boundanj; from there, e swamp tractor road (Photo 1) extends west to the OHR railvray which traverses the central portion of the claim group.

PresentField wort conducted over the period June 12 to September 23,1993

included cleaning out end re-establishing portions of old grid lines, prospecting, sampling and geological mapping.

The area was mapped at a scale of 15,000. Portions of the claim group had been previously mopped by Pjjce and Gunnison in 1983-84 when part of the property wes held by Comstete Resources Ltd. Detailed mopping was therefore largely conducted on those portions of the property not previously mopped or where the geology was least understood - notably the outcrop areas in Lot 4, Concession 6 of Nvpiiy Township.

The main objectives of the survey were to delineate the major structures and lithologies underlying the property and to outline areas of alteration and mineralization. As the property affords both o base metal and gold potential, particular attention was paid to the style of alteration and its relationship to the interpreted structural components.

A total of 64 bedrock samples were collected from the property. Sample descriptions ore given in Appendix A. Twenty-four thin sections and 2 polished thin sections were subsequently cut and examined in detail. Four polished thin sections were prepared for electron microprobe analysis of mica, feldspar, chlorite and carbonate mineral compositions. Whole rock major, trace and nre earth element analyses were carried out on four of the samples; in addition, 12 samples were analyzed for gold, copper and zinc.

Forty-five whole rock analyses submitted from the area in 1985 by Comstote Resources Ltd. for assessment work purposes were compiled in order to more fully define the geochemistry and alteration of the rocks underlying the property.

Previous WorkThe oreo was first mopped by Derry (1939) as port of eight townships

comprising the Bigwater Lake area The geology of Murphy Township was subsequently compiled and updated by Ferguson (1964 and later formed part of a large scale reconnaissance by Bright and Hunt (1971). Recently, the Ontario Geological Survey completed on airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey of the Timmins area, which included Murphy and Wark Townships (DBS, 1968).

The following summary of exploration work performed on the claims is based on information obtained from assessment files available from the Ministry of Northern Development ond Mines. Figure 4 summarizes the approximate location of known HLEM conductors ond drill holes.

In 1964, Texas 6ulf Sulphur Ltd drilled five holes totalling 54D m. Four holes in the south half of Lot 5, Cone 6 intersected largely felsic to intermediate volcanics with minor graphitic tuffs; one hole in the north half of Lot 4, Cone 5, was largely within sediments.

In 1964, National Explorations Limited conducted magnetic and VLEM surveys over the north half of Lot 4, Cone 6, Murphy Township, with no encouraging results.

In 1964, Conwest Exploration Limited conducted on airborne EM-magnetic survey in Murphy and Wark Townships; no follow-up work was undertaken on the present claim group-

In 1964, North American Rare Metals Limited conducted HLEMN, magnetic and seismic surveys in Lots 4 ond 5, Cone 1 t Wark Township. No conductors were located.

In 1964 Victoria Algoma Mineral Company Ltd diamond drilled two holes near the south half of Lot 4, Cone 6, and one in the north half of Lot 5, Cone 5, Murphy Township; aggregate length of holes totalled 408 m.

In 1969, Hollinger nines Limited conducted VLF and magnetic surveys in the south half of Lots 4,5 and 6, Cone 1, Work Township. Two diamond drill holes totalling 370 m were subsequently sunk in the south half of Lot 5, Cone 1. Hollinger also conducted geological mapping and VLF, HLEM and magnetic surveys in Lot 4, Cone 6, Murphy Township. In 1971, this was followed by one diamond drill hole totalling 153.6 m.

Norando Mines Limited held the north half of Lot 6, Cone 5, the south half of Lot 5, Cone 6, and the north half of Lot 4, Cone 5. During 1969 to 1971, magnetic and VLEM surveys were completed and followed by two diamond drill holes totalling 357 m in lots 5 and 6.

In 1981, Comstate Resources Ltd completed an airborne magnetic - INPUT survey of Work and Murphy Townships. From 1983 to 1988, Comstote performed ground exploration near the Wark/Murphy township common boundary. In 1963, a geochemical (humus) survey was carried out in Lots 4 and 5, Cone 1, Wark Township and Lot 4, Cone 6, Murphy Township. Magnetometer surveys were conducted in 1983-84 in Lot 4, Cone 5 (north half; Lot 5 Cone 6 (south half), and Lot 6, Cone 5. These were followed by magnetic surveys in Lots 4 and 5, Cone 1, Wart Township. Also, in 1983-84, Comstote geologically mapped parts of Lots 4,5 and 6, Cone 6, in Murphy Township and the south part of Lots 4 and 5, Cone 1, Wark Township. In 1988, on HLEM survey was conducted in Lot 6, Cone 5, and the north half of Lot 4, Cone 5, Murphy Township; no follow-up work was undertaken.

