SUMMARY
A gold exploration program Involving 915.5 meters of diamond drilling in
8 holes has been completed on a 16,000 acre property in the Marathon
Area of north-central Ontario for Carlson Mines Ltd. and Black Gregor
Explorations Ltd.
The 1987 drilling was carried out in two adjoining areas on the property.
Holes l through 7 were drilled in the general vicinity of Wire Lake and
tested surface gold showings, geophysical conductors and geochemical
anomalies located during previous exploration programs. Drill hole 8,
located approximately 2 km to the southeast of Wire Lake, tested a strong
airborne EM conductor that was precisely located during follow-up ground
geophysical surveys.
Anomalous gold intersections are summarized as follows:

Although no ore-grade intersections were obtained, it is concluded that
results from this first round of drilling are encouraging and more work
is clearly warranted.
Hole C87-2 which tested a geophysical conductor with a strike length in
excess of 400 meters, returned a value of 0.14 oz/ton Au over a core
length of 1.23 m in sheared altered pyritic interflow sediments. This
zone represents a priority target for future drilling. Several distinct
ly anomalous gold zones were intersected in holes l, 5, 6 and 7 in part
associated with a zone of strong shearing and alteration and surface soil
geochemical anomalies. Further drilling is also recommended for this
area.
The drilling failed to encounter gold values as high as those in surface
showings (1.2 oz/ton in quartz veins, 0.45 oz/ton in sheared interflow
sediments) and further work, primarily in the form of surface stripping,
is required in these areas.
A program of further linecutting, geophysical surveys, geochemical sur
veys, geological mapping and prospecting and additional diamond drilling
totalling 3,000 m is recommended to further evaluate the economic poten
tial of the Carlson-Black Gregor property. This work is budgeted at
$1,000,000.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents a summary of the results of a diamond drilling
program on the Wire Lake gold prospect in the Marathon area of north-
central Ontario carried out during February and March, 1987 on behalf of
Carlson Mines Ltd. and Black Gregor Explorations Ltd.
Seven of the eight holes were concentrated on the so-called "discovery
zone" located just south of Wire Lake. An additional hole was drilled
approximately 2 km to the southwest of Wire Lake to test a strong MaxMin
II EM anomaly.
Surface gold showings in the Wire Lake area indicate that gold occurs In
quartz-sulphide veins and also in sheared and silicified Interflow sedi
ments, both within mafic volcanics.
Results of exploration work previously carried out on the Carlson-Black
Gregor property are summarized in this report. The geophysical survey
results, on which the present drilling was largely based, are being pre
sented to Carlson-Black Gregor under separate cover.
This report describes the drilling program carried out, outlines explora
tion results to date and presents recommendations for further exploration
in the property area.

2.0 LOCATION. ACCESS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
As seen in Figure l, the overall property is centered approximately 20 km
northeast of the town of Marathon on the north shore of Lake Superior in
the Thunder Bay district of north-central Ontario.
The Wire Lake area, site of the present drilling, is located in the
southeast portion of the property.
The Hemlo gold deposits are centred some 20 km to the southeast of the
Carlson claims, while the Manitouwadge base metals mining camp is located
30 km northeast of the present property.
The property area is generally rugged with a high proportion of rock out
crop. Some ridges are in excess of 1,800 ft above mean sea-level.
The numerous lakes on the property such ae Cirrus and Goodchild provide
convenient landing sites for float aircraft from bases at White River,
Pays Plat, etc. The creeks on the property are indicated to be variably
negotiable by canoe. Helicopters are available for charter at Marathon.
The Trans-Canada Highway, No. 17, passes to the south of the property,
through Hemlo and just north of Marathon, as does the main line of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. There is now direct air service between Mara
thon and Toronto, Ontario.
The Terrace Bay-Man!touwadge hydroelectric power transmission line cros
ses the north portion of the Carlson property.
A gravel road extends from Highway 17 at Marathon to Mile 16 on the Pic
River. Tractor roads from there provide access to the property and
extend along Goodchild Creek past Goodchild Lake as far north as Cirrus
Creek. A number of variably overgrown logging roads are also present in
the area.

