SUMMARY

The 161 claim Manitou Straits property is located on the southwestern end of

Lower Manitou Lake. The property is underlain by an Early Precambrian southwesterly trending sequence of metamorphosed mafic to felsic volcanic rocks intruded by mafic sills.

The property is on strike with four gold prospects. The Gaffney deposit, four miles northeast of, and on strike with the Manitou Straits property, has recently undergone an intensive drill programme by a Teck Corporation - Noxe Petroleum Corporation joint venture. Estimates of possible gold reserves prior to recent drilling were as high as 621,000 tons of material grading 0.22 oz gold per ton (Neilson and Bray, 1981).

The Gold Standard North, Sairy Gamp, and Gold Standard South prospects are four, four and one-half, and five miles respectively to the southwest of the property. Each of these prospects were worked near the turn of the century and developed with exploration shafts.

In early 1984, a 400' line grid was established on the property and magnetometer and V.L.F.E.M. surveys were conducted. Several magnetic and V.L.F.E.M. anomalies were outlined. Many of the magnetic anomalies are similar in intensity to the anomaly over the Gaffney gold deposit.

Geological mapping was carried out in conjunction with the geophysical surveys. Several geologically and geophysically promising areas have been identified. Detailed prospecting of these selected areas is recommended for the 1985 field season.

INTRODUCTION

The Manitou Straits property is underlain by Early Precambrian metavolcanic

rocks and actually straddles a major transition in the volcanic rock chemistry

from tholeiitic to mixed calc alkaline and tholeiitic. This boundary between

oceanic volcanics and an overlying stratovolcano is typically the locus of many

Early Precambrian gold deposits. In the Manitou Lakes area, the Gaffney deposit

occurs at such a contact and numerous other gold occurrences are found in close

proximity to this horizon (Burton & Hodge, 1984).

Magnetic, V.L.F.E.M., and geological surveys were conducted during the 1984

field season. The geophysical surveys were performed in an attempt to outline

zones of geological interest and mineralization. The results of the geological

survey is presented in this report.

Locations and Access

The property is located near the southern end of Lower Manitou Lake

approximately 40 miles south of Dryden, and 40 miles north of Fort Frances,

Ontario (Figure 1). Highway 812 passes approximately 5 miles east of the

property.

Access may be obtained by float or ski equipped aircraft available in both

Dryden and Fort Frances. Boat or snowmobile may also be used to reach the

property from Esox Lake located 20 miles to the south and accessable by logging

roads from Hwy. 812.

Several radio telephones are available at tourist camps and private cabins

around the lake. A barge service is available on the lake for transportation of

heavy equipment, and a seasonal helicopter base is maintained at camp Beaverhead

8 miles northeast of the claim group.

)_ography and Vegetation

Approximately 30 percent of the property is covered by water. The remainder of the property is covered by undulating hills with maximum relief of 70 feet.

Vegetation consists of mature spruce, pine and balsam, with alders and manitoba maple present as undergrowth. Locally, mature cedar swamps can be found in depressed areas.

EXPLORATION HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK

The first comprehensive geological mapping of the area was carried out by Thomson (1934) covering both the Upper and Lower Manitou Lakes areas as well as the Manitou Stretch area. More recently, Blackburn (1976, 1982), mapped the Upper and Lower Manitou Lakes area in detail to the north of the Manitou Straits property.

The Manitou Lakes area was the scene of considerable gold prospecting and mining activity from 1895 to 1912, and again in the 1930's (Thomson, 1934). This activity resulted in the discovery of twenty gold occurences in the area. These occurences have been described in detail by Burton and Hodge (1984).

During the 1950's and 1960's, some base metal and iron exploration was carried out in the area. With the discovery of the Mattabi Mine on Sturgeon Lake, approximately 100 miles northeast of the property, exploration in the region was intensified.

Airborne geophysical surveys for base metals were carried out in 1970 by Freeport Canadian Exploration Co. on Lower Manitou Lake to the north of the

Manitou Straits property.

