UTM Zone: 15 Easting: 504355.53 Northing: 5507367.704 UTM Datum: NAD83
Resident Geologist District: Kenora
NTS Grid: 52F10NW
Point Location Description: Transfer
Location Method: Conversion from MDI
Access Description: The property is accessible by a narrow gravel road which branches east from Highway 502 at Pritchard and Flambeau Lakes.
1917: Small test pits sunk at the northeast corner of claim A.L.90. 1983-1984: A. Kozowy acquired patented claim A.L.90 and discovered gold in the vicinity of the East Zone. Voyageur Explorations Limited optioned the property and conducted sampling, trenching, minor stripping, mapping and diamond drilling (8 holes totalling 3220 ft.). The option was subsequently dropped. 1985: A. Kozowy did more intensive prospecting, stripping, sampling and trenching and discovered high-grade gold mineralization at the East Zone, and also discovered the New East Zone. He subsequently optioned the property to Kidd Creek Mines Limited who conducted detailed sampling, mapping and extensive stripping. 1986: Kidd Creek's option was transferred to Falconbridge Ltd. who conducted geophysical surveys over the property. 1987: Falconbridge Ltd. dropped the option on the property which was subsequently optioned to International Platinum Corporation. 1987-88: International Platinum Corporation optioned the ground and completed a 45 ddh program and surface geophysical surveys

Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The East Zone is underlain by a small, intensely altered, quartz-diorite plug intruded by a larger gabbro stock. Both intrusions are intersected by a variety of mafic and intermediate dikes crosscut by felsic quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes. The intrusions are surrounded by coarse, chaotic, intermediate to mafic pyroclastics, and mafic to felsic, brecciated, and massive metavolcanic flows. The quartz diorite and gabbro intrusions have been interpreted by the author to be subvolcanic intrusions which were the sources for some of the surrounding metavolcanic rocks. (OFR5723, p. 188)
Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - The quartz veins are typically narrow (l to 10 cm) and composed of white quartz, orange-brown iron carbonate, black tourmaline, and ? 3% disseminated pyrite, with variably amounts of accessory sulphides such as, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite. Numerous, narrow, flat-lying quartz-tourmaline veins also occur throughout the quartz-diorite. Significant gold mineralization is restricted to the quartz veins and does not occur within the altered wall rocks. Coarse visible gold is commonly found in the quartz veins. (OFR5723, p. 188)

Jun 25, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - Drilling focused primarily in the Kozowy Zone immediately north of the center of Flambeau Lake and the Town-Voyager Zone immediately north of the northeast end of the lake. The deposit was drilled in two directions, one to optimize vein intersections and the other to optimize the host lithology intersection. Significant intersections include: 9.22 g/T Au over 0.15m (FL-07) 10.29 g/T Au over 1.52m (FL-09) 9.36 g/T Au over 0.95m (FL-ll) 10.52 g/T Au over 0.14m (FL-14) 7.30 g/T Au over O.72m (FL-19) 15.08 g/T Au over 0.45m and 41.48 g/T Au over 0.10m (FL-21) 10.18 g/T Au over 0.78m (FL-23) 15.22 g/T Au over 0.52m (FL-31) 51.50 g/T Au over 0.59m (FL-32) 11.93 g/T Au over 0.79m and 4.35 g/T Au over 2.96m (FL-41) 17 of the 47 holes reported visible gold, most not evident in the analytical results. (Kenora AF 52F/10NW, BBB-1, 2007 Compilation Report, pg. 31) - Four grab samples taken from quartz veins in trenches on the East Zone, assayed 0.02 ounce gold per ton, 3.86 ounces gold per ton with 4.88 ounces silver per ton, 0.17 ounce gold per ton, and 0.04 ounce gold per ton. - Four grab samples of quartz vein material were taken from test pit 45 m east of the East Zone assayed between 0.03 and 0.04 ounce gold per ton. - Chip samples taken from various trenches on the East Zone by Voyager Explorations Ltd. assayed 0.088 ounce gold per ton across 9 ft., 0.089 ounce gold per ton across 8 ft., 0.103 ounce gold per ton across 6 ft., and 0.636 ounce gold per ton across 8 ft. (Assessment Files, Resident Geologist's Office, Kenora). * Four diamond drill holes drilled by Voyager Explorations Ltd. and targeted on the East Zone, intersected narrow sections of gold mineralization assaying between 0.11 and 0.29 ounce gold per ton. (OFR5723, p. 189) * Extensive drilling by International Platinum Corp., in 1988 produced grade assays. For example: .269, .300, .297, .242, 3.08 Au oz/ton.
