Point Location Description: Diamond drill holes

Location Method: Conversion from MDI

Access Description: This occurrence is located about 41 km southwest of Pickle Lake. It was intersected in a diamond-drill hole spotted about 1.95 km south of Kawinogans Lake and 2.7 km northeast of Knupp Lake. Access to this occurrence is by appropriately equipped aircraft to Knupp Lake or Kawinogans Lake and then a traverse overland or by helicopter to a site near the occurrence. The winter road to the Golden Patricia mine passes along the Ear Falls to Pickle Lake power corridor about 1.25 km northeast of the drill hole site.



Exploration History

1988: Bond Gold Canada Inc. commissioned airborne mag and EM surveys over an area which included the occurrence. This was followed up by geological mapping, probably ground geophysical surveys and diamond-drilling, including 2 DDH on this occurrence. 1990: Bond Gold Canada Inc. carried out sampling and did further diamond-drilling in the area of this occurrence, including at least 1 DDH totalling 101 m.

Lithology Comments

Jun 15, 2020 (B Nelson) - Drill hole JWH-88-03 cut a succession of mafic metavolcanics containing several interflow beds of sulphide iron formation. The hole also intersected 2 significant quartz veins and a quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusive. Somewhere within the 112.54 m long hole a sample of unknown length returned an assay value of 0.03 oz/ton Au.