During 1988-90, the present property was aquired by the co-owners, and subsequently optioned to Noranda Exploration Company Limited in 1990. toronto carried out magnetic and H^M surveys, and subsequently sunk two diamond drill holes (BW92-1 and BW92-2; Figure 4) totalling 349 ra The option was terminated in 1992.

Reqionel BeolopifThe volcanic package in north Murphy Township lies within what hos

been termed the Hoyle assemblage (Jackson and Fyon, 1991), which

consists largely of sedimentary rocks intercalated with lesser ultramafic,

mafic and felsic volcanics. The close spatial relationship between

komotiitic volcanics and rhyolite suggests a possible correlation with the

volcanic suite at the Kidd Creek Hine, 10 km to the northwest.

Property Geology - Summanj

The property is underlain by o complex assemblage of northeast

trending mafic volcanics, komotiitic flows and conglomeratic or debris

flow sedimentary rocks which has been folded about o northeast trending

anticlinal axis (Hop 1) Two major northwest, sinistral faults offset the

stratigraphy and appear to post-dote on earlier series of northeast

trending faults. Massive to foliated rhyolite outcrops immediately

northwest of the property. A band of graphitic argillite (interpreted from

airborne input conductors) occurs in the southern portion of the property,

intercalated with conglomerate/debris flows. Another northeast trending

graphitic argillite unit underlies the western portion of the claim group,

immediately east of the proposed northeast trending fault This unit wes

intersected in diamond drilling (DDH BW-92-2) and there is intercalated

with strongly altered mafic volcanics and komotiites.

Foliations and pillow elongation directions are almost entirely

northwest-southeast oriented, in marked contrast to the mopped northeast

striking lithologies. This may be due to pronounced northeast-southwest

compression, during which time northwest trending faults were - developed.

A 20-50 metre wide zone of fairly intense green

mica-cartramte-elbite-quartz alteration flanks the graphitic argillite

neor the west central boundary of the property (intersected in ODH BW-92-2). This zone appears to extend into on outcrop oreo in Work Township, one kilometre to the northeast One to five percent pyrrhotite end pyrite occur within quortz-olbite veins within the zone.

Grab samples carrying anomalous copper and zinc values were obtained from o trench within the conglomerate/debris flows near the central part of the property. Sulphide bearing clasts within this unit may perhaps be of proximal derivation.

Property Seoloqu:

ftafic VolcanicsThe mafic volcanics are dominontly an assemblage of pillowed and

massive flows that are typically vesicular, weather light grey and are light grey green on fresh surfaces (Photo 2). Some of the pillowed facies are variolitic, with varioles being concentrated near the pillow margins and varying in size from 2 to 15 mm, (Photos 3-5).

The flows generally contain 5-201 sub-idioblastic to idioblastic aggregates of clinozoisite, 5-30* actinolite (as bladed to shredded, generally weakly to non-foliated masses), trace to locally 20* pale green chlorite, 20-40* anhedral (and clear) untwimed plagioclase, 10-20* interstitial fine grained quartz and traces of sphene, apatite and sulphides. Plagioclase generally occurs os fine grained, anhedral interlocking grains with quartz. Occasionally, however, the feldspars exhibit relict lath shapes and the optical continuity of the original twinning is retained. Carbonate occtrs os fine grained zenoblests and veinlets and constitutes three to locally twenty percent of the rock (Photos 60 and 6b).

Medium to coarse grained poikiloblastic biotite occurs occasionally (Photos 8o,b). Biotite is most strongly developed in the mafic flows

Groundmess plogioclose compositions (os determined by microprobe onolysis) ore oligoclase-andesine. The occurrence of idioblostic clinozoisite, calcic feldspar and actinolite within the groundmass matrix indicate that the mafic volcanics attained a metamorphic grade of upper greenschist.

