Access Description: Turtle Pond and White Water Lakes are situated immediately west of "Kaminnassin Bay", off the south west end of Dinorwic Lake, Claim Map G-2595. The area is also accessable by canoe and portage from Peak and Minnehaha Lakes located east of Hwy 502, approx. 50km west and south from Dryden, ON on Hwy.502. (Kenora AF 52F10SE, HH-1, Report p.2)
1941: 'Geographic region is reported on geologically by J. Satterly, in the fiftieth annual report of the Ontario Dept of Mines, Vol.L, Part II, 1941 entitled, "Geology of the Dryden-Wabigoon Area, report and geological map No. 50e. Gold has been found, associated with pyrite and pyrrhotite in rusty-weathering zones intercalated with volcanics; there are also rusty zones mineralized with pyrrhotite and minor sphalerite plus quartz-tourmaline veins with little to no sulphide content, distributed throughout the volcanics.' 1986: 'Geological reconnaissance in 1986 by Wollex Explorations - found and mapped shear zones containing quartz and quartz feldspar veins in the mafic volcanics, around Turtle Pond and White Water Lakes, that carried gold mineralization.' 1987: 'The Turtle Pond - Whitewater Lakes claim group were subject to geological and some minor geophysical examination and evaluation during the month of May, 1987, by a mineral exploration crew.' 'Mineral exploration work in the form of a geological mapping exercise, manual labour in the finding and securing of rocks and mineral grab samples, and in the stripping of select locations of outcrop and bedrock to enable geological mapping to be conducted, inclusive of the sampling from shear zones, areas of schistosity, quartz veining, carbonatization and structure of the bedrock in question.' (Kenora Assessment File 52F10SE, HH-1, Johnson, Stan C., Report p.4-8) 1987: Occurrence was inspected by J.R.Parker, author of OFR5723, Geology, Gold Mineralization and Property Visits in the Area Investigated by the Dryden - Egnace Economic Geologist, 1984 - 1987. * See Deposit Comment, Mineralization for further info

Mar 17, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - 'On claim #910932 there are three trenches, two of which trend N/S and the third E/W, that open zones of quartz-felsite stockwork contaiing 1% to 3% disseminated pyrite within sheared and schistose volcanics, also of intermediate to basic composition.' (Kenora Assessment File 52F10SE, HH-1) 'The original Whitewater Lake Occurrence, on the northwest shore of the lake, consists of a 0.3m to 0.6m wide, east-trending quartz vein crosscutting sheared, chloritic and carbonatized mafic metavolcanic flows. The vein consists of "sugary" white quartz containing dark green to black chlorite stringers, disseminated ptyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and fine-grained flakes of visible gold.' (OFR5723, p.221)

Mar 18, 2010 (J Bongfelt) - 1987: Best assay results from Terra Min Research Labs Ltd. for claim K-910932 are as follows: Grab samples of 1100 and 2180 ppb Au, channel sample of 1820 ppb Au, and trench sample of 1020 ppb Au. (Kenora AF 52F10SE, HH-1, report & Plate 3 geological map) 1987: 'A grab sample of the vein, taken by the author, assayed 1.56 ounces gold per ton while a sample of the wall rock assayed 1315 ppb gold.'
