2 TEXASGULF CANADA LTD. GEOPHYSICAL REPORT ON TECK 51 N.T.S: 42-A-l PROJECT #36 INTRODUCTION: On September 27, 1979, the Flinistry of Natural Resources released the results of an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey, covering approximately 27 townships, in the Kirkland Lake area. Teck 51 represents a four claim block, staked as a result of apparent anomalous results in this location. This group consists of claims L , L , L and L LOCATION AND ACCESS: Teck 51 lies approximately 4 miles northwest of Kirkland Lake. The surveys conducted on this group, were done during the winter months, and access was limited to skidoo travel from a point on the Goldthorpe Road, just past the Wilroy Mine. A trail, representing the remnants of an old bush road, extends northward from the Goldthorpe Road, and was cleared out to ac commodate travel by skidoo. The total distance is about 3 miles. However, skidoo access was limited to a point located in the center of another Texasgulf property, called Teck 42. From here, final access onto the Teck 51 group consisted of a further

3 ...2 3/4 of a mile walk northward using existing grid linos and a pre viously established blazed trail. The group can also be reached within 10 minutes using hel icopter service from Kirkland Lake. Summer access is essentially along the same route, except that it is possible to drive in further along the Goldthorpe Road, up to the point where the trail branches northward to the group. From here, a further 3 mile walk is necessary, in order to reach the property. GENERAL GEOLOGY; The rocks in the Teck Township area are Precambrian age. The northwestern area of the township is underlain by metamor phosed massive to pillowed volcanic flows with interbedded graph itic schists which have been intruded by metagabbroic bodies. (R. Bald,1980) The general trend of the volcanic rocks is east-west. PREVIOUS WORK: Other than mapping by the Ontario Department of Mines in 1948, the only other evidence of previous work is a drill hole by INCO in While the exact location of the collar could not be deter mined, it is believed to be somewhere in the northwest corner of the Teck 51 property. Information in the log is limited, with no indication of any mineralization, other than a graphitic unit, which is believed to be representative of the western end of an electromagnetic anomaly, which was outlined in our own surveys on the property.

4 ...3 No other previous geophysical surveys appear to have been conducted or at least filed with the Ministry of Natural Resources. SURVEY METHODS: Line cutting: A baseline (Az. 080 ) was established through the center of the group with lines being turned of at right angles at 60 meter intervals. The grid lines were picketed every 20 meters and were extended to the claim boundaries. Magnetic; A model G-816 Geometrics Proton Magnetometer was used in this survey and is designed for measurements of the earth's total magnetic field. It provides a ;f l gamma resolution over a complete range from 20,000 to 100,000 gammas. Readings are given as a digital readout and are independent of temperature, humidity and battery conditions. Magnetic base stations were established at 60 meter inter vals coinciding with the intersection of picket lines and the baseline; readings were taken at 20 meter intervals and were corrected for diurnal drift using the closed loop method. Horizontal Loop: The Apex Parametrics Max MinII E.M. system was used in this survey at frequencies of 1777 and 444 Hz.

5 ...4 This method consists of a receiver (Rx) and transmitter (Tx) being maintained in the same plane at a constant separation. The choice of separation varies, with a selection of six reference cables ranging in length from 40 meters to 240 meters and each provides a theoretical depth penetration of half its length. A 120 M cable was used in this survey. This cable serves to "buck out" or "nullify" the transmitted primary field, which in turn allows for measurement of the In-Phaso (I.P.) and Out-of-Phase (O.P.) components of any resultant second ary field caused by a traversed conductive zone. Readings were taken at 40 meter intervals and the resultant data was plotted in profile, providing a reliable source of informa tion, from which an accurate quantitative and qualitative analysis of anomalies can be made. SURVEY RESULTS AND INTERPRETATIONS; In order to facilitate interpretations and correlations of the various surveys, both the H.E.M. and Magnetic surveys will be dealt with in this section. A strong southeast-northwest trending anomaly was outlined in the Horizontal Loop (H.E.M.) survey. While the anomaly appears to have considerable width to it, this is only due to the fact that a longer cable length was used, and it is therefore difficult to determine individual widths accurately. The anomalies as shown on the map, in fact, repre sent an anomalous zone for each profile. This zone of conducti vity in all likely hood represents several narrower, parallel anomalies of varying widths.

6 ...5 This is more evident in both the eastern and western extre- meties of the anomaly. The center area of the zone from Lines 180E to 420E indicates more uniform widths ranging from 45 meters to 75 meters wide. This could also be due to multiple conductive zones again, but much more closely spaced than in the east and west end of the anomaly. Due to the strength of the anomalies and the resulting erratic profiles, the 1777 Hz and 444 Hz results were plotted on separate maps. The main cause of the conductor is attributed to parallel, near vertical graphitic schists, within the volcanics. The depth to the zone appears to be very shallow, and while it runs off the group in the west, it is abruptly truncated on Line 720E where only a minor flunctuation in the I.P. profile narks its end. Subsequent geological mapping of the area has confirmed numer ous outcrops of graphitic schists over the entire strike length of the anomaly. A further detail H.E.M. survey was done from Lines 480E to Lines 660E inclusive, using a 40 meter cable. While the shorter cable did delineate up to three and four anomalies on one line, the widths of these are still difficult to determine with any real degree of accuracy. The actual surface locations of the respective zones will however be more accurate on the detail survey map. The graphitic anomaly shows very little magnetic consistency with respect to correlation with mag highs or lows. The magnetic highs throughout the property in general, appear to be typically small, erratic, isolated, lenticular anomalies, which could represent either small gabbroic intrusives or zones of pyrrhotite or magnetite concentrations.

7 ... 6 The weak mag highs having either a direct or flanking cor relation with the known graphitic anomaly, probably represent erratic pyrrhotite occurrences within the graphitic schists. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Sufficient surface outcropings of the anomaly in question, has allowed partial evaluation of its economic potential. Numer ous grab samples over its strike length have indicated only minor anomalous zinc values, in one or two samples. It should be point ed out, that these grab samples may account for only one or two of the parallel conductors, and in themselves are not totally representative of the anomaly. While the previous INCO hole drilled in 1965, did test only the western end of the anomaly, it could be expected that it is typical of the entire zone. Once again, it cannot be confirmed if the conductor has been completely, tested over it's width. In such situations where a conductor does have numerous parallel conductive zones, it would be unwise to walk away from the property without confirming the possibility of a sulphide horizon within the structure. It must therefore be concluded that the Teck 51 anomaly has not been adequately tested, and due to its length and nature cannot be tested with only one hole. Line 600E would be an ideal location to test this anomaly, but this would necessitate the drilling of two holes since the parallel anomalies are spread out over a distance of 200 meters across the strike.

8 ...7 I would also recommend that a V.L.F. survey and more detailed H.E.M. be done as well in order to more accurately outline the various parallel conductors. November 19, 1980 Don E. Tremblay