The mafic volcanics are generally moderately to strongly deformed and weakly carbonatized. Localized zones of shearing and carbonatization occur adjacent to lithologlcal contacts and in proximity ta faults. Quartz and quartz-carbonate veinlets, where developed in these zones, ore commonly boudinoged with letioyiadB chlorite occurring ot the margins of boudinoged lenses (Photos 7e,b). Chlorite occurs os fine grained, foliated,anastomosing bonds, and the percentage of amphibole and clinozoisite

* diminishes markedly.

On claims 1083757,1114977 and 1115241, clinozoisite is not os pervasively developed and the flows consist predominantly of soussuritized feldspar, actinolite, chlorite quartz and leucoxene.

Doric green, massive basalt forms a series of outrops south of the

pillowed volcanics near the south boundary of claim 1083756. In thin section, these rocks ore more mafic than the overlying pillowed volcanics, containing 40-45 percent actinolite. Geochemically, the massive basalts plot well within the tholeiitic field, whereas most of the flows exhibit o decidedly calc-alkalic signature (see section on Geochemistry). The unit is likely a sill, or perhaps a emulate base to a thick calc-alkalic flow, containing ilmenite.

Komatiites Komatiitic rocks weather light to dork grey, commonly display

polygonal jointing/polysuturing ond locally preserve fine relict spinifex

textures. Pervasive talc-carbonate alteration is common to many of the

outcrops. In a few of the thin sections examined, textures of serpentine

pseudomorphing cumulate textured olivine was preserved. One thin section

(P274-84) of basaltic komatiite in Wark Township, consists of tremolite,

talc, chlorite, saussuritized plagioclase, quartz, carbonate and minor chrome spinel ond magnetite. Two to three percent poikiloblastic brown biotite occurs in many of the samples examined, overgrowing o matted

groundmass of tremolite-tolc-chlorite-zaisite (Photos 9a,b).

Sedimentary RocksSediments underlying the property consist largely of heterolithic

conglomerate, herein interpreted to be coarse, unsorted debris flows. These units mag contain dominontly komatiitic clasts within an ultramafic matrix (Photos 10,11), or may contain a very varied assortment of clasts (eg. komatiitic, gabbro, felsic, clastic, chert and sulphide) within

an ultramafic matrix (Photos 12,13). The debris flows are invariably

poorly sorted ond clast supported, with clast size varying from several mfllemeters to two meters or more, but generally averaging 10 to 30 cm.

Talc-carbonate alteration of the rock is common, particularly when the ultramafic component is significant. Coarse grained, inclusion-rich, poikiloblastic biotite commonly occurs within the matrix to the clasts, overgrowing felty talc-tremolite-carbonate-quartz mats (Photo 14).

On claims 1073197 and 1073193, in the southwest portion of the property, the debris flows immediately north of (overlying) the komotiitic unit consist almost entirely of komotiitic fragments within an ultramafic matrix, suggesting a very local derivation from the underlying komatiites.

Basaltic fragments become noticoble only higher up in the sequence; in the vicinity of TL10E-1550N, basaltic clasts dominate.

Hossive, thickly bedded, fine to medium grained, medium grey weathering greywacke outcrops near the Warfc-Murphy township boundary. Minor interbeds of siltstone, up to 5 cm in width, rarely form more than four to five beds within on outcrop area. Biotite generally comprises 5-101 of the rock. Primary structures observed include graded bedding, scouring. Home structures and soft sediment slumps. Flame structures indicate north tops near the Wark-Hurphy Township boundary.

A northeast trending unit of graphitic argillite was intersected in DON BW-92-2 an claim 1112041. The rock is generally finely bedded and fine grained, with less than 20* greywacke component (Photo 15). Light grey to white millemeter wide bonds of chert or cherty siltstone occur, and commonly display of f sets and boudinage structures. Nodular pyrite-pyrrhotite is locally present within specific beds; quartz pressure shadows ore ubiquitous at the margins of the deformed nodules. Minor flecks of dork brown-red sphalerite were observed within the unit in the vicinity of more sulphide-rich bands.

