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 is described as consisting of narrow bands of iron formation accompanied by a thin seet of pyrite and pyrrhotite. Quartz porphyry is described to lie on the south and schisted greenstone to the north.

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The only analysis available from the showing is for sulphur. Grab samples returned values ranging from 41.01% S and 45.68% S. Collins, Quirke and Thomson report that a small value of gold was said to have been obtained from a sample of a quartz vein within the pyritized zone.
