hornblende with minor amounts of chlorite and possibly

scant magnetite. Owing to the fine texture of the

rock it was impossible to identify the light coloured :- . "j-.

minerals. This gneiss had the appearance .of altered

tuff. ' . '

The granite is a fairly fresh looking,

normal granite. The diabase, that was observed in ,

one outcrop where it had intruded the granite at

approximately ri^ht angles to -the 'general strike of

the gneissic formation, was a typical 'diabasic dike

material. The strike of the gneiss is east and west

to which the granite intrusions . seem to ,

The contacts between the granite and the gneiss are,,-

well defined and parallel to the gneissosity* '

A thorough examination, of the property

with special attention to the electric- anomalies

failed to reveal any shear g one s or mineralized zones

of any interest. The rock of .the property is ov.erlain

by a mantle of boulder clay with a loamy top soil,

There are two linear swamp areas that trend slightly

ea.ot of north as shown on the accompanying geological

plan. The depressions which caused these swamps to

Torrr may be the site of faulting, and the g^rietral

topography of the area would incline one to believe

they were continuations of regional faults or sub

sidiary faulting, but there is no criterion -by which.

a definite opinion could be formed. . ,. :

PAge Petroleum Limited,85 Richmond Street West, Room 102i|.,Toronto, Ontario

Gentlemen:

The following report describes the results

of the electrical resistivity survey conducted over the

group of 10 mining claims held by Paige Petroleum Limited

and located in the Manitouwadge Lake area, District of

Thunder Bay, Ontario. This survey was conducted by Oeo-

Technical Development Company Limited during the period

April 18th to 26th, 195U- The results obtained on this

survey are depicted on Plan No. l accompanying this report.

Summary and Hecommendations

The electrical resistivity survey Indicated

several structural features which should prove very help

ful in the further exploration of this claims group.

A north-east trending fault structure has been

interpreted as extending in a north-east direction through

the west portion of the property. This fault appears to

be offset by an east-west fault extending through the

central portion of the claims group.

Several anomalies showing quite low resistivity

readings were delineated by the resistivity work and are

interpreted as representing shearing or fracturing* These

zones all follow linear trends of relatively lower resistiv

ity and are identified on the accompanying Plan by the

letters "A", "B M , "C", "D", "E" and "P". The resistivity

readings obtained over some sections of these interpreted

-2-

sWar or fracture zones are sufficiently low to suggest

the presence of at least disseminated sulphide mineraliza

tion*

Other zones of low resistivity obtained through

out the surveyed area do not appear to be associated with

any strong structural features and could be the result of

topographic rather than geologic conditions.

It is recommended that the next step in the

exploration of this claims group be confined to a preliminary

geological examination and some prospecting concentrating

the work in the areas of lower resistivity. The north-

south traverse lines used for the electrical resistivity

survey should provide excellent control lines for this

work. Diamond drilling can best be planned after the

preliminary geological work.

In the event that overburden conditions make

surface examinations impractical, it is recommended that

limited diamond drilling be carried out in the northwest

corner of the property to cross-section the zones of low

readings outlined by the resistivity work.

Property

The property of Paige Petroleum Limited covered

by this report consists of 10 mining claims located in the

Manitouwadge Lake area, District of Thunder Bay, Port

Arthur Mining Division, Ontario. The claims group is

located in the northwest section of the Manitouwadge Lake

Sudbury Contact Hine s Limited.

The claims included in the group are further

described as follows: T.B. I|.8l6[|., I|8l65 and 14.8172 to

U8179 inclusive. .

Location and Access

The Manitouwadge Lake area is located approxi

mately 75 airline miles southeast of Geraldton, Ontario

and i^.0 airline miles northeast of Heron Bay. The area

is reached by air from either of the two points mentioned

above and various airway companies operate chartered

flights into Manitouwadge Lake as well as other small

lakes in the general vicinity. Helicopter service is

also available and is very useful for reaching properties

where there are no lakes suitable for landing standard

type aircraft.

A truck road constructed by companies engaged

in lumbering in the general area extends from Stevens, a

point on the Canadian National Railway, south to Camp 12

located in the west part of the Manitouwadge Lake area

mining camp* Several bush roads service the Immediate

area around Camp 12 and are suitable for truck travel.

The distance from Stevens to Camp 12 is approximately

30 miles. A winter road also extends north from Helmo

on the Canadian Pacific Railway and services logging

camps in the south part of the general Manitouwadge area*

"k-

~ The property of Paige Petroleum Limited can

be reached by a truck road extending east from Camp 12

and which passes within one-quarter of a mile to the

south of the Company's claims group. The distance from

Camp 12 to the property is approximately 8 miles.

Plans are underway to construct a Provincial

road into the Manitouwadge Lake area and railroad survey

crews are presently surveying a route for a rail line

into the area.

Topography

The topography of the claims group is quite

flat with a gentle slope to the north. The nature of

the topography does not suggest much outcrop but it is

quite possible that detailed prospecting will locate

rock exposures. A small stream flows in a southerly

direction through the claims group but it is not known

whether it maintains a flow of water during the summer

season.

general Geology

Very little information has been published on

the geology of the Manitouwadge Lake area. A limited

amount of reconnaissance work was conducted by the

Ontario Department of Mines and is shown on Map 14.1-J

"Heron Bay and White Lake Area" Sheet, published in

1932. This map accompanies XLI Annual Report of the

Ontario Department of Mines, Part IV, 1932.