StructureThe structure of the property is poorly understood and there remain a

number of factors which, as get, are not adequately explained.At present, the main structure is interpreted to be o northeast trending

anticline, disrupted by northwest cross faulting. A pervasive foliation strikes northwest and dips steeply northeast Pillows also strike northwest, and where taps could be determined with some confidence, the facings ore WSW. It was first thought that perhaps the discrepancy in the trend of the stratigraphy with the facings of the pillowed flows may signify on unconformity along the south contact of the komotiites just north of the pillow determinations ie. - on claims 1083754 and 1083/57 in the northeast part of property and similarity through claims 1083750,

1127700,1127703 ond 1114979 in the southern port of the property. However, this does not appear to conform with either the ground or airborne geophysics, or the apparent continuity of conglomerite units within the southerly basalts. Therefore, a fold axis is proposed, whereby the NW striking - SW facing pillows ore outcropping at the nose of the fold. This onticlinol axis is supported by the morphology of the flows in diamond drill hole BW92-1, on cloim 1114813, which indicate that tops ore down hole ie.- to the northwest As well, the strong oirborne conductor (OGS, 1988) at the south margin of the property is interpreted to be o graphitic argillite, correlative with the graphitic argillite intersected in diamond drill hole BW92-2, on cloim 1112041. At present, this interpretation, although not wholly satisfactory, appears to be the most viable.

Two northwest trending faults cross the property, as indicated by offsets in the stratigraphy and locally intense shearing, particularly evident in some rode exposures along the roilwoy trade (Photo 16 and 17). A northeast trending fault is interpreted to extend roughly parallel to the graphitic orgillite/conductive zone in the west port of the property. This is supported both by shearing noted within the graphitic argillite and by the occurrence of strongly deformed, green mica altered and quartz albite veined rocks intersected in Nonndo DDK BW-92-2, and from previous diomond drill logs noting shearing ond alteration along this some zone (Figure 4). Regional aeromagnetic data (Barlow, 1988) supports the presence of this fault, which extends southwest to the Mattagami River fault in Godfrey Township and northeast through the northwest portion of Gowon Township. Weak, subporallel HLEM conductors on the eastside of the property (Figure 4 and flap D which are transverse to the stratigraphy may reflect overburden conductors along related fault scarps.

Whole rock and trace element analyses were determined for four of the samples collected from the property during the 1993 field season

(samples PI, P105, P107, P139-93). In addition, rare earth elements were

determined far sample P139 and a further twelve samples were assayed

for gold, copper and zinc. The samples were analyzed at X-Ray Assay Laboratories Ltd. in Willowdale, Ont

Forty-five lithogeochemical analyses obtained during 1983-84, and

submitted by Comstate Resources for assessment purposes, were compiled in order to more fully define the geochemistry and alteration of the rocks

underlying the property. Sample descriptions for both the 1993 and compiled 1983-84 specimens are given in Appendix A; the geochemical

data are presented in Appendix EThe volcanic racks underlying the property ore subalkaline (Figs. 5a,5b),

dominantly low-K andesite*, basaltic andesites and basalts (Figs. 6a,6b). The Jensen cation plot (Figs. 7a,b) readily breaks out the two main volcanic suites observed: 1) a calc-alkaline sequence varying in composition from basaltic through rhyolitic and 2) an ultramafic -mafic

komotiitic suite. Only minor tholeiites are present, occurring as a narrow band of dork green, massive flows (sills?) in the northeast part of the property (samples P261,262).

A chondrite normalized plot of the rare earth element (REE) abundances (Fig 8) in a sample of pillowed andesite (P 139-93) from diamond drill hole

BW92-2 confirms the calc-alkaline affinity of the mafic to intermediate volcanics (Condie, 1984. The REE pattern exhibits generally moderately

elevated abundances, a moderately negative slope and a weak negative

europium anomaly.The intercalation of dominantly komotiitic and calc-alkaline volcanics

underlying the property is unusual for the Timmins area north of the Porcupine-Destor Fault. The volcanic stratigraphy within the Timmins gold camp, as well as that occurring within the Kidd Creek and Kamiskotia VMS base metal deposit areas, is characterized by tholeiitic or tholeiitic-komotiitic geochemical signatures.

During the course of the mopping it appeared that many of the clasts in the conglomerate/debris flow (mop unit 4) were locally derived. For example, on claims 1073197 and 1073196 in the SW part of the property, the debris flows immediately north (overlying) the ultramafics consist of ultramafic fragments in an ultramafic matrix, suggesting a derivation fnrni the underlying ultramafics. Basaltic fragments only become noticable higher (north) in the sequence and in the vicinity of TL10E-15 SON, basaltic clasts dominate. Platted values of A1203 vs. Ti02 onhdrous weight percents for all samples are shown in Figure 9. The plot suggests that basaltic closts (P75 and POO) occurring within the conglomerate/debris flows ore not derived from the flows underlying the property area - the clast compositions do not plot on the some geochemical trend as the boselt-andesite flows. Whether the conglomerate/debris flow clasts are locally derived or ore from a distal source raises many implications os to the tectonics surrounding the emplacement of the fragmental. The conglomerate was initially envisaged as a fault scarp - talus slope type deposit However, if the fragments ara not locally derived, then either a turbidite-type deposit or possible fault emplacement is suggested. A more detailed study of the clast types, sedimentological structures and fabric occurring within the conglomerate/debris flow units is warranted, and may well have o bearing on the economic potential of the area of the area (ie. - the Interpreted tectonic setting).

