Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Deformation and alteration styles of the western MDZ, immediately west of Macassa Creek, are similar to the central MDZ. However, the intensity of strain and alteration decreases further to the west approaching the contact with the Pukaskwa Batholith. The MDZ swings with the stratigraphy, striking approximately 220 at Scuzzy Little Lake where stretching lineations plunge to the west. Folds, crenulations and kinkbands are not as common as in the central MDZ. The Scuzzy Little Lake area lies within the contact metamorphic aureole of the Pukaskwa Batholith.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling in the vicinity has intersected quartz-veins sericite schists, felsic lapilli tuffs and sheared mafic metavolcanic rocks. All rock units returned anomalous gold values.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - A series of grab samples collected by Dominion Explorers returned assays ranging from 0.01 oz/t Au to 0.09 oz/t Au.
