Jun 06, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - A property visit was carried out in 1981 by Ontario Geological Survey geologists B.R. Schnieders and R.J. Dutka, who collected 8 samples from a quartz-carbonate vein associated with chlorite schist and accessory pyrite and chalcopyrite. The vein is up to 3 m wide, striking east with a vertical dip, and is hosted by granitic rocks of the Marmion batholith. Results from the 8 samples returned trace gold and trace silver values, except for 2 samples: • 81BBM-5: 0.01 oz/t Au, 0.13 oz/t Ag; • 81BBM-11: 0.24 oz/t Ag (Schnieders and Dutka 1985). The area was visited again in the fall of 1998 by E. Mosey and M. Wicheruk, who were prospecting the area around the historic Minto Mine. They discovered another shear zone 150m west of Moose Horn including a NE-striking quartz vein approximately 12” wide. Grab samples assayed from this area returned 980ppb Au and 1082ppb Au (Assessment report 20000017091).
