4 ... 2 INTRODUCTION This report describes the procedures and results of a reconnaissance vertical intensity magnetometer survey carried out for Second0 Mining Ltd. (N.P.L.) on the LUK mineral claims in the Port Hardy area of Vancouver Island. The survey was carried out by the author and one assistant during the period March 28, 1969 to April 8, The object was to detect and map any deviations in the magnetic field over the claims area which might indicate the presence of an intrusive body. Due to deteriorating snow conditions, only the LUK 1 to 28 claims could be surveyed. LOCATION AND ACCESS The LUK claims consist of 48 contiguous mineral claims situated (50 43'N 127O 38'W) 7 miles west of Port Hardy, B.C. Access is by logging road from Port Hardy. See copy of N.T.S. Sheet 92 L accompanying this report. PROPERTY The following constitute the LUK mineral claims: Claim Name Record Numbers LUK # GEOLOGY "he geology as suggested by a 1957 map, published by J. E. Muller from information mapped by G.S.C. and the B.C. Dept. of Mines and Mineral Resources, indicates the claim group is underlain by the Karmutsen Formation of the Vancouver Group. This formation strikes northwest and consists of basic volcanic rocks. Outcrop is less than 5% and where encountered it consisted of fine grained basic lava.

5 ......I3 MAGNETOMETER SURVEY The reconnaissance magnetometer survey was conducted with the possibility that such survey might indicate the presence of any sizeable granitic intrusives which are a possible pre-requisite for ore. The survey was controlled by two north-south baselines surveyed in by compass and chain. Traverses were east-west at 800 foot intervals with readings taken at marked stations every 200 feet. Each traverse was tied into a baseline station to enable diurnal corrections. The vertical magnetic field intensity, in gammas, recorded at each station, is shown on the map accompanying.this report. The survey covers LUK 1-28 claims. The magnetometers used for this survey were Geotronics Model 0100's. SURVEY RESULTS The survey indicates an area of low magnetic relief with 90% of the readings in the gamrange. The general trend of high relief in the southeast, decreasing to lower relief in the northwest, and a northwest lineation suggests that the trend may be due to the strike of the underlying volcanics. The east-west low in the north sector, although possibly valid, is suspect because all readings were taken during one traverse. If valid this linear could suggest a fault. However, an inspection of aerial photographs of the particular area revealed no evidence of faulting. anomalies. In conclusion, the magnetic survey reveals no encouraging
