Feb 24, 2010 (C Ravnaas) - BEST ASSAY: 1495 PPB AU, LOCATION: POINT LOCATED COULD BE ANYWHERE ON CLAIM HW 167. The H.W. 167 Occurrence east of Mosher Bay and north of Surprise Lake, consist of east-northeast-trending quartz porphyry dikes intruding metasediments. Dikes at the location are reported to host "good looking" fracture-controlled quartz veins containing visible gold (Coleman 1898). (OFR 5723, p.117) Other occurrences similar to the Giant Mine occur within the metasediments of the Manitou Group. The H.W. 167 occurrence consist of sheared felsic dikes and metasediments in east-northeast-trending shear zones. Quartz veins are situated at the contacts between the sheared dikes and the metasediments. The dikes also contain fracture-hosted quartz veins. Sulphide content in the wall rocks and quartz veins is generally low; how ever, the author did obtain a highly anomalous gold value from quartz veins hosted by a felsic dike in the vicinity of the H.W. 167 Occurrence. (MP 142, p.21) The Big Dick Occurrence, on the north shore of Mosher Bay, consists of a strong, narrow, northeast-trending shear zone, extending through the contacts of an intensely altered gabbro with a coarse-grained quartz-feldspar porphyry dike. The gabbro is fissile, intensely iron carbonatized, pyritic, and chloritized. Quartz veins are shear zone and tension fracture-hosted and contain altered fragments of wall rock, disseminated py rite, arsenopyrite, and minor chalcopyrite. The author sampled all the occurrences and prospects described above, however, most of the samples analyzed yielded only slightly anomalous gold values. The best result was from a sample taken from a sheared felsic dike in the vicinity of the H.W. 167 Occurrence, which contained 1495 ppb gold. A grab sample of pyritic meta-arenite taken from a pit at the "Ten Trench" area contained 1470 ppb gold. A grab sample of pyritic, quartz vein material taken from the adit at the Giant Mine had 1300 ppb gold, and a sample of a pyritic, quartz-feldspar porphyry dike at the adit contained 1385 ppb gold (Geoscience Laboratories, Ontario Geological Survey, Toronto).
