SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Geophysical surveys have been completed over most of the
Ben Nevis property of Regal Goldfields Limited. Geological
mapping of 17 of the 35 claims was done before snowfall obscured
the outcrops. The surveys indicated four separate targets which
were diamond drilled by N. Morissette Canada Inc. of Haileybury,
Ontario. A total of 2008 lineal feet of NQ core was drilled in
five holes.
The best gold assay values returned from the core samples
taken included 0.688 g/t, 0.249 g/t, and 0.232 g/t, from an area
showing a magnetic anomaly with approximately 5?; pyrite mineral
ization (Diamond drill holes #2 and #3). Silicification,
carbonatization, quartz-carbonate veining, and zones of shearing
were observed in the core from all holes. These features
indicate conditions favourable for gold and for base metal
mineralization.
Further exploration of the property is recommended. The
suggested work program is designed to test for base and precious
metal bearing shear zones similar to those being explored on the
claims adjoining to the north. This work can be done most
effectively during the summer months.
Special attention should be paid to the most northwesterly
claims since the structure that hosts the most important
mineralized zones on the adjoining property strikes southwest
from Ranger Lake toward the north end of Pushkin Lake. Any
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8t ASSOCIATES LTD.
extension of that favourable zone would likely pass through
claims L-1015656, L-1015657, and L-1015658.
The cost of the recommended exploration program is
estimated at $46 639.00.

INTRODUCTION
In November, 1988, Regal Goldfields Limited acquired a
group of thirty-five mining claims in Ben Nevis Township, Larder
Lake Mining Division, Ontario. A base line was established
across the property in a northwest-southeast direction (azimuth
320 0 ), with profile lines cut every 100m. Stations were estab
lished at 25m intervals along the profiles.
Geological mapping of the property commenced on November 24
and continued until snow cover became too deep on November
29. Detailed geophysical surveys were then performed over most
of the property, finishing on December 13. This involved a
magnetic survey and a VLF-EM survey using an IGS-2 system
manufactured by Scintrex of Concord, Ontario. Claims L-1015655
and L-1015656 in the northwestern corner of the property were
not gridded nor surveyed. However, parts of these claims were
included in a ground electromagnetic survey by the Duvan Copper
Company Limited in 1964.
The geophysical surveys outlined several anomalies on the
property. Four of these targets were diamond drilled by N.
Morissette Canada Inc. of Haileybury, Ontario. A total of 2008
feet of NQ drilling in five separate holes was done between
December 19 and 31, 1988.
The work discussed in this report was completed at the end
of December, 1988. Maps with magnetic and electromagnetic data
as well as logs and sections of diamond drill holes are included
in the appendix.
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8c ASSOCIATES LTD.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The property consists of a group of thirty-five mining
claims located in southeastern Ben Nevis Township, Larder Lake
Mining Division, Ontario.
The claims are situated approximately 25km north of Larder
Lake Station, 34km northeast of Kirkland Lake, Ontario and 48km
west of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Co-ordinates for the property
are:
48 0 17' 00"N; 79 0 40' 00"W
The Ben Nevis property can be reached by following a
gravel-surfaced forest access road for 25km north of Larder Lake
Station, which is 2.8km north of Highway 66 along the Larder
Lake Station Road. Station Road is 1km east of the town of
Larder Lake, Ontario. The forest access road is not maintained
in winter and is thus restricted to snow machines or four-wheel
drive vehicles during those months. It is easily passable by
two-wheel drive vehicles during dry weather.
Larder Lake can be reached by taking Highway 11 north from
Toronto, through North Bay to Englehart. From Englehart,
Highway 624 is followed for 44km to the town.
An Ontario Northland railway line passes 25km to the south
of the property at Larder Lake Station. Daily air service to\
other major centers is available in both Kirkland Lake and
Rouyn-Noranda.
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8c ASSOCIATES LTD.
CLIMATE, TOPOGRAPHY, AND LOCAL RESOURCES
The area has warm summers and cold, relatively dry winters.
Summer maximum temperatures in the 30 0 C range are not uncommon
during July and August, as are winter minimums of -40 0 C during
December, January and February.
