Geology Comments

Feb 15, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - 'The property lies within a wedge of Archean aged metavolcanic rocks that is located between the Atikwa and Dryberry granitic batholiths. The rocks consist mainly of northeast trending pillowed to massive mafic volcanics that are considered to be a part of the Populus Volcanics, one of three groups of rocks as defined by Trowell et al (OGS, 1980) that occur in this area.' (Kenora AF 52F/05NW, BB-4, Cabo Mining Enterprises, Drilling Report - pg.5)




Lithology Comments

Feb 15, 2011 (J Bongfelt) - 'Drill hole ML-4 was drilled on IP anomalies located from a survey conducted by Noranda in September of 1984. The anomalies indicate high chargeability and high resistivity and were interpreted as indications of siliceous rock with gold bearing potential.' (Kenora AF 52F/05NW, V-1, Granges Exploration Ltd.)
