Alternately, turn off of Highway 101 onto the Dore or Foleyet Lumber Road, 100km west of Timmins or 10km east of Foleyet. From the highway follow this road south 7km. An old logging road goes from the main road close to lake through the wind-rowed clear-cut.



Exploration History

1982 Geosearch Consultants Ltd. conducted an electromagnetic and magnetic survey over the claim group for Dome Exploration. 1983 Dome Exploration conducted a follow up drill program to test previously outlined geophysical targets in the area of the southern Muskego boundary and the northern portion of Keith Township. 1987 Aerodat Limited flew a combined helecopter airborne magnetic and VLF-EM survey for B.P. Resources over Muskego and Slate Rock Lakes area.

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (K Houle) - Anomalous gold values reported in a drill log at vertical depths of 298' and 317'. The first unit of interest is described as a rhyolite lapilli and crystal tuff (unit contains some feldspar porphyritic dacite): light green grey, fine grained matrix with fine to coarse grained subhedral clasts, hardness > 5, moderate to heavy chloritization. Disseminated sulphides are associated with heavily chloritized matrix, minor carbonate stringers. The second unit of interest is described as an altered felsic volcanic: medium grey to pinkish grey, fine grained, hardness 3-1/2 to 4, heavy carbonatization, magnetic.

Notes: Actual drill collar could not be located but area had obviously been cleared and an old drill(?) road appears to head westerly from the clearing. This location coincides with rough drill location sketch supplied in the Resident Geologist assessment files.
