Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The West Zone is underlain by mafic metavolcanic flows intercalated with felsic flows and pyroclastics and intruded by mafic and felsic dikes. The West Zone is situated within the Lower Wabigoon Volcanics. (OFR5723, p.297)
Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - A number of small test pits have been sunk on intensely sheared mafic metavolcanic flows at the northwest end of the zone near Ojibway Drive. The sheared metavolcanics are fissile, rusty, tourmalinized, and contain abundant disseminated pyrite. The shear zone is crosscut by narrow, fracture-hosted quartz-tourmaline-iron carbonate veins. At the extreme southeast end of the occurrence shallow test pits and trenches have been sunk on fracture-hosted quartz-tourmaline-iron carbonate veins in mafic metavolcanics. The quartz veins contain pyrite and chalcopyrite, and are stained with malachite. The mafic metavolcanic host rocks are chloritized, variably pyritic, and iron carbonatized. No quartz veins occur within the mylonitized felsic metavolcanics which are weakly carbonatized and sericitized. (OFR5723, p.297)

Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - * Occurrence results: - A grab sample of sheared, pyritic, mafic flows, taken by J.R. Parker, from the pit at the northwest end of the West Zone assayed 495 ppb gold. - A grab sample from a quartz vein in the same pit assayed 5360 ppb gold. - A grab sample, taken by J.R. Parker, from a quartz vein containing <1% pyrite and chalcopyrite, in the test pit at the southeast end of the West Zone, assayed 1.52 ounces gold per ton and 56 ppm copper. - A 16 ft. chip sample, taken by Voyager Explorations Ltd. in the vicinity of the test pits at the southeast end of the zone, assayed 0.249 ounce gold per ton. (OFR5723, p.297) * Prospect results: - Falconbridge Limited drilled in 1987 and provided Au grade assays at gpt: 2.57, 1.37, 1.03 and 3.26, 1.89 (Kenora AF 52F/10NW, TT-8, Kidd Creek Mines Ltd., sample report & Kozowy Project sample location map)