4.0 HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK
Gold was first discovered in the Heron Bay greenstone belt as early as
1869, making it one of the earliest gold finds in Ontario. That year,
Indian prospector Moses Peekongay had found a gold showing near the Pic
River, not far south of what was to become the main CPR line.
A company that was already producing silver from a mine west of Lake
Superior, Silver Islet Mines, financed a shaft on the Peekongay prospect
in 1873, and while work was in progress a number of high grade samples of
both gold and silver was reportedly brought out. Not much in the way of
production was ever recorded and little more was done in the area until
the early 1920's.
At that time the manager of the CPR stop at Hemlo found a gold showing
just south of the main line on a property now owned by Bel-Air Resources.
The initial assay ran $67 per ton or about 2.57 oz gold. A crew was
assembled and a number of trenches dug, but the work was shortlived.
Although it is impossible to say for sure who first found the gold show
ing that eventually led to the discovery of the Hemlo deposits, this is
generally credited to an Indian prospector from Heron Bay, Peter Moses.
Moses showed the property to prospector Harry Oilman, who teamed up with
American L .G. Williams and staked the 11 claims that now host the Lac
Minerals portion of the deposit. In 1945, Oilman and Williams financed
and conducted what was the first serious work done in the area of the
discoveries, although they got back little in the way of assay results.
Work recorded that year included a limited program of trenching and
stripping with one of the trenches apparently missing the main zone by no
more than a few feet.
Various efforts over the intervening years by Lake Superior Gold Mines,
Teck-Hughes Gold Mines and others yielded only modest encouragement.

This was the case until Hole C-76, collared on May 6, 1981, by Corona
Resources Ltd, cut a 10.5 ft section grading 0.209 oz gold per ton. This
turned out to be the Corona East Zone and its discovery ultimately
touched off one of the largest staking rushes in Canadian history.
The general area east of the Pic River encompassing the present Carlson
property has been prospected since at least the early 1920's. This work
was directed largely towards copper, copper-nickel and gold.
There has been a surprisingly small amount of assessment work recorded on
the Carlson-Black Gregor property. Some work in the immediate area
however is very relevant to the present claims.
Probably the most critical in this regard is work by Kerr Addison Mines
Limited in 1971 on a zone approximately | mile west of the No. 4 post of
present claim 663804 along the southwest boundary of the Carlson property
(Toronto Ministry of Natural Resources (TMNR drill report 33 - Seeley
Lake area.) The occurrence is located 2 miles due east of the 19 mile
post on the Pic River.
Kerr drilled 9 holes here totalling 1,013.2 ft on EM targets in the
extreme northeast corner of old claim 302250. The holes intersected
rhyolite, graphite tuff, greywacke, mafic agglomerates and andesite.
Of particular interest were their holes 4, 5, 6 and 7 which were all
drilled to the north on the same section under an old surface base metals
- gold showing ("Knut Kuhner Occurrence").

Drill logs from Kerr Addison include the following assays:

The mineralization occurs as pyrrhotite, sphalerite and pyrite hosted in
"felsic volcanics".
The mineralized section in hole 4 is from 6-60.6 ft and is described as
"rhyolite, graphite"; 11-44 ft has 40% po, 10? py, 5% sp and tr cpy.
That in hole 6 is from 20.1 to 54.8 ft with variable po, py and cpy in
rhyolite.
Shell Canada Limited in 1975 filed the results of airborne magnetic and
electromagnetic (Aerodat) surveys which covered the area east of the Port
Coldwell complex extending across the Pic River and including a small,
west-central portion of the present Carlson property (TMNR file 2.2011).
The edge of the Port Coldwell alkaline complex shows up very clearly as a
broadly arcuate area of greatly increased magnetic activity. A north
west-striking diabase dike in the north portion of the survey area is
clearly reflected in the magnetic data. Some more localized magnetic
anomalies may represent pyrrhotite C+ magnetite) concentrations in the
volcanics .
There is no detailed EM interpretation but a large .number of anomalous
intercepts are indicated. A particularly large concentration of these is
present in the area of the old Kerr Addison zone and to the north of

this. Shell apparently carried out further drilling in this area (5
holes ??) although no details are reported.
The geophysical trends tend to support the presence of an anticlinal fold
nose as mapped by the ODM in this area in that trends swing from north-
south in the south to more east-west in the north.
Teeshin Resources Ltd. in June, 1984 drilled 5 holes on present claims
469439, 469440 and 656714 (Figure 2) on the property immediately adjoin
ing to the south of the Kerr-Shell zone, although did not report any
assays (T-84 series; 1,165 ft, TMNR drill report 47 - Seeley Lake area).

Homestake Mineral Development Company currently hold the old Kerr
chert ,
Addison
zone via an option from Gowganda Resources Inc. Homestake carried out a
mapping and sampling program and magnetometer survey in the summer of
1984 (TMNR file 2.7364).
The Homestake claims are indicated to be "situated in the nose of a
northeasterly plunging anticline whose core consists of felsic volcan-
iclastic rocks. Successively overlying these are graphitic argillites
and wackes, carbonatized graphitic mafic fragmentals and finally a thick
succession of variably carbonatized mafic to ultramafic volcanics with
minor intercalations of banded ironstone and argillitic sediments. A
unit including occasionally quartz porphyrite intermediate to felsic
flows and pyroclastics with minor intercalations of banded ironstone and

sediments is present in the eastern portion of the property".
The banded iron formations are reported to be primarily of oxide
with some disseminations of pyrite and pyrrhotite.

