Aug 15, 2019 (Therese Pettigrew) - From 1937 to 1952 Sagawana Gold Mines Limited held a 45-claim property near Sagawitchewan Falls, but the exact location is unclear (Northern Mines Handbooks 1937, 1938, 1943 to 1947, 1952). Reports in the Globe and Mail, 8th January, 1946 and in Precambrian, October 1945 state that three shear zones were uncovered, the longest of which is 1,200 feet long and 20 feet wide. Samples from this zone are said to average more than 0.5 oz. gold per ton and to contain copper, silver, lead, zinc and tungsten. There is no record of diamond drilling or assessment work (Riley and Bennet, 1969). BP did not find any mineralization during their 1981 mapping program.
