Geology Comments

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.

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The showing is described as consisting of a series of quartz lenses within strongly sheared mafic metavolcanic rocks. The mafic metavolcanic rocks are cut by stringers and veins of granular quartz.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Surface samples from Zone 1 collected in 1933 ranged from 0.03 oz/t Au over 3.8 feet in the north to 0.02 oz/t Au over 1.9 feet in the south. The best assay obtained was 0.18 oz/t Au over 4.4 ft. A diamond drill hole completed in 1930 intersected 1.035 oz/t Au over 2.5 feet, the hole was collared 220 feet north of the vein and intersected the vein at 200 feet. The best assay obtained from diamond drilling in 1936-37 was 0.09 oz/t Au over 2.0 feet.