Total annual snowfall amounts to between one and two
meters, usually covering the ground from mid-November to April.
The Ben Nevis claim group covers moderately rolling ground,
with average relief of less than 15m. Several outcroppings of
bedrock rise abruptly through the glacial sands and gravels to
produce relief of over 60m. The central part of the property
has an elevation of 330m above sea level, while that of the
northeast corner of the property exceeds 380m above sea level.
Several small lakes are included, at least in part, within
the property boundaries. Pushkin Lake in the northwestern cor
ner and Captain Lake in the northeastern corner are each approx
imately 25ha in area, while Sylvia Lake in the southwestern
corner of the claim group is approximately 20ha.
Drainage from Pushkin Lake is initially into the Misema
River, while captain Lake and Sylvia Lake drain first into the
Little Misema River before reaching the Misema. From the Misema
River, drainage is to Blanche Creek, Lake Timiskaming, and the
Ottawa River.
While all water on the Regal Goldfields Limited property
eventually drains southward, water only 1km north of the
JAMES E. TILSLEY ft ASSOCIATES LTD.
property is on the other side of the Arctic drainage divide and
flows northward via the Magusi and Abitibi Rivers into James
Bay.
Mining equipment, supplies, and services are available in
the nearby mining towns of Kirkland Lake, Cobalt, and Rouyn-
Noranda. Skilled labour is readily available in Kirkland Lake
and the surrounding area.
A small medical center is located in Larder Lake, while
hospital facilities are available in Kirkland Lake and Rouyn-
Noranda.
Industrial power and telecommunications facilities
parallel the railway line 25km south of the property.
A substantial part of the property has been logged and is
now dominated by second growth birch, poplar, and assorted
deciduous shrubs. Mature spruce and a few other conifers cover
the remainder of the claim group. All accessible merchantable
timber has been removed from the property.
PROPERTY
The property consists of thirty-five mining claims located
in southeastern Ben Nevis Township. The claims were staked by
Ron Crichton of Kirkland Lake for Thomas Obradovich and are
under option to the company.
The individual claims are on record at the Mining
JAMES E. TILSLEY ft ASSOCIATES LTD.
Recorder's office in Kirkland Lake. Claim numbers are:
L-1015655 to L-1015689, inclusive.
SURFACE RIGHTS
The claims cover Crown Land and include only mineral
rights.
HISTORY
Larder Lake has a long history of prospecting and mine
development dating back to 1906 when it was the site of the
first gold rush in northeastern Ontario. The Kerr-Addison Gold
Mine, still in production today, was the first of several mines
in the Larder Lake area and began preliminary work in 1906. All
the other workings have since ceased operation.
Prospecting activity began in Ben Nevis Township soon after
gold was found in Larder Lake. Gledhill's 1928 study included
several observations of mineralization. Copper, molybdenum, and
gold were discovered in small amounts south and southeast of the
Clifford Stock (approximately 8km west of the Regal Goldfields
Limited property) by Captain Snipe and J. Bain (Jensen, 1975).
Copper, lead, zinc, and gold were found west of the
Clifford stock by E. O. Ehrhart and J. Martin, while copper,
lead, zinc, gold, and silver were found by P.- Roche and E. O.
Ehrhart approximately 2km north of the property (Jensen, 1975).

Three exploratory shafts were sunk on this latter prospect
between 1927 and 1929 by the Interprovincial Exploration Company
Limited. In 1936, the property was acquired by Canagau Mines
Limited, with dewatering and sampling commencing in 1937. Later
years saw several attempts to outline further extensions of the
mineralization. Electromagnetic and magnetometer surveys
covered the area in 1960, while a bulldozer was used to strip
the overburden in 1962.
Several other properties in Ben Nevis Township are known to
have overgrown pits and trenches near zones of minor
mineralization, but to date no production has occurred in the
township. (Jensen, 1975)
Parts of the two claims in the northwest corner of the
Regal Goldfields Limited property {L-1015655 and L-1015656) were
held by the Duvan Copper Company Limited in 1964. Magnetometer
and electromagnetic surveys were completed, but no anomalous
conditions were reported.
