Geological Report

Eldorado Township Property - Claim P1190040

Timmins Area

Introduction

The property consists of one 16 hectare claim unit (PI 190040) in northeast Eldorado

Township (Figures l and 2). The property is accessed from the Redstone River road

which extends south from South Porcupine and traverses the east part of Eldorado

Township; the claim is a mile east of the road. Prior to the co-owners acquiring the

present claim, there had been no exploration work recorded on the property other than

falling within the confines of large regional airborne surveys. D. Pyke, K. Gunnison and

B. Raine are the co-owners of the property.

Cursory examinations of the outcrop areas on the claim were carried out in 1993 and

1996, and three samples (E-1, E-2 and E-3) of the diatreme/lamprophyre rock underlying

the property,, as reported by Pyke (1975)r were taken for thin section examination . One

sample (E-1) was submitted for whole rock, trace element and rare earth element

analysis. The results from these surveys have been submitted for assessment. The

objective of the examination was to determine whether the lamprophyre/diatreme

intrusion underlying the property area has a potential to be diamond bearing, or contain

economic concentrations of rare earth elements.

Scale l : 20,000

General Geology

The property lies within a trondhjemitic stock (Pyke, 1975) intruded by a northeast

trending quartz diabase dike (Figure 1). Two outcrop areas of lamprophyre/diatreme

intrusion occur adjacent to, and on either side of, the diabase.

Regionally (Figure 1), the lamprophyre/diatreme is near the south margin of the Shaw

Dome, lies within a major NE trending fracture zone (now occupied by the diabase) and

is within two miles of the regional NW trending Montreal River fault which transects the

Timmins, Matachewan and Elk Lake camps.

Present Survey

The present survey was carried out by D, Pyke and K. Cunnison during the period

June - September 1997. The claim was mapped at a scale of l :5,000, utilizing an air

photo blow-up and pace and compass survey lines for control. A total of 15 samples (E-

4 to E-18) were taken from the property, all of which were subsequently slabbed and

photographed. Seven polished thin sections and four thin sections were cut from the

samples taken during this period. Two samples (E-4 and E-6) were submitted to

Activation Laboratories, Ancaster, Ontario for whole rock, rare earth element and trace

element geochemical analysis. Microprobe analysis of phenocryst^ and groundmass

minerals in four polished thin sections of the lamprophyre were undertaken at the

University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, utilizing the JEOL-8600 Superprobe

in the Department of Earth Sciences.

Property Geology

The claim lies within a trondhjemitic stock intruded by a NE trending, Nippising-type

quartz diabase dike (Figure 3). Two large outcrop areas of lamprophyre/diatreme

(Photograph 1) occur on either side of the diabase and are intrusive into both the

trondhjemite and diabase. Geological contacts between the lamprophyre and the

trondhjemite are nowhere exposed. The trondhjemite (Photograph 5) is massive,

medium grained, light grey to pinkish grey on weathered and fresh surfaces, quartz-rich

(25 07o) and has a colour index of 8 - 10 (hornblende/biotite). The diabase (Photograph 6)

is approximately 100 metres wide, is massive, medium grained, dark green on weathered

and fresh surfaces and contains trace to 507o quartz, with a colour index of 40,

The lamprophyre/diatreme is massive, highly vesiculated, strongly magnetic, dark

grey to black on fresh surface exposures and weathers dark orange-brown (Photographs 3

and 4). Xenoliths of trondhjemite and diabase are ubiquitous, with the former being

particularly abundant and occurring as angular to rounded inclusions, from l cm to 0.5

metres in diameter and forming upwards to 30-400Xo of the rock by volume (Photographs

2-4, 1). Xenoliths of diabase (Photograph 8) are much less common and occur as

subrounded to angular inclusions, rarely up to 10 cm in size. The lamprophyre contains

S-10% subrounded to elliptical vesicles and 1-2*^ amygdules, varying from l mm to 10

mm in size. Amygdules are much less commonly observed than vesicles and are filled

with fine grained aggregates of calcite and minor magnesium chlorite. Many of the

vesicles may in fact represent amygdules from which the carbonate is now weathered out.

Photograph 9. Cut slab of lamprophyre containing minor trondhjemitic inclusions. The large black spots, to l cm in size, are phenocrystic aggregates of olivine, largely altered to carbonate, with lesser amounts of chlorite and tremolite-acrinolite. The smaller black grains to 3 mm or less in size are clinopyroxene (Ti-augite) phenocrysts altered to chlorite- carbonate. Sample E-16.

Olivine aggregate is surrounded by smaller, sub-euhedral phenocrysts of pyroxene, altered to chlorite-carbonate and containing numerous small inclusions of sphene. The dark, fine grained groundmass is largely chlorite, titaniferous magnetite and sphene. Uncrossed polarizers. Length of photograph is 3 mm. Sample E-3.

