T h o. Pettigrew Property consists of four mining claims located in Kamsey--Wr i ght township about 35 km northeast of Atikokan, Ontario. The showing was originally worked between 1898 and 1900 when a shaft war. sunk to about 100 feet and 60 feet of crosscutting was completed. Canico acquired the property in 1982 and carried out VI.F-EM, mag., and geological surveys. The property is underlain by gneissic trondhjemites of the Marmion Lake Batholith and mineralization is associated with a northeasterly trending lineament which cuts the batholith. The trondhjemite adjacent to the linea ment on claim TB 631380 is locally strongly sheared, carbonatized, chloritized and sericitized with minor amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Quartz veins are associated with the highly altered and sheared portions of the zone. Anomalous gold assays ranging from a few hundred ppb to a maximum of 2.24 ppm were obtained from the altered trondhjemite adjacent to the old workings.

l. O LOG AT K) N^ A^JVCCF^I S
The property is located (Fig. ]) in Ramsey--Wr i ght township about 35 km northeast of Atikokan, Thunder Bay Mining Division. Access to the claims is gai:ied off Highway 11 at Sapawe Junction. The Donitar~Woodlands haulage road passes through the property about: 24 km north of this junction.
2.O PROPERTY
2. 1 Claims
The property (Fig. 2) consists of 4 claims held by the Canadian Nickel Company Limited:
TB 631125; TB 631378-80 (incl.)
These, claims cover the former patented mining claims BG-24; BG-25; BG-36 and BG-37.
2.2 Gr idding
A baseline was established in an east-west direction along the southern boundaries of claims TB 631378 and TB 631379. A parallel offset baseline was also laid out along the northern boundary of TB 631125. From these baselines, crosslines were cut and chained perpendicular to the baselines at 100 m intervals. Pickets were planted at 25 m intervals along all lines.
The geological survey was carried out over the property between 22 July and 27 July, 1982.
3 .0 PREVIoyS EXPLORATION
3.1 Early Work
Pettigrew acquired the property from a prospector named King who had located quartz veins on the claims prior to 1898.
Exploration and development work on the property was carried out between 1898 and 1900 by the Seine River Syndicate Mining Company which had taken an option from Pettigrew. A description of the property (J. A. Bow, 1900) indicates that "A quartz vein several feet in width at surface but much larger underground occurs in the footwall and the hangingwall is marked by loose faulted ground and stringers of quartz.... On BG-24 a shaft (No. 2 shaft) 5 by 10 feet in size has been sunk vertically to a depth of 108 feet. It was commenced in the hangingwall and the reef was struck at a depth of 50 feet. At a depth of 100 feet a crosscut 5 by 7 feet has been driven southeast through the reef to the footwall, a distance of 64 feet.