Homestake view the Au-Zn-Cu zone drilled by Shell and Kerr Addison in the
southern portion of the property as "a small lens of silicified argillite
with nodular sulphides occurring within an argillite horizon in the
mafic-ultramafic sequence".
Examination of airborne geochemical surveys utilizing the SURTRACE tech
nique reveals a prominent airborne copper anomaly over the general Kerr
Addison zone area (Ontario Geological Survey, Study 25, MNR, 1983).
Also, there is reportedly a large lake bottom sediment geochemical
anomaly, indicated to be similar to that at Manitouwadge, in copper,
lead, zinc and mercury in Page Lake (G.S.C. Open File 746) immediately to
the east of the above showing. Carlson claim 663801 covers the southeast
extremity of Page Lake.
Westam Oil Ltd, in 1983-84 carried out a linecutting, Induced Polariza
tion surveying and diamond drilling program on the property immediately
to the southwest of the old Kerr Addison property. They drilled 3 holes
in February of 1984 on present claims 661861 and 661865 (Figure 2) to
test IP targets (TMNR drill report 46 - Seeley Lake area) . The holes are
summarized as follows:
Hole 1: 191 m @ -55" W
- mainly intermediate tuffaceous rocks with some rhyolite, lapilli
tuffs, garnetiferous mafic tuffs and lamp dykes.
- no apprec. sulphides, no assays.
Hole 2: 122 m @ -45 0 W
- tuffaceous sequence as above - mainly intermediate tuffs trending to
both rhyolite and mafic types.
- very little sulphides, no assays.
-

Hole 3; 119 m @ -50" W
- virtually entirely rhyolitic tuff with narrow lamp dykes.
- locally to 5% sulphide, no assays.
With reference to the Kerr Addison-Teeshin drilling approximately l mile
to the northeast, it is interesting that there is an apparent transition
from a more volcanic-dominated environment on the Westam claims to more
of a sedimentary regime in the latter area.
Pelangio Larder Mines Limited carried out linecutting and magnetic sur
veys and geological mapping on a 19 claim property in the west-central
portion of the present property in 1983 (TMNR file 2.6060). The property
was indicated to be underlain mainly by intermediate to mafic volcanics
with some dacitic tuffs, cherty metasediments, banded iron formation,
agglomerate and brecciated rocks. The area appears to be structurally
complex in that both north-south and east-west strikes were recorded in a
relatively small area.
Pyrite-pyrrhotite was observed in the dacitic tuffs and cherty sediments
in amounts of up to 5%. The banded iron formation was indicated to be
primarily of oxide facies with only minor sulphides. Mafic C+ ultramafic
??) units on the property exhibit variable carbonate alteration and pos
sibly sericitization is indicated in the more felsic units.
Programs of detailed prospecting and sampling along with IP/resistivity
surveys were recommended to further evaluate the property.
Pennant Resources Limited in 1984 carried out airborne EM, magnetic and
VLF surveys on a 24 claim property in the Seeley Lake area surrounded on
three sides by the west-central portion of the present claims (TMNR file
2.7096). Line spacing was 1/16 mile with a north-south flight direction.
Ten to 14 conductors of 'bedrock -potential" were identified. It was

further noted that "...,. the apparently non-fortnational short strike and
magnetic association characteristics of all the selected bedrock zones
points more favourably to massive sulphides. Conversely, the low calcu
lated conductances of the area are more discouraging to the prospects of
an economic massive sulphide deposit than that of gold".
Note that there is virtually no assessment work recorded on the main or
Lorna Lake portion of the Carlson property. There does not appear to
have been any drilling at all in the area.
Some copper-nickel exploration has been carried out immediately to the
west of the northern (Cirrus Lake) portion of the Carlson property. Much
of this was directed towards an old copper-nickel showing at a metavol-
canic-serpentinite contact 3 miles west of the property.
Pic Nickel Mines Limited in 1953-55 worked the above showing (TMNR drill
report 10 - Cirrus Lake area).
Fourteen holes were drilled with a total footage of 2,863 ft. Eleven of
these holes were concentrated in the immediate vicinity of the showing
with the remaining three spaced about 400 ft to the north and south of
the showing. Intersections of 100 ft and more of altered metavolcanis
rock were cut in the drillholes containing stringers and disseminations
of pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. In the drill logs the altered
metavolcanic rock is referred to as "rhyolitic rock". No assays are
available for these sections.
In 1954, Pic Nickel Mines Limited drilled another hole directed eastward
about 1,600 feet north and 200 feet west of the main showing and again
intersected altered mafic metavolcanic rock that contained stringers and
disseminations of pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. One section,
between 221.0 and 235 ft in the hole, contained sections that assayed
between 0.05 and 0.21 percent copper and 0.03 and 0.09 percent nickel.

