid: 42B01NW
Point Location Description: Centre of clearing with remains of drill steel along west edge.
Location Method: Field Visit with GPS
Access Description: Take gravel pit access road just off of Highway 101 about 500m northwest of the Secondary gravel road 616 ( a.k.a. Horwood Lake road). Follow this road to large outcrop just north of small lake. Drill hole lies approximately 150 m due north from this position.
1986: Unigold Resources Ltd. optioned 99 unpatented claims in Muskego and Reeves Townships. Unigold completed ground geophysical surveys over parts of the claim block group and carried out a program of stripping, trenching and sampling over some of the geophysically defined targets. 1987: A 12 hole DDH program (111.9 m) was implemented to test geophysical targets outlined previously. Hole UM-2, the location of the showing intersects a highly altered, mineralized and mylonitized porphyry body. 1989: B. P. Resources Canada Ltd. - airborne geophysics, mapping, sampling.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Shearing. Deformation zone. Core description is varies from well foliated to highly sheared. Core angles are not given.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence lies within the Slate Rock Deformation Zone that is east-trending across the southern part of the township.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Unit described in drill core as a quartz feldspar porphyry: medium grained, sericitized, grey to grey green, highly sheared feldspars smeared, slightly calcareous, non magnetic, severely micro-fractured. Alteration consists of interbedded sericitic siliceous zones and sericitic ankerite zones.

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Predominant sulphide is pyrite up to 12% in sections with minor amounts of pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. Pyrite has been noted to occur as fine disseminates, crystals and blebs. Both pyrite and pyrrhotite have been reported as fine 1mm stringers. Arsenopyrite has been noted to occur as very fine disseminates as well as elongate crystals up to 1mm.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - An assay of 3.4 g/t Au was obtained from this occurrence. The best assay obtained from diamond drilling returned an assay of 0.1 oz/t Au over 1.8 m in sericitized quartz-feldspar porphyry.
