Nov 16, 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 coincident with 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.

Nov 16, 2010 (A Wilson) - The occurrence is hosted by strongly schistose and altered mafic metavolcanic and metaintrusive rocks. Erratic gold values are associated with quartz-(Fe-carbonate)-pyrite-pyrrhotite lenses within a high-strain zone. Deformed and altered felsic porphyry dikes occur in the vicinity of the occurrence.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Erie Canadian described the property as a 5 foot wide poorly mineralized shear zone in mafic metavolcanics containing quartz-ankerite lenses. The best assay obtained from a channel sample by Erie Canadian Gold Mines in 1938 was 1.2 dwt over 3.2 ft. Assays obtained by Vega Gold Exploration in the 1980's returned values of 0.41oz/t Au from a quartz vein and a quartz-carbonate section assayed 0.29 oz/t Au. A single assay from a 4ft wide quartz vein assayed 12.6 oz/t Au over 3.5 feet. The best assay obtained from drilling of the zone was 0.04 oz/t Au over 1.5 feet (Vega Gold Mines).
Nov 16, 2010 (A Wilson) - The earliest description of the property indicates that the main showing occurs within quartz-ankerite lenses in a shear zone.
