Point Location Description: Transfer
Location Method: Conversion from MDI
Access Description: The New East Zone is accessible by a skidder road, branching north from a gravel road, which branches east from Highway 502 at Pritchard and Flambeau Lakes.
1917: Report of work being conducted on claim A.L. 90. 1983-1985: Patented claim A.L. 90 acquired by A. Kozowy, who discovered the East Zone on the north shore of Flambeau Lake. The property was optioned to Voyager Explorations Ltd. who conducted work at the East Zone and subsequently dropped the option. More prospecting by A. Kozowy resulted in the discovery of the New East Zone. The property was subsequently optioned to Kidd Creek Mines Ltd. who conducted geophysical and geological surveys, stripping, and sampling. 1986-1987: Kidd Creek's option was transferred to Falconbridge Ltd. who did not conduct work on the New East Zone. 1987: Falconbridge Ltd. dropped the option on the property which was subsequently optioned by International Platinum Corporation. (OFR5723, p.255) 1988/89: Internation Platinum Corp performed a diamond drilling, stripping and sampling program on the Flambeau Lake Property.
Province: Superior
Geological Age: Precambrian
Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The New East Zone occurs within a fine- to medium-grained, elliptical, diorite stock intruding intermediate to mafic pyroclastics and brecciated flows. The diorite stock is situated along the northern flank of a large gabbro/diorite intrusion at Flambeau Lake. The New East Zone is situated within the Lower Wabigoon Volcanics. (OFR5723, p.254)
Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - Quartz-iron carbonate-tourmaline veins are hosted by westand northwest-trending (100º-110º and 335º-345º) tension fractures, and west (108º50ºN), northeast (061º/81ºNW) and northwest-trending (307º/76º N), narrow (0.3 m-0.6 m), shear zones within the massive, gray-green, magnetite-bearing, diorite stock. The diorite is intruded by a northwest-trending (335º), 3.0 m to 3.6 m wide, medium-grained, massive, gray to pink, quartz-feldspar porphyry dike, and east-trending intermediate to mafic dikes. The majority of the diorite stock is weakly to moderately altered. Four shallow test pits have been sunk on the gossan-covered "main" shear zone, striking 108 º /50 º N, which hosts a narrow (7.6 cm-10.2 cm) quartz vein. The quartz vein is rusty and contains minor disseminated pyrite, hematite and iron carbonate. The wall rock (diorite) is sericitized and contains 1%-3% disseminated pyrite (T-3%), and coarsely crystalline orange-brown iron carbonate. Flat-lying quartz veins containing abundant black tourmaline occur throughout the diorite. A trench, at the extreme east end of the zone, has been sunk on the diorite and on the quartz-feldspar porphyry dike, both of which host quartz veins located in tension fractures striking 322 º /58 º NE. The veins and wall rocks contain 2-5% disseminate pyrite. The diorite and porphyry dike wall rocks are carbonatized and sericitized. (OFR5723, p.254)

Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - * Occurrence results: Six grab samples, taken by J.R. Parker, of intensely altered, pyritic diorite, hosting quartz veins and stringers, assayed 0.02, 0.03, 0.03, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.11 ounce gold per ton. (OFR5723, p.254) * Prospect results: 1988/89 Diamond Drilling, Stripping and Sampling Program on the Flambeau Lake Property by International Platinum Corporation. DDH resulted in grade assay results, for example: Au oz/ton - 0.269, 0.189, 0.300, 0.096, 0.195, 0.213.