The Canadian Nickel Company held several small claim groups around and included within the bounds of the Manitou Straits property between 1969 to 1972. Three separate locations were tested on the property by diamond drilling. Diamond drill logs, available from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Assessment Office in Toronto, indicate that one drill hole located at the northwest tip of Syndicate Lake intersected mafic volcanics and gabbro with disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite. A second drill hole southwest of Syndicate Lake intersected fel sic and mafic volcanics containing minor sulphides and carbonate alteration. The third drill hole located immediately south of Calder Lake intersected mafic volcanics and gabbro, also intersected was a zone of 25% disseminated pyrite associated with quartz veining and magnetite. No assay values were published, and gold analyses were probably not performed.

Page 12: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

The Gaffney gold deposit, located four miles northwest of the property, was discovered in 1927, and to 1944 was tested by 42 diamond drill holes (Trusler, 1984). The property, dormant since 1944, was acquired in July 1983 by Noxe Petroleum Corporation and Teck Corporation in an 86 claim package. The gold mineralization is associated with pyritic alteration halos surrounding a stockwork of quartz veins at the base of a mafic sill. The mafic sill, rich in magnetite, forms both a strong airborne and ground anomaly. Discussions with the Teck geologist involved with the Gaffney deposit revealed that the magnetic anomaly correlates well with the zone of mineralization.

The Gold Standard North, Sairy Gamp, and Gold Standard South gold prospects occur four, four and one-half, and five miles respectively to the southwest of the Manitou Straits property along the regional geological trend.

CURRENT EXPLORATION

In early 1984, a line grid was established on the Manitou Straits property. A total of 15.91 miles of base and tie lines were cut; perpendicular to this, 95.72 miles of picket lines were cut at 400 foot intervals with pickets every 100

feet.

Magnetometer and V.L.F.E.M. surveys over water covered portions of the property were conducted between February 28 and March 14, 1984 by Norontex Explorations Ltd. of Dryden, Ontario^ Instrument readings were taken at 100 foot intervals on all picket lines.

During the summer of 1984, magnetometer and V.L.F.E.M. surveys were conducted over the remainder of the property by Silver Lake Resources Inc. Instrument readings were taken at 50 foot intervals on all picket lines. In areas with anomalous magnetic values, readings were taken at 25 foot intervals. The above mentioned work was previously summarized in a report by Burden (1985).

In conjunction with the geophysical surveys, geological mapping was conducted along picket lines and shorelines. Outcrop locations were recorded on field work sheets; foliations, textural and compositional variations, alteration and mineralization were noted in the field. The results of these observations are recorded on geological maps in the back pocket of this report.

GEOLOGY

Regional Geology

The Manitou Lakes area is underlain by a northeasterly trending, easterly dipping suite of Early Precambrian metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks known as the Manitou-Stormy Lakes greenstone belt. This belt joins with an east-west trending sequence in the Dryden area, and in the southwest, the Kakagi Lake - Lake of the Woods metavolcanic belt, and together they form part of the Wabigoon subprovince of the Canadian Shield.

The bedrock consists primarily of thick assemblages of metavolcanic rock with subordinate metasedimentary rock sequences intruded by subvolcanic stocks, sills, and dykes of gabbro, feldspar porphyry, and quartz-feldspar porphyry. Flanking this suite to the west is the large Atikwa batholith, and to the east lies the Irene-Eltrut Lakes batholith (Figure 3).

Blackburn (1982) divides the Manitou Lakes metasedimentary-metavolcanic belt into two segments, separated by the northeasterly trending Manitou Straits fault. The northwesterly segment consists of pillowed and porphyritic mafic flows and intermediate pyroclastics with minor felsic fragments (Burton & Hodge 1984). The southeastern segment is composed of massive and pillowed mafic flows, intermediate pyroclastics and metasedimentary rocks.

Blackburn (1982), indicates that within the northwestern segment of the area, a chemical transition occurs from tholeiitic to mixed tholeiitic and calc-alkaline rocks. This chemical transition in many Canadian greenstone belts is a locus of epithermal activity and favourable for the occurrence of stratabound exhalative gold deposits (Detour Lake) and cross cutting vein deposits (Red Lake) (Trusler 1984).

