INTRODUCTION

During the period December 5-9, 1982, Aerodat

Limited of Malton, Ontario undertook an aeromagnetic

survey in Coulson Township, Northern Ontario, for

Canamax Resources Inc., 7 King St. East, Toronto.

A total of 550 kilometres of survey coverage

was completed in a north-south flight direction, so as

to maintain orthogonality with the approximate E-W

regional geological strike. Flight-line spacing was a

nomina 1 150 metres for the survey.

The purpose of this survey was to delineate

favourable Au-bearing geological targets such as

iron-formations and sedimentary l v olcanic contacts.

Personnel directly involved with the survey

were the pilot, Bert Simon, Equipment Operator/Party

Chief, Wally Bayko, and 3 Roth, Canamax Chief

Geophysici st.

PREVIOUS EXPLORATION

Most prior exploration in Coulson Township has

concentrated on the eastern half of the township.

Clay- overburden thickening towards the west has

severely restricted exploration in the western half.

Companies such as Noranda (1965), and Cominco

(1978), have drilled several holes on AEM targets,

intersecting mostly barren graphite. Shallow River

Gold Mines drilled a number of holes in the south-east

corner of the township, on a major sedimentary/volcanic

contact. Values of the order of .03 oz/ton were

reported in some holes. A fault zone towards the

south-west edge of the township was sampled by the ODM

in 1961, and returned an assay of .05 oz/ton Au.

GENERAL GEOLOGY

As mentioned above, most of the outcrop in

Coulson Township occurs to the east and south. Outcrop

consists mostly of mafic metavolcanics cut at several

locations by north-south trending diabase dykes of

Matachewan age. Limited outcrop of sediments

Page 7: RPT ON AMAG SUR - COULSON TWP PROP

- 3 -

(graywacke, siltstone) is noted west of Coulson Lake in

the south-central portion of the township. Several

obvious north-south faults occur in the south-west

corner of the township.

Outcrops of acid and ultra-mafic intrusives

occur in the north-east, immediately east and west of

the Shallow River.

SURVEY-PROCEDURE AND EQUIPMENT

The survey was carried out using an

Aerospatiale A-Star 350 D helicopter at a nominal

flight-line spacing of 200 metres. The magnetometer

used was a Geometrics G-803 porton precession type.

A Hoffman H RA-100 radar altimeter coupled with

a Geocam 35mm strip film tracking camera and the

Motorola Mini-Ranger radar positioning allowed for high

precision flight-path navigation and recovery.

An IFG proton precession magnetometer was used

as a base station magnetometer. This unit was

synchronized with the airborne system to facilitate

diurnal drift corrections.

OISSUSSION OF RESULTS

The magnetic map is dominated by a broad

(almost 5 kilometers wide) magnetic low in the central

part of the survey area. This magnetically quiet area

is undoubtedly a reflection of a major sedimentary

trough, the south contact with volcanic rocks of which

has been tested, at the Coulson-Warden boundary, by

Shallow River Gold Mines. The mafic to ultramafic

volcanics along the southern border of the survey area

are manifested by a number of irregular, disrupted

magnetic highs suggesting that major north-south

faulting has taken place. The only north-south

Matachewan diabase dike clearly indicated by the

magnetic data is the relatively weak north-south

magnetic trend between Lines 3180 and 3200. The two

parallel north-east trending features in the north-west

portion of the survey block are also interpreted as

diabase dykes, but of Keewanawan age.

The sedimentary trough in the centre of the

township is disrupted to the east by two isolated, 1.5

- 2.5 km long, magnetic linears. Though numerous

outcrops of gabbro are noted in the vicinity, no direct

evidence for the source of these two magnetic features

has been located. In fact many of the gabbro outcrops

Page 9: RPT ON AMAG SUR - COULSON TWP PROP

- 5 -

in this part of the survey area appear to be

non-magnetic. This raises the possibility of an

iron-formation source, a favourable target environment

for Au-mineralization.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

The aeromagnetic survey has succeeded in

outlining several potential Au-bearing environments.

Detailed ground magnetic and electromagnetic

surveys should be undertaken to more accurately

delineate these environments for final evaluation by

drilling.

Respectfully submitted,

C*.A. Watts
