    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.

  • l l lllfl l i i i i i i i i i i i

    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:

    * 0.16 oz per ton

    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).

    The holes are summarized as follows:

    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

    The banded iron formations are reported to be primarily of oxide

    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.

  • l l l l l ll ll l l l ll ll il t

    - 12 -

    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

  • l I l l l l l ll l l lI l l l l l i

    - 13 -

    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

    - 16 -

    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

    - 18 -

    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.

  • l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

    - 31 -

    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.
