3 INTRODUCTION A total field magnetic survey was conducted on the 6 contiguous claims of the O'Brien Claim Group Township, Porcupine Mining Division, Ontario. The purpose of the magnetic survey was to define the lithological units, identify the locations of faults and shear zones, and to located favourable areas for gold mineralization. m The field work was conducted by Alison Huntley in April, The interpretation and report were done by Kian A. Jensen on October 10, LOCATION AND ACCESS The O'Brien claim group is located about 2.5 mile southeast of the Buffalo Ankerite Mine in the north eastern part of Deloro Township, Porcupine Mining Division, Ontario. Access to the claim group is by the "Timmins Back Road" to the Buffalo Ankerite Mineand then southwards on a gravel road to the MacLaren Mine turnoff. Heading eastwards on a newly improved road will lead to the claim group which is situated on the west boundary of the Allerston Option ground. The road is a few hundred feet south of the Baseline.

5 /^ PROPERTY The O'Brien Claim Group consists of 6 contiguous unpatented claims in Delorop Township (Figure 1). The claims were staked by Mid Canada Exploration Services in late December of 1983 and early January Line cutting was done on the property by Exsics Explorattion Limited of Timmins, Ontario during March, The baseline has a bearing of due east and is picketed every 100 feet from West to East. North-south grid lines are picketed every 100 feet from North to South. A total of 8.4 line miles of grid was cut, with a total of 4.3 miles on unpatented claims. claims: The claim group consists of the following unpatented mining P P P P P P The claim P is a small wedge claim which has been optioned, the remainder of the claims, Pamour owns 100%. PREVIOUS WORK With the exception of some prospecting during the 1930's, there has been limited recorded work done on the property. The claims P- / j , , and had a humus geochemical survey done only on P and the wedge claim P Regional mapping and whole rock analysis was done by the Ontario Geological Survey in the early 1980's.

6 GENERAL GEOLOGY Regionally, the area is underlain by rocks of Early Precambrian (Archean) age, of metavolcanic and meta sedimentary rocks. The volcanics vary in carbonatization and range from a magnesium. thoelitiite to a ultramafic komatiite. Sediments of volcanics origin and various facies of iron formation are associated with the more felsic units, mafic to felsic calc-alkali metavolcanic rocks. Intruded into the above units are quartz-carbonated-feldspar porphyry and a fine grained diabase and a quartz diabase. GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY INTRODUCTION: A total field magnetic survey was completed on 8.4 miles of grid using the Geometrics G-816 Proton Procession Magnetometer. The instrument specifications are located in Appendix l. A total of 444 readings were taken at an interval of 100 feet along the base line and the east-west grid lines. Of this total 226 readings were on unpatented claims and 218 readings on patented claims. The survey was conducted by Alison Huntley in April, 1984 and supervised by the author. Drafting was completed by Blair Walker. All persons involved were employees of the exploration department of Pamour.

7 PROCEDURES: The baseline was surveyed with readings at an interval of 100 feet in short loops to eliminate large magnetic drifts. Upon completion of the baseline survey, all grid lines were surveyed at 100 foot intervals by starting at a control station on the baseline and ending the loop at a control station on the base line. The baseline data was corrected for the base station tie-in and the magnetic drift. This also yields corrected data for the control stations and for the grid lines. This data was also corrected for the base or control station tie-in and the magnetic drift. The base level of 59,000 gammas has been removed from all the readings and this corrected data is plotted on a base map with a scale of l inch to 200 feet. The data is contoured at 100 gamma intervals. The contour map is located in the back map folder. INTERPRETATION: The interpretation was conducted by the author on October 10, The interpretation of the ground total field magnetic survey is located on the magnetic contour map in the back folder.

8 There are 2 prominent faults trending north north-east and located on the baseline and at about West, the other is located on the baseline at Line These faults are about 50 feet wide and strike across the property. The magnetic highs are interpretated as possible diabase dikes or iron formations as follows: Line West at 7+50 South, trending northeast is assumed diabase dike. Line 4+00 East from 6+00 South to South, trending north is assumed diabase dike which is probably to the west of the grid line. Line 2+00 North to line 8+00 North at 1+00 West is probably a north trending iron formation. A parallel magnetic high is assumed to be a diabase dike striking in a north direction. Line East to Line 3+00 West and around North is suspected to be a westerly trending iron formation with a small amount of magnetite. m The baskground magnetics are attributed to a metavolcanic environment of a composition of mafic calc-alkai to komatiites. The magnetic lows are probably related to zones of carbonatization where these are not relate to either the diabase dikes or the magnetite rich iron formations.

9 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The fabourable targets for potential gold mineralization would be the iron formations provided the facies are of the sulphide one and hosts quartz veins, and the the magnetic lows which are assumed zones of carbonatization. - It is recommended that the property be completely mapped and sampled. Depending upon the results some trenching, stripping and/or drilling may be warranted.

16 GENERAL GEOLOGY Regionally, the area is underlain by rocks of Early Precambrian (Archean) age, of metavolcanic and meta sedimentary rocks. The volcanics vary in carbonatization and range from a magnesium. thoelitiite to a ultramafic komatiite. Sediments of volcanics origin and various facies of iron formation are associated with the more felsic units, mafic to felsic calc-alkali metavolcanic rocks. Intruded into the above units are quartz-carbonated-feldspar porphyry and a fine grained diabase and a quartz diabase. GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY INTRODUCTION: An electromagnetic VLF survey was completed on 4.3 miles of grid using the Phoenix VLF-2 EM unit. The transmitting station used for this survey was Cutler, Maine which has a transmitting frequency of 17.8 kilohertz. The instrument specifications are located in Appendix 1. A total of 201 readings were taken at an interval of 100 feet along the north-south grid lines. All the readings were on unpatented claims. The survey was conducted by Alison Huntley and Cathy Cook in April, 1984 and supervised by the author. Drafting was completed by Blair Walker. All persons involved were employees of the exploration department of Pamour.

17 PROCEDURES: Both VLF-2 were calibrated at the baseline and Line The calibration was set at 100X on the horizontal field strenght (HFS). Upon completion of this step, the north-south grid lines were surveyed using the 'Crone convension' at every 100 foot interval. The dip value and the HFS were recorded and are plotted on the profile map. The values on the left side of the survey line represents the dip values and the right side of the line shows the the HFS. The profiles on the enclosed map are of the dip values. * INTERPRETATION: The interpretation was conducted by the author on October 10, To assist in the interpretation, the dip values were Fraser Filtered. The anomalies are lettered from 'A' to 'O 1. The interpretation is as follows:

18 Conductor Depth Type Probable Cause A B C D E F G J K L M N 0 incomplete strong 50'-100' moderate 100' moderatre 50 '-7 5' moderate incomplete poor moderate poor poor poor 125' moderate 125' moderate poor swamp or outcrop swamp or outcrop possible iron formation and second conductor. related to 'D' possible iron formation contact contact, F and G may be relate possible swamp possible swamp contact or swamp contact or swamp contact or swamp contact or swamp The conductors generally trend in the similar direction of the lithological units, a northeasterly trend. The conductors C and D do not have a significant magnetic anomaly associated with them and the assumed iron formation may be sulphide rich. None of the faults identified in the magnetic survey appears to have an EM anomaly associated with them.

19 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The probable anomalies that warrant further work are as follows: C, D, F, and G. The other anomalies should be re-evaluated upon complete of a geological survey. * It is recommended that a geological survey be done and followed by trenching, stripping and/or drilling if good results are abtained from the mapping and sampling program.
