Nov 10, 2010 (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 coincidentwith a major contact between Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 volcanics. There is a strong structural control of the gold-bearing quartz veins systems 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 felsic 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.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence is hosted by an assemblage of sheared, carbonate altered mafic to intermediate tuffs and pillowed metavolcanics. All units are intruded by a series of narrow quartz and quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes and sills. Many of the porphyry units display moderate deformation. Quartz veins are prominent and are found subparallel to the foliation.

Sep 23, 2016 (A Wilson) - A grab sample collected from a quartz vein by the OGS in 1978 returned an assay of 0.43 oz.//t Au and 0.15 oz/t Ag. The best assay obtained by Erie Canadian Mines in 1938 was 1.6 oz./t Au over 0.9 m. Assays from diamond drill core returned values of 0.36 oz./t Au over 5 ft., 0.04 oz./t Au and 0.16% Cu over .8 feet and 0.21 oz./t Au over 6 ft. from the 1980 drill programme of Vega Gold Mines Ltd. The calculated tonnage and grade of the bulk sample extracted in 1999 was 3090 tonnes with an average grade of 5 grams. Drilling highlights from the 2010 program include 10.61 g/t Au over 4.40 m in PM-AZ-10-10, 17.15 g/t Au over 2.40m in PM-AZ-10-18, and 5.94 g/t Au over 6.31 m in PM-AZ-10-20, 34.20 g/t over 2.78 m including 122.64 g/t Au over 0.70 m in PM-AZ-10-27, 11.37 g/t Au over 2.8 m in PM-AZ-10-23 and 9.18 g/t Au over 2.20 m in PM-AZ-10-24.

Geologist: A Wilson
Notes: Strongly deformed and altered, massive to pillowed mafic metavolcanic rocks and a quartz-feldspar porphyry dike host lenticular quartz veins within a 30 m wide by 100 m long, dextral high-strain zone. A peripheral zone of chlorite-calcite-pyrite alteration grades inward toward the mineralized vein to a (Fe-carbonate)-oyrite-sericite alteration. At the time of the last visit, the pit was one-third filled with water and the site had undergone rehabilitation during the summer of 2000.
