Access Description: Access is via an 18 km all-weather gravel road that turns off of highway 519 just west of the town of Dubreuilville. Dubreuilville is on highway 519, 44 km east of the junction of Highway 17 and 519. The vein is located on the west side of the new Goudreau road, just south of Tower Lake, approximately 1.5 km north of the junction of the old and new Goudreau roads.

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 zone is described as a silicified shear zone containing quartz stringers hosting visible gold. Gold mineralization occurs in a quartz vein that is localized along the contact between a felsic prophyry dike and mafic metavolcanic rocks. Locally, the mineralization is hosted by a quartz vein stockwork within the felsic porphyry dike. Mineralization appears to be associated with the contact between an intermediate to felsic metavolcanic and mafic volcanics.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Samples collected in 1933 returned values averaging 0.11 oz/t Au over 6 feet and 0.11 oz/t Au over 5.6 feet. Other samples close to the diabase dike returned values up to 0.69 oz/t Au over 4.3 feet. South of the diabase dike the zone averages 0.094 oz/t au across an adverage with of 7 feet for a length of 35 feet. Samples collected by Canamax returned values as high as 68.23 g/t Au. The best assay from channel sampling completed in 2000, returned 57.84 g/t Au over 0.5 m. The best assay from drill hole PK-00-09 was 7.9 g/t Au.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The mafic metavolcanic and metaintrusive rocks near the gold-bearing zone are hydrothermally altered to a biotite+calcite+chlorite+pyrite+Fe-carbonate assemblage. In the immediate vicinity of the gold-bearing zone, there is an increase in quartz veining and pervasive wall rock silicification.
