1 l NTRODUCT l ON 53ce7N*eei HEWITT LAKE 0 10 MAGNETIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEYS WERE CARRIED OUT ON THE JO C LAIM PROPERTY OF MADSEN RtTD LAKE GOLD Ml ME. S LIMITED DURING JANUARY AND FEBRUARY OF THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED NEAR BLACK BEAVER LAKE, IN THE NORTH SPIRIT LAKE AREA or NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO, SOME 110 MILES NNF. OF THE: RED LAKE GOLD MINING CAMP. LOCATION MAPS ARE INCLUDED IN THE MAP WHICH ACCOMPANIES THIS REPORT. SU MARV )' u; ULTIS FOUR MAIN MAGNETIC HIGHS AMD LIGHT SETS OF CONDUCTORS WERE LOCATED OY THE SURVEYS. THESE ARE SHOWN AS COLOURED CONTOUR INTERVALS AND AS CONDUCTORS "A" TO "h" ON THE ACCOMPANYING MAP. FOUR DIAMOND DRILL HOLE S- ARE SUGGESTED TO TEST THE- MOST INTERESTING ANOMALOUS INDICATIONS, AND THESE ARE ALSO SHOWN ON THE MAP.

2 - 2 ~ L.PI. J3 URV EY THE MAGNETIC READINGS WERE TAKEN W l T H A McPHAR FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETER, READABLE TO 5 GAMMAS. THE READINGS WERE CORRECTED TOR DIURNAL AND DAY-TO-DAY EFFECTS, AND AN ADDITIONAL ORIENTATION CORRECTION WAS NEEDED IN THIS SURVEY BECAUSE OF THE VERY LARGE MAGNETIC ATTRACTION IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE CLAIMS. THE CORRECTED READINGS ARE SHOWN ON THE MAP, TOGETHER WITH THE MAGNETIC CONI OURS. THE ELECTROMAGNETIC READINGS WERE TAKEN WITH A RONKA EM 16 UNIT, USING THE TRANSMITTER STATION AT ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND, AT 21,400 CYCLES PER SECOND. READINGS OF THE DIP ANGLE OF THE RESULTANT FIELD ARE PLOTTED ON THE MAP, IN PROFILE, TOGETHER WITH THE LOCATIONS OF THE INTERPRETED CONDUCTORS. THE PANAMA TRANS MITTER, AT 24,000 CPS, WAS USED AS AN ALTERNATIVE STATION AND A CHECK STAT l ON. ALL THE READINGS WERE TAKEN ALONG PICKET LINES CUT AT 400 FOOT SPACING AND PICKETED AT 100 FOOT INTERVALS. THESE LINES AND THE CONTROLLING BASE LINE ARE SHOWN ON THE MAP. SNOW DEPTHS AT THE TIME OF SURVEY WERE ~5\ F EET. THE CONDUCTORS WERE CHECKED WITH SHARPE SE 250 ELECTROMAGNETIC EQUIPMENT, AT.1,000 CPS, AND THE CHECK PROFILES ARE ON THE MAP. NO ROCK OUTCROP WAS SEEN DURING THE SURVEY, BUT THOSE PLACES WHICH PROBABLY SHOW ROCK EXPOSURE WHEN THE SNOW 'IS GONE ARE MARKED ON THE MAP.