MacLeod Cockshutt Gold Mines Limited in 1954-55 carried out exploration
work in the above area (TMNR drill report 12, 13 - Cirrus Lake area).
Three holes were drilled in 1954 on eighteen claims straddling Cirrus
Creek about 2 i miles south of the Pic River. The holes were drilled
entirely in serpentinite and did not intersect the contact with the meta-
volcanics. No mineralization other than minor magnetite was encounter
ed.
Also in 1954, 4 holes with a total footage of about 1,000 ft were drilled
on 10 claims enclosing Louis Lake. The best section encountered was a
10-foot length of 0.8 percent copper.
In 1955, MacLeod-Cockshutt drilled an additional 5 holes with a total
length of about 1,124 ft on the Pic Nickel Mines property. An earlier
hole was deepened, l hole was spotted 100 ft east, 3 holes placed 800 ft
north and l hole put down 2,400 ft north of the main showing. None of
these holes intersected the metavolcanicserpentinite contact, but traces
of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite were found in almost all the holes.
Inco Limited in 1963 again worked showings at the Louis Lake area serpen-
tinite-volcanic contact (TMNR drill report 14 - Cirrus Lake area).
Seven holes were drilled by them with a total length of about 3,000 ft.
Two holes were drilled near the main showing i mile northeast of Louis
Lake. The remaining 5 were located between 4,400 ft and 7,200 ft north
of the showing and 3 of these were completely within the serpentinite.
Of the remaining two holes, one intersected the metavolcanic-serpentinite
contact and cut about 20 ft of altered metavolcanic rock with sparsely
disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite, and occasional stringers of sulphides
directly adjacent to the serpentinite contact. Values obtained in these
holes are unknown.

Another occurrence of disseminated to massive sulphide mineralization at
the contact of the above serpentinite complex with surrounding volcanics
is to be found immediately west of Goodchild Lake. This area was worked
by Violamac Mines Limited in 1954 (TMNR drill report 11).
Mineralization consists of pyrrhotite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite as thin
seams and disseminations in silicified amphibolite in contact with the
serpentinite intrusion.
The highest values were registered in samples from the west end of the
zone where it becomes narrower. Values up to 2 percent copper, 0.5 per
cent nickel, and 2 ounces of silver per ton across widths of 8 feet have
been reported.
Five diamond drill holes, totalling about 2,000 ft in length, have been
drilled at various points along the silicified zone. Silicified raetavol-
canic rock, containing sparsely disseminated mineralization over narrow
widths, was intersected in all the holes.
Mexico Explorations Ltd, in 1969 held a property at the serpentinite-
volcanic contact area extending south from Louis Lake. They drilled 11
holes on various targets (TMNR drill report 15 - Cirrus Lake area). Some
holes cut pyrrhotite with graphite in the serpentinite-volcanic contact
zone. Others were entirely in ultramafics. No values are reported.
Descriptions of "obsidian" in drill logs probably refers to altered (sil
icified) volcanic contact zone material.
Since acquiring the present property, Carlson Mines Ltd, has carried out
an ongoing exploration program including airborne geophysical surveys,
ground geophysical surveys, geological mapping and prospecting and
geochemical surveys. Gold values in excess of l oz per ton were recorded
from narrow quartz veins and up to 0.45 oz per ton from sheared, silici
fied interflow sediments in the Wire Lake area in the course of this
-
l I l l l l l l l l l li l l i l i i

work. A prominent gold soil geochemical anomaly was encountered in the
showing area .
It was concluded that results of the above exploration were sufficiently
encouraging to warrant a first phase diamond drill evaluation of the
property. A program of 3,000 ft of B-size diamond drilling in 8 holes
was therefore recommended with drilling to commence in early February of
1987. The above drilling was completed and is the subject of this
report.

5.0 REGIONAL GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION
5 .1 Regional Geology
The Carlson property lies within a metavolcanic-metasedimentary seg
ment of the Wawa Subprovince of the Superior Structural Province of
the Canadian Shield. This portion of the Western Subprovince is
noteable for hosting the Heralo gold deposits.
Stratigraphically the volcanics and sediments in the Hemlo area are
tentatively subdivided into two groups; the southern, Piayter
Harbour group, and the northern, Heron Bay group. The division,
best distinguished in the west part of the area, is based on limited
chemical analyses and is apparently not as clearly defined in the
eastern half of the area (Muir, 1983). Muir (1984) describes the
rocks as follows:
"The Piayter Harbour Group consists largely of massive and vario
litic varieties of high iron tholeiitic basalt flows and pillowed
flows. Feeder dykes have locally been identified. A number of
relatively thin, intercalated, discontinuous units of intermediate
to felsic tuff and lapilli-tuff as well as siltstone were locally
found. Minor amounts of poorly banded chert, amphibolite, and
magnetite ironstone also occur in the west. Isolated lens-shaped
bodies (sills?) of pyroxenite and lherzolite are found within the
mafic flows in the Pulpwood Harbour area there are several very
thin units of altered graphitic mudstone which contain various
amounts and combinations of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite.
The bulk of the Heron Bay Group comprised dacitic and rhyolitic
calc-alkalic pyroclastic breccia, tuff-breccia, lapilli-tuff, and
tuff; rocks of rhyolitic composition are minor and restricted to
the vicinity of Heron Bay. The remainder of the group consists of
calc-alkalic basalts as pyroclastic rocks, pillow breccia and some
-
l l l l l l l l l l i i i i i l i i i

