The fall and winter of 2005 willprobably go into the explorationrecord books as one of the
busiest in Ontario, ever. The demandon exploration contractors was evidentand the Ontario Prospectors Associationoffice had many requests for referencesand information. The spring and sum-mer look like they will continue withthis intensive exploration in search of afull spectrum of minerals.
The Ontario Prospectors Association,in cooperation with the Ontario Explo-ration Corporation, produced a “Properties for Option Booklet” thatcompliments our website postings. Thebooklet was distributed at the VancouverRoundup and through the ResidentGeologist’s offices. The response to thebooklet was great and one thing welearned was the need for more propertiesfor option. Prospectors will need a greatseason to fill the demand of the explo-ration companies for new properties.
The Discover Abitibi and the LakeNipigon Region Geoscience Initiativeare drawing to a close and the immensegeoscience databases developed arebeing extensively used by the industry.Both projects have spurred on claims tobe staked and review of previously identified prospects. These co-operativeprojects are made possible when govern-ment, industry and academia cometogether with a common goal of stimu-lating the economy. Hopefully theOntario Prospectors Association canbecome involved in these types of pro-jects again in the future.
The Ontario Prospectors Associationwishes everyone a bountiful explorationseason. ■

The Plan
At our last couple of meetings wehad some discussion aboutwhere we should go on our
annual fieldtrip. It came down to achoice between either Hemlo GoldMines or River Gold Mines, and after ashow of hands, it became pretty clearmost were interested in River Gold. Thequestion was really whether we’d be ableto manage an underground tour of theEagle River Mine. Everything rested onthe number of participants, so it wasdecided we would focus on a surfacetour and depending on the numberswe’d try to wrangle an undergroundtrip. It had been suggested that two bot-tles of Scotch could do the trick, so afterminor deliberation on who was to dowhat, Bud Clavet opted to buy the alco-holic refreshments, while Viv wouldacquire munchies and other foodstuff.Unlike the last couple of years, ourrental van driver was not available, so wedoubled-up and made our way up toNorthern Lights Motel near Wawa inseparate vehicles and then early the nextmorning headed into the MishibishuLake area.

fieldtrip could not be better. Driftingon the 540 metre level had intersectedthe two high-grade zones discoveredduring development drilling in 2003.These new ore zones had values of upto 146 g/t over 4.7 metres and 107 g/tover 5.5 metres. These kinds of oregrades, along with some tidbits ofinformation about a new “style” ofhigh-grade gold mineralization occur-ring within a breccia, made us keenlyinterested in picking up a few samplesand seeing for ourselves.
A Bit of HistoryThe Mishibishu Lake area was quite
active during the late 1980s with muchof the greenstone belt staked and active-ly explored for gold. As a result of theexploration effort, several gold depositswere discovered. The Magnacon depositwas brought into production in 1989and a gold mill built to process the ore.Just to the west of Magnacon, the Mishideposit was delineated and a small openpit was developed. Fifteen kilometressouth of the Magnacon and Mishideposits, the Eagle River deposit wasdiscovered and developed. In the early1990s the price of gold floundered andthe mines and mill were shut down.
In 1994, River Gold Mines Limited

was created to consolidate ownershipand bring the Eagle River Mine intoproduction. Most recently, River Goldhas brought the Mishi deposit into pro-duction and has dewatered the Magna-con Mine with the intent of increasingadditional ore reserves.
A Bit of GeologyOn our arrival at the mine site we
were met by George Mannard, VicePresident, Exploration for River GoldMines Ltd. We circled around the draft-ing table while George gave us a detailedoverview of the mineralized zones, wherewe were going, and the kinds of assaysthat had been found within the areasunder development. We then headed offto the core shack where both Georgeand Charlie gave an overview of thegeology and the exploration being doneon their large property holdings. Thedrill core on display was a sectionthrough the new 818 Zone.
Notably, the mineralized shear zonehosting the Eagle River gold depositextends well past the east and west endsof the diorite stock - into the green-stones. Some interesting gold prospectshave been discovered, including a min-eralized iron formation to the west andgold-bearing quartz veins to the east.
The Eagle River OrebodyThe Eagle River orebody consists of a
series of near vertically dipping quartzveins and lenses hosted mostly in asheared diorite host rock. The ore zonesconsist of thicker sections of veins andlenses that plunge steeply to the east.The veins have been traced over a strikelength of 2.5 kilometres and to a depthof 650 metres. Typically the vein-typeore consists of quartz veins separated byschistose sections of sheared diorite.

