TB 578151 to TB 578183.

Location and Access

The survey area is located approximately 22 kilometers northeast of

Manitouwadge, Ontario (Figure 1). The claim block consists of 256 contiguous

claims forming a rough rectangle some 1.5 kilometers by 19 kilometers long.

The area is accessible via gravel road maintained by Ontario Paper

Company Limited. Access is excellent with the exception of the southeastern

portion of map sheet 5. This portion was covered by traversing from Ice Lake

which is accessible by float plane.

Ownership

The claims are held by Noranda Mines Limited with Head Offices in

Toronto, Ontario. The claims were staked in two stages with an inner core

of 143 claims staked in May, 1980 and an additional 113 claims in August, 198C.

Nature of Work

This report is submitted by the Geology Department of Noranda Mines

Limited, Geco Division and is a follow-up survey to a Horizontal Loop EM

and magnetometer survey conducted by Noranda Exploration Company between

January to April, 1981. It is the result of work carried out during May to

July, 1981 under the supervision of Mr. R. Friesen, Chief Geologist.

The geological mapping was done by Mr. R. Kusins, a B.Se. graduate of

McMaster University and Mr. J. Campbell, a B.Se. graduate of Acadia University

assisted by Mr. K. Allaty and Mr, F. Fueten, third year students at McMaster

University. All men were employed by Noranda Mines Limited, Geco Division at

the time of the survey.

The survey was run on a grid cut by M. Lampron of Amos, Quebec during

the fall and winter of 1980-81. Approximately 445.5 kilometers of line were

cut and pickets erected at 25 meter intervals. Mapping was carried out along

these lines and all outcrop was tied into this grid system. Five geological

maps covering Area l v;ere prepared at a scale of 1:5000.

Topography

The area covered by the claims consists of low ridges and hills

interspersed between small lakes and swamps. The western half of the

property has been largely cut over with subsequent growth of small trees

and brush. A large portion of map sheet 3 has been reforested with jackpine.

Map sheets 4 and 5 are largely untouched with mature spruce and jackpine

occurring on ridges and occasional eskers in the northern and southern porticus

of these map sheets. A large swamp with stunted trees and little undergrowth

covers the central portion of these map sheets.

Gravel and sand overburden covers the majority of the property but is

most abundant on map sheets 2, 3 and A.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL ROCK TYPES MAPPED IN THIS CLAIM BLOCK(No Order Implied)

Granite - A medium grained, equigranular, felsic intrusive rock with a

poorly developed foliation often present. It often takes on a migmatitic

appearance and may have been formed by the in situ melting of the surrounding

rock types. The dominant minerals are quartz, plagioclase, potash feldspar

and lesser biotite. Magnetite is a common accessory mineral and may comprise

up to 57, of the rock.

Pegmatite - A coarse grained, white to pink, felsic intrusive rock. The

dominant minerals are potash feldspar, plagioclase and quartz with lesser

amounts of biotite.

Diabase - A fine to medium grained, equigranular, mafic intrusive with

approximately equal amounts of pyroxene, amphibole and plagioclase. Pyrite

is a common accessory mineral usually found in trace to minor amounts.

Quartz-Feldspar-Biotite Gneiss - A fine to medium grained, tan to gossan

coloured rock in outcrop with a well developed foliation. It is typically

comprised of quartz, plagioclase and potash feldspar with up to 2C7o biotite.

Garnets are occasionally found and may comprise up to 307. of the rock.

Granitized equivalents are very common and usually contain magnetite.

Biotitic Quartzite - A well banded, fine to medium grained, grey to white

coloured rock. It is comprised of quartz with lesser^ amounts of plagioclase,

potash feldspar and biotite; minor magnetite is a common accessory.

Quartz-Feldspar Gneiss - A grey to white, fine to medium grained rock with

a well developed foliation. It is intermediate between the quartz-feldspar-

biotite gneiss and biotitic quartzite containing near equal amounts of

quartz and plagioclase with usually about 107. biotite.

