Point Location Description: property 17 on M0046b
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: Highway 11 and the East road run east–west to the north of the property. The property is accessible all year round by East road which transects the eastern end of the property, Catlonite road which runs directly south from Longlac, Seagram road which branches off East road and runs southwest through the western end of the property and Caramat road/Highway 625 that branched off Highway 11 approximately 16 km east of Longlac and runs through the central part of the property. A network of gravel forestry roads and logging trails, most of which are drivable by half–ton trucks and others that are accessible by ATV, provide access to various part of the property. Most areas of the property can also be accessed through water ways provided by numerous lakes, some of which are connected. The right of way of the Canada National Railway which transects the property also provides access to some areas by foot.

Mar 18, 2014 (A Wilson) - The occurrence consists of a quartz-carbonate vein occupying a fracture zone in a fine biotite-chlorite –carbonate schist. The vein strikes N65E and dips steeply. The fracture zone averaged 1.2 m in width and was uncovered for approximately 25 m in length.

Mar 18, 2014 (A Wilson) - The average of 6 channel samples collected by Ward and Morrow in 1936 was $19.76 per ton over 7 feet. A similar vein in an adjacent claim returned $10.50 per ton over 12 inches. Grab samples collected from the same vein by B. Durst in 1980 returned assays between 0.01 and 0.03 oz/t Au over 8 feet. Grab samples collected from Ward Morrow Trench 2 by Prodigy Gold returned 2.57 g/t Au, 6710 ppm Cu; 0.90 g/t Au and 9960 ppm Cu, 0.68 g/t Au and 9260 ppm Cu. Trench 3 located 500 m southwest of trench 2 returned assays of 1.11 g/t Au, >10,000 ppm Cu and 43 ppm Ag; 0.46 g/t Au and 8670 ppm Cu (Prodigy Gold). Pyrite is the dominant sulphide mineralization seen in the trench. It is localized and occurs mainly as disseminated fine grain pyrite and euhedral in places. The percentage ranges from trace to less than 0.5% but could be higher locally. Very localized but significant chalcopyrite mineralization was also mapped. The chalcopyrite was seen as mostly small blotchy patches associated with some malachite mineralization.