Sulphide minerals generally occur alongthe quartz-schist contact and theseappear to contain the higher grades of gold.
Most recently a new ore type wasdiscovered, referred to as breccia-typeore, consisting of variable-size fragmentsof sheared and mineralized vein materialcontained within a quartz-calcite-feldspar matrix. The mineralized brecciahas only been found in the lower levelsof the deposit and appears to occur asbreccia veins in close association withthe main vein-type ore.

Folks may not remember, but thenearest comparison to the Eagle Rivergold deposit both in size and style ofmineralization in the Wawa area was theRenabie Mine. The Renabie producedover one million ounces during a life-time that spanned over 25 years.

continued richness of the gold mineral-ization with depth and the longer termviability of this gold mine.
The Surface TourWhen it comes to access to the sur-
face exposures of orebodies, you cannotfind much better than a good accessroad directly over the surface expressionof the 650 Zone. We simply drove upand stepped out of the vehicles - eventhe bugs were not that bad! Here we hadan opportunity to see how it all fitstogether. The folded and thickenedquartz veins and lenses are containedwithin a shear zone that occurs at thecontact between diorite and mafic vol-canics. The 650 Zone is at the easternedge of the diorite stock which hostsmost of the vein system.
It is possible to walk from south tonorth through unsheared mafic volcanicrocks, to sheared mafic volcanics, foldedquartz veins with sheared slivers of dior-ite and/or mafic volcanic, to sheareddiorite and then unsheared diorite. Agood lesson in geology!
The Eagles NestAfter such an “exhaustive” day in the
field, George Mannard invited us toshare in some refreshments at the EaglesNest. This is the location at the top ofthe hill where the original drill programwas completed by Hemlo Gold Mines.
The 818 ZoneThe 818 Zone is dominated by brec-
cia-type ore, containing fragments rang-ing from a few centimetres in size up toa metre. Fragments of various sizes havea “splintered” appearance, having beenbroken along their length or shear fabricand then variably rotated. These zonesof brecciation are also characterized bythe presence of disseminated epidotealteration which is noted in drill core asthe wall rocks and the mineralized brec-cia are intersected.
Other breccia veins were noted with-in the 818 Zone consisting of wall rockfragments contained in a predominantlycalcite matrix with associated hematite-rich seams. This secondary breccia typeforms large cavities and its relationshipto the mineralized breccia-type ore isuncertain (Keweenawan age?).
The 650 ZoneThe 650 Zone is more typical of the
classic vein-type ore that has providedthe main stay for River Gold Mines forthe last eight years producing 517,000ounces of gold from 1.8 million tonnesof ore at a recovered grade of 9.1 gramsof gold per tonne. Proven and probablereserves at Eagle River currently stand at1,268,000 tonnes at 10 grams pertonne. High-grade intersections of 146g/t over 4.7 metres and 50 g/t over 2.3metres in the 650 Zone attest to the

There is a feeling of rebirth in theKirkland Lake gold camp as evi-denced by a marked increase in
exploration spending. Seven junior resourcecompanies are active in the camp, all withdiamond drilling programs planned for2005.

Current excitement in the camp is centered around
the activity of Kirkland Lake Gold who is forecasting
2005 gold production from their Macassa
operation at 100,000 oz. Combined with this
production, Kirkland Lake Gold is in the second
year of a $21 million exploration program targeting

for a major new discovery. And, as evi-denced from recent exploration activity,this could occur soon.
Located in northeastern Ontario thecamp has historically produced 37 mil-lion oz. of gold from 28 mines and nextto Timmins, is ranked as Canada’s second
most productive. Next year marks the100th year anniversary of the first golddiscovery in the camp where in 1906 thefirst prospectors in the area discoveredgold at Swastika on a property currentlyowned by Queenston. Although theSwastika Mine produced only a small
amount of gold, it started a rush into thearea that ultimately resulted in the devel-opment of world class deposits includingthe seven mines along the Kirkland LakeMain Break between 1913-1933, theUpper Canada Mine in 1938 and theKerr Addison Mine in 1937.

