Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence lies within the Eastern Domain of the Goudreau 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 occurrence is hosted by a quartz vein within sheared mafic metavolcanic rocks. Iron formation was observed to the north of the mafic metavolcanic rocks.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Gold values are said to vary from $46.60 on the surface to $19.20 at a depth of 4 feet. Drillhole 16-13 on the Plowmand #1 Zone returned values of 1.61 oz/t Au over 1 ft. Drilling by Strike in 2002 returned values of 0.46 oz/t au over 2 ft. and 0.84 oz/t Au over 1 ft.
