Metamorphism Type: Regional
Metamorphism Grade: Greenschist
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The deposit lies within the Northern 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 Northern Domain of the GLDZ is located immediately south of the Maskinonge Lake stock and is composed of brittle to brittle-ductile high-strain zones oriented at high angles to the 70 degree striking regional foliation These narrow brittle to ductile high-strain zones are up to tens of metres wide and may contain concordant quartz veins, and millimetre- to centimetre-scale brittle shears or fractures. The NE striking high-strain zones display sinistral, oblique-slip displacement, while the NW-striking shears display dextral, olblique-slip displacement.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The occurrence consists of a NNE trending quartz vein within sheared massive mafic metavolcanic flows or a sill.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Grab samples collected along the vein returned values of 0.32 oz/t Au over 3.5 feet, 1.9 oz/t Au over 2 feet, 1.24 oz/t Au over 1.3 feet (1933 sampling). The vein contains consistently high gold values for approximately 50 feet. Diamond drilling in 1935 returned an assay of 2.86 oz/t Au over 1.7 feet.