Cominco Ltd. filed an airborne electromagnetic survey flown
by Scintrex in 1971 which included that part of the property
north of an east-west line that passes through the outlet of
Captain Lake. This survey showed the peak of an anomaly in
claim L-1015658 just east of the access road at approximately
L900E/300N.
In 1979, an airborne electromagnetic and total intensity
magnetic survey was flown over Ben Nevis Township by Questor
JAMES E. TILSLEY ft ASSOCIATES LTD.
Surveys Limited of Toronto, Ontario for the Ontario Geological
Survey. Flight lines were north-south, while the airborne
survey done for Cominco in 1971 had flight lines which were
oriented at 280 0 . The electromagnetic anomaly indicated
by the 1971 survey was not detected in the 1979 O.G.S.-sponsored
survey.
Finally, on November 7 of 1988, Westbank Resources reported
in the Northern Miner that it had discovered a polymetallic
showing in Ben Nevis Township immediately north of the Regal
Goldfields Limited property. Sampling was reported to have
yielded the following assays of lead, zinc, gold, and silver in
silicified shear zones:
Sample l - 11.^ Zn, 1.0 oz/ton Ag, 0.036 oz/ton Au, tr. Pb. Sample 2 - nil Zn, 7.3 oz/ton Ag, 0.83 oz/ton Au, 0.0 Pb. Sample 3 - tr. Zn, 6.0 oz/ton Ag, 0.632 oz/ton Au, tr. Pb.

GENERAL GEOLOGY
The geology of the Ben Nevis Township area was first
investigated in 1901 by W. J. Wilson who examined the rocks
along the canoe route from Kennedy Lake to Verna, Keith, and
Webster Lakes (published in Western Part of the Abitibi Region;
P.117A-130A in Summary Report, pt.A, Geol. Surv. Canada, p.271,
Vol. XIV.). After nearly 20 years of prospecting activity,
another study was done by C. W. Knight in 1919. (Ben Nevis Gold
Area; Ontario Dept. Mines, Vol. 29, pt. 3, p.1-27.).
Reconnaissance mapping continued in 1927 as part of a study
of several Ontario base metal areas by T. L. Gledhill. (Ben
Nevis, Munro, Kamiskotia, and Other Base Metal Areas, Districts
of Cochrane and Timiskaming; Ontario Dept. Mines, Vol. 37, pt.3,
p. 1-52).
A detailed study on the geology of the area was done by
L. S. Jensen of the Ontario Division of Mines, published in
1975 (Geology of Clifford and Ben Nevis Townships, District of
Cochrane; Ontario Div, Mines, GR132.). Geochemical exploration
in the township was completed in 1977 by W. J. Wolfe (Geochem
ical Exploration of Early Precambrian Sulphide Mineralization in
Ben Nevis Township, District of Cochrane; Ontario Geological
Survey Study 19). Several samples with anomalous values of
both zinc and copper were collected on the Regal Goldfields
Limited property in the area south of Captain Lake.

JAMES E. TILSLEY ft ASSOCIATES LTD.
Jensen, (1975) stated that Ben Nevis Township is favourable
for precious and base metal exploration because of its proximity
to two economically important structures, namely the Destor-
Porcupine Fault to the north and the Larder Lake Fault approx
imately 25km to the south. Secondly, the township is situated
in a belt of volcanic rock contiguous with that of the Noranda
area in Quebec.
Regal Goldfields Limited's Ben Nevis property is underlain
by rocks of the Abitibi belt, an Archean aged greenstone belt
which extends from west of Timmins, Ontario, to east of
Chibougamau, Quebec. The rocks are Early Precambrian layered
volcanics of intermediate to felsic composition, with a few
interbedded sedimentary rocks.
Low-grade regional metamorphism has affected the bedrock of
the Ben Nevis area.
The township was glaciated during Pleistocene time and is
covered by till and glacial outwash deposits through which
bedrock is exposed. Several sand and gravel deposits have been
utilized for local road construction, including one at
L2000E/700S.