Burton and Hodge (1984), recognize several horizons of sulphide and carbonate-sericite schists in association with felsic volcanic rocks. The carbonate-sericite schists consist of sheared fine grained rhyolitic tuffs and/or cherts; sulphide-bearing units containing pyrite and pyrrhotite, and minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Burton and Hodge (1984), suggest that because of their proximal relationship to lithological contacts, they probably represent original volcanic exhalite deposits. Burton and Hodge (1984) also indicate that there is a spatial relationship of gold occurences in the Manitou Lakes area to these sulphide/schist/exhalite horizons.

The principal structural feature of the area is the Manitou Straits Fault. This fault trends southwesterly from northeast of Gold Rock on Upper Manitou Lake, through both Upper & Lower Manitou Lakes to connect with an east-west trending fault in the Manitou Stretch area. Several subsidiary parallel to subparallel faults have also been recognized (Blackburn, 1976).

Two major fold structures occur: a major synclinal fold whose axis is presumed to lie along or proximal to the Manitou Straits Fault, and, to the northwest of the Manitou Straits Fault the Manitou Anticline. Trusler (1984)

proposed that the Manitou Straits Fault is actually a highly strained hinge zone to the Manitou Lakes sync! inorium.

Property Geology

During the Early Precambrian a composite mafic to felsic volcanic sequence containing subvolcanic intrusions and minor cherty interflow sediments was

deposited on the Manitou Straits property. Partially coincident with the intrusion of the Atikwa Batholith, to the west, the rocks were folded and regionally metamorphosed. Synchronous to this, shearing occured along the axis of the highly strained Manitou Straits syncl inorium. This zone is highly sericitezed and carbonatized.

Page 17: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

tratigraphy and Lithology

The rocks on the property are domlnantly mafic flows. These rocks are fine to medium grained, greyish green to dark green on weathered surfaces and dark green on the fresh surface. Magnetic attraction is generally weak, but locally is very strong. Individual flows are characterized by phenocrysts, amygdules, vesiclues, pillows, or massive textures, and are traceble for hundreds of feet. Within the porphyritic variety, white rounded phenocrysts of feldspar may be up to five inches in diameter. Locally, phenocrysts comprise up to 75% of the rock and are intermeshed. In the vicinity of shear zones, mafic flows are strongly foliated to schistose.

Mafic tuff is dark green to black on the weathered surface and dark green on fresh surfaces. The rock is fine grained with a fissile foliation which readily cleaves. It may also be Icoally magnetic. The rock generally consists of fine ash but this may locally grade into lapilli tuff and/or tuff breccia with fragments being slightly more felsic in composition.

Intermediate to felsic flows are greyish green to buff on the weathered

surface and light green to tan on the fresh surface, aphanatic to fine grained and occasionally porphyritic, massive to weakly foliated, and have no magnetic attraction. Frequently, barren white quartz veins occur in joints in this rock unit.

Felsic pyroclastic rocks include ash, lapilli tuff, and tuff breccia. These

units are frequently intercalated and/or occur as inter-flow units. The ash and lapilli tuffs are grey and light greyish green to buff on weathered and fresh surfaces respectively. Both lapilli and ash are fine grained to aphanatic. Tuff breccia is light greyish tan on weathered surface with fresh surfaces having light green fragments in a slightly darker green matrix. Matrix material and fragments may be aphanatic and/or fine grained. Fragments are usually three

inches to one foot in length, and rarely up to 18 inches.

Page 18: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

15.

horizons form two to ten foot thick units at various strati graphic positions on the property. The chert weathers light grey and is light greyish green on fresh surfaces. The rock is aphanatic, thinly laminated to very thinly bedded and unmineral ized, and it breaks with a conchoidal fracture.

