INTRODUCTION

A grid of lines, 50 m apart, has been surveyed across St.

Paul Bay with both VLF and magnetics from winter ice. The target

of this work was the projected interaction of the Pipestone Bay -

St. Paul Bay deformation zone (PBDZ) with the East Bay deformation

zone (EBDZ) under the lake adjacent to the Dome stock. This was

considered a highly prospective situation, especially since a

system of ultramafic rocks are seen to thread the local setting.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The subject property is comprised of 12 contiguous

regular 16 ha (40 acre) claims as listed below and disposed as

shown (Fig. 1). The survey area was confined to St. Paul Bay and

its western approaches in Red Lake and involved the four claims

KRL 775731, KRL 963600, KRL 1143079 and KRL 1143080 only. The grid

was laid out entirely on lake ice.

Access to this portion of the property was readily had

from the town of Red Lake by road and a bush track suitable for 4x4

transport. Total distance to the grid per this route was 5.5 kms,

2.6 kms along the Madsen Highway from the intersection with the

Howey Bay Road, 2.9 kms along a track to the east end of St. Paul

Bay. Access was further improved by an ice road which ran the

length of the bay. All traversing itself however was undertaken by

foot (snowshoes).

DETAILS OF SURVEY

Grid lines were oriented due N-S spaced 50 m apart and

pegged every 25 m.

The VLF survey was conducted with a Geonics model Em-16

receiver tuned to NAA broadcasting at 24.0 kHz from Cutler, Maine.

Measurements of the in-phase and out-of-phase component of the

vertical field were made at each observation point to a sensitivity

of l0 of tilt and l?; of primary field respectively. The operator

faced north throughout the survey for all observations.

The magnetic readings of the terrestrial field were

collected with a Geometrics model GM-816 with a sensitivity of l nT

to an accuracy of *2 nT. Diurnal changes were monitored by looping

back to established bases approximately every 2 hours during the

working day.

No attempt was made to final process the collected data

locally, instead all results were relayed to Toronto where all

appropriate corrections to them could be made and processed into

maps. Specifically the VLF readings were plotted in stacked

profiles, then (Fraser) filtered to remove extremes of response and

to supply a first derivative peaking over all inflection points.

The latter were contoured to depict all those spatial relationships

of anomaly that promised to occur across the area. The magnetic

data for their part were compensated for diurnal drift and brought

to a common datum. They then too were plotted in profile, posted

in plan and contoured.

These geophysical outputs are all presented herewith at

a plan scale of 1:5000.

DISCUSSION

The VLF traverses are aligned N-S. This orientation

provides a good attitude with respect to the NAA field which is

broadcast at 24.0 kHz from Cutler, Maine; it also supplies an

excellent sampling of the PBDZ as it passes through the St. Paul

Bay environment and a reasonable description of the EBDZ should it

enter the area from the northeast as prescribed (Fig. 2). A

previous trial traversing E-W with VLF utilizing the NAA field

showed that there was a very fair chance that the EBDZ could be

picked up even in the deeper parts of the lake/ even though

response signals would naturally be weaker (see sketch).

As it turns out/ the new survey data disclose a slightly

more complicated picture. This is regarded as inevitable/ given

the structural and lithologic heterogeneity of the bedrock geology.

Notwithstanding, some definite trends can be perceived, the most

eminent of which flanks/ to either one side or the other, the

strong magnetic horizon to the south side of the grid. Water is

more shallow here and near-outcrop conditions are projected to

prevail, especially around the edges of the central line 100W land

protuberance into the lake.

Other trends exist, even well out into the lake. These

are seen despite the weakness of the secondary signal in some

places. Such a circumstance was anticipated and comes as no

surprise. However since weak anomalies can be important anomalies

in these conditions, these are treated here with all due consider

ation. Thus some credence can be attached to the weak but

persistent anomaly system that angles across line 250W at the BL,

also across lines 350W and 400W at the BL. This fits the EBDZ

projection, at least in orientation and general position of the

zone's east edge. This is best seen in the Fraser filter

presentation (Dwg. No. EIC-2753) where in effect this trend becomes

the dominant new addition to area knowledge.

From the perspective of gold incidence, the most

prospective section on this system's axis falls near the south end

of line 450W as it interacts with the ultramafic magnetic feature

and the PBDZ there and is lost. It is in this location that

drilling is recommended. A suitable first hole would be:

Collar at: 00+25S/450W

to be drilled grid S at -500 for 155,m

It is to be noted that the magnetics have been abated locally in

this vicinity., and could well represent thereby an alteration by

either magnetite depletion or silica flooding or both. In any of

these events, the chances of gold occurrence would be substantially

improved hereabouts.

In addition, there exist other possibilities in the sub-

region. The main magnetic relief is due to ultramafic volcanics

and intrusives on drill and outcrop evidence, and such rocks are

important hosts to high grade gold in the Campbell and Red Lake (ex

Dickenson) mines. Across the present grid area, they have

ostensibly been deformed and broken up by a combination of folding

and faulting. Since some of these same ultramafic bodies could

well be carrying platinum/palladij^m independently of gold, theyf f

emerge as the target occurrences* for future work.
