Point Location Description: 100 m south of U,Th symbol which is 400 m east of NE bay of North Bamaji Lake on map 2482.
Location Method: Data Compilation
Access Description: This occurrence is located about 92 km west-southwest of Pickle Lake and 11 km east of the First nation Community of Slate Falls. Trenches exposing the occurrence are located about 400 m east of the eastern extremity of North Bamaji Lake on the north side of a narrow valley which extends to Don's Lake. Access to this occurrence is by appropriately equipped aircraft to North Bamaji Lake, and then traversing overland to the occurrence area. A winter road along the Ear Falls to Pickle Lake power corridor passes about 0.5 km north of this occurrence.
1954: McCombe Mining and Exploration Ltd. trenched the Kirkland Townsite Showing #1 occurence to the east of Showing #2 and drilled 11 short DDH's, totalling 172 m. 1968: Kirkland Townsite Gold Mines Ltd. did trenching and geogicial mapping around the occurrence and commissioned an airborn spectrometer survey of the area. 1971: R. Knappett restaked the area of the occurrence and prospected the ground until 1977. 1978: Urangesellschaft Canada Ltd. commisioned a combined airborne VLF-EM magnetometer and spectrometer survey over the area and did ground work consisting of linecutting, prospecting, trenching, ground scintillometer surveys, a limited geochemicial orientation survey and detailed geologicial mapping. 1979: Urangesellschaft Canada Ltd.did a radon survey, 2 VLF-EM surveys and a resampling of the Kirkland Townsite and McCombe trenches. 1983: FTM Resources Ltd. commisioned airborne magnetometer and electromagnetometic surveys over the occurrence. 1985 to 1989: Umex Inc. completed geologicial mapping and rock and soil geochemistry, ground magnetometer and electromagnetic surveys,5 DDH's and airborne Mag and EM surveys in the area of the occurrence.

Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - On surface this occurrence is described as calc-silicate horizons in a strongly sheared, well foliated rock with the appearance of an intermediate volcanic rock. The intermediate volcanic rock grades into a medium-grained quartzo-feldspathic rock which is probably trondhjemite. The shearing and foliation trend east. In diamond-drill holes the mineralization is found in silicified sheared and brecciated zones within pillowed mafic volcanics. NOTE: This occurrence may be contiguous with the Kirkland Townsite Showing #2 occurrence.

Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - Pyrite is the principle sulphide, but chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrrhotite and molybdenite have also been observed. Values up to 0.29 oz/ton Au over 5.0 feet were reported by Urangesellschaft Canada Ltd. from the trenches on this occurrence. Diamond-drill hole Bam-87-6 returned 2775 ppb Au and 65.5 ppm Ag over 2.74 m from a 'quartz filled breccia-shear zone' in pillowed basalt. Diamond-drill hole Bam-88-8 returned 0.34 oz/ton Au over 0.3 m from a discrete shear zone in basalt.