On the footwall side 25 feet of quartz is passed through". No production figure? arc available and it is not certain if any actual production took place at this time. The No. l Shaft in the footwall of the Zone was sunk to a depth of about 25 feet (7.6 in) at about the same time.
In 1940 Sylvanite Gold Mines compiled some of the old data but it is not known if they carried out any exploration in the field.
In March 1974 the 4 patented mining claims were transferred to the Crown which held them until 26 April, 1982, when they were allowed to come open for staking. Canadian Nickel Company Limited acquired the property at this time.
^"^ Canico Geophysical Surveys
The magnetic survey outlined several eastwest striking linear anomalies ranging from about 100 to 1300 gammas above background. There was no obvious geological correlation with any of these anomalies.
The VLF-EM survey outlined a single, long, weak conductor which strikes approximately northeast - southwest across the property. The conductor corresponds with a linear topographic feature which is interpreted to mark a northeasterly trending fault zone.
4.0 GEOLOGICAL. SURVEY
4.1 Re g ional Geology
The Quetico Fault in the Atikokan area delimits the boundary of the Wabigoon subprovince and the Quetico subprovince of the Superior Structural Province. North of Atikokan the Wabigoon subprovince consists of narrow supracrustal volcanic belts intruded by the Marmion Lake and Dashwa Lake Batholiths. The former is about 25 km wide and extends east-northeast from Atikokan for about 100 km. It consists of a complex of trondhjemites, monzonites, diorites and amphibolites which can be subdivided into a marginal sheared phase and a central gneissic phase with local massive intrusions (Wilkinson, 1982, p. 7).
4.2 Local Geology
The property is located at the west central part of the Marmion Lake Batholith and is underlain by a gneissic trondhjemite (Fig. 3). The rock is commonly fairly fresh, grey in colour and medium to coarse grained with a distinctive gneissic fabric. Locally the trondhjemite has an igneous character or appears igneous with numerous'gneissic inclusions. Typical inclusions can be observed along the northeastern margin of the claims where they range in size from a few cm to about 3 metres. The gneissosity
- 4 -
of the. trondhjemite varies in strike from about 080 to 100 and commonly dips from about 60 to 70 north. Outcrop is fairly abundant on the property with the exception of the area underlain by the trace of the northeasterly trending lineament which is marked by topographic lows and swamps. The only outcrop which occurs along this lineament hosts the mineralized zone.
4.3 Minerali zation
Wilkinson (1982, p. 7) notes that the "Marmion Lake Batholith Type" gold occurrences are related to a set of north-northeasterly striking linea ments. He goes on to say (p. 9) that "the massive trondhjemites are progress ively altered with proximity to mineralization". This feature was not observed on the Pettigrew property although this may be a function of the lack of outcrop immediately around the mineralized area which is located in the southwestern corner of claim TB 631380. The outcrop hosting the mineraliz ation (Fig. 4) consists of a predominantly massive trondhjemite which is grey to pink or brown in colour depending upon the degree of alteration. The most strongly altered zone occurs in the southern half of the outcrop and strikes between 70 and 80 . THe major quartz veins are also located in this area and can be best observed near the No. l shaft and in the trenches at about2+60S/0+40E. *
In this vicinity the rock consists essentially of plagioclase and quartz with the plagioclase showing strong sericite alteration. In some of the thin sections sericite has also developed in narrow bands along planes probably associated with shearing along the lineament. The pale brown coloured alteration observed in hand specimens is due to the almost total alteration of pyrite to limonite and fresh pyrite is not commonly seen. Significant carbonate and chlorite alteration were noted only in RX 52798 from the northern part of the outcrop. The other samples showed no carbonate and only trace amounts of chlorite.
At the No. l shaft the quartz veins are associated with a schist consisting of a strongly sheared, carbonatized, chloritized and sericitized trondhjemite. The veins are about 30 cm wide in this location increasing in width to over 2 m in the trenches to the west of the No. l shaft. Only minor amounts of pyrite were noted to occur with the veins and the high content of pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite noted by Wilkinson (1982, p. 24) to occur in the hangingwall was not observed in outcrop at the No. l shaft although some fair amounts of sulphides can be found in the No. l shaft dump.
4.4 Results
Assay values from samples collected away from the altered outcrop (Fig. 4) were uniformly low, all reporting less than 5 ppb gold. Samples taken from the altered outcrop contain significantly anomalous gold although no ore grade assays were obtained. Values range from less than 5 ppb through several hundred ppb (KX 52795, RX 43693) to a maximum of 2.24 ppm (RX 52653). There is no apparent pattern to the distribution of the anomalous gold values although they do occur over a 100 m strike length of the lineament. A composite sample (RX 52787) collected from the No. 2 shaft waste dump assayed only 60 ppb gold.

Assay results indicate that, only a short distance- from the lineament gold values are very low whereas anomalous values are found along the whole length of the only outcrop on the lineament. It would be reasonable to expect that similar or better mineralized zones occur in sections which are not exposed on the lineament.
It is recommended that the mineral i ?,ed cutcrop be. drill tested and that the strike, extensions of this outcrop in overburden covered areas also be drilled.

