A rjenlorjical survey was cnmpletnr! riurin:j the simmer of 1969.
GEOLOGY CIF THE PROPERTY
ThR Dame Grrup is underlain hy a sequence of felsic to
intermedia tt; volcanic racks with intercalated mafic volcanic rocks.
The iiJOKt pr:rt nf the property is underlain by metasedimentary rocks
of vu 1. anicla r;tic origin.
The rocks face oiest and ^enerally have north strikes and
vertical dips.
Faulting occurs in northerly and northeasterly strike
directions.
RESULTS [;F THE SURVEY
The results nf the magnetometer survey are presented on the
attc'cht.'d map. It should be noted that a constant value of 33DO
y;;mn r,r; ^nc added tu the magnetometer survey results in order to
tie them in tu pruvitus survey work done on the Stuain Group immediately
to Vie north cif th-: Dome araup.
The magnetic relief on the property is approximately 6700
y r. mm;., r; uit'; n junt.-rnl b:ickyraund of A100 to ^20C gammas. The
irvynetic relief is nccounteri for hy local, linear, magnetic highs
and IOLJS.
There is nu correlation of the magnetic data and the rock
types kncjun tn underlie the property, however, there is a general
correlation between the trends cf the magnetic contours and the
stratigraphic trends inferred as a result of the geological mapping.
A comparison nf the results nf the magnetometer survey uiith the
interpretation nf the gealcgical map substantiates a number of the

fnultc: in"L:r"f'r a 1 ; t he .junlc.'gical map
The magnetometer survey has indicated that no major areas
of t h, E; property arc underlain by rocks of above average magnetic
susceptihi]ity.
The linear, north trending magnetic high near the baseline
bet'x'M.'n lines 6H G and 76 S parallels the conductor outlined during
the JEM Survey. The conductor lies along the ujest flank of the
niagnetlu anomaly. This magnetic effect may be due to disseminated
pyrrhotite. Borne pyrrhotite was intersected in drilling by Dome
Explcrntiun in the area of the conductor.

A yeo! LKjiccj] survey uas completed during the summer of 1969,
GEOLOGY CF THE PROPERTY
The Dome rirnup is underlain by a sequence of felsic to
iriterruciintij volcanic rocks uith intercalated myfic volcanic rocks.
The utist p:i' L uf t li e ^rup^rty is underlain by metasedimentary rocks

RESULTS DF THE SURVEY
Tuio conductors uere picked up during the present survey.
CGiMOUCTLR A
The rru-in cur.ductor coincides uiith the zone drilled by Dome
Minrs Limitt-'d.
Trie conductive zone uas picked up on lines 60S, 6**S, 68S,
find 72S.
Cn line 6QS one excellent conductor having an east dip
uias indicated. The di;: angles indicate that the conductive zone is
very near surface. A second conductor may occur 2DO fe^t west of
the main conductor on line 60S.
A uieak conductor uas picked up on line 6^5. This may
indicate that the main conductive zone on line 60S plunges steeply
south or it may correlate udth the ueak conductor indicated on line
60S.
3
A yoatl cunductor (la/hi = .7) uas picked up weakly on line
60S.
A good conductor (lo/hi ^ .7) uas picked up on line 72S.
The; dept ; to the top of the conductor is of the order of 50 to
75
CL'WDUCTHR 3
A single line conductor was picked up on line 2DS at
1*1 + 50 L. Moderate conductivity i s i ndicated by the lo/hi ratios
(.5). The conductor could be due to disseminated sulphides.
A conductive zone (Conductor A) having a northerly strike
hi s hnr:n outlined between lines 60S and 72S. The zone is probably
offrvjt by e1 northeast striking fault between lines 6**S- and 68S.
The zone is further complicated by the fact that it may consist of a
number of parallel conductors. A second complicating factor may be
that the zune plunger steeply to the south.
There is a magnetic anomaly that displays a general correlation
uitn the JCM anomaly.
On the basis of the present study it is concluded that
the drilling by Dome exploration (Holes 7 and 18) overshot the main
part of Conductor A. The west part of the anomalous z one p icked up
on Line fJOS may be explained by the pyrite and pyrrhotite intersected
in Hole No. 7 at 112' - 12V and 134' - US'.
It is recommended that Conductor A be further checked out
uith a McPhar 1000/5000 or Crone UEM unit prior to drilling. A
- k -
penetrating electromagnetic unit should yiv/e a better under-
;.] of the nature of the anomalous zone.