Photograph 13 Same as photograph 12, crossed polarizers.

The lamprophyre typically contains lS-20% mafic phenocrysts of extensively altered

olivine and pyroxene, set within a relatively fresh groundmass of fine grained titanaugite

laths, titanomagnetite, chlorite, sphene, carbonate, trace apatite, and possible very minor

nephelene or feldspar. (Photographs 9 and 10). In hand specimen, the most noticable

phenocrysts are large, 3-10 mm in size, dark grey to black, anhedral to commonly

subcircular nodules/ phenocryst^ aggregates of olivine(?), now extensively to

completely altered to carbonate and lesser tremolite and Mg-chlorite (Photographs 9-13),

These large phenocryst^ aggregates occur fairly uniformly throughout the lamprophyre

and generally form B-5% of the rock. Extensively carbonated olivine aggregates

display well preserved relict textures and contain clear to dusty carbonate with

development of chlorite - tremolite within grain fractures and along narrow,

anastomosing grain aggregate margins (Photographs 10 and 11). Less extensively

carbonated, altered olivine aggregates contain higher percentages of magnesium

chlorite, tremolite-actinolite and possible minor serpentine and often display strong

deformation fabrics (Photomicrographs 12 and 13). Altered olivine aggregates very

commonly exhibit thin, granular reaction rims of garnet, believed to have formed

through reaction between the altered (carbonatized) olivine and the surrounding

ultrabasic magma prior to its crystallization into the observed pyroxenide groundmass.

Pyroxene (titanaugite) phenocrysts are generally subhedral to euhedral and range in

size from 0.20 to rarely 4.0 mm, averaging approximately 0.5 mm (Photographs 14-19);

they are the most abundant phenocryst mineral, comprising JO-12% of the rock.

Photograph 14 Photomicrograph of lamprophyre showing euhedral phenocrysts of Ti-augite now altered to carbonate (very pale green), chlorite (pale green) and fine included grains of sphene. The sphene is contained almost exclusively within the chloritic areas of the augite crystals.

2.7-

The pyroxene phenociysts are entirely altered to chlorite, sphene, -f-/- calcite and minor

actinolite; they commonly exhibit diffuse cores of pale carbonate with darker green,

outer zones of chlorite (Photographs 14,15 18/19, and 25). Very fine grained crystalline

aggregates of sphene occur along the outer margin of many of the titanaugite phenocrysts

(Photographs 14,23 and 24), and also very often occur as more diffuse crystals

concentrated within the centre of the phenocrysts (Photographs 19, 24 and 25).

Deep yellow-brown, strongly pleochroic kaersutite (a calcic, titanium, sodium-

bearing amphibole) represents a third phenocrystic phase occurring in the lamprophyre

(Photographs 20 and 21). Kaersutite phenocrysts comprise trace to one percent of the

rock, are generally subhedral, average 0.5 to 1.0 mm in size, display well developed

amphibole cleavage and contain fine inclusions of titanomagnetite, The amphibole

phenocrysts are generally only very weakly altered to carbonate and often partially

enclose earlier formed phenociysts of highly altered titanaugite (Photograph 20).

The groundmass of the lamprophyre is very fine grained, relatively fresh, and

consists of clinopyroxene (titanaugite and lesser diopside), titaniferous magnetite,

chlorite, carbonate, sphene, minor tremolite-actinolite and trace amounts of chrome

spinel, apatite, pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. Well developed igneous flow textures

are observed in the groundmass where it occurs surrounding earlier formed pyroxene and

olivine phenocrysts (Photographs 17,23,24 and 26). Titanaugite comprises 70-75 V* of

the groundmass and occurs as fine, elongate laths, 0.05 to 0.1 mm in size, that are

generally weakly altered to calcite (Photograph 28). Groundmass titanaugite crystals

occasionally contain irregular to patchy cores of diopside (see Geochemistry section).

Photograph 20 Photomicrograph of lamprophyre. Shows pale green phenocrysts of titanoaugite, largely altered to chlorite and sphene. The fractured orange brown phenocryst is kaersutite, a calcic, high titanium amphibole . The groundmass is largely composed of very fine grained laths of clinopyroxene (Ti-augite) and interstitial to skeletal titaniferous magnetite. Uncrossed polarizers. Length of photograph is 3.0 mm. Sample E-7.

Photograph 23 Backscattered electron image of lamprophyre. Euhedral crystal of titanoaugite is completely altered to chlorite and minor carbonate. The white , fine grained crystals occurring along the rim of the euhedral titanoaugite are sphene aggregates. Groundmass pyroxenes surround the phenocryst and display a pronounced "wrap-around" igneous flow texture. The groundmass pyroxene is set hyalophitically within a matrix of chlorite, possibly having formed from recrystallized glass. Sample E-7.