Sericite schist underlies a portion of the central and eastern part of the property. This rock is light buff to brown, phyllitic and fissile, locally contains quartz eyes, and lacks magnetic attraction. In many areas the rock contians five to twenty foot wide zones of oxidized quartz-carbonate (ankerite) veining. Mapping across the main 3500 foot wide shear zone which passes through

the property indicates that the sericite schist may be highly altered mafic volcanic rock. Similarly, the quartz sericite schist appears to be the altered product of intermediate to felsic rocks.

Two major metamorphosed gabbro sills and several smaller lenticular metagrabbro bodies intrude the volcanic sequence. The gabbro tends to be massive, medium to fine grained, equi granular, dark green to black on both weathered and fresh surfaces, with subhedral to anhedral black amphibole and dark green plagioclase laths. Locally, the gabbro is strongly magnetic, foliated and may contain blue quartz eyes. In many places the gabbro grades into and locally appears to be intruded by a dioritic phase. The diorite resembles the gabbro, but is much coarser grained, contains lighter coloured feldspars and has no apparent magnetic attraction.

Several small aplite dykes were found on the western end of the property. The rock is very light grey and buff on weathered and fresh surfaces respectivley. Locally, it may exhibit a porphyritic texture. Pherocrysts are

glassy quartz and are generally less than 0.1 inches. Dykes range in width from five to twenty feet.

Page 19: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

Geology

A total of 70 rock samples were collected and assayed for gold. The results of these analyses Including sample locations and descriptions are listed in Table 1.

Trace amounts of disseminated pyrite were found in all rocks excepting the cherty interflow rocks and the highly oxidized and sericitized rocks of the main shear zone. Greater amounts of pyrite along with pyrhotite (3-10% total sulphides) were found in a graphitic alteration zone between lines 123+OOW and

124+OOW at 46+OON. Although grab samples assayed from this zone failed to indicate any values better than trace gold, the geophysical surveys indicate that this zone is much larger, and thus warrants additional work.

A grab sample taken from a pyritic and oxidized mafic volcanic rock located on line 60+OOS at 16+OOW assayed 0.014 oz Aii/ton. Malachite stained quartz veins located on line 40+OOW at 4+OOS, and on line 84+OOW at 23+OON failed to indicate any values better than trace gold.

These four areas warrant additional prospecting and exploration.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The V.L.F.E.M. and Magnetic surveys revealed dozens of bedrock conductors and magnetically anomalous areas. Geological mapping revealed a zone mineralized with gold on line 60+OOS at 16+OOW.

The strong parallel linear magnetic anomalies located between lines 8+OOW and 128+OOW trending at N75 E are coincident with magnetite rich mafic sills. The Gaffney gold deposit, located four miles northeast of the property is associated with a similar magnetite rich mafic sill. Chances for the occurrence of a similar type of gold mineralization on the Manitou Straits property appear favourable.

The large magnetic anomaly located along the northern boundary of claim K744793 is spatially associated with a V.L.F.E.M. conductor. These anomalies are underlain by intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks and mafic tuff breccias. This anomaly should be explored for Kuroko-type base metals.

Several malachite stained pyrite-bearing quartz veins occur on the property. Malachite is common in many of the vein gold deposits of the Manitou Lakes area. Although only trace gold values were obtained from grab samples, additional prospecting is warranted.

Further geological, V.L.F.E.M., soil geochemical, and magnetic surveys and

prospecting are recommended for the summer of 1985. If warranted, a more detailed and comprehensive exploration programme should follow.

SUMMARY

The 161 claim Manitou Straits property is located on the southwestern end of

Lower Manitou Lake. The property is underlain by an Early Precambrian

southwesterly trending sequence of metamorphosed mafic to felsic volcanic rocks

intruded by mafic sills.

The property is on strike with four gold prospects. The Gaffney deposit,

four miles northeast of, and on strike with the Manitou Straits property, has

recently undergone an intensive drill programme by a Teck Corporation - Noxe

Petroleum Corporation joint venture. Estimates of possible gold reserves prior

to recent drilling were as high as 621,000 tons of material grading 0.22 oz gold

per ton (Neilson and Bray, 1981).

