2 - l - INTRODUCTION Lacana Mining Corporation of Toronto holds six con tiguous unpatented claims in McArthur Township, Porcupine Mining Division. The claim numbers are as follows: P579008, P to 021 inclusive, P The claims were staked by Lacana in October of 1980 and cover the central part of the old Triple Lake Porcupine Gold Mine property, LOCATION AND ACCESS The claims are situated in the southern portion of McArthur Township and cover the central part of Triple Lake and the adjacent high ground. Access is by all-weather road from Timmins to the south boundary of McArthur Township, then by a newly widened cottage road which passes through the claim group. PREVIOUS WORK Triple Lake Porcupine Gold Mine Ltd. held 15 claims on Triple Lake in the 1930's. The only available description of the property is by Erie Canadian Mines Ltd. in a report by Burke in Early work was concentrated on a gold-copper bearing quartz vein on the east side of Triple Lake. "A twocompartment shaft, sunk on the vein at a point no more than 25 feet from the lake shore, has been completed to a depth of 55 feet. The vein passed out of the shaft at a vertical distance of 20 feet. In addition to the shaft sinking, the vein has been partially explored by two diamond drill holes which gave indefinite results" (Burke 1938). The shaft was not extended past 55 feet, and no further work seems to have taken place.

3 - 2 - GEOLOGY McArthur Township was mapped by Pyke and Assistants on a scale of l inch to 1/2 mile in Details occur in Geoscience Report 161 'Geology of the Redstone River Area, District of Timiskaming 1 by D. R. Pyke, Ministry of Natural Resources. A single outcrop occurs on the property on the east side of Triple Lake and includes the gold bearing quartz vein on which all the early work was concentrated. Intermediate bedded tuffs occur at the north end of the outcrop and strike northwest with northeast dip of approximately 60O. The tuffs are intruded by a diorite sill, the top of which was not observed. The main quartz vein occurs within the tuffs close to the diorite contact and strike northeast. Burke in 1938 des cribes the vein and suggests that the vein which averages 2 feet in width is a quartz filled cross fracture. Assays of up to 2 oz./ton Au were reported from the quartz vein during the early work. GEOPHYSICS A grid, 6.0 miles long, was laid out by Lacana staff during March and June of 1981 to cover the claims group. Grid lines were put in every 400 feet along the base line with stations every 50 feet. Magnetometer, VLF electromagnetic and geological surveys followed. The VLF survey is being submitted for assess ment credits. A Crone Radem VLF unit was used for the survey with Annapolis, Maryland as the transmitter station. Dip angle

4 - 3 - readings were taken every 100 feet on the grid. The results are plotted in Figure l, which accompanies this report. Two anomalies of short length are apparent from Figure 1. Anomaly A in the western part of the property has southeast trend and was picked up on two lines. Anomaly B occurs on line 0+00, close to the old shaft. The amount of metal in the old shaft area could be responsible for Anomaly B. Anomaly A is parallel to the local stratigraphy and is of interest.