LOCATION AND ACCESS
The property is located (Fig. 1) in Ramsey-Wright township about 35 km north east of Atikokan, Thunder Bay Mining Division. Access to the claims is gained off Highway H at Sapawe Junction. The Domtar-Woodlands haulage road passes through the property about 24 km north of this junction.
PROPERTY
Claims
The property (Fig. 2) consists of 4 claims held by the Canadian Nickel Company Limited:
TB 631125; TB 631378-80 (incl.)
These claims cover the former patented mining claims BG-24; BG-25; BG-36 and BG-37.
PREVIOUS EXPLORATION
Early Work
Pettigrew acquired the property from a prospector named King who had located quartz veins on the claims prior to 1898.
Exploration and development work on the property was carried out between 1898 and 1900 by the Seine River Syndicate Mining Company which had taken an option from Pettigrew. A description of the property (J.A. Bow, 1900) indicates that "A" quartz vein several feet in width at surface but much larger underground occurs in the footwall and the hangingwall is marked by loose faulted ground and stringers of quartz.... On BG-24 a shaft (No. 2 shaft) 5 by 10 feet in size has been sunk vertically to a depth of 108 feet. It was commenced in the hangingwall and the reef was struck at a depth of 50 feet. At a depth of 100 feet a crosscut 5 by 7 feet has been driven south- east through the reef to the footwall, a distance of 64 feet.
MAGNETOMETER SURVEY
Object of Survey
The main purpose of the magnetic survey was to outline basic and ultrabasic rock types and iron formation containing disseminated magnetic minerals such as magnetite and/or pyrrhotite located in areas covered with overburden.
The electromagnetic survey was done to outline ground conductors that might represent heavily mineralized sulphide zones which could be either magnetic or non-magnetic.
- 2 -
Procedure
The instrument used is a Sharpe MF-1 fluxgate magnetometer which measures the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field directly in gammas, positive or negative, over a range of 100,000 gammas. This hand held magneto meter requires no orientation and after coarse levelling the magnetic reading is recorded from a meter mounted on the top of the instrument.
In order to establish a network of reliable magnetic base staions the following procedure was used: Starting from 00-00 all the base line stations at grid line intersections were read twice, first going eastward from 00/00 to 700E and again when returning westward to the starting point. These readings were then drift corrected to the first reading taken at 00/00 and the average of each set of readings was plotted.
Magnetic diurnal variations were determined by regular tie-ins to the base reference stations usually at intervals of less than one hour. Grid line magnetic readings were then drift corrected to the magnetic base station values making all magnetometer readings relative to the first reading taken at 00-00. Readings were taken at 12.5 meter station intervals and all readings were recorded on the 3K instrument range scale.
ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEY
Procedure
The VLF electromagnetic instrument used for this survey is Inco designed and built. This unit is simply a sensitive radio receiver tuned to selected VLF transmitter station frequencies. Parameters which may be measured by the Inco VLF unit are: (a) Dip of total magnetic field, (b) Horizontal field strength, (c) Vertical field strength, and (d) Relative quadrature component.
Principle of operation is as follows:
The VLF transmitting stations operating for radio communications with sub marines have a vertical antenna. The antenna current is thus vertical, creating a concentric horizontal magnetic field around them. When these mag netic fields meet conductive bodies in the ground, there will be secondary fields radiating from these bodies. This equipment measures the vertical components of these secondary fields.
Power output of the VLF transmitting stations varies from 50 to 1000 kilowatts and frequencies utilized range from 15.1 to 24.8 kilo hertz.
Except for two small water covered areas the four claims involved were com pletely surveyed electromagnetically at 25 meter station intervals. The trans mitting station used is "NAA Cutler, Maine" operating at 17.8 Khz with power output of 1000 Kw. Only the dip of the total magnetic field was measured and recorded. Readings are plotted in profile form and a conductor axis is indicated when EM readings cross the grid line from west to east while the operator is traversing southward.
- 3 -
SURVEY DATA
Line cutting, chaining, magnetic and electromagnetic surveying were all carried out. by two employees of Inco during the period July 10 to July 18, 1982. Inco personnel involved stayed in a motel in Atikokan and travelled to and from work daily by truck.
Grid lines are apaced at 100 meter intervals and chainage pickets were measured in at 25 meter distances along the grid lines.