3 "3 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS THE MAJOR MAGNETIC FEATURE IS A NARROW HIGH STRETCHING FROM THE NORTH BOUNDARY SOUTHEASTERLY INTO THE PROPERTY FOR ABOUT 11; MILES. THIS ANOMALY IS ALSO CONDUCTIVE. IT IS SHOWN ON THE MAP AS ANOMALY "A". THE ANOMALY IS BROKEN INTO SEGMENTS, VERY LIKELY BY FAULTING. THE APPROXIMATE POSITIONS OF THE INFERRED FAULTS ARE ALSO SHOWN ON THE MAP. THE MAGNETIC PEAKS ARE IN THE 2,000 TO 7 j 000 GAMMA RANGE. THESE ARE PROBABLY TOO HIGH TO SUGGEST A PYRRHOTITE SOURCE, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES PYRRHOTITE IN MASSIVE AMOUNTS CAN CAUSE PEAKS IN THIS RANGE. MASSIVE PYRRHOTITE, HOWEVER, WOULD DISPLAY STRONG CONDUCTIVITY, AND THE 1,000 CPS EM CHECK WORK DOES NOT INDICATE STRONG CONDUCTIVITY. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE MAGNETIC ANOMALY IS CAUSED BY A LEAN IRON FORMATION WHICH ALSO CARRIES CONDUCTIVE AMOUNTS OF SULFIDES. ANOTHER MAGNETIC HIGH LIES AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. IT HAS AN EAST-WEST TREND, ACROSS THE GENERAL STRIKE OF THE ROCK FORMATIONS, AND IT EXTENDS INTO THE CLAIMS ADJOINING TO THE EAST. PEAKS ARE IN THE 2,000-3,000 GAMMA RANGE. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THIS ANOMALY IS A BASIC INTRUSIVE. TWO OTHER SMALLER MAGNETIC ANOMALIES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE "B" AND "p" CONDUCTORS. EXACT CORRELATION DOES NOT EXIST, IN EITHER CASE. PEAKS ARE ABOUT 2,300 GAMMAS IN THE "F" AREA, AND 5,300 GAMMAS IN THE "o" AREA. BOTH LIE VERY NEAR ONE OF THE POSTULATED FAULTS. T IS CONCLUDED THAT BOTH ARE DUE TO MAGNETITE DEPOSITION ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEARBY FAULT.

4 ~ 4 ~ jspio F^JlESyLT^ ( C o N T ' D ) THE MAJOR ELECTROMAGNETIC FEIATURE IS THE CONDUCTOR "A" WHICH CORRELATES WITH THE MAJOR MAGNETIC ANOMALY. AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED, IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THIS CONDUCTOR IS CAUSED BY SULFJDES ACCOMPANYING A LEAN MAGNETITE- BEARING IRON FORMATION. SINCE PYRITE IS THE MOST COMMON SULFIDE IN THE REGION, IT IS STATISTICALLY CORRECT THAT PYRITE IS THE MOST LIKELY SOURCE OF THE " A " C ON DUCT l V l T Y. HOWEVER, GOLD-BEARING ARSENOPYRITE is KNOWN TO ACCOMPANY PYRITE AT NORTH SPIRIT LAKE, AND OTHER SULFIDES SUCH AS CHALCOPYRITE AND SPHALERITE ALSO ARE KNOWN TO OCCUR. FOR THIS REASON, AND BECAUSE OF THE CONSIDERABLE LENGTH OF THE ANOMALOUS 2ONE SUGGESTING IMPORTANT TONNAGE POTENTIAL, A DRILL HOLE IS SUGGESTED TO TEST THE ANOMALY. THIS HOLE IS SHOWN ON THE MAP AS HOLE NO. j5, AND IT IS LOCATED AT A POINT. WHERE CONDUCTIVITY IS STRONG AND NEAR ONE OF THE INFERRED FAULTS. CONDUCTOR "B" is OF MODERATE STRENGTH, IT HAS A LENGTH OF ABOUT 1,200 FEET, IT PARALLELS A PAIRED MAGNETIC HIGH, AND IT LIES NEAR AN OUTCROP AREA CONTAINING AN 01.0 PICKET LINE AND RANDOM TREE BLAZES, SUGGESTING A MINERAL SHOWING NEARBY. HOLE NO. 1 IS SUGGESTED TO TEST THIS CONDUCTOR AND ALSO THE MAGNETIC HIGH TO THE WEST. THE LOCATION OF THE HOLE SHOULD BE CHANGED TO INCLUDE A TEST OF THE SHOWING, IF THERE IS ONE. THE DETAILS OF THE FOUR SUGGESTED DRILL HOLES ARE L l STED i N APPENDI x ONE.