Current excitement in the camp iscentered around the activity of KirklandLake Gold who is forecasting 2005 goldproduction from their Macassa opera-tion at 100,000 oz. Combined with thisproduction, Kirkland Lake Gold is inthe second year of a $21 million explo-ration program targeting the potentialfor adding 14 million tonnes of ore. Aspart of the first year program, they havediscovered four new, north-south trend-ing high grade gold zones on their prop-erty, one of which is currently beingmined at a grade of 22 g/t. These north-south zones appear to have been over-looked in the past as the majority ofproduction in the camp comprised east-west trending ore bodies.
Another high profile player in thecamp is Queenston Mining. With landholdings comprising 138 km2 coveringa continuous 27 km length of a regionalgold structure referred to as the LarderLake Break, the Company holds thelargest land position in the camp. OnQueenston’s property, historical goldproduction from four mines (Sylvanite,Upper Canada, McBean and UpperBeaver) amounts to 3.4 M oz. Therealso exists seven gold deposits (UpperCanada, Anoki, Anoki South, McBean,Amalgamated Kirkland, 180 East,Upper Beaver) that contain measured
and indicated mineral resources of700,000 oz. (3.6 Mt averaging 6.1 g/t)and inferred mineral resources of850,000 oz. (4.8 Mt averaging 5.5 g/t).The past production and currentresources indicate the quality of Queen-ston’s land package assembled along theproven mine trends and the potentialfor new discoveries.
Queenston has been a constant land-mark in the camp over the past 20 years,with exploration efforts by the Compa-ny and various joint venture partnersleading to the discovery of four shallowgold deposits and eight new gold zones.
In 2005, Queenston has embarkedon a $3 million exploration initiative toexplore for the next tier of gold depositsalong the proven trends both near sur-face and at depth. This undertaking isthe largest exploration program by theCompany in the camp since its jointventure with Franco-Nevada MiningCorporation in 1996-97.
In the western portion of the campQueenston has formed two joint ventureson key groups of claims that cover thewestern projection of the Kirkland LakeMain Break. The “Main Break” is animportant gold structure in the campalong which seven mines have produced24 million oz. of gold.

The most significant explorationresults reported from this propertycame from development headings alongfour deep levels driven from the Macas-sa Mine in 1990 along a subsidiary goldstructure referred to as the “04 Break”.Here erratic gold values along the Breakwas encountered on each level and nearthe end of the program, 156 t of orewas mined from the 4750’ level averag-ing 18.5 g/t, producing 87 oz. of gold.The second 50%-50% joint venturewas formed with Kirkland Lake Goldon the Gracie West property. This prop-erty, lying adjacent to Kirkland LakeWest, has only experienced shallow sur-face exploration in the past along the“04 Break” with mixed results. Thecombined Kirkland Lake West and Gra-cie West properties provide Queenstonwith a 5 km exposure along the westernprojection of the 24 million oz. MainBreak corridor. The target of this year’swork is to explore for ore zones thatmay occur along both east-west and

along the Larder Lake Break. This pro-gram initially focused along a 2.5 kmsection on the Princeton property whereprevious work has outlined a green car-bonate horizon measuring 100 m wide.Green carbonate is the host rock at theadjacent McBean Mine (500,000 oz.)and at the 11 million oz. Kerr AddisonMine located 15 km to the east. In thethird hole of the program (PR-04-11) anew, deep gold zone was intersectedwithin a 65 m thick alteration horizonsome 750 m below surface. The newgold zone assayed 5.8 g/t over 5.3 m andwas largely carried by a high grade, 1.0
m interval assaying 30.6 g/t. This newzone resembles the graphitic ore zone atthe Kerr Addison Mine and will be thefocus of further drilling.
At the height of the 2005 explorationseason Queenston will have four drillsoperating and will complete an estimated40,000 m of drilling. The initial programwill be focused on the Kirkland LakeWest and Princeton properties and befollowed with drilling on the Amalgamat-ed Kirkland and Upper Beaver proper-ties. The Company will also return to asystematic, deep exploration drilling pro-gram along the Larder Lake Break which

in the past has led to deep discoveries atMcBean, Anoki, and Biroco.
As a result of the combined explo-ration efforts of Queenston, KirklandLake Gold and other juniors in the area,the Kirkland Lake camp is entering itsbusiest exploration period in years. Afocused exploration approach alongproven mine trends has recently beensuccessful in discovering world-classdeposits in the Red Lake, Timmins andCadillac gold camps. By applying thesame exploration philosophy the stake-holders in Kirkland Lake believe thatnow it is their time. ■