MINERALIZATION
In exploration activity since 1906, galena, sphalerite,
chalcopyrite, silver, and gold mineralization have been noted in
Ben Nevis Township,
The showing which has received the most attention over the
years is a prospect in east-central Ben Nevis Township,
approximately 3km north of the Regal Goldfields Limited
property. Originally staked by Peter Roche in 1926, develop
ment work has in later years been carried out by the Inter-
provincial Exploration Company and Canagau Mines Limited. This
prospect is found to be closely associated with strongly
foliated, carbonitized, and sericitized rhyolite tuff, tuff-
breccia and lapilli tuff of the lower rhyolite pyroclastic unit.
Mineralization is near the hinge-line of an anticlinal
structure which plunges south. The core of this structure is
occupied by the structurally thickened lower rhyolite
pyroclastic unit. Sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, pyrite,
pyrrhotite, silver, and gold occur in veins or massive
replacements in shear zones within altered rhyolite tuff, or as
disseminated minerals in adjacent sheared tuff. Alteration
products in the mineralized tuff include sericite, chlorite,
talc, and carbonate. Surface and underground work suggest that
the vein strikes east for 120m with a proven vertical depth of
99m, although it appears to be more accurately represented by a
vein stockwork rather than a single vein (Wolfe, 1977).

PRODUCTION
There has been no production of metallic minerals from the
Ben Nevis property of Regal Goldfields Limited, although gravel
has been mined for local road construction.
RESERVES
There are no known metallic mineral reserves on the
property.

GEOLOGY AND DIAMOND DRILLING
The geology of the Regal Goldfields Limited property was
mapped in part by R. Mueller between November 24 and 29, 1988.
The following claims were covered before the survey was term
inated for the season because of snow:
L-1015657 L-1015678L-1015662 L-1015679L-1015664 L-1015682L-1015669 L-1015683L-1015673 L-1015684L-1015674 L-1015688
L-1015689
Most of the property is underlain by Archean age volcanic
rocks of intermediate to felsic composition. Intermediate
volcanics underlie much of the central part of the claim group.
These include massive and pillowed flows of andesite and dacite,
as well as some flow breccia and tuff. Massive units are homo
geneous and grade upwards into pillowed flow units at the upper
and lower contacts of the lava flows. Pillows are found to be
elliptical and between 30cm and 60cm in diameter, with smooth
curvatures and bottoms with tails pointed downward, perpen
dicular to their long axes. These have been noted at
L1800E/900N in claim L-1015669, where light-coloured pillows are
surrounded by dark green selveges between lcm and 3cm thick.
Selveges are soft and weather deeper than the pillow.
Flow breccia contains fragments which are similar in
composition and colour to the matrix, with approximately 15*
subangular to subrounded fragments between lcm and 30cm in size.
14
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8e ASSOCIATES LTD.
Compositionally, andesite is made of 60 to 70?. plagioclase,
20 to 25?; augite, with accessory minerals quartz, magnetite, and
pyrite. Alteration has caused chlorite, calcite, saussurite,
albite, and quartz to form from the plagioclase and augite.
Dacitic members contain 70 to SO 1! plagioclase, 5 to 10% augite,
and 5 to 15?; quartz, with pyrite and magnetite as accessories.
Felsic volcanics include massive rhyodacite and rhyolite
with minor tuffaceous rhyolite and rhyodacite. Quartz and
feldspar porphyries are noted in the southwest corner of the
property in claims L-1015684 and L-1015689. The felsic rocks
are light-coloured and aphanitic with a white or buff weathered
surface.
Intruding the volcanics in the area of L2200E/100N is a
small plug of hornblende gabbro also of Archean age. This is a
dark green to black massive rock, having a composition of 40 to
45?; hornblende, 30 to 351; plagioclase, 5 to 101; biotite, and up
to 10?; quartz, with magnetite as an accessory mineral.
Structurally, the property is traversed by an anticlinal
axis that trends 030 0 through claims L-1015666, L-1015667,
and L-1015669, and leaves the northern part of the property
through Captain Lake.
Jensen shows two major faults cutting across the property.