tuff; rocks of rhyolitic composition are minor and restricted to
the vicinity of Heron Bay. The remainder of the group consists of
calc-alkalic basalts as pyroclastic rocks, pillow breccia and some
flows. There are also some tholeitic basalt flows which become
more prevalent than calc-alkalic basalts in the area northwest to
east-northeast of Rous Lake."
Within the Heron Bay Group, there is an eastward facies change from
coarse fragmental volcanic rocks near Heron Bay, to finer-grained
fragmental volcanic rocks, to sedimentary rocks with a considerable
volcanic component (volcaniclastic) in the Hemlo area, to sedimen
tary rocks with an unclear provenance.
Stratigraphic relationships of rocks in the Carlson property area
relative to those at Hemlo have not yet been clearly defined (to the
author's knowledge) but it is very tempting to assign the Carlson
mafic volcanics as equivalent to the Playter Harbour Group and the
more felsic volcanic-sedimentary units to the west as part of the
Heron Bay Group.
A number of granodioritic to quartz monzonite plutons, also of
Archean age, invade the supracrustal rocks. One of these, the Gowan
Lake complex, forms much of the east boundary to the Carlson prop
erty. Numerous middle to late Precambrian subalkalic diabase dykes
cut all of the Archean rocks as do Proterozoic alkalic and lampro
phyre dykes. The latter are probably related to the Coldwell alka
line intrusive complex which is centred to the west of the present
property.
Multiple periods of deformation have taken place. Metamorphic grade
in the area of the Carlson property is indicated to be generally of
greenschist-amphibolite facies.

5.2 Mineralization
A great deal of attention has been focused on the Terrace Bay-
Marathon-Hemlo-White River area of north central Ontario following
the discovery of world class gold deposits near Hemlo station in
1981 and 1982 by Corona Resources, Lac Minerals and Goliath/Golden
Sceptre. Teck Corporation subsequently farmed into the initial
(Corona) find and Noranda Inc. has earned a 50? share in the
Goliath/Golden Sceptre discovery.
The Hemlo deposits are geologically part of one large semi-
continuous zone which must rank as one of the greatest gold discov
eries of the century.
Pre-production reserve and capital cost figures are quoted as
follows:

Gold mineralization at Hemlo appears to be spatially related to the
facies change between volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks to the west
and southwest and clastic sedimentary rocks to the east and north
east. It is localized at a volcanic-sedimentary contact and occurs
in the second volcanic cycle in the region which corresponds to the
Heron Bay Group.
The lack of raafic-ultramafle volcanic sequences in the Hemlo area
plus the presence of unusual mineralogical components (pyrite- moly-
bdenite-stibnite-arsenopyrite-barite) combine to differentiate this
ore zone from all significant lode gold deposits of the Canadian
Archean, such as the Timmins camp.
The ore consists mainly of pyrite, gold and molybdenite, with numer
ous minor minerals, in sheared volcaniclastic metasediments which
are sericitic and locally contain green mica. The volcaniclastic
units have been intruded by feldspar and quartz-feldspar porphyry
bodies and by diabase dikes. Of particular interest are the dis^
tinctive associated hydrothermal alteration assemblages tourmaline,
sericite, green mica and other aluminous minerals. Exhalative
volcanogenic models are intimated as to its genesis.
Recent workers such as Hugon (1984) consider the sericite schists
which host the Hemlo ores to be mylonites within a major dextral
shear zone. In this view, structural control of ore deposition is
considered significant and the exact or original lithologies are of
little interest. In this case hydrothermal epigenetic replacement
deposition may be invoked and, in fact, the alteration/accessory ore
mineralogy is precisely that of world-wide volcanic epithermal
deposits, for example in New Zealand.
Noranda's Geco massive sulphide deposit (Cu-Zn-Ag) at Manitouwadge
also occurs at an Archean volcanic-sedimentary interface, a similar
relationship observed for gold-pyritic ores at Hemlo.

