Point Location Description: Diamond drill holes

Location Method: Conversion from MDI

Access Description: This occurrence is located about 61 km west-southwest of Pickle Lake and about 5.5 km east-southeast of the Golden Patricia mine. This occurrence was intersected by diamond-drill hole MM-86-07 which was spotted about 1.1 km east-northeast of the northeast shore of Muskegsagagen Lake. Access to this occurrence is best gained through the Golden Patricia mine which is serviced by an all-weather airstrip and a winter road from Pickle Lake. Appropriately equipped aircraft may land on Muskegsagagen Lake to the southwest of the occurrence.



Exploration History

1984: St. Joe Canada Inc. commissioned an airborne magnetometer survey over an area including the occurrence.

Geology Comments

Dec 07, 2005 (B Nelson) - This occurrence is known from 2 closely spaced intersections of gold mineralization in diamond-drill hole M-86-07. The upper zone consists of a carbonate-quartz vein system with 1%-2% disseminated sulphides hosted by a mafic metavolcanic flow. The upper zone assayed 1.37 g/t Au over 0.30 m. The lower zone, intersected about 4 m further down the hole consists of a narrow 'magnetite ironstone' hosted by the same mafic metavolcanic flow. The mafic metavolcanic around the 'magnetite ironstone' contains wispy carbonate stringers. Sulphides are not noted in the lower zone. The lower zone assayed 1.37 g/t Au over 0.60 m.
