Point Location Description: Diamond drill holes
Location Method: Conversion from MDI
Access Description: The property is located in the Willet Lake Area, approximately 0.16 km east of Little Marshall Lake and 0.8 km north of the western arm of Deeds Lake. Access is by float plane to Little Marshall Lake from Geraldton or Nakina.
1954: Joseph Gagne and John Cyr staked a group of 18 claims east of Little Marshall Lake along the northern boundary of Gzowski Township. All interests were transferred to Louis Pancer. 1955: All interests in the 18 claim group were transferred to New Goldvue Mines Ltd. Geological (29.7 days/claim), mag and EM (38 days/claim) surveys were conducted over the claims. During the latter part of the year, eight diamond-drill holes, totalling 763 m were completed. 1961: 13 of the claims were cancelled. 1964: The remaining 5 claims were cancelled. 1985: The area of the New Goldvue Mines Ltd. claims is currently open for staking.

Province: Superior
Geological Age: Archean
Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - The consolidated rocks of the area are all Precambrian in age. These are massive to schistose whitish quartzose sediments with mica, hornblende, chlorite, garnet and staurolite, some iron formation and conglomerate. Interbanded with this sequence are rhyolites, slates and basic lavas. Intruding this sequence are stocks of granite, syenite and dykes and sills of diabase, diorite, gabbro, aplite and lamprophyre. Structural features are principally confined to minor folding, shearing and faulting. The property is underlain by a series of metamorphosed sediments, siliceous to sub-greywacke in composition, and basic lava complex. These lavas show a high degree of metamorphism. The general strike of these rocks is N80E Ast., and dip steeply northward. The sediment-lava contact strikes in a northeasterly direction through the central part of the property. Intruding this sequence are dykes of syenite, diorite and probably some diabase, felsite and lamprophyre. A heavy gossan zone occurs within claim KK9932 and KK9329 and strikes N50E Ast. The hematitic and cellcular structure of the gossan is quite indicative of pyrite-pyrrhotite sulphides. Pyrite mineralization occurs in sheared lavas along the north boundary of claim KK9327. The mineralization was on strike with a strong electromagnetic conductor to the east. Eight diamond drill holes were drilled beneath the sulphides and all intersected iron formation.

Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - A heavy gossan zone occurs within claim KK9932 and KK9329 and strikes N50E Ast. The hematitic and cellcular structure of the gossan is quite indicative of pyrite-pyrrhotite sulphides. Pyrite mineralization occurs in sheared lavas along the north boundary of claim KK9327. Eight diamond drill holes were drilled beneath the sulphides and all intersected iron formation. The following are representative of assay results obtained in 1955: Hole #2, Sample 158: From 101.1 m to 116.0 m--tr Au, 0.07 ppm Ag, 0.06% Cu. 159: From 132.2 m to 151.0 m--tr Au, 0.06 ppm Ag, 0.06% Cu. Hole #3, Sample 162: From 125 m to 132 m--Nil Au, 0.09 ppm Ag, 0.08% Cu. Hole #6 returned results of Nil Au and Tr Ag.