Lytton Minerals Limited has reported what appears to be a signifi
cant gold discovery some 18 miles to the west of the main Heralo
deposits but located on the same general trend. Their drilling has
outlined a "low grade" silicified structure which extends for a
strike length of l mile and to a depth of 1,500 ft. (the "Main
Zone"). This zone is in the area of the first reported gold discov
ery in Hemlo area made by Moses Peekongay in 1869. Lytton, in late
1984, subsequently discovered two new zones some 1,300 ft. north of
the Main Zone, called the "C" and " Porphyry" Zones.
Gold mineralization in the "C" zone is reported as occurring in a
strongly siliceous sedimentary unit which contains barite and moly
bdenum and is bounded by dacltic pyroclastics. Values of up to 0 .23
oz Au/ton over 13.5 ft. core length have been reported (Northern
Miner, January 24, 1985).
Other gold showings and occurrences in the region occur at
Schreiber-Terrace Bay and Big Duck Lake, adjacent to Winston Lake.
These occurrences are hosted, for the most part, by silicate and/or
sulphide-facies iron formation and interflow sediments (graphitic to
cherty argillite, laminated tuff, chert) often with appreciable
associated base metal values. The encompassing mafic volcanics are
frequently carbonatized and silicified which is reminiscent of the
associations found at the presently producing gold mines of the Red
Lake district.
The Schreiber-Big Duck Lake area produced only minor gold in the
1930's. Deposit examples include the Schreiber Pyramid, Harkness-
Hayes, Empress Mines and Otisse, McKenna-McCann prospects.
This segment of the Wawa subprovince also contains a number of base
metal occurrences of volcanogenic affiliation. Of these, the
Winston Lake deposit, located 20 km north of Schreiber and 70 km
-
l l l l l l l l I l l l l l l l l l l
- 22 -
west of the Carlson property, is the most important. It is a
classic volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit which occurs near the
top of a mafic to felsic calc-alkaline volcanic sequence of the
lower Winston Lake cycle. Alumina-rich alteration assemblages simi
lar to that at Geco are recognized.
Reserves at Winston Lake, now undergoing development, stand at
2,675,000 tonnes grading 17.8% Zn, Q.94% Cu, 25 g Ag per tonne and
0.85 g gold per tonne (1985).

6.0 PROPERTY GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION
6 .1 Property Geology
The majority of the Carlson-Black Gregor property is underlain by
mafic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks (basalts and andesites).
Fine-to-medium grained, dark green to grey-green mafic to inter
mediate metavolcanics are especially abundant. The rocks are both
massive and well foliated, occasionally gneissic and, in places, may
be described as amphibolites. The metavolcanics reach amphibolite
grade of metamorphism near the contact with the granitic rocks found
on the eastern edge of the property.
Medium-to-coarse grained mafic metavolcanics are sporadically noted
across the property. The unit exhibits gabbroic to dioritic texture
and may represent either sills or coarse-grained flows.
Pillowed metavolcanics are found throughout the area. Generally,
original pillow structures have been destroyed. For the most part,
only selvages of pillows and pillow rims are recognized. Partially
complete pillow structures, although stretched parallel to folia
tion, indicate apparent stratigraphic tops to the east.
Scattered exposures of vessicular flow-top breccia are found
throughout the area of mafic metavolcanics. The breccia is composed
of grey-green subangular to rounded clasts of moderately chloritized
metavolcanics.
Fine-grained, banded, mafic to intermediate tuffaceous rocks outcrop
on the property. These rocks display narrow bands of light and dark
tuffaceous material. Outcrops of lapilli tuff have also been
recognized. The lapilli generally average 1-2 cm in size and are
stretched parallel to foliation. Garnetiferous chlorite schist,
mica schist and minor greywacke also occur.
-
I l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
- 24 -
Narrow (generally less than 5 m wide) beds of interflow and chemical
sediments are mapped throughout the claims, principally represented
by siliceous argillite, graphitic argillite, cherty tuff and/or
oxide-to-silicate facies iron formations* These units are generally
less resistant to erosion and are found in gullies between more
resistant ridges of metavolcanic rocks.
A large U-shaped serpentinite body intrudes the volcanics on the
northernmost portion of the property. This is of some interest in
that disseminated to massive sulphide mineralization in altered
rocks is known at various places along the contact.
The Gowan Lake complex which is a granodiorite to quartz monzonite
intrusive is found on the eastern edge of the property.
Numerous diabase dykes, which generally trend northeast-southwest
have been seen over most of the property area. These dikes range in
width from 15 to 75 meters.
Narrow lamprophyre dikes are ubiquitous within the property area.
Structurally, the volcanic units trend generally north-south with
moderate to steep dips. The rocks appear to young eastwards.
Numerous small scale drag folds and abrupt strike variations attest
to the relatively complex, multi-phase deformational history these
rocks have undergone.
There are 2 prominent directions of faulting on the property, these
at N70 8W and N55 0W. These are clearly visible on topographic and
airborne geophysical maps with some of the more prominent examples
including the Runnalls Lake Fault, Fallen Lake Fault and Veronica
Lake Fault.

