1 S2KI6MW13 Z.3739 AVIS LAKE O10 REPORT ON GROUND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS HORIZONTAL LOOP E. M. and MAGNETOMETER SLATE LAKE GRID #1 NTS 52K JUL l MNOS

2 INTRODUCTION Grid #1 consists of six contiguous claims numbered as follows: KRL inclusive. These claims are located on claim sheet M-2410, Avis Lake Area, District of Kenora, (Patricia Portion), Red Lake Mining Division (NTS 52K1\). This ground was staked on behalf of St.Joseph Explorations Limited during the summer of 1977 and were re corded August 15, The horizontal loop electromagnetic survey and magnetometer survey were performed by the following personnel: N.W.Rayner, 37 Martin Rd., Toronto, Ontario. M.Marren, 27 Augusta Street, Cambridge, Ontario. A. Sweezey, P.O. Box 733, Kingston, Ontario. C.Perity, 8771 Tardif Street, Lasalle, Quebec. Geophysical surveying was carried out on January 26 - January 28, LOCATION and ACCESS Grid #1 is located 305 meters north of Maskooch Lake. Access can be gained to this claim group by chartered air service from Red Lake, Ontario. The trip is approximately 90 km due east of Red Lake. HISTORY of PREVIOUS WORK The area was previously mapped by J.D.Bateman in 1938 for the Ontario Department of Mines. The report was titled "Geology and Gold Deposits of the Uchi-Slate Lake Area". In 1975, the area was mapped in some detail by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources by Breaks, F.W.; Bond, W.D.; Stone, Denver; Harris,- N.; and Desnoyers, D.W. - Operation Kenora-Ear Falls, Papaonga-Wapesi Lakes Sheet, District of Kenora, Ontario Division of Mines, Preliminary Map P1200, Geol. Ser., Scale 1:63,360 (l inch to l mile) Geology 1975.

3 ~/ m * * * * In the summer of 1977 some reconnaissance mapping was carried out on the claims by St.Joseph Explorations Limited. GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS Approximately 8 km of line was cut. The grid lines were spaced 100 meters apart and were picketed every 30 meters. The grid was surveyed with a Max-Min II electromagnetic system (see appendix II for specifications). The coil separation was 100 meters and readings were taken every 30 meters along the grid lines. The frequency read was 1777 hz. A magnetometer survey was also conducted on this grid, using a Barringer GM-122 magnetometer (see appendix III for specifications). Readings were taken every 30 meters along the lines. A Scintrex MBS-II total field magnetic base station (see appendix IV for specifications) was used to make diurnal corrections on raw magnetometer data. The base station sensor head was set up 50 meters from the base camp on the north shore of Slate Lake. See the location map for the base station location. A reading was taken every minute by the instrument and recorded on a strip chart recorder. RESULTS and INTERPRETATIONS Horizontal Loop E.M. Survey The horizontal loop results are plotted on a scale of 1:5,000 with a profile scale of l cm = Four electromagnetic conductive zones were located by the H.L.E.M. survey. The very strong broad anomaly on line 4E 400N would appear to be continuous to the west and possibly to the east as a formational conductor. The strength over a large width suggest it may be related to a graphitic horizon. The anomaly which starts on line 3E 40N and J/ * * * * *

4 continues to line 5E 30S is more typical of a massive sul phide response. The anomaly that starts at line 6E 40N and continues to line 8E 25N may be a faulted extension of the above conductor. On line 6E at 150N is a one line response which may be part of the anomaly to the south. The shape of the E.M. profile on line 6E indicates 2. conductive sources, one at 6E 150N and the other at 6E 40N. Magnetometer Survey The magnetometer survey is plotted at a scale of 1:5000 and data contoured at 1000 gamma intervals. The area of grid #1 has high magnetic re lief. The magnetic high which peaks at the baseline between line 6E and line 7E has an oval shape which outlines a magnetic mass which appears related to the E.M. conductor which flanks the north edge of the magnetic anomaly. The magnetically low area along line O appears to be underlain by a quartz porphyry intrusive. The zone of magnetic highs and lows trending notthwestsoutheast appears to be underlain by mafic volcanics and mafic intrusives containing variable amounts of magnetite. CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS The results of the H. L. E. M. survey and mag netometer survey indicate several anomalous zones. All conductors and magnetic anomalies should be checked by pros pecting, soil sampling and if required diamond drilling. Respectfully submitted, NWR*MS N.W.Rayner

These claims are located on claim sheet M-2410 Avis Lake Area, District of Kenora, (Patricia Portion), Red Lake Mining Division, (NTS 52K15).