The Gold Standard North, Sairy Gamp, and Gold Standard South prospects are

four, four and one-half, and five miles respectively to the southwest of the

property. Each of these prospects were worked near the turn of the century and

developed with exploration shafts.

In early 1984, a 400' line grid was established on the property;

magnetometer, V.L.F.E.M. and geological surveys were conducted. Several magnetic

and V.L.F.E.M. anomalies were outlined. Many of the magnetic anomalies are

similar in intensity to the anomaly over the Gaffney gold deposit and occur in a

similar geological setting. Also, several other geologically interesting areas

were outlined.

A soil geochemical survey was carried out in conjunction with geological and

geophysical surveys. Several geologically, geochemically and geophysically

promising areas have been identified. Detailed prospecting of these selected

areas is recommended for the 1985 field season.

INTRODUCTION

The Manitou Straits property is underlain by Early Precambrian raetavolcanic

rocks and actually straddles a major transition in the volcanic rock chemistry

from tholeiitic to mixed calc alkaline and tholeiitic. This boundary between

oceanic volcanics and an overlying stratovolcano is typically the locus of many

Early Precambrian gold deposits. In the Manitou Lakes area, the Gaffney deposit

occurs at such a contact and numerous other gold occurrences are found in close

proximity to this horizon (Burton & Hodge, 1984).

A geochemical soil survey was conducted during the 1984 field season. This

survey was performed in an attempt to outline zones of mineralization obscured by

overburden. The results of this work are presented in this report.

Locations and Access

The property is located near the southern end of Lower Manitou Lake

approximately 40 miles south of Dryden, and 40 miles north of Fort Frances,

Ontario (Figure 1). Highway 812 passes approximately 5 miles east of the

property.

Access may be obtained by float or ski equipped aircraft available in both

Dryden and Fort Frances. Boat or snowmobile may also be used to reach the

property from Esox Lake located 20 miles to the south and accessable by logging

roads from Hwy. 812.

Several radio telephones are available at tourist camps and private cabins

around the lake. A barge service is available on the lake for transportation of

heavy equipment, and a seasonal helicopter base is maintained at camp Beaverhead

8 miles northeast of the claim group.

Topography and Vegetation

Approximately 30 percent of the property Is covered by water. The remainder

of the property is covered by undulating hills with maximum relief of 70 feet.

Vegetation consists of mature spruce, pine and balsam, with alders and

manitoba maple present as undergrowth. Locally, mature cedar swamps can be found

In depressed areas.

Page 42: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

EXPLORATION HISTORY AND PREVIOUS WORK

The first comprehensive geological mapping of the area was carried out by

Thomson (1934) covering both the Upper and Lower Manitou Lakes areas as well as

the Manitou Stretch area. More recently, Blackburn (1976, 1982), mapped the

Upper and Lower Manitou Lakes area in detail to the north of the Manitou Straits

property.

The Manitou Lakes area was the scene of considerable gold prospecting and

mining activity from 1895 to 1912, and again in the 1930's (Thomson, 1934). This

activity resulted in the discovery of twenty gold occurences in the area. These

occurences have been described in detail by Burton and Hodge (1984).

During the 1950's and 1960's, some base metal and iron exploration was

carried out in the area. With the discovery of the Mattabi Mine on Sturgeon

Lake, approximately 100 miles northeast of the property, exploration in the

region was intensified.

Airborne geophysical surveys for base metals were carried out in 1970 by

Freeport Canadian Exploration Co. on Lower Manitou Lake to the north of the

Manitou Straits property.

The Canadian Nickel Company held several small claim groups around and

included within the bounds of the Manitou Straits property between 1969 to 1972.

Three separate locations were tested on the property by diamond drilling.

