3 (1) INTRODUCTION Five days (June 18,19,20 S 22,23/1992) were spent on reconnaissance geology traverses in the Mcconnell Lake area, McAuslan Township. The purpose was to try and locate new showings of amblygonite and lepidolite for quarrying. The minerals occur in a quartzose rock. Amblygonite (L1A1FP04) imparts a light to medium green colour to the rock and lepidolite (K2Li3A13(AlSi3010)2(0,OH,F)4 gives a rose to pink colour. The quarried rock is used as a building decorative stone. The traverses were successful in locating some float pieces and in-place sources similar to that being quarried at Reynolds Lake.

4 (2) LOCATION AND ACCESS McAuslan Township is located approximately 50 kilometers northnortheast of North Bay along the border between N.T.S. 31-L/ll and 31-L/14. The area can be reached via highway 63 between North Bay, Ont. and Temiscaming, Quebec, then north along a bush road called the Mcconnell Lake Road for approximately 20 kilometers. PROPERTY One claim numbered is currently held by Mr. John Pilger R.R.#5 Orillia, Ont. L3V 6H5 This survey spent two days on this property and 3 days in the surrounding area. PREVIOUS WORK The area has been prospected for many years with production of decorative stone from quarries at Reynolds Lake and Three Trails Lake. The quarry at Reynolds Lake is still active. The reader is referred to the files located at the Minstry of Northern Development and Mines in Sudbury for a complete history of exploration in this area.....3

5 (3) REGIONAL GEOLOGY The area is located in the northern portion of the Central Gneiss Belt of the Grenville Province. This part of the belt is mainly underlain by metasediments and are represented as biotite, muscovite, quartzose and feldspathic gneisses. In Parkman Township iron formations are interbedded in the gneisses. Intruded into these rocks are gneissic felsic rocks consisting of quartz monzonites, granodiorit.es and trondhjemites and mafic rocks consisting of anorthosite, gabbro, diorite and amphibolite. To the west and southwest of the area the Mullock granite batholith is exposed over an area of about 530 square kilometers. Generally the rocks trend in a southeast direction but as they approach the Grenville Front Tectonic Zone they change to a northeast direction. TRAVERSE GEOLOGY Five days were spent doing reconnaissance geology in McAuslan Twp. The traverses are described below and are outlined on the accompan ying map at a scale of 1:20,000. A declination o f. 1 0 degrees west was used for the traverses. Traverse l - Day one was spent on claim north of Threetrails Lake. Stripping of outcrops exposed mainly quartzites and biotite gneisses. One outcrop area about 400' south and 200' east of #4 post of claim contained some fair concentations of greenish amblygonite. About 300' east another outcrop near the....4

6 (4) base of the hill contained good amblygonite over narrow widths. Traverse 2 - This traverse, on day two, was located along the east side of claim The hill is mainly covered with overburden but outcrops of quartzite and biotite gneiss were located. Along the west side of this hill a large angular piece of float (2'x4'xl') was found that contained excellent coarse amblygonite very similar as to that being quarried at Reynolds Lake. Further work in this general area failed to locate the source of this piece. Traverse 3 - The traverse on day 3 was located approximately one kilometer southeast of Threetrails Lake. Stripping and mapping along the two hills only uncovered gneissic hornblende granite. Traverse 4 - Day 4 was spent mapping a hill to the east of Threetrails Lake. Most of the hill was covered with thin overburden which gets thicker towards the south until no outcrop could be located. The rocks encountered were quartzites mainly on the west side of the hill and mixed quartzites and micaceous quartzites on the east side. A float boulder about 4"x 8"x l' was located along the west side of the hill and contained good amblygonite. This piece is similar to the stone that was quarried about l kilometer north. On the east side, a fault zone exposed near the base of the hill contained quartz veins and amblygonite. Tracing of this zone was unsuccessful due to overburden and talus.....5

7 (5) Traverse 5 - Day 5 was spent on a traverse to the east of Reynolds Lake. During the walk in several pits were quickly looked at that had been quarried for amblygonite and lepidolite. To the east of the patent claims the rocks on the first hill were biotite gneisses and quartzites. Some of the layers in the gneiss contains up to 1 0^ b iotite over a few feet. On the east facing slope of the hill narrow horizons of chert-jasper were found along with highly contorted beds of cherty rock further south and along the west side of a south flowing creek. These metasedimentary rocks may be part of an iron formation horizon located further north in Parkman Township. To the east of the creek the outcrops were quartzites and micaceous quartzites. The outcrop on the west sloping face of the hill contains several narrow horizons of a coarse white to pearly muscovite. A slight greenish colour to some layers may be caused from weak amblygonite mineralization. CONCLUSION The 5 day reconnaissance geology program in McAuslan Township was successful in locating several in-place potential sources of ambly gonite and in locating 2 float pieces containing good amblygonite. The sources of the float pieces are probably not the past or present quarries in the area. It is probable that several horizons in the metasediments exist that are potential sources for quarrying decorative stone. Intensive follow-up mapping should be able to locate new quarry sites..... b

8 (6) RECOMMENDATIONS The following program is recommended as a follow-up to the present program : (a) At least 2 claims be staked to cover the hill to the east of Threetrails Lake (Traverse 4). (b) At least another 5 days of reconnaissance geology should be conducted on the hills to the north, east and south of Reynolds Lake. A plugger and dynamite should be used on favourable locations to obtain fresh samples. (c) A backhoe should be used on claim to better expose the new amblygonite showings found and if the claims are staked to the east of Threetrails Lake it should also be used there. (d) Quarry permits should be applied for to cover all of the favourable sites and/or staking of claims.