The claims group discussed herein is located

immediately to the north of that part of the Manitouwadge

Lake area geologized by the Ontario Department of Mines

and shown on Map ^1-j*

Map lil-j shows a band of early Precambrian

volcanics from l to 2 miles wide extending in an east-

west direction through the Manitouwadge Lake area and

bounded to the north and south by an Algoman type granite.

The property of *aige Petroleum Limited is located about

three miles north or the contact as shown on this map*

The ore boditss found on the Geco Mines Limited property

are located on or near the north contact of this volcanic

assemblage. However, preliminary examinations of the

Lun-Echo Mines Limited ground show that the copper-zinc

mineralization is not confined to this one contact zone*

It is quite possible that more detailed

geological work will show the presence of other greenstone

horizons in the general area.

Explanation of Resistivity Method

The method used by Geo-Technical Development

Company Limited is a form of the earlier resistivity

methods modified by some eight years' experience in the

field.

In essence, a known current is put into the

ground and readings are taken at 50 foot intervals along

the picket lines by sensitive vacuum tube voltmeters

GEO -TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED

Page 17: 4aF*4NW8829 63.454 MANITOUWADGE LAKE 010€¦ · The ore bodies found on the Qeco Hlft^a Limited property are located on or near the north * contact of this volcanic assemblage* However,

-6-

"measuring the voltage drop across this interval. Calcu

lations translate these voltage readings into resistance

values in terms of ohm-centimeters. These are plotted

on the map.

Due to the inhomogeneity of the medium being

examined, in short, the complexity of the geology and

structure, interpretations are based on experience and

a knowledge of the geological conditions in the area being

tested with this particular method. Where the latter are

unknown, the interpretation must, of necessity, be limited

or very tentative.

However, without any geological information it

is generally possible to differentiate between banded

rocks such as volcanics, sediments or gneiss and large

bodies of massive intrusives, due to the difference of

electrical conductivity between the various flows or

beds. Strike trends, folding, etc., are therefore readily

picked up. In some cases, rock contacts may be inferred.

Shear or fracture zones are relatively better

conductors due to their higher water content. Where

extreme low resistivity values are found, graphite or

sulphides are indicated. Graphite is found in schist

or shear zones or sedimentary horizons, nhich are shown

by electrical methods as, generally, narrow low linear

trends. Unfortunately, from the point of view of inter

pretation, sulphides may be present with the graphite or

may occur in shear zones giving similar low linears.

The results of the electrical resistivity

survey conducted over the property of Paige Petroleum

Limited located in the Manitouwadge La* e area, Ontario,

are depicted on Plan No. l accompanying this report.

The results of this survey can be considered

encouraging and several structural features were delin

eated which should serve as a very useful guide in the

further exploration of this property.

The contour plan of the electrical resistivity

results shows a definite break in the east-west structural

trend which is believed to be a result of north-east fault

ing. This fault structure is also suggested by topographic

lineaments which stand out quite sharply in aerial photo

graphs of the area. The resistivity survey suggests this

north-east faulting to be offset about 800 feet by an

east-west fault. The movement along the east-west fault

appears to be left-hand.

The resistivity survey has Indicated several

east-west conducting zones following linear trends of

relatively lower resistivity and interpreted as repre

senting shearing or fracturing. The most significant

of these zones are identified on the accompanying Plan

by the letters "A", "B", "C", "D", "E" and "F". Low

resistivity readings obtained over some of these zones

suggest the presence of at least disseminated sulphide

mineralization.

The "A", "B", "C" and "D" shear zones are

located west of the interpreted north-east trending

fault and cut off quite sharply against it. The "E"

and "P" zones are located east of the fault in the

northeast part of the property. These two structures

are somewhat weakly defined and probably represent

fracturing rather than shearing. The fact that they

do not appear to be continuous along strike tends to

confirm the presence of fracturing rather than shearing.

A broad zone of low resistivity underlies a

large part of Claims T.B. l±Bl6l± and Ij.8l7li. The broad

nature of this zone of low readings suggests topographic

influences, although the low reading obtained on Line

28 4 00 E stands out quite sharply and could be caused

by geologic rather than topographic conditions. It is

possible that a zone of fracturing extends through

this area but the extent to which it would influence

the resistivity readings is somewhat masked by topo

graphic effects.

Other minor anomalous conditions observed

throughout the ai rveyed area could, in part, be caused

by weak fracturing but are believed to be the result of

topographic influences.

Survey Data

An electrical resistivity survey was conducted

over the property of Paige Petroleum Limited located in

the Manitouwadge Lake area, District of Thunder Bay,

Ontario.

The survey was conducted by Geo-Technical

Development Company Limited during the period April l8th

to 26th, 195U* and the results are shown on Plan No. l

accompanying this report*

An east-west base line was established through

the central part of the property and north-south traverse

lines were turned off at lj.00 foot intervals. Electrical

resistivity readings were taken at 50 foot intervals along

these north-south traverse lines. These readings are shown

on Plan No. l to the east of the traverse lines and areIj.

expressed in ohm-centimetera x 10 .

A total of 6.614. nil's of line were surveyed by

the electrical resistivity method which required 66^ station

readings. The claims covered by the electrical resistivity

survey are numbered T.B. I;8l6fy, 1^.8160 and i|8l?2 to 1^.8179

inclusive.
