Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence lies south the Eastern Domain of the Goudreau Lake Deformation Zone and north of the Cradle Lake Deformation Zone. The GLDZ is up to 4.5 km in width and strikes in a gentle sigmoid-form for at least 30 km, subparallel to the stratigraphy and the regional foliation. In the immediate Goudreau-Lochalsh area, the GLDZ is coincident with a major contact between Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 volcanics. There is a strong structural control of the gold-bearing quartz veins systms within each of the 070-075 striking high-strain zones within the deformation zone. The Eastern Domain of the GLDZ is 9 km long and 2 km wide and contains narrow brittle and brittle-ductile high-strain zones displaying dextral, oblique slip displacement. Mineral lineations at the Cline Lake area have a consistent shallow plunge to the east and become moderately to steeply plunging in the Godin Lake area. Within the eastern domain, high-strain zones (as well as laminated, quartz-tourmaline and/or quartz-Fe-carbonate veins, fractures and flesic porphyry dikes) are dominantly parallel or at low angles to the east-striking regional foliation. The eastern domain is truncated on the west by the NW-trending Maskinonge Lake Fault.

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The property is described as a shear zone with an average width of 5 feet. Narrow quartz stringers occur in carbonate altered mafic metavolcanic rocks. To the north, the mafic metavolcanics are in contact with metamorphosed diorite sills and dikes. The sheared metavolcanics are altered to sericie-chlorite-epidote-pyrite.

Date: Nov 09, 2000

Geologist: A Wilson

Notes: The property consists of 13 parallell to sub-parallel quartz veins spread over 14 claims. Most of the work has been conducted on the No. 10 vein on former claim SSM 7989. The No. 10 vein occurs within a 2 m wide high-string zone within mafic meta intrusive rocks. The metaintrusive rocks are altered to chlorite-(Fe-carbonate)-quartz-pyrite schists. An aphanitic felsic rock (likely a felsic dike) is folded, boudingaged and partly transposed into the high strain zone.