The white, fine grained crystals occurring along the rim and in the centre of the euhedral titanoaugite are sphene aggregates. Groundmass pyroxenes surround the phenocryst and display a pronounced "wrap-around" igneous flow texture. The groundmass pyroxene is set hyalophitically within a matrix of chlorite, possibly having formed from recrystallized glass Sample E-7.

Photograph 26. Backscattered electron image of lamprophyre. The subhedral phenocryst of titanoaugite in the centre of the photograph is extensively altered to carbonate, with relict seams of chlorite (darker grey) and sphene. Sample E-4.

Photograph 27. Backscattered electron image of lamprophyre showing relativelyfresh laths of clinopyroxene (titanoaugite) hyalophitically enclosed within a largely fine chloritic matrix (dark grey) which in part may represent recrystallized glass. The bright white grains are interstitial groundmass titanomagnetite, which often displays a skeletal texture. Sample E-7.

Photograph 28 Backscattered electron image of lamprophyre. Magnified portion ofphotograph 27. Lath-like groundmass titanoaugite crystals display weak to moderate carbonatization (paler grey areas within crystals). The laths are set within a darker grey hyalophitic matrix of chlorite, believed to be the alteration product of devitrified glass.

Fine grained titaniferous magnetite (S-10%) occurs interstmally throughout the

groundmass and occasionally forms skeletal grains intergrown with titanaugite. Sphene

(l-4Vo) occurs as very fine (O.02 mm) anhedral to subhedral grains interstitial to

titanaugite. The titanaugite, titaniferous magnetite and sphene are very commonly

hyalophitically (?) enclosed within a matrix of extremely fine grained chlorite (ID-15%),

which may represent areas of devitrified and finely recrystallized glass (Photographs

23,24,27 and 28).

Minor 2-10 mm sized, subrounded to rounded cognate xenoliths of the lamprohyre

are found within the lamprophyre groundmass, suggesting that disaggregation of earlier

crystallized portions of the magma may have occurred during higher level magma

emplacement.

Geochemistry

Microprobe Results - Mineral Geochemistry

Microprobe analyses of phenocryst and groundmass minerals in four polished thin

sections of the lamprophyre were carried out at the University of Western Ontario in

London, Ontario, utilizing the JEQL-8600 Superprobe in the Department of Earth

Sciences. The results are presented in Tables 3-5 and Figures 9-13.

Chlorite microprobe analyses of chloritized euhedral titanaugite phenocrysts and

devitrified chloritic glass in the groundmass are presented in Table 3 and Figure 9. The

chlorite is a moderately magnesian pychnochlorite and is characterized by low contents

of chrome and titanium. The low chrome content of chlorite replacing the pyroxene

suggests that the original pyroxene phenocrysts were themselves very chrome-poor.

The abundant fine sphene grains occurring within the chloritized titanaugite phenocrysts

were likely formed during chloritization, with excess titanium and silica from the

Pyroxene Microprobe Analyses Claim P1190040, Eldorado Twp.

chloritized titanaugite combining with calcium from the chloritizing fluid to form

sphene.

Analyses of selected phenocryst^ amphibole grains are presented in Table 4 and Figures 10-12. The analyses clearly indicate that the amphibole is kaersutite, a

magnesium-rich, calcic amphibole characterized chemically by very high titanium

contents and relatively high alkali (sodium) contents. Kaersutite is a typical constituent of alkaline volcanic and hypabyssal rocks, and occurs as phenocrysts in alkaline olivine basalts and in certain types of lamprophyre dykes (Deer et al, 1972).

Groundmass pyroxenes were analysed from samples E-3, E-4 and E-7. Analytical results are presented in Table 5 and Figure 13. Due to their very high calcium contents, the groundmass pyroxenes all plot as diopside on the En-Wo-Fs classification plot of Morimoto (1989). However, the high titanium contents of most of the pyroxenes analyzed (2.5 - 7.11 wt6Xo TiO2), the elevated aluminum contents (most grains from 3.7 - 7.2 wt0Xo A12O3), the low silica contents of the most TiO2-enriched grains (40 - 45 wt0/^

SiO2) and uniformly very low chrome contents suggest that the groundmass pyroxene is largely titanaugite. The anomalously high wt% CaO contents may be due to weak to moderate carbonatization of the pyroxenes. Groundmass titanaugite crystals occasionally contain irregular to patchy, diffuse cores of diopside. Relative to titanaugite, the diopside cores are higher in silica (50-53 vrt.% SiO2), contain much lower contents of

TiO2 and A1203, and are slightly higher in total iron (Table 5). Titanaugites are the

typical pyroxenes of basic and ultrabasic alkaline rocks, and occur as phenocryst and groundmass phases in certain types of lamprophyres.