Geophysical surveying was carried out on January 15 to January 25, LOCATION and ACCESS Grid #2 is located on the south shore of Maskooch Lake. The northwest corner of the claim group lies 1.82 km south of the east end of Slate Lake (see location map). Access can be gained to this claim group by chartered air service from Red Lake, Ontario. The trip is approximately 90 km due east of Red Lake. HISTORY of PREVIOUS WORK The area was previously mapped by J.D.Bateman in 1938 for the Ontario Department of Mines.

See the location map for A reading was taken every minute by the instrument and recorded on a strip chart recorder. RESULTS and INTERPRETATIONS Horizontal Loop E.M. Survey The horizontal loop results are plotted on a scale of 1:5000 with a prof ile scale of l cm = 2 0'X,. Thirteen electromagnetic conductive zones were located by the H.L.E.M. survey. zones are listed below. Descriptions of A-M Zone A - This anomaly appears to be formational, with a strike length of 3.2 km. The anomaly starts on line 13W 325S and continues to line 6E 75S where it turns approximately and continues to line 6W 225N. This conductive zone appears to outline a fold structure. 3/...

8 I.P./O.P. ratios and conductor wide are variable. The best drill target to test the nature of this conductor is on line IE 25S. Zone B - This conductive zone has a strike length of l km, and is part of a broad conductive zone which in cludes zone C to the north. On line 15W, 200S, the conductive ratio is 3:1. This is the strongest part of the anomaly. Zone C - This zone lies 100 meters north of Zone B. It has a strike length of 1.2 km. Line HW at 100S may be a suitable drill target for this conductive zone. Both zone B and C appear to be formational anomalies. Zone C is coincident with a topographic lineament which may be a fault zone with associated sulphide and/or magnetite. Zone D - Conductive zone D is weak with a strike length of 400 meters. Zone E - Conductive zone E is narrow and weak. It may be an easterly extension of zone C. Zone P - Conductive zone F appears to be a western extension of zone D. On line 19W at SOS the anomaly is approximately 30 meters wide. Zone G - Zone G has a strike length of 150 meters. The I.P./O.P. ratio is 2:1 on line 20W at 285S. The shape of the curve suggests a southerly dip. Zone H - This anomaly is primarily an out-of-phase response which is characteristic of poor electromagnetic conductors. Zone I - Conductive zone I is an isolated conductor with a short strike length probably less than 100 meters. It has moderate conductivity, with a 1:1 I.P./O.P. ratio. The shape of the profile suggests that this conductor lies at depth.

9 Zone J - This anomaly is a one line response with a strike length of 100 meters. It has a coincident small magnetic high. Zone K - Zone K is an in-phase response only, which may be due to poor coil orientation. Zone L - This conductive zone lies to the south of formational anomaly A on line 6W at 430S. Zone M - Anomaly M on line 24W 110S is a weak, single line conductor. Disseminated sulphides may be the cause. Maqnetometer Survey The magnetometer survey is plotted at a scale of 1:5000 and the data contoured at 1000 gamma inter vals. The area of grid 2 has high magnetic relief. A number of magnetic highs were defined. The largest mag netic high flank the south limb of conductive zone A and confirms the existance of a fold structure. Abundant magnetite as discrete grains were observed in volcanoclastic rock which underlie grid 2. CONCLUSIONS and RECOMMENDATIONS The results of the H. L. E. M. survey and magnetometer survey indicate numerous anomalous zones. Zones A, B, and C would appear as formational conductors probably of little economic interest. However, all con ductors and magnetic anomalies should be checked by pros pecting, soil sampling and if required diamond drilling. Respectfully submitted, NWR*MS N. W. Rayner