The first is a north-trending fault that passes through claims
L-1015661, L-1015669, L-1015674, L-1015679, L-1015684, and
L-1015689. There is no surface expression of this fault. Its
15
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8c ASSOCIATES LTD.
position is interpreted on the basis of an abrupt change in the
strike of the volcanics.
A second fault is northeasterly trending (065 0 ) and is an
offshoot of the north-trending fault in claim L-1015689.
Several fault zones have been indicated by the VLP-EM
survey. Three of these were targets of diamond drill holes
#1, #4, and #5. D.D.H. #2 and #3 tested a magnetic anomaly.
D.D.H. #1 was oriented grid north (OSO 0 ) and drilled so
that it intersected a conductive axis which was located by the
VLF-EM survey in claim L-1015683 between L2200E/150S and
L2400E/200S. The electromagnetic survey showed the axis to
trend at 330 0 . A possible surface expression of this structure
is a small creek which drains into Little Misema Creek. The
hole was drilled 497 lineal feet at an angle of -45 0 . It was
collared at L2400E/225S.
A fault zone with quartz and carbonate infilling was
intersected between 202 and 204 feet below the collar. Most of
the hole was in a fine-grained, dark, grey/green, porphyritic
andesite. Quartz stringers of less than 1mm in width were
encountered along most of its length, with several larger veins
of up to 18" in width. The larger veins were often bounded by a
zone of brecciated andesite, making the orientation of the vein
difficult to ascertain.
Samples were taken from this and the other core sections
which appeared most likely to host mineralization. These were
16
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8c ASSOCIATES LTD.
sent for assay at Accurassay Laboratories in Kirkland Lake.
Preparation of the samples included pulverization to 90*6 -80
mesh. The pulps were screened through 80 mesh wire cloth and
the entire +80 mesh fraction was then assayed, as were two 1AT
cuts of the -80 mesh product. The best value from D. D. H. #1
was 100 ppb Au over 2 feet.
D. D. H. #2 and #3 were drilled to test the magnetic anomaly
in claim L-1015679. D. D. H. #2 was collared at L2200E/362.5N,
while D. D. H. #3 was collared at L2150E/350N.
D. D. H. #2 was inclined at -45 0 and oriented grid north
(050 0 ). Core from this hole shows a fine-grained, grey-green
chloritic rhyo-dacite with between 3 and 5% pyrite and a trace
of pyrrhotite. These sulphides were found usually along or near
the edges of very narrow (less than 2" width) quartz stringers.
The amount of pyrite was remarkably consistent throughout the
267 foot length of the hole and decreased to below 3% only at
the 235 foot mark in the core. The best gold assay returned
from the samples taken from this hole was 232 ppb over 1.5 feet.
D. D. H. #3 was inclined at -50 0 , oriented grid north
(050 0 ) and drilled to a distance of 250 feet from the collar.
Fine-grained, soft, grey-green, and chloritic rhyo-dacite was
again encountered. A maximum of 7% pyrite with a trace of
pyrrhotite was found intermittently throughout the hole.
Several narrow zones of brecciated rhyo-dacite infilled by
quartz were noted. The best assay returned from Hole 13 was 688
17
JAMES E. TILSLEY b ASSOCIATES LTD.
ppb Au over 2 feet .
D. D. H. #4 was positioned to test the second conductive axis
indicated by the VLF-EM survey. This axis was found to strike
at approximately 110 0 in claims L-1015659 and L-1015667 between
L1100E/350N and L1400E/525N. The hole reached a distance of 497
feet from the collar at -45 0 . It is oriented grid south (230 0 )
and collared at L1300E/475S.
Fault zones were intersected in the core between 131 and 147
feet, as well as between 423 and 426 feet. Drill core from this
hole consisted primarily of a rhyo-dacite, again fine grained
and grey/green in colour. A quartz porphyry was found for the
first 146 feet below the collar, while quartz stringers less
than 1mm in width were encountered frequently along the length
of the hole. Some carbonate was also noted, including a 3"
vein of white and pink calcite at 246 feet. A maximum of
between 5 and 71 disseminated pyrite was logged in a zone of
brecciated rhyo-dacite infilled with quartz at 305 feet. The
best assay of the samples taken from core in this hole was 66
ppb Au over 2 feet.