INTRODUCTION saNe7SE987* 63.2597 HONEYWELL 030
During the period August 20 to August 29, 1969, a programme
of geologic mapping uaa carried out on the Dome Group of Uanco
Explorations (Dnt.) Limited, 601-1155 Dorchester Blvd., Montreal,
Quebec by Shield Geophysics Limited, Timmins, Ontario,
F'.T. George, W. Graves, and M, Hlava were responsible for
the technical aspects of the programme.
The "O" Line of the south grid of the Swain Group, which
lies immediately north of the Dome Group, was extended fi**DC feet
south and uias used as the baseline for the grid on the Dome Group.
Lines were established at **QQ foot intervals.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The property ie located in the outbhpaat of the Shabumeni
Area and the north pert of honeywell Township, Red Lake Mining
Division. Access to the property is via float or ski equipped air
craft from Red Lake to Swain Lake, a distance of approximately 50
air miles. Bunin Lake ie approximately one mile north of the centra
of the Dome Group.
PRLVUHJS WORK
Parts of the property have been held previously by Gunnex
and Dome Mines Limited. Dome Mines have recorded two drill holes
uiith the Department of Mines. These holes have been located in the
field and are plotted on the accompanying geological map relative to
the present grid and the Dome Mines grid. Nothing was apparent in
the drill logs that would explain all of the electromagnetic conductors
adequately. Gunnex has done some work in the area of claim 57717.
The work included geologic mapping, an IP survey, and diamond drilling.
- 2 -
No mineralization of economic significance was encountered
during the Gunnex and Dome programmes.
TOPOGRAPHY
The local relief on the Dome Group is approximately 150
feat. Out crop is plentiful but exposures are poor due to moss cover
and lichen growth. The ridges have Jack pine and spruce growth,
whereas the valleys are in general spruce and alder swamps.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Dome Group ia underlain by Archean metavolcanic and
metasedimentary rocks of the Birch - Uchi Lake volcanic complex
(Goodwin 196*0. The volcanic rocka underlying the property ere
dominantly felsic to intermediate in composition with some inter
calated mafic volcanic flows. The west part of the property le under
lain by sedimentary rocka of volcaniclastic origin. No intrusive
rocke were mapped on the property.
GEOLOGY OF THE DOME GROUP
FELSIC METAVOLCANIC
The majority of the eouth part of the property le under
lain by felsic volcanic rocks ranging in composition from rhyolite
to rhyodacite. The rocks are in general fine grained to aphanitic,
massive, and vary in colour from light grey to light grey-green.
Pillowed, agglomeratic, brecciated, and tuffaceous facies increase
in quantity towards the north and west central part of the property.
Epidote alteration occurs primarily in pillowed and brecciated
zones within the stratigraphic sequence. Carbonate alteration appears
to be related to inferred zones of faulting.
- 3 -
INTLRKtDIATE TO MAFIC MET AVOLCANIC ROCKS
The north sector of the property is underlain primarily
by rocks of dacitic to andeaitic composition. The rocks ara in
general fine grained, grey-green, and massive to slightly schistose*
Borne pillowed, brecciated, and tuffaceous zones occur within the
stratigraphic section.
Epidote and carbonate alteration occur primarily in pillowed
and brecciated zones.
KAFJC METAVOLCANIC ROCKS
A feu zones of mafic metavolcanic rocks were mappad within
the felsic to intermediate volcanic sequence. The rocks ara fins
grained, chloritic and generally massive* A feu zones of vesicular,
pillowed andesites were mapped.
A sequence of mafic matevolcanic rocks underlies the south
west to west central part of the property.
METAiaEDIMENTAHY ROCKS
The most westerly part of the property le underlain by
metacanglumeratea of volcaniclastic origin. Pebblea of felsic
volcanic and cherty material occur in a dark grey green chloritic
matrix. The rocks are intensely sheared and the pebbles are commonly
elongate parallel to the schistosity. Top determinations made in
these rocks on the Swain Group immediately to the west of the Dome
Group indicates tops to the west. The contact between the meta-
sedimentBry and metavolanic rocks Is not exposed but is believed
by the writer to be either a major fault zone or an angular unconformity.
- k -STRUCTURAL GEDLDGY
(Jn the basis of a limited number of strikes on elongate
pillows and the trend of magnetic and electromagnetic survey date,
yeologic contacts have been inferred on the accompanying geological
map. The rocks have northerly strikes, near vertical dips and face
to the wast. In the north sector of the property the strike trend
changes to a northeasterly to westerly direction.
Inferred stratigraphic trends in the metavolcanic and
metasedimentary rocks are discordant and the contact between the
two rock types IB inferred to be either a fault zone or an angular
unconformity*
FAULTING:
Two atrike directions of faulting, north and northeast,
have been inferred on the property. The inferred faults ara based
on observed zones of fault gouge and breccia, carbonate alteration
and photo lineara.
On the basis of the work completed on the Swain Group it
would appear that the faults having northerly strikes offset the
faults having northeasterly strike trends.
A major zone of faulting follows a north trending valley
through the central part of the property. Shearing, fault gouge
and fault breccia ware observed at various places along this zona.
(Jn the basis of exposures on Line 2k E it would appear that the
fault dips approximately 60" to the east. This dip would account
for the arcuate trace of the fault on the airphotographs. The fact
that the volcanic-sedimentary rock contact underlying the west part
of the property is parallel to this fault zone favours the theory
. 5 -
that the contact zone ia a fault rather than en unconformity.
ECONOMIC GEOLOGY
No indications of mineralization of economic significance
were seen during the geological mapping programme with the exception
of the showings on claim 57717, Sulphide mineralization occurs in
brecciated and epidote altered rhyodacite. The principal sulphides
are pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite.
Pyrite and pyrrhotite were intersected in Dome Explorations
drill hole number 7.
CDNCLUSIDNS
The results of the geological survey have not indicated
any mineralization of economic significance on the property. The
geology uf the property is complex and any gaophyaically anomalous
zones should be checked out carefully.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that a complete analysis of all available
geophysical and gRochemical data be made prior to expending any
further work on this property.