Alteration. Mineralization and Mineral Chemistry

Grab samples containing anomalous copper and zinc values were obtained from a 75 meter long, partially water filled east-west trending trenched area occurring near the central part of the property, immediately west of the railway (Mop 1). The trench occurs within the conglomerate/debris flow. Here, clast types are more commonly felsic to intermediate in composition and bear two to locally twenty percent extremely fine disseminated pyntwtite and pyrite.

Samples P78 and 83-93 were obtained from o large, ovei grown rock dump pile/area occurring immediately south of the trench. Sample P-81 returned assay values of 252 ppm copper and 1090 ppm zinc, and sample P82 assayed 273 and 093 ppm copper and zinc, respectively. Sample P79 returned a value of 22 ppb gold.

In sample PB2-93, medium to coarse grained anhedral, dark red sphalerite is intergrawn with abundant (5-10 percent) subheAnl pyrrhotite bands and trace chalcopyrite in o foliated corbonate-chlorite-clinozoisite matrix (Photos. 18a,1Bb).

A thirty to fifty meter wide zone of moderate to locally intense green mico-carbenate alteration (with associated quartz-carbonate-albite veirring and shearing) was intersected in Nonmdo diamond drill hole BW92-2, near the west central boundary of the property (Mop l). Thiszone con be traced northwards into on outcrop area occurring one kilometer to the northeast, in Work Township. A major northeast trending fault is interpreted to parallel closely the alteration zone (see Structural Geology section).

A brief summary of the diamond drill log for hold BW-92-2 is given in Table 1. The alteration and veining are hosted within mafic to intermediate pillowed volcanics, and occur on either side of o band of graphitic metasediments (Photo. 15). A seventeen meter wide section of

highly altered ond f olioted rock, bearing 70* quortz-carbenate-albite

veins to 0.4 meters in width, occurs within the zone near the bottom of

the drill hole (ie. from 163.1-100 metres).

Six thin sections ond two polished sections were prepared from

representative samples taken across the zone. In addition, mineral

compositions were determined on f our carbon coated polished sections

using the JEQL JAX-0600 Electron Microprobe at the University of Western

Ontario. The minerals analyzed include white micas, feldspars, chlorite

ond carbonate; f oir spectrometers were employed ond the unit was run

with an excitation voltoge of 15 kv. Descriptions of the microprobe

samples analyzed ore given in Table 2.

Where the volcanics are least altered, they ore fine grained, hard and

pale grey in colour. The mineralogy consists of clinozoisite,

oligoclose-andesine feldspar, actinolite, quartz, lesser chlorite, calcite

ond traces of sphene and rutile (Photos. 19o,19b).

As alteration becomes more intense, carbonate modal percentages

increase considerably (Photo 20). The rock takes on a distinct emerald

green hue due to the presence of varying proportions of pole green mica.

Mica generally occurs as fine to medium groined foliated mosses

interstitial to quartz, carbonate and feldspar, and varies from five to

locally twenty-five percent (Photo 22). Clinozoisite becomes

progressively replaced by carbonate, quartz and mica (Photo 23). Quartz

veinlets are often recrystallized and boudinoged, with abundant coarser

grained mica developed at their margins and in later cross-cutting

fractures (Photo. 21).

Photograph 24, of drill core from the zone, well illustrates the style of

alteration ond veining observed. Green mica alteration displays a very

patchy distribution, even where veining is intense (lower portion of photo).

altered "regimes" containing feldspor-chlorite-quortz and only minor amounts of mica and carbonate. Regime boundaries vary from very sharp to rapid gradotionol (Photos. 25a,25b); minor bonds af coarse mica ore eccessiemrily developed at these interfaces.