The third conductive axis indicated by the VLF-EM survey
trends roughly parallel to the forest access road in the
northern end of the property. The main conductive axis appears
to trend at roughly 350 0 through claims L-1015658, L-1015666,
and L-1015671 between L1000E/275N and L1500E/025S. An offshoot
of the main axis trends approximately 310 0 , splitting at
18
JAMES E. TILSLEY Bc ASSOCIATES LTD.
L1100E/200N. Also, a Scintrex airborne anomaly was indicated in
this area in 1971. These axes were drilled for 497 feet at an
angle of -45 0 . The hole was collared at L1050E/281N and drilled
grid south (230 0 ).
Fault-related fracturing was noted between 80 and 90 feet
below the collar, with a second, coarser fracture zone at 97 to
100 feet. Soft, grey andesite was logged at the beginning of
this hole, with a porphyritic andesite starting at 153 feet.
A six inch quartz-carbonate vein was encountered at 61 feet.
Several zones of brecciated andesite infilled with quartz were
also noted and sampled. A 2" quartz vein with S-5% pyrite was
intersected at 152 feet. The highest value returned was 201 ppb
Au over l .5 feet.

SAMPLING
Sampling of the Ben Nevis property of Regal Goldfields
Limited included four large samples of the exposed bedrock near
the magnetic anomaly in claim L-1015679, and 26 samples from the
2008 feet of core obtained during the diamond drilling program.
Five of the 26 samples of drill core were sent for a detailed
26-element geochemical analysis.
The four samples averaged 18.15kg and were collected in the
area of L2200E/350N where up to 5% pyrite was visible in outcrop
just south of the magnetic anomaly. Preparation of these sam
ples included jaw crushing the rock to 1/4" and then to -20 mesh
using a rolls crusher. The -20 mesh product was screened to
remove any coarse gold which might have been present in the
samples. After initial screening, a 500g cut was sent to Accur-
assay Laboratories where it was pulverized to approximately 80
mesh. The pulp was screened using an 80 mesh (850 micron)
sieve. Two 1AT cuts of the -80 mesh fraction were assayed, as
was the entire +80 mesh product. The following is a summary of
the results obtained by sampling of this area:

JAMES E, TILSLEY 8c ASSOCIATES LTD.
During the diamond drill program, a total of 26 samples
was taken from selected lengths of drill core which appeared to
be favourable for hosting gold mineralization. Preparation of
these samples involved pulverization to nominal 80 mesh and
screening using an 80 mesh sieve. Two 1AT cuts were taken of
the -80 mesh fraction while the entire + 80 mesh fraction was
assayed. Detailed assay results are shown on the diamond drill
logs.
Five samples from the core were analyzed for each of 26
elements, including Ag, Al, As, Au, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu,
Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Pd, Pt, Sb, Sn, Sr, U, W, and
Zn. These were compared to the values established by W. J.
Wolfe and reported in Geochemical Exploration of Early
Precambrian Volcanogenic Sulphide Mineralization in Ben Nevis
Township. (Ontario Geological Survey Study 19, 1977).
Wolfe took 920 samples and established an average zinc
value of 70 ppm, with a standard deviation of +J- 30 ppm. Of
the five test samples from drill core, four exceeded the mean
and one (120 ppm) was almost 2 standard deviations above the
mean.
Wolfe's copper analysis yielded an average of 45 ppm with a
standard deviation of */- 37 ppm. Copper values from the test
drill core samples collected were all above the mean, with a
high of 572 ppm (over 14 standard deviations above the mean!).
Values of 254 ppm {over 5 standard deviations above mean) and
21
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8c ASSOCIATES LTD.
226 ppm (over 4 standard deviations greater than the mean) were
also reported.
An average nickel content established by Wolfe in 1977 was
81 ppm, with a standard deviation of +/- 50 ppm. Assays from
four of the five samples from the core were determined to exceed
the average, although none were deemed truly anomalous by
exceeding the mean by two standard deviations.
Of the trace elements, the average manganese value of 708
ppm was exceeded in one of the five samples, but only by 23 ppm.