Diamond drill logs, available from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Assessment

Office in Toronto, indicate that one drill hole located at the northwest tip of

Syndicate Lake intersected mafic volcanics and gabbro with disseminated

pyrrhotite and pyrite. A second drill hole southwest of Syndicate Lake

intersected felsic and mafic volcanics containing minor sulphides and carbonate

alteration. The third drill hole located immediately south of Calder Lake

intersected mafic volcanics and gabbro, also intersected was a zone of 25%

disseminated pyrite associated with quartz veining and magnetite. No assay

values were published, and gold analyses were probably not performed.

Page 43: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

The Gaffney gold deposit, located four miles northwest of the property, was

discovered in 1927, and to 1944 was tested by 42 diamond drill holes (Trusler,

1984). The property, dormant since 1944, was acquired in July 1983 by Noxe

Petroleum Corporation and Teck Corporation in an 86 claim package. The gold

mineralization is associated with pyritic alteration halos surrounding a

stockwork of quartz veins at the base of a mafic sill. The mafic sill, rich in

magnetite, forms both a strong airborne and ground anomaly. Discussions with the

Teck geologist involved with the Gaffney deposit revealed that the magnetic

anomaly correlates well with the zone of mineralization.

The Gold Standard North, Sairy Gamp, and Gold Standard South gold prospects

occur four, four and one-half, and five miles respectively to the southwest of

the Manitou Straits property along the regional geological trend.

Page 44: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

10

CURRENT EXPLORATION

In early 1984, a line grid was established on the Manitou Straits property.

A total of 15.91 miles of base and tie lines were cut; perpendicular to this,

95.72 miles of picket lines were cut at 400 foot intervals with pickets every 100

feet.

Magnetometer and V.L.F.E.M. surveys over water covered portions of the

property were conducted between February 28 and March 14, 1984 by Norontex

Explorations Ltd. of Dryden, Ontario. Instrument readings were taken at 100 foot

intervals on all picket lines.

During the summer of 1984, magnetometer, V.L.F.E.M. and geological surveys

were conducted over the remainder of the property by Silver Lake Resources Inc.

Instrument readings were taken at 50 foot intervals on all picket lines. In

areas with anomalous magnetic values, readings were taken at 25 foot intervals.

Geological mapping was conducted along picket lines and shorelines, outcrop

locations were recorded on field work sheets; foliations, textural and

compositional variations, alteration and mineralization were noted in the field.

The above mentioned work was previously summarized in two reports by Burden

(1985a, and 1985b).

In conjunction with the geophysical and geological surveys, a soil

geochemical survey was conducted over the Manitou Straits property.

Approximately 3,600 samples were collected of the B horizon, where possible, at

50 foot intervals along each line. Four hundred and fifty-nine of these samples

were selected for analyses. The remaining samples are in storage in Fort

Frances, Ontario.

Page 45: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The Manitou Lakes area is underlain by a northeasterly trending, easterly

dipping suite of Early Precambrian metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks

known as the Manitou-Stormy Lakes greenstone belt. This belt joins with an

east-west trending sequence in the Dryden area, and in the southwest, the Kakagi

Lake - Lake of the Woods metavolcanic belt, and together they form part of the

Wabigoon subprovince of the Canadian Shield.

The bedrock consists primarily of thick assemblages of metavolcanic rock

with subordinate metasedimentary rock sequences intruded by subvolcanic stocks,

sills, and dykes of gabbro, feldspar porphyry, and quartz-feldspar porphyry.

Flanking this suite to the west is the large Atikwa batholith, and to the east

lies the Irene-Eltrut Lakes batholith (Figure 3).

Blackburn (1982) divides the Manitou Lakes metasedimentary-metavolcanic belt

into two segments, separated by the northeasterly trending Manitou Straits fault.

The northwesterly segment consists of pillowed and porphyritic mafic flows and

intermediate pyroclastics with minor felsic fragments (Burton & Hodge 1984). The

southeastern segment is composed of massive and pillowed mafic flows,

intermediate pyroclastics and metasedimentary rocks.

