.... fl'ROOUCTIOH

During the period of MAy 24, 1970 to AUgust 9, 1970 geological

aapping at a scale of one inch to 400 feet was carried out on the ~jd Group

by AmiIX Exploration, Inc., of 7 King Street East, Toronto. The survey cov­

ered 143 contiguous unpatented mining claims: Pa21l416 to 211445; 211451 to

211465; 211485 to 21149SJ 211521 to 211536; 211556 t~ 211581; 211591 to

211606i 211690 to 211701 and 243543 to 243554. Control was established

on claims Pa 211416 to 211445; 211455 to 211465; 211485 to 211498; 211525

to 211536; 211560 to 211573; 211595 to 211599; 211600 to 211606; 211690 to

211701 and parts of Pa 211464, 211465, 211533, 211568, 211577, 211473,

211603 Mad 211606 by cut lines 400 feet apart running N25 deqrees E.. The

remainder of the property was traversed by north south lines, 400 feet

Apart.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The property is located approximately 55 air miles east of Sioux

Lookout, Ontario, ilIIDediately east of Glitter Lake. The claim group cnclud ••

parts of the ontario Department of Mines, South of SturC)eon Lake Area and

(;,!uest Lake claia ... pe.

Add Lake and Aaren Lake ,,:.... amenable to float or ski equipped

Beaver and Cessna 180 aircraft. Glitter Lake 18 suitable for Twin Beech

aircraft. A winter road extends frOllll. the Mattaqaai Lake road to the west

short of Glitter Lake.

REGIOML GEOLOGY

(D. P. Rogers 1.964 ODM Geological Report. NO. 24)

'!be oldest PreciUDbrian. rocka in the region are a series of basic

to acid volcanic rocks yith iatercalated sediments. Tbe latter contain magnet­

ic iron formations. Sll&1.1 stocks and dykes of diorite and gabbro intrude both

the ssdiaentary and volcanic rocks.

Regional aapl&CflIIIIIIIIIlt of granitic rocks beqan after the basic

intrusions. Proal lit-par-lit gneisses along contact sones the granites pr<.,'­

gress throuqh 1IACJIIIiltics and hybrid gneiss to gneisses and coarse grained

grani tea at the cor ••

Syea1tic rocks occur as elliptically shaped bodies generally con­

cordant with regiOftL,l fo1.iatioa. 'l"ba contact effects of the syenite bodiea

are local campared. to the folding and _tamorphisa reaultinq fro. the granitic

intrusions •

PROPERrY GEOLCGY

The greater part of the Add Group is underlain by vertically dippinq

basic aetavolcanics that strike approximately 565£. Metamorphic grade is high­

es't in the south and ceatra.l aections of th~ property where the basic a991om­

erates (IF). pillows ClP) and gnGis_ (le! are a medium to coarse grained

amphibolite contai.nJ.D9 minor biotite, c;arnet. and carbonate. Near the northern