6.2 Mineralization
Three distinct types of sulphide mineralization are recognized on
the property:
(a) Pryitic quartz veins hosted by mafic metavolcanics.
(b) Sulphide-bearing (pyrite-pyrrhotite, * chalcopyrite) graphitic
to cherty, argillitic, laminated tuff and oxide-to-silicate
facies iron formation.
(c) Disseminated pyrite within mafic metavolcanics.
Types (a) and (b) would seem to have the most potential in terms of
gold exploration.
Surface grab samples taken from a narrow (l foot wide) pyritic
quartz vein near L2+OOS at 2+25E on the Wire Lake grid returned an
assay of 1.21 oz/ton Au. Another narrow pyritic quartz stringer in
the same vicinity returned a value of 0.52 oz/ton Au.
Several samples taken near 1+OOE on L2+50S from a sheared siliceous
interflow sedimentary zone, with up to 15X pyrite and pyrrhotite,
returned significant gold values with the highest being 0.45 oz/ton
Au, 0.16 oz/ton Au and 0.13 oz/ton Au. Another grab sample taken
from an iron formation located l .5 km north of this area returned a
value of 0.095 oz/ton Au. It would appear, based on airborne geo
physical data, that this latter occurrence is along the same stra
tigraphic trend as the Wire Lake mineralization.

8.0 DRILL RESULTS - 1987
8.1 Summary
The 1987 drilling in the showing area south of Wire Lake has estab
lished the presence of at least four distinct gold zones. Zone A is
seen in holes C87-6 and C87-7 and contained the second highest gold
value of the program (0.092 oz/ton over 1.43 m). In hole C87-6,
zone A is found near the contact between an intensely sheared,
silicified, sericitized and carbonatized mafic volcanic and more
massive mafic flows on either side. The gold is found in the more
massive mafic flows and occurs within weakly silicified and serici
tized zones that contain trace to 2% finely disseminated pyrite and
pyrrhotite. In hole C87-7, gold occurs in an intensely sheared,
weakly silicified, sericitized and carbonatized mafic volcanic with
trace to 2 7, disseminated pyrite. This shear zone appears to be the
same zone seen in hole C87-6. Zone A coincides with a very distinct
soil geochemical anomaly.
Zone B encountered in hole C87-1 is a zone of silicified mafic
volcanics that have been intruded by narrow (1-3 cm wide) quartz
veins and quartz stockworks. Gold values occur in the 0.05 oz/ton
range in silicified and weakly sericitized mafic volcanics which
contain up to 7% disseminated pyrite. Zone B also coincides with
the above geochemical anomaly.
Zone C, which is seen in hole C87-5, is within an altered mafic
flow. The zone is locally sheared, silicified and carbonatized.
Gold values to 0.05 oz/ton occur in silicified volcanics which con
tain l-2% finely dissemianted pyrite. This zone appears to be
related to a zone of intense shearing which contains several mica
schist units. Zone C may also coincide with the above mentioned
geochemical anomaly.
-
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
- 29 -
Zone D is to the west of the above mentioned drill holes and repre
sents a new discovery in this area. Hole C87-2 was drilled to test
a prominent MaxMin II EM conductor. The highest value of the entire
program, 0.14 oz/ton Au over a core length of 1.23 meters, was
obtained in this hole. The gold occurs in a slightly silicified
tuff which contains 2% disseminated pyrite and/or pyrrhotite. This
'tuff is within an interflow sedimentary unit approximately 15 meters
wide. This interflow unit appears to have a geophysical signature
in excess of 400 m. This zone represents a first priority target
for future work in this area.
Drill hole C87-8, which did not contain any significant gold values,
had distinctly anomalous copper and zinc values. The possibility of
massive sulphide base metal deposits on the Carlson-Black Gregor
property cannot be overlooked.

8.2 Detailed Discussion. Drill Holes C87-1 to C87-8
Hole C87-1, collared on L2+50S at 1+48E, was drilled to test a geo
physical conductor that coincides with a sheared, silicified, seri-
citized, carbonatized, interflow sedimentary unit containing up to
lS-20% pyrrhotite, ;f pyrite mineralization. Grab samples taken from
this unit at surface returned values of up to 0.45 oz/ton. Three
anomalous zones (samples BG-1, 2 and 5) near the top of the hole are
described above as zone A. Semi-massive to massive bands of pyrr
hotite, similar to the surface grab samples, were encountered at a
drill depth of 61.16 to 65.96 meters; however, no gold values were
obtained from this zone.