- 3 -

Hornblende-Biotite Gneiss - A medium grained, black coloured rock with a

well developed foliation. The major constituents of this rock are hornblende,

biotite and plagioclase with subordinate quartz. Granitized equivalents of this

rock type are common and tend to be enriched in plagioclase and potash

feldspar with a corresponding drop in hornblende and biotite content.

GEOLOGICAL OVERVIEW

Two major units cover the majority of Area 1. From north to south

these are a metasedimentary unit (Grey Gneiss Group) and a metavolcanic unit

(Hornblende Schist Group). These two groups are the eastward extension of

the Mine Series which hosts the Geco and Willroy orebodies. Missing fron

the Mine Series in Area l are rock types belonging to the Granite Gneiss

Group, an altered metavolcanic unit which may have become too thin to be

outlined in outcrop. A third, poorly exposed sequence of metavolcanic and

metasedimentary migmatites'outcrops along the northern portion of maps l to 2.

This sequence has been named the Migmatite Group for the convenience of this

report. Although often covered by overburden along their length, these groups

have been extended across the survey area with the aid of the magnetometer

survey. The groups are commonly granitized and have been intruded by

numerous intrusives, namely granite, pegmatite and diabase.

The Migmatite Group consists of two members which from north to south are:

1) Metasedimentary migmatite and 2) Hornblende-biotite gneiss. The

metasedimentary migmatite member is comprised of quartz-feldspar-biotite

gneiss which have been granitized. These granitized rocks may contain

magnetite particularly on map sheet 3. The hornblende-biotite gneiss member

is best exposed on map sheet l and is comprised of hornblende-biotite

gneiss, hornblende schist and quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss. Interbedding

of this member with quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss and the lack of outcrop

exposure does not allow this unit to be outlined on sheets 2 and 3. A zone

of garnetiferous quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss occurs at the contact

between the two members on map sheet 1. The narrow magnetic high signature

over this zone and the association of this rock type with iron formation

elsewhere suggests that this horizon may be a poorly developed iron formation.

Outcrops of garnetiferous quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss and poorly developed., . . formation

siliceous ironAContaining magnetite within this group may represent a

similar type of horizon on map sheet 3.

The Grey Gneiss Group can be subdivided into four mapable members which

may occur in different stratigraphic positions. The typical section from

north to south is comprised of 1) Granitized metasediment with magnetite,

Page 5: NORANDA MINES LIMITED (GECO DIVISION) ASSESSMENT …...The claims are held by Noranda Mines Limited with Head Offices in Toronto, Ontario. The claims were staked in two stages with

- 4 -

2) Garnetiferous metasediment, 3) Siliceous metasediment and 4) Interbedded

metasediment and metavolcanic. Interbedding and granitization of rock types

representative of the members was common.

The granitized metasediment with magnetite member extends from map l

to map 4, where it eventually trends north of the grid. On map sheet l this

member consists of quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss and biotitic quartzite

which has been granitized to produce a metasedimentary migmatite containing

minor to 17, magnetite. Outcrop exposures of this member become more

granitized from the eastern half of map sheet l to map sheet 4. In this

area the dominant rock type is a granitic migmatite containing magnetite

with occasional remnants of quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss and hornblende-

biotite gneiss.

The garnetiferous metasediment member is found to extend across the

central portions of maps l and 3. This horizon is poorly exposed with

outcrop restricted to limited areas on maps 1,3 and 4. The zone is found

to consist of quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss, biotitic quartzite and iron

formation, all of which may be garnetiferous. Siliceous iron formation is

found exposed in the western section of map sheet 4 and contains 2-37. pyrite,

pyrrhotite and magnetite. Drilling in the vicinity of L119E/103+OON by

Marlhill Mines Limited in 1958 intersected two zones of iron formation

within this member. The exact location of this drilling was not determined

by the present survey. Similar drill results were obtained by Falconbridge

Nickel Mines Limited in 1965 on this horizon in the vicinity of

L225E/203+25N. Seventy-five meters to the east of this station, a cache

of core was located as well as the drill casing for hole number 1-3.