5 ~ p ~ CONDUCTOR "c" LIES WEST OF THE "A" ANOMALY. IT i s NOT MAGNETIC. IT SHOWS GOOD DEFINITION IN'THE RONKA EM 16 WORK, BUT THE 1,000 CPS WORK DOES NOT CONFIRM IT*S PRESENCE. IT IS THEREFORE A QUEST i ONAB LE FEATURE. IT DOES HAVE A GOOD LENGTH, 1,200 FEET, AND IT LIES BETWEEN TWO OF THE FAULTS. l CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS A FAIR CHANCE THAT IT REPRESENTS A PARALLEL FEATURE TO THE MAIN "A" ANOMALY SYSTEM WHICH MAY BE DIFFERENTLY MINERALIZED THROUGH LATER OR EARLIER SULFIDE DEVELOPMENT, AND AS SUCH IT IS WORTH A SHORT DRILL HOLE TEST. HOLE NO. 2 IS SUGGESTED. CONDUCTOR "o" is SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO "c", THOUGH SHORTER AND OF WEAKER CONDUCTIVITY. IT IS NOT CONFIRMED BY 1,000 CPS WORK. A SLIGHT MAGNETIC HIGH PARALLELS IT TO THE WEST. SOME ROCK EXPOSURE SEEMS TO EXIST IN THE AREA, AND IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THIS CONDUCTOR SHOULD BE CAREFULLY PROSPECTED. THE "E" CONDUCTORS, FOUR IN NUMBER, ARE QUITE WEAK FEATURES NOT SUPPORTED BY THE 1,000 CPS CHECK WORK. THREE OF THEM ARE PROBABLY OF NO IMPORTANCE, BUT THE FOURTH SEEMS TO BE MORE DEFINITE, IS SLIGHTLY MAGNETIC, AND MAY LIE NEAR A GRANITE CONTACT. HOLE NO. 4 IS SUGGESTED. THE "F" CONDUCTOR IS VERY WEAK AND IS NOT CONFIRMED BY THE 1,000 CPS CHECK WORK, IT ANGLES ACROSS A MAGNETIC HIGH. IT MAY BE A FAULTED SEGMENT OF THE "G" CONDUCTOR SYSTEM, BUT IT*S ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS SUGGEST OTHER WISE. IT IS PROBABLY DUE TO OVERBURDEN CONDUCTIVITY. THE "G" CONDUCTORS ARE DEEP-SEATED FEATURES OF WEAK CONDUCTIVITY. THEY ARE PROBABLY FAULTED SHEAR ZONES.

6 ~ 6 ~ - O N^OFJRE SU ^T S ( C o N T ' D ) THE "H" CONDUCTORS ARE ALSO DEEP-SEATED FEATURES, THEY TREND MORE E A ST -WE ST ER L Y THAN THE OTHER CONDUCTORS, AND APPEAR TO BE INFLUENCED IN THEIR DIRECTION BY THE INTERPRETED BASIC INTRUSIVE AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. THEY ARE ALSO APPARENTLY FAULTED BY THE SAME BREAK THAT SEPARATED THE "G" CONDUCTORS. T IS CONCLUDED THAT THE "H" CONDUCTORS ARE SHEAR ZONES. IN SUMMARY, THE INTERESTING CONDUCTORS SEEM TO BE THE "A", "B", "C 11, "D", AND ONE OF THE "E" CONDUCTORS. THE AREA GEOLOGY IS SHOWN ON A MAP INCLUDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING MAP. THIS INFORMATION IS TAKEN FROM MAP 47G OF THE ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF MINES, BY J, D. BATEMAN. THE CLAIMS ARE UNDERLAIN BY SEDIMENTARY FORMATIONS OF THE TIMISKAMING TYPE, DESCRIBED AS INTERBEDDED GREYWACKE, SLATE, AND ARKOSE, LOCALLY ALTERED TO AMPHIBOLITE, PHYLLITE, MICA SCHIST, AND SERICITE SCHIST. A BAND OF CONGLOMERATE LIES ALONG THE EAST BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY, FOLLOWED ON THE EAST BY VOLCANIC LAVAS WHICH ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE MASSIVE REGIONAL GRANITES. LARGE AREAS OF MAGNETITE-BEARING IRON. FORMATION LIE TO THE NORTH OF THE CLAIMS, AND A SMALLER TONGUE OF THIS MATERIAL LIES TO THE EAST. THE STRUCTURAL SETTING IS NOT WELL KNOWN. DIPS ARE INFREQUENT, BUT MAINLY VERTICAL.