Hole C87-2. collared on L2+50S at 0+80W, was drilled to test a
strong geophysical conductor with a strike length in excess of 400
meters. This conductive zone is a siliceous, graphitic, argilla
ceous to tuffaceous interflow sedimentary unit with up to 5% dissem
inated pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization. Sample BG-17 taken
over a core length of 1.23 meters assayed 0.140 oz/ton Au. This
sample of siliceous tuff is described above as zone D.
Hole C87-3 collared on L3+OOS at 1+05E, was drilled to test a
geophysical conductor extending south from the zone tested by hole
C87-1 . The target sheared, silicified interflow sedimentary unit
was intersected at a core depth of 38.45 to 44.44 meters. Sulphide
mineralization was not as well developed as in C87-1 and no gold
values of significance were obtained.
Hole C87-4, collared at 4+05S/0+75E, was drilled to test the south
ern extension of the geophysical conductor and mineralized zone
tested in holes C87-1 and C87-3. The same sheared, silicified,
graphitic argillite zone was intersected at a core depth of 72.40 to
74.63 meters, however, as in C87-3 this mineralized zone was poorly
developed and no gold values were obtained.
Hole C87-5. collared at 1+70S/1+70E, was drilled to test a geochemi-
cally anomalous zone and also the northern extension of the
geophysical conductor tested in holes C87-1, 3 and 4. Two anomalous
zones were intersected at drill core depths of 47.99 to 49.37 meters
and 53.07 to 54.93 meters, respectively. These two zones have been
combined and are described above as zone C.
Hole C87-6 was collared at 2+75S, 2+40E and was drilled to test a
highly anomalous soil geochemical anomaly (1130 ppb Au), centred 25
meters due west of the drill hole collar. Two distinctly anomalous
zones were intersected at core depths of 21.90 to 22.66 and 38.17 to
-
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
- 32
49.55 meters, respectively. These zones coincide with the geochemi
cal anomaly and returned a maximum value of 0.092 oz/ton Au over a
core length of 1.43 meters. This zone represents a second priority
target for future work in this area.
Hole C87-7, collared at 1+90S, 2+50E, was drilled to test a surface
pyritic quartz vein zone where grab sample values exceeded l .2
oz/ton Au. This hole also tested the geochemical anomaly extending
south from hole C87-6 at a greater depth. It appears that the sur
face quartz vein zone has been cut off at depth by a granitic intru
sive located slightly to the east of the surface showing. An anoma
lous zone was intersected at a core depth of 86.00 to 86.70 meters
which appears to be the northern extension of zone A intersected in
hole C87-6.
Hole C87-8 was collared approximately 2 km southwest of Wire Lake at
16+35S, 9-4-12.5W. This hole tested a strong airborne and ground
geophysical response. The conductive zone is a 5 meter wide inter
flow sedimentary unit consisting of siliceous, graphitic argillite
and siliceous tuffs. Up to 153! semi-massive to massive bands of
pyrrhotite, pyrite * chalcopyrite mineralization occur at a core
depth of 76.81 to 84.15 meters. No gold values of significance were
obtained, however distinctly anomalous zinc values are present (to
2300 ppm Zn). This is relevant since the possibility for a massive
sulphide base metal deposit on the Carlson-Black Gregor property
cannot be overlooked.

9.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
It is apparent that at least four distinct gold zones exist within the
discovery area just south of Wire Lake. Zone A appears to be related to
a sheared, silicified, sericitized and carbonatized zone within mafic
volcanics. Gold occurs within this sheared zone as well as in the less
sheared mafic volcanics on either side. A value of 0.092 oz/ton Au over
a core length of 1.43 m (4.69 ft) was obtained in hole C87-6. Though
not ore-grade, it is significant enough to warrant further work.
Zone D is a sheared, silicified interflow sedimentary unit consisting of
interbedded graphitic argillite and tuffaceous sediments. It appears to
have a strike length in excess of 400 meters. This zone represents a
first priority target for any future drilling in that a value of 0.140
oz/ton Au over a core length of 1.23 meters (4.04 ft) was obtained in
hole C87-2.
Two other anomalous gold zones (Zones B and C) were also identified
during the drilling program. Although values were not as high as above
(generally around 0.05 oz/ton) it is considered that further work is
warranted to properly evaluate these zones.
At least two of the gold zones directly coincide with a soil geochemical
anomaly. This type of survey will make an excellent exploration tool and
should be included in any future work program.
It is concluded that results from this first phase of drilling are suffi
ciently encouraging to warrant a major exploration effort encompassing
the present Wire Lake area and extending for some 6 km to the north along
the geophysically-indicated continuation of the potentially favourable
trend.
The basic geological/geophysical/geochemical reconnaissance on the pro
perty as a whole should continue.