Cobalt was found by Wolfe to have an average abundance of
21 ppm with a standard deviation of +/- 10 ppm. The mean was
surpassed in all five core samples, including a value of 67 ppm
which was more than 4 standard deviations above the mean.
Assay certificates are appended.

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS
The geophysical surveys employed a Scintrex IGS-2
(Integrated Geophysical System) fitted with sensors and
processing circuits to permit collection of total field magnetic
and vertical magnetic gradient data (MP-4), and to measure three
components of the VLF-magnetic field (VLF-4). The system
includes a solid state memory in which measurements are stored
in ASCII 7 bit, no parity format. Data retrieval is by RS-232C
serial interface to digital printer, modem, microcomputer, or
cassette tape recorder.
Both the IGS-2 field unit and the magnetic base station
have solid state memories expanded to 48 kilobytes. This
permits readings at up to 800 field stations before data dump is
required. The magnetic base station is usually operated by an
automotive 12 volt battery, which provides ample, steady, and
reliable power. The expanded memory allows magnetic field
measurements to be recorded each two or three seconds for
continuous periods of ten to twelve hours.
The field magnetic data were microprocessor corrected for
diurnal variation using a pre-programmed routine resident in the
memory of the IGS-2 field unit referenced to continuous magnetic
records obtained by an MP-3 proton magnetometer operating in
base station mode, time synchronized with the IGS-2/MP-4 field
unit. Resolution is O.lnT.
Three components of the VLF magnetic field are recorded at

each survey station. One, two, or three navigation station
signals can be received and vertical in-phase, vertical
quadrature, and horizontal amplitude of the magnetic component
of the VLF electromagnetic field can be read sequentially in
less than one minute.
At the end of each field day during the surveys, all data
were recovered in hard copy on a dot matrix digital printer.
When hard copy had been obtained and verified, the solid state
memories of the magnetic base station and the field unit were
erased in preparation for the next survey day.
The magnetic base station was set up near the center of the
property where the base line intersects the access road near
L1580E/BLO. Magnetic data are presented on two map sheets drawn
at a scale of 1:2500 to cover the area within the property
boundaries. The scale was chosen to permit plotting of closely-
spaced measurements. Both the corrected total magnetic field
determinations and vertical magnetic gradient data are shown on
the plans. The total magnetic field data are plotted on the
east side of the lines and the magnetic gradient to the west.
The total field is in the order of 58 SOOnT (base field). The
first and second digits of the total magnetic field are normally
omitted. Only the last three digits are plotted, unless the
field is changing from above 58 OOOnT to below 58 OOOnT (or vice
versa).
The VLF-EM survey sheets have the vertical in-phase
component determinations plotted to the west of the lines and
24
JAMES E. TILSLEY Be. ASSOCIATES LTD.
the vertical quadrature to the east. Both are expressed in
percent. The horizontal amplitude vector of the magnetic
component of the electromagnetic field transmitted by the
navigation station being measured is shown where relative change
indicates the axis of a conductive structure. These values are
not absolute values but are instantaneous measurements of the
primary field strength which is known to vary diurnally. Since
the strength of the primary field has not been monitored by a
VLF recording base station, no data exist to permit
normalization of these values. Therefore, the values are
indicative of the location of conductive axes, but cannot be
used comparatively.
MAGNETIC SURVEY
The magnetic survey of the Ben Nevis Township property was
designed to indicate any areas of bedrock which may contain
magnetic sulphide mineralization, namely pyrrhotite, as well as
providing detailed structural information about the volcanic
rocks which underlie the claim group. A total of 3523 readings
was taken at 12.5m intervals along profiles spaced at 100m.
There was no difference in magnetic expression between the
felsic and the intermediate volcanics, indicating that a fairly
similar chemical composition is shared by the two rock units.