Spotlight onBase Metals - 2005
World prices of the principal base metal commodities(Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni) have nearly doubled since early2003. This positive price movement has raised the
investment profile of many of the mining companies active inOntario, particularly those holding strong base metal propertyportfolios. This increased investor interest is expected to resultin a significant increase in the exploration activity for basemetals in Ontario.
Commodity Production World (Tons) Ranking
Ni 11 million 2ndCu 15 million 13thAg (by-product) 1 billion ounces 15thZn 10 million 17th
Since the discovery of the rich Ni-Cu deposits of theSudbury district in the latter part of the 1800s, Ontario hasbecome Canada’s most important producer of copper andnickel (Table 1). Additional discoveries of world-class copperand zinc deposits in the Manitouwadge (1950s), Kidd Creek(1960s) and Sturgeon Lake (1970s) areas of Northern Ontariohave also contributed to the province’s base metal productionleadership position (Table 2).

metals. Lack of exploration for newsources of base metals, in particular forcopper, zinc, by-product silver, andlead, has accelerated the depletion ratesof these commodities. Exploration iscritical for Ontario and Canada toretain a leadership role in base metaldeposit discovery and production.
Although the Kidd Creek Mine,north of Timmins, remains Ontario’slone volcanogenic massive sulphide(VMS) producer, several important basemetal exploration projects in Ontarioworth noting are:• KWG and Spider Resources are
working in the McFaulds Lake areanear the western extremity of theJames Bay Lowlands. Drilling in theArchean basement rock belowPaleozoic cover returned significantbase metal values. Best dri l l ingresults returned 8.02 per cent Cuover 18.8 m and of 5.2 m grading4.38 per cent Cu, 4.80 per centZn, 0.39 g/t Au and 15.43 g/t Ag.Similar greenstone rock sequenceshave been observed to outcrop to thewest of this area.
• Canadian Golden Dragon ResourcesLtd. diamond drilling at its VanguardProspect, Shebandowan Belt, showedvalues up to 4.15 m grading 6.39per cent Zn, 1.89 per cent Cu,28.31g/t Ag, and 0.88 g/t Au.
• Tribute Minerals Inc. diamonddrilling at its Dixie Lake, Red LakeArea, showed values up to 2.6mgrading 6.69 per cent Zn, 0.34 percent Cu, and 5.01g/t Ag.
• Wallbridge Mining Company in BenNevis Twp., northeast of the KirklandLake Area, intersected 7.14 g/t Auand 5.48 percent Zn over 3.00 m indiamond drilling from a knownalteration and sulphide mineralizedsystem.
• Tribute Minerals Inc. recently acquiredthe Melchett Lake VMS Property,north of Nakina. The property hostsseveral occurrences of polymetallic Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au VMS s ty l emineralization. Selected grab samplesfrom the Relf Zone averaged 13.0 percent Zn, 1.2 per cent Pb, 0.26 percent Cu and 0.32 g/t Ag. The bestresults returned 19.1 per cent Zn, 2.2
per cent Pb, 0.4 per cent Cu, 0.56g/t Ag and 1.72 g/t Au.
• Freewest Resources Canada Inc. hasdiscovered high-grade massivebasemetal sulphides on its Sungoldproperty, west of Thunder Bay. Theoccurrence, which is associated with astrong, one kilometre-long airborneelectromagnetic conductor, returnedgrab sample grades of up to 12.49%copper and 10.01% zinc. Significantin-situ, heavily disseminated, stringer(footwall) and massive sulphidemineralization has to date been tracedintermittently over a minimum strikelength of 800 metres. ■
