Dec 07, 2005 (K R Kettles) - GEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION: Mapping by Riley (1978) shows this prospect to be underlain by east-west striking mafic flows and felsic tuffs, but work by West Red Lake Gold Mines Limited (1936a) shows the gold-bearing structure to lie between felsic tuff on the west and granodiorite on the east. This 'vein' is a northwest-striking structure at least 40 m long that dips 70 deg.NE. A diamond drill record (West Red Lake Gold Mines Limited, 1958a) indicates that a low-grade gold intersection was obtained. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION: A structure at least 40 m long cross-cuts bedding and carries low gold values over a width of 91 cm.