7 7 - LOG AT l ON AN p.. ACCESS THE CLAIMS ARE LOCATED ONE MILE WEST Of BLACK BEAVER LAKE, SHOWN ON SOME MAPS AS MAKATAIAMIK LAKE, WHICH LIES 110 MILES NNE OF RED LAKE AND FIVE MILES SOUTHEAST OF SOUTH BAY ON NORTH SPIRIT LAKE. THE LOCATION ts SHOWN.ON THE TWO LOCATION MAPS INCLUDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING MAP. ACCESS IS BY AIRCRAFT FROM RED L AKE, O NTARIO. BLACK BEAVER LAKE is LARGE ENOUGH FOR ALMOST ANY SKI OR FLOAT-EQUIPPED AIRCRAFT. A CHARTER TRIP FROM RED LAKE BY NORSEMAN AIRCRAFT COSTS ^187.00, AND BY CESSNA AIRCRAFT THE COST i s {JJ CLAIM. DEIAlLS i TH.E PROPERTY CONTAINS 30 CLAIMS, ALL HELD BY MADSEN RED LAKE GOLD MINES LIMITED, THE CLAIMS ARE REGISTERED IN THE RED LAKE MINING DIVISION, AND THE CLAIMS NUMBERS ARE: KRL TO KRL 61442, BOTH INCLUSIVE, AND KRL TO KRL , BOTH INCLUSIVE. THE LOCATIONS OF THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS ARE SHOWN ON THE MAP, AND CLAIM MAP M 2919 OF THE ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF MINES ALSO ACCOMPANIES THIS REPORT, HJSTORY. OF EXPl.ORAT r ION EVIDENCE EXISTS OF PREVIOUS SURFACE PROSPECTING AND PERHAPS TRENCHING ON THE CLAIMS. THREE OLD PICKET LINES OR SURVEY LINES ARE SHOWN ON THE MAP, No FORMER GRID OF LINES EXISTS, NOR WERE ANY DRILL ROADS OR DRILL SETUPS SEEN.

8 ~ 8 - THE SURVEYS WERE CARRIED OUT DURING THE PERIOD JANUARY 21ST TO FEBRUARY 28TH, 1969, THE TOTAL LINECUTTING MILEAGE is MILES. THE McPHAR MAGNETOMETER USED HAS A SCALE CONSTANT OF 20 GAMMAS PER SCALE DIVISION, AND IS READABLE TO 5 GAMMAS, THE RONKA EM 16 ELECTROMAGNETIC UNIT HAS A SCALE CONSTANT OF ONE DEGREE PER SCALE DIVISION, AND CAN BE READ TO -g- DEGREE. 1,200 MAGNETIC READINGS AND 1116 ELECTROMAGNETIC READINGS WERE TAKEN DURING THE SURVEYS. THE MAIN MAGNETIC BASE CONTROL POINT LOCATION IS SHOWN ON THE ACCOMPANYING MAP. CONCLUSJ.C)N!3 1. FOUR MAIN MAGNETIC HIGHS AND EIGHT CONDUCTORS OR SETS OF CONDUCTORS WERE LOCATED BY THE TWO SURVEYS. 2. FIVE OF THE ANOMALOUS INDICATIONS ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE POSSIBLE ECONOMIC INTEREST. J), F OUR DIAMOND DRILL HOLES ARE SUGGESTED.