Blackburn (1982), indicates that within the northwestern segment of the

area, a chemical transition occurs from tholeiitic to mixed tholeiitic and

calc-alkaline rocks. This chemical transition in many Canadian greenstone belts

is a locus of epithermal activity and favourable for the occurrence of

stratabound exhalative gold deposits (Detour Lake) and cross cutting vein

deposits (Red Lake) (Trusler 1984).

Burton and Hodge (1984), recognize several horizons of sulphide and

carbonate-sericite schists in association with felsic volcanic rocks. The

carbonate-sericite schists consist of sheared fine grained rhyolitic tuffs and/or

cherts; sulphide-bearing units containing pyrite and pyrrhotite, and minor

chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Burton and Hodge (1984), suggest that

because of their proximal relationship to lithological contacts, they probably

represent original volcanic exhalite deposits. Burton and Hodge (1984) also

indicate that there is a spatial relationship of gold occurences in the Manitou

Lakes area to these sulphide/schist/exhalite horizons.

The principal structural feature of the area is the Manitou Straits Fault.

This fault trends southwesterly from northeast of Gold Rock on Upper Manitou

Lake, through both Upper & Lower Manitou Lakes to connect with an east-west

trending fault in the Manitou Stretch area. Several subsidiary parallel to

subparallel faults have also been recognized (Blackburn, 1976).

Two major fold structures occur: a major synclinal fold whose axis is

presumed to lie along or proximal to the Manitou Straits Fault, and, to the

northwest of the Manitou Straits Fault the Manitou Anticline. Trusler (1984)

proposed that the Manitou Straits Fault is actually a highly strained hinge zone

to the Manitou Lakes synclinorium.

Page 48: GEOL OF THE MANITOU STRAITS PROP - Ontario

SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY

In conjunction with geological and geophysical surveys, a soil geochemical

survey was conducted over the Manitou Straits property. A total of 3596 samples

were collected of B horizon at 50 foot intervals along each line, where

possible.

Three to ten inches of Organic and A horizon soils were scraped off each

sample location using a grub hoe, and fist size samples of B horizon soil were

placed in numbered paper sample bags. The samples were then dried, and placed in

storage at Fort Frances, Ontario.

After the completion of geological and geophysical surveys, 459 soil samples

were selected over two geologically and geophysically interesting areas. These

samples were sent to Bell-White Laboratories in Haileybury, Ontario for

analysis.

Bell-White screened the samples to -80 mesh, selected 10 gram portions of

this fraction and produced a dore bead. The dore beads were in turn redissolved

into solution with aqua-regia and then tested for gold by atomic absorption.

The analytical results are tabulated in Appendix 1, and presented on Plans 1

and 2.

Using the geometric mean as an estimate of background soil gold values, it

was determined that 4 ppb is background. Truly anomalous values are assumed to

be five times background or 20 ppb.

This simple data massage indicates that there are no truly anomalous soil

samples but there are 12 areas containing possibly anomalous soils which warrant

further investigation.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The 459 soil samples were chosen to test the response of gold in soils over

selected geophysical anomalies, and geologically favourable areas. Although no

anomalous soils were located, several areas of possibly anomalous soils were

found and these were spatically associated with geophysical anomalies. The best

anomalies, located between lines 80+OOS and 92+OOS at 2+OON and 1+50S are

proximal to magnetic highs within geologically favourable ground, i.e. a wide

shear zone passing through the central portion of the property (Burden, 1985 b).

A second possibly anomalous area located between lines 60+OOS and 64+OOS at

16+OOW is proximal to a surface gold showing. Several more possibly anomalous

values are located along line 124+OOW between 26+OON and 52+OON. These western

possibly anomalous soils are all directly associated with magnetic and V.L.F.E.M.

anomalies.

All possibly anomalous zones warrant stripping and trenching so as to

determine the source of the anomalous gold values. Also, a second batch of soil

samples should be selected over portions of the remaining geophysical anomalies

to further test their association with geochemical anomalies. Should these

samples also define geochemically anomalous or possibly anomalous zones, they too

should be prospected.

If positive results are obtained from the above programme, all soil samples

should be analysed, and a more detailed and comprehensive exploration programme

should follow.
