Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The showing straddles the boundaries between the Northern and Southern Domains 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 systems within each of the 070-075 striking high-strain zones within the deformation zone. The deposit is hosted by the same shear zone hosting the Magino Deposit. The Southern Domain is composed on an 70 degree striking, ductile-brittle zone of subparallel, dextral oblique-slip, high strain zones developed within strongly altered and deformed felsic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks. The southern domain is approximately 8 km long by 2 km wide.

Lithology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Multiple alteration zones, containing high grade gold in quartz veining or silicification were intersected. Four lenses of mineralization have been outlined. These altered shear zones occur at the contact with the Webb Lake Stock and country rock. The Goudreau Lake Zone is presumed to be the extension of the Island Gold Zone, but is offset by localized faulting.

Mineralization Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - Selected assays from the Canamax drilling on the zone intersected values of 17.7 g/t au over 7 m, 42.48 g/t au over 1 m and 6.77 g/t Au over 2 m. Diamond drilling between the Island Gold and Goudreau Zones by Patricia intersected values of 7.05 g/t Au over 5.95 m and 5.0 g/t Au over 1.4 m.

Geologist: A Wilson

Notes: Multiple alteration zones, containing high-grapde gold in quartz veining or silicification were intersected over a strike lengh of 500 m. Four lenses, from surface to depth the yellow, orange, gren and red have been outlined. Gold is also present in some of the host rock between the lenses. These altered shear zones occur at the contact with the graondiorite (Magino felsite) and the country rock within the GLDZ. Abundant fracturing and shearing is present. THe Island Deposit is thought to extend to the Goudreau Zone, from which is is offset by faulting or influenced by lateral volcano-stratigraphic facies changes. The area between these two zones has had little drilling.
