Nov 16, 2010 (A Wilson) - The occurrence lies within the Eastern 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 systems within each of the 070-075 striking high-strain zones within the deformation zone. The Eastern Domain of the GLDZ is 9 km long and 2 km wide and contains narrow brittle and brittle-ductile high-strain zones displaying dextral, oblique slip displacement. Mineral lineations at the Cline Lake area have a consistent shallow plunge to the east and become moderately to steeply plunging in the Godin Lake area. Within the eastern domain, high-strain zones (as well as laminated, quartz-tourmaline and/or quartz-Fe-carbonate veins, fractures and felsic porphyry dikes) are dominantly parallel or at low angles to the east-striking regional foliation. The eastern domain is truncated on the west by the NW-trending Maskinonge Lake Fault.

Nov 16, 2010 (A Wilson) - This occurrence is hosted by sheared mafic metavolcanic rocks and sulphide-chert facies iron formation in contact with feldspar-porphyry dikes. The metavolcanics are altered to chlorite. The E Zone has a reported strike length of over 400 m with an average width of approximately 2 m.