Veins are commonly compositionolly zoned (Photo. 24). They often display a granular tortured, greyish coloured outer border of medium to coarse grained ferroan dolomite-minor quortz-albite (uppermost portion of core in Photo 24; Photos. 26 and 27), and a central zone of quortz-albite with miner ferroan dolomite. Central quortz-albite veins are characterized by a pronounced ribbon fabric, expressed by irregular 1-4 mm. wide seams af foliated emerald green mica wall rock occumng within the veins, parallel to the vein walls. These seams are believed to reflect the periodic dilotent opening af the veins under conditions of high fluid pressure (Romseg and Huber, 1963).

Vein quartz and albite are commonly 0.2-3.0 mm crystals showing ubiquitous defarmatianal textures such as undulase extinction, suberain boundaries and bent twin planes. Coarse grained laths of vein mica commonly occur interstf tel to quartz and albite (Phota 28). One ta locally 4-5X sulphides occur as sinuous interstitial aggregates in the veins (Photos 29o, 29b, 29c). Sulphide mineralogy is largely pyrrhotite and pyrite with minor sphalerite, chalcopyrite avid galena (Photos. 30,31). An unidentified opaque mineral, brown in reflected light with a pronounced 90 degree cleavage, also occurs in minor amounts within the veins (Photo.31), intergrown with pyrrhotite and pyrite. Fine blebs af chalcopyrite and pyrite commonly occur within more massive anhedral pyrrhatite (Phota32).

analytical results are presented in Table 4. The micas were found to be

remarkably chrome poor, considering the emerald green colour of the

mica-carbonate alteration observed. The highest chrome values observed

were less than 0.5 wt X Cr203 (Figure 10), considerably less than the 1-4

wt X Cr203 values generally displayed by fuchsitic micas. The green

colour of micas observed in hand specimen may perhaps be due, therefore,

to elevated contents of barium or vanadium. Unfortunately, vanadium was

not analyzed in these samples; however, barium contents were

consistently found to be anomalously high. Even fine groundmass micas

were found to contain up to 1 wtX Bad (Figure 12).

Doth vein and groundmass micas are very weakly to weakly paragonite

in composition (Figure 11). Na20 content in micas analyzed is generally

less than 2.5 weight percent

Dackscatter electron images of coarse hydrothermal mica grains within

quartz-albite veins show complex zoning (Photos. 33,34) and contain much

higher boriun contents than do the surrounding groundmass micas (Figure

12). Analyses of vein mica from a quartz-albite vein (sample P137, Photo

34) yielded DaO weight percent values as high as 1.5-2 wt X. Vein forming

hydrothermal fluids were therefore enriched in barium; the complex zoning

observed likely indicated occassional fluctuations in fluid composition. It

is interesting to note that the Hemlo gold deposits, located near

Marathon, Ontario contain similarly zoned and barium-rich hydrothermal

micas.

Descriptions of feldspar microprobe analyses are given in Table 5 and

the analytical results are presented in Table 6 and Figure 13. The data

clearly indicate that groundmass phase feldspars are andesine-oligoclase

in composition and are therefore likely of upper greenschist metamorphic

origin. In contrast, coarse feldspars within the hydrothermal

quortz*feldspar-carbonate veins are almost pure albite in composition,

strongly suggesting that sodium was highly mobile during vein formation.

Description of chlorite microprobe analyses are given in Table 7 and the analytical results are presented in Table 8 The few chlorite grains analyzed were all fine grained groundmass grains intergrown with albite, quartz, carbonate end mica Chrome contents ore low, with the highest values being less than 0.5 wUC Cr203 (Figure 14). The chlorites ore compositionolly classified os ripidolites (Hey, 1954. Slight variations in Fee and MnO contents of chlorites between the two samples analyzed may be due to bulk rock chemical differences (Figures 14 and 15).

RecommendationsThe style, intensity and extent (over 50 meters) of the alteration and

veining encountered in DDH BW-92-2, and the possible correlation of this zone with the quartz veining and green carbonate developed in outcrops on claim 1131377 to the northeast in Work Township, suggests o potentially extensive gold mineralized target To determine the extent of olteration and mineralization occuring along this zone, it is recommended that on IP survey be conducted between the Baseline and L6E along lines 15N to 33U Follow-up work would be dependent on the results. Although no significant assays have been obtained from the zone to dote, elevoted barium contents occurring within the hydrothermal micas and the occurrence of common sulphides with the quortz-albite veins may suggest an analogy to Hemlo-type mineralization.