Wbole Rock. Trace Element and REE Geochemistry

Three samples of the lamprophyre (E-1, E-4 and E-6) have been analyzed for whole

rock major elements, selected trace elements and rare earth elements. The analytical

results are summarized in Tables l -2 and Figures 4-8. The samples are highly ultrabasic,

with anhydrous normalized SiO2 values ranging from 34.06 to 40.52 wf/o (Table 2, Fig.

4). The low SiO2 contents reflect the very high percentages of mafic minerals

(titanaugite (Si-poor pyroxene), titanomagnetite and lesser olivine) occurring in the rock,

and the virtual absence of higher-silica phases such as quartz and feldspar. Magnesia

contents in the lamprophyre (12-15 wt^o MgO) are, however, slightly low considering the

ultrabasicness of the rock (Figures 7 and 8). Total alkalis (Na2O -i- K2O) are extremely

low ^ l wt07o combined)(Figure 4). with Na2O7K2O ratios always greater than 1. The

low total alkali content is in agreement with the observed mineralogy, as no alkali-

bearing minerals, except for minor phenocrystic kaersutite (Ti-Na amphibole) occur.

The geochemistry of the Eldorado project lamprophyre is broadly similar to that of

alkaline olivine basalts published in the literature (Hyndman, 1972; Wyllie, 1967). The

lamprophyre and alkaline olivine basalts both contain high contents of the major

elements TiO2 and P2O5, and highly elevated contents of the trace elements Zr, V, Nb,

Sr, Ba, Y, La, Ce and lesser Ni and Cr (Figure 5). Both rock types also exhibit very

elevated REE contents and steep negative REE profiles (Figure 6). The lamprophyre is.

however, very low in total alkalis relative to alkaline olivine basalts, substantially lower

in SiO2 and MgO, and higher in MnO and especially CaQ.

Discussion and Conclusions

The Eldorado project lamprophyre is a highly vesiculated, xenocrystic. pyroxerte-

oiivine porphyritic, magnetite-bearing titanaugite pyroxenide intrusion. Broad

geochemical similarities to alkaline olivine basalts suggest that the intrusive body is

petrogenetically related to the alkali-gabbro clan of igneous rocks, even though the

lamprophyre itself contains very low total alkalies. The lamprophyre contains xenoliths

of both the surrounding trondhjemite and Nippising-type quartz diabase, and therefore

intrudes and post-dates the emplacement of these rocks.

The lamprophyre is mineralogically and geochemically similar to the magnetite-

titanaugite pyroxenide (jacupirangite) intrusive bodies occurring along the periphery of

the Late Cretaceous alkaline igneous complex at Magnet Cove in central Arkansas. The

Magnet Cove igneous complex is approximately 2 .miles in diameter and forms a roughly

circular ring dyke complex, with a central core of ijolite and carbonatite, an intermediate

ring of phonolite and an outer ring of nephelene syenite (Hyndman, 1972). Two small

intrusive bodies of jacupirangite, generally less than 0.5 miles in diameter, occur along

the periphery of the ring dyke complex and are cut by dykes of nephelene syenite and

ijolite. Erikson and Blade (1963) have postulated that the jacupirangite intrusive bodies

of the Magnet Cove complex may have formed through a multi-stage differentiation

process as follows;

l. Regional-scale alkaline olivine basalt magma bodies "underplate" the crust.

The magma differentiates, through fractional crystallization of plagioclase, pyroxene and

olivine, to form a mafic-rich phonolite magma.

ST,

2. Differentiation within "satellitic" mafic-rich phonolite magma chambers

occurs through a) crystallization and floating of alkali-bearing pseudoleucite crystals and

b) crystallization and sinking of early formed pyroxenes and magnetite. Process (a)

would effectively remove most of the felsic constituents and some of the volatile

constituents, leaving the residual magma "largely mafic, but with ever increasing

amounts of volatile constituents, P, Ti, Fe3-r,Zr, Nb and rare earths" Erikson and Blade

(1963, p. 88). Process (b) would enrich the residual magma in silica-poor phases such

as titanaugite phenocrysts and magnetite, creating a magma with a more ultrabasic

composition. The gas charged, partially accumulitic residual magmas in the lower

portions of such magma reservoirs were subsequently tapped by early ring dyke

peripheral fractures, and rose within the fractures to form the peripheral jacupirangite

intrusive bodies. The remaining magma in the upper (central) portions of the magma

chambers crystallized as ijolite, with volatile-rich pockets within the upper magma

chambers fracturing the overlying rock and intruding as cross cutting dykes within the

surrounding rock and peripheral jagupirangite bodies.

The highly vesiculated and xenocrystic Eldorado project intrusion may represent a

very high level intrusive phase of a similar, early formed, jacupirangite body, occupying

the very uppermost portions of an underlying alkali-carbonatitic intrusive complex. If

this is true, futber exploration efforts in the area should focus on identification of similar

akali-intrusive related bodies, or their extusive equivalents.