One anomalous area in claim L-1015679 was indicated by the
survey along lines 2150E and 2200E approximately 400m north of
25
JAMES E. TILSLEY ft ASSOCIATES LTD.
the base line. Values as high as 59 711nT (l 411nT over the
base field of 58 300nt) were recorded. Between 5 and 7% pyrite
was noted in the intermediate volcanics just south of the sur
face expression of the anomaly. Two diamond drill holes were
located to intersect the magnetic high. D.D.H. #2 was collared
at L2200E/362.5N and D.D.H #3 was collared at L2150E/350N. As
much as 71; pyrite mineralization was encountered through the
entire length of each hole. A trace amount of pyrrhotite was
also found to be present with the pyrite, thus accounting for
the magnetic anomaly. The anomaly appears to indicate a single
elongated plug with a maximum axis of about 75m.
VLF-EM SURVEYS
A VLF-EM survey was completed over the property using
signals from the transmitting station in Cutler, Maine (NAA)
which broadcasts at a frequency of 24.0kHz.
Several conductive structures were outlined by the survey
and became targets for the diamond drilling program. Drill
results, as discussed earlier, indicated fault zones to explain
the anomalies. Also present were some quartz and quartz-
carbonate veins, as well as zones of silicification and
shearing.
The locations and orientations of the three major
conductive axes were discussed earlier as part of the descrip
tion of D.D.H #1,4, and 5.

RECOMMENDATIONS
To this point, there have been no economic amounts of gold
or base metal mineralization found in the Ben Nevis Township
property of Regal Goldfields Limited. There are, however,
several indications that mineralization processes have occurred
which would warrant further exploration on the property.
From drill core, silicification, carbonitization, and minor
shearing were noted. Sampling yielded anomalous abundances of
zinc, copper, and cobalt. Secondly, the property is in very
close proximity to other prospects which have recently reported
showings (Northern Miner, November 7, 1988).
First of all, geological mapping should be completed on the
entire property. Only 13 of the 35 claims were mapped before
excessive snow cover forced the termination of the survey for
the season.
Next, a reconnaissance humus geochemistry survey should be
carried out over the entire property. Such a survey will
indicate the presence of base and precious metals through the
overburden cover as long as the overburden is not too deep. We
have found collection of forest mull (or 'humus') to be the most
effective geochemical survey sampling technique, since this
material will indicate the chemistry of the soils and rocks
penetrated by the roots of the trees and shrubs from which it is
derived. This gives a greater depth of effective sampling than
can be expected when inoroganic material is collected from the
27
JAMES E. TILSLEY ft ASSOCIATES LTD.
uppermost soil horizons developed on transported overburden.
Normally, humus samples are taken on a relatively wide spacing
since there tends to be a dispersion and mixing of leaves,
needles and bark fragments from individual trees or groups of
trees growing on mineralized ground with similar material from
trees not in contact with mineralized bedrock. This results in
broad, low amplitude, metal anomalies from restricted source
areas.
Reconnaissance sampling is recommended over areas of the
property which are not covered by swamps, areas of great over
burden thickness where vegetation is unable to reach bedrock, or
areas where bedrock is directly exposed. The spacing for recon
naissance sampling should be 50m along lines not more than 100m
apart. Detailed sampling would have samples taken on not more
than a 40m square grid, with a 20m square grid density in
selected areas.
The humus samples respond well to analysis by neutron
activation techniques and are particularly suitable for
determination of gold content in the parts per billion range.
We have found that other elements are often useful indicators
of mineralization and usually opt for the total 16 element
package {Au, Sb, As, Ba, Br, Cr, Co, Fe, Mo, Se, Ag, Ta, Th, W,
U, and Zn) at a slight additional analysis charge.
Interpretation of geological and geochemical results with
reference to information collected during geological mapping of
28
JAMES E. TILSLEY 8c ASSOCIATES LTD.
the survey area should be followed by trenching, stripping,
washing, detailed geological mapping, sampling, and assaying, as
required and possible under overburden and drainage conditions
existing in those areas where data indicate the possibility of
mineralized bodies.
Finally, attention should be given to the two claims
(L-1015655 and L-1015656) in the northwestern corner of the
property which were not included in the magnetic and VLF-EM
surveys. A base line should be cut in a northerly direction
from the end of the present base line. East-west trending
profile lines should be spaced at 100m intervals along this new
base line.
The estimated costs of the recommended exploration work
are tabulated on page 30.
