Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The Baltimore Lake Deformation Zone (BLDZ) is located in northwestern Stover Township where it is defined by by a 1.2 km wide, SE-trending zone of folding, transposition and shearing. The BLDZ can be traced fro approximately 6 km southeastward across Stover Township. The BLDZ is characterized by rootless isoclinal folds of bedding/schistosity, sinistral and dextral shear folds, transposition and ductile shear zones axial planr to the folds.

Aug 19, 2013 (A Wilson) - The area is underlain by a SE-trending series of metamorphosed volcanics and sediments. Diamond drilling intersected a sequence of metasedimentary rocks and a thick sequence of carbonaceous schist. The sequence comprises grey to black carbonaceous bands intermingled with white carbonate. The sheared sone also contains numberous stringers and blebs of quartz-calcite. The footwall of the shear zone is comprised of dacitic tuff, metasediment and chlorite schist. Narrow intersections of lamprophyre also were observed.

Aug 19, 2013 (A Wilson) - A small amount of gold, generally associated with fine-grained disseminated pyrite occurs in small veins and stringers of quartz in irregular zones of alteration and silicification within breccia. In some places the rock is highly sheared and rusty; in others it is fractured and only slightly mineralized. Samples collected by Pileggi assayed from trace up to 0.17 oz/t Au. The average gold content is between 0.03 and 0.04 oz/t Au. The best assay obtained by Sylvanite Gold in 1943 was 0.12 oz/t Au over 1 m. Most assays ranged from tr to 0.08 oz/t Au over lengths of roughly 1m. Trenching by Turzone Exploration in 1961 returned assays of 0.045 oz/t Au over 12 m, 0.07 oz/t Au over 4.5 m, 0.036 oz/t Au over 29 m, 0.010 oz/t Au over 12m and 0.036 oz/t Au over 4.5 m. Turzone DDH 2 returned an assay of 0.02 oz/t Au over 60 ft. Sampling by Conquest Yellowknife in 1987 returned assays of 0.094 oz/t au, 0.046 oz/t Au over indeterminate widths. A 5 ft length of drill core from DDH 83-8 assayed 0.31103 g/t Au, and a 5 ft length of core from between 402 and 407 feet assayed 0.02% Cu.