SURVEY RESULTS
Magnetic
Magnetic survey results are shown on a single plan drafted on a scale of 1:2500 (meters). Magnetic readings are plotted in gamma values relative to an arbitrary base station value of 1455 gammas located at 00-00. Magnetic contour line intervals are. as follows:
100 gammas - light solid line 500 gammas - heavy dashed line
1000 gammas - heavy solid line
Two or more, weak, positive, linear or lenticular shaped anomalies occur within each claim. Strength of these weak anomalies varies from 4100 to +1300 gammas above magnetic background and the strike direction of these zones is generally east-west.
Electromagnetic
VLF electromagnetic survey results are also shown on a single, plan on a scale of 1:2500. Readings are plotted in profile form and the number written at the station denotes the tilt angle in degrees positive or negative. Negative values are plotted on the east side of the section line and positive values are plotted to the west.
One long weak conductor was partly outlined following a topographic low and crossing the property diagonally in a NE-SW strike direction. Because of wet ground the actual crossover positions could not be determined on lines 2W, 4E and 5E but it appears certain the the conductor does cross these lines.
A -
Three random crossovers (indicated conductors) were recorded near the west boundary of the property and these occur in low wet ground.
CONCLUSION
The weak magnetic anomalies outlined might be caused by minor disseminations of magnetite in the underlying plutonic rock. There is no apparent correlation of magnetic anomaly with conductivity.
Wet swampy ground may be the cause of the VLF conductor traced, or another possibility is that the conductor and the low wet ground are both caused by a fault zone.

FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETER
A first order fluxgate type vertical com ponent magnetometer. Advanced transis torized circuitry and extensive temperature compensation is the core of its accuracy comparable to precision tripod mounted
Schmidt type magnetometers.
!t is a hand held instrument and needs only coarse levelling and no orientation. Features such as direct reading of gamma values and the possibility of accurate zero setting at base stations ensure simplicity
of operation and higher field economy.
The Model MF-1 Fluxgate Magnetometer is designed for accurate ground surveys in the mining industry as well as a basic component for air surveying by small aircraft. Technical data and comparison charts available on request.

Dear Madam:
Enclosed are two copies of a Notice of Intent with statements listing a reduced rate of assessment work credits to be allowed for a technical survey. Please forward one copy to the recorded holder of the claims and retain the other. In approximately fifteen days from the above date, a final letter of approval of these credits will be sent to you. On receipt of the approval letter, you may then change the work entries on the claim record sheets.
For further information, if required, please contact Mr. F.W. Matthews at 416/965-1380.

Notice of Intent
for Technical Reports
1983 09 14 2.5542/61
An examination of your survey report indicates that the requirements of The Ontario Mining Act have not been fully met to warrant maximum assessment work credits. This notice is merely a warning that you will not be allowed the number of assessment work days credits that you expected and also that in approximately 15 days from the above date, the mining recorder will be authorized to change the entries on his record sheets to agree with the enclosed statement. Please note that until such time as the recorder actually changes the entry on the record sheet, the status of the claim remains unchanged.
If you are of the opinion that these changes by the mining recorder will jeopardize your claims, you may during the next fifteen days apply to the Mining and Lands Commissioner for an extension of time. Abstracts should be sent with your application.
If the reduced rate of credits does not jeopardize the status of the claims then you need not seek relief from the Mining and Lands Commissioner and this Notice of Intent may be disregarded.
If your survey was submitted and assessed under the "Special Provision-Performance and Coverage" method and you are of the opinion that a re-appraisal under the "Man-days" method would result in the approval of a greater number of days credit per claim, you may, within the said fifteen day period, submit assessment work breakdowns listing the employees names, addresses and the dates and hours they worked. The new work breakdowns should be submitted direct to the Lands Management Branch, Toronto. The report will be re-assessed and a new statement of credits based on actual days worked will be issued.