The siliceous metasediment member can be extended across maps 3 and 4,

although little outcrop information is available from map sheet 3. This

member contains a wide range of rock types including biotitic quartzite,

quartz-feldspar gneiss, quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss and hornblende-

biotite gneiss. Interbedding of these rock types creates problems in

outlining this unit for any distance. The unit is best developed about

the eastern edge of map sheet 3 becoming less siliceous and more difficult

to outline towards map sheets 2 and 5. In places, this siliceous

metasedimentary horizon contains rocks which may be felsic metavolcanics.

The interbedded metasediment and metavolcanic member extends across

the full width of Area l, occurring in r.he central, portion of the map

sheets. On maps l and 2 the member forms a single horizon, while on

sheets 3 to 5 thickening of the siliceous and garnetiferous metasedimentary

horizons has resulted in the splitting of the unit into two horizons.

Typically the member is comprised of quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss and

biotite-hornblende gneiss which locally may be granitized.

The Hornblende Schist Group outcropping along the southern section of Area l

has not been subdivided into members. The unit is quite extensive with only

the northern portion of the group exposed on Area 1. In the map area it is

typically comprised of a metavolcanic migmatite often containing remnants of

hornblende-biotite gneiss and hornblende schist. Occasional outcrops of

quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss may also occur within this group.

Intrusives were commonly observed on the claim block. Granite and granite

migmatites were very common and appear to be the product of regional

granitization of the surrounding metasedirnents and metavolcanics. Remnants

of the parent material were usually found within the granite and a poor

foliation was often preserved. Intrusive contacts were not generally

observed although zones of granitization were outlined. Outcrops of granite

of intrusive origin were observed in the northeastern corner of map sheet 5.

Pegmatites showed a wide range in width from a few inches to outcrop

size. Their erratic nature and often limited size did not allow individual

pegmatites to be traced for any distance on this scale of mapping.

Diabase dikes were commonly found in the map area. The three major

trends are north, northeast and northwest. These trends were coincident

with the major fault trends for the map sheets. The dikes occasionally had

a magnetic response often occurring as isolated highs or cross-cutting trends

on the magnetometer survey maps. This feature was useful in extending contacts

between isolated outcrops of diabase.

GEOLOGY OF AREA l

Map Sheet l

The Migmatite, Grey Gneiss and Hornblende Schist Groups are exposed

on this map sheet, trend easterly, with dips of approximately 60 S. Increased

granitization of these groups has occurred towards the eastern portion of

the sheet.

In addition to the garnetiferous metasediment horizon containing

Anomalies lA and B as well as the zone in the Migmatite Group, a lesser zone

is exposed on L107+OOE along the contact between the Grey Gneiss and

Hornblende Schist Groups. This lesser zone may represent a poorly developed,

iron formation horizon similar to those found along this contact about the

Manitouwadge Syncline.

An outcrop of biotite-anthophyllite gneiss at L111E/106+50N may

possibly be the extension of the Granite Gneiss Group into Area l, although

additional rock types typical of this group were not located.

Map Sheet 2

A continuation of the major groups extends onto map sheet 2 from

sheet l, although the metavolcanic member of the Migmatite Group and the

garnetiferous metasediment member of the Grey Gneiss Group have pinched out.

Outcrop is sparse with the majority of outcrop found on the eastern half of

the sheet. In this area a number of felsic outcrops of quartz-feldspar

gneiss and biotitic quartzite form a siliceous member within the Grey Gneiss

Group. Foliation is easterly trending with dips of about 70 S. No

mineralization or geophysical anomalies were located on this map sheet.

Map Sheet 3

The Migmatite Group is exposed along the northern edge of the map

trending beyond the grid in the eastern portion of the map sheet. Outcrops

of garnetiferous metasediment and poorly developed siliceous iron formation

indicative of an iron formation horizon were located within the group

although no geophysical responses were detected in these areas.

