Geology Comments

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.

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Erratic anomalous gold and silver values are returned from bands of siliceous oxide-facies iron formation and sheared intermediate metavolcanic rocks.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Diamond drilling by Dome Exploration in 1975 intersected 0.30 oz/t Au over 1 ft in sheared intermediate metavolcanics. Old MDI records suggest that grab samples returned assays as high as 0.58 oz/t Au over 6 feet.
