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) - This zone is hosted by massive mafic metavolcanic rocks and coarse-grained mafic meta-intrusive rocks which become strongly schistose in the vicinity of the mineralization. These rocks have been altered to a biotite-chlorite-carbonate assemblage. A highly deformed, and altered porphyritic unit has been observed on the west side of the silicified zone. the vein is boudinaged and is truncated on the north by a NW trending diabase dike. The vein does not reappear on the north side of the dike although biotitic alteration associated with the veining does continue on the west flank of the dike.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Surface trench assays from the vein show an mineralized zone assaying 0.347 oz/t Au uncut and 0.291 oz/t Au across an average width of 7.3 feet for a length o 140 feet. The best assay returned from the 1936 diamond drilling was 0.06 oz/t Au across 2.5 feet. Trench samples collected in 1933 returned average values of 0.27 oz/t Au over a width of 4 feet. Channel samples collected by Patricia in 2000 returned values up to 56.91 g/t Au over 1 m. Samples collected in 2000 returned the following values: 7.23 g/t Au over 1.5 m; 4.98 g/t Au over 3.5 m and 20.11 g/t Au over 6 m.
Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The vein system has a 1-2 mwide halo of strongly biotitze, schistose mafic metavolcanic rocks with pyrrhotite, chlorite and calcite. This grades outward into chlorite-calcite schists and then into relatively undeformed and unaltered mafic metavolcanic rocks.

Geologist: A Wilson
Notes: The vein has a pinkish-grey colour on the weathered surface possibly due to the biotite alteration. The gold-bearing vein system is localized within a 30 degree striking, dictile high-strain zone. Mineral lineations appear to plunge steeply to the north, orthogonal to a well developed, shallowly SW plunging chlorite crenulation lineation. Brittle fracture sets occur at 120/83 and 00/90. The second set of brittle fractures is commonly infilled with veinlets of calcite and quartz.