The Grey Gneiss Group is poorly exposed with gravel overburden

covering the central portion of the sheet. Outcrop is limited to the

extreme eastern portion of the map and along the contact with the Migmatite

Group. A string of EM conductors occurs within the garnetiferous metasediment

menber, the most significant being Anomaly 3B. This anomaly has been tested

with 8 holes by Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited which outlined two zones

of pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization within iron formation. An outcrop

of weakly mineralized, garnetiferous iron formation was located within this

member at L246E/205+60N.

Foliations trend easterly with dips overall being somewhat flatter

than observed on sheets l and 2. A number of fold features are evident. A

Z-shaped drag fold has warped the Grey Gneiss-Hornblende Schist contact in

the southeastern part of the map sheet.

Shallow southerly to shallow northerly dips along the edge of the

sheet may represent an easterly trending, anticlinal fold axis.

Map Sheet 4

The Migmatite Group and the granitized metasediment member of the

Grey Gneiss Group are not outlined on the remaining map sheets due to their

trend which have extended the units to the north of the grid. The garnetiferous

metasediment horizon of the Grey Gneiss Group has been extended across the

Page 8: NORANDA MINES LIMITED (GECO DIVISION) ASSESSMENT …...The claims are held by Noranda Mines Limited with Head Offices in Toronto, Ontario. The claims were staked in two stages with

- 7 -

western half of the map until poor outcrop exposure and poor magnetic

signature did not allow the unit to be outlined. An outcrop of siliceous

iron formation was located between lines 305E and 306E at 305+25N within

this member and anomaly 4B may represent a conductive extension of this zone.

The siliceous metasediment member has become interbedded with quartz-

feldspar-biotite gneiss creating problems in outlining this unit. This

member appears to have pulled away from its contact with the garnetiferous

metasediment member and a zone of quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss now

separates the two units. A minor zone of garnetiferous metasediment occurs

within this member in the vicinity of L312E/300+OON and anomaly 4C. This

zone has been folded into a Z-shaped drag fold having a northeasterly trending

fold axis.

Anomalies 4A, D, E and F occur in the interbedded metavolcanic and

metasediment member of the Grey Gneiss Group in close proximity to the

Hornblende Schist contact. Little outcrop information is available in these

areas.

The Hornblende Schist Group is extensively granitized with pegmatite

intrusions being common. A broad z-shaped drag fold is outlined by the Grey

Gneiss-Hornblende Schist contact in the eastern portion of the map sheet.

Foliations on this map are generally easterly trending with dips

ranging from 70 S to locally horizontal. Dips for the most part continue to

show a shallowing from map sheet 3.

Map Sheet 5

The Grey Gneiss Group largely consists of quartz-feldspar-biotite

gneiss in various degrees of granitization. Occasional outcrops of

siliceous metasediments occurs in the northern portion of the map sheet,

but extensive interbedding of rock types makes the separation of the group

into members somewhat questionable.

The Hornblende Schist Group covers the southern half of the sheet

and is comprised of metavolcanic migmatites.

Dips where located, were variable ranging from 80 to near horizontal

and generally maintained a southerly attitude. Foliations were usually

easterly trending. No mineralization or geophysical anomalies were located

on this map sheet.

Conclusions and Recommendations

No economic mineralization was located during the present survey.

Mineralization that was encountered consisted of pyrite, pyrrhotite and

magnetite often contained within iron formation. Two major zones of

garnetiferous metasediment were outlined which host anomalies 1A, IB, 3A,

AB and a string of lesser anomalies. These zones are intimately associated

vrith iron formation horizons, with the anomalies detected representing

local accumulations of conductive sulfides. A detailed drill program should

be carried out on these zones with the objective of systematically testing

the horizon as well as the anomalies detected.

Anomaly AC is situated in close proximity to a diabase dike and has a

similar orientation. The anomaly may be caused by a zone of remobilized

sulfides along the diabase contact as it passed through an iron formation.

A closer examination is required before recommendations can be made on this

anomaly.

Anomalies AA, 4D, AE and AF are located adjacent to the contact between

the Hornblende Schist and Grey Gneiss Groups. Limited outcrop information is

available in these areas and drilling of the anomalies is suggested in

determining their economic potential.
