^^^MARTIN BAY CLAIM GROUP________________________________________^
INTRODUCTION
The Martin Bay Claim Group consists of 3 unpatented mining claims
numbered KRL 502922, 502925, and 502932. These claims were staked by
Minorex Limited on September 18, 1978.
The claims, on the north shore of Martin Bay of Red Lake, are
easily accessible by boat.
Geological mapping by the author, assissted by Mr. C. Morgan, was
conducted from June 20, 1981 to June 27, 1981 inclusive. A VLF electro
magnetic survey was also conducted during this period by Mr. B. Foster.
Ground reference was made through the use of cut lines spaced at 400'
intervals.
Forest cover is mainly open deciduous and exposure is adequate.
Stripping of outcrop is difficult because of thin moss cover and the
rubbly surface of the outcrops.
STRATIGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY
The entire property is underlain by a thick sequence of mafic to
intermediate flows. The only other rock type exposed was feldspar por
phyritic intrusives.
The andesitic volcanicswere seen as homogenous flows, pillowed flows
and coarse grained flow centres. Tops were to the north.
The feldspar porphyritic dikes were sen at several attitudes cross
cutting the mafic flows.
A/ Feldspar Porphyritic Dikes
The dikes are narrow, from 10 cm to 1.5 m. Being intermediate in
composition, the weathered surface is buff to grey while the fresh

..arface is dark and chloritic. Mineralogy is about J Ofo white anhedral
plagioclase phenocrysts, up to 6mm, in a grey, fine grained intermediate
to mafic matrix.
Some dikes contained barren laddered quartz, veins.
B/ Andesite Flows
These rocks are fine to medium grained and green in colour. Gener
ally massive to weakly foliated, only some zones show strong shearing,
particularly along the lake shore at the south edge of the property.
The pillowed flows are well packed, contain very little inter-
pillow sediment and reach sizes exceeding 2 m. Pipe amygdules were noted
on occasion. The pillows are not elongated with a preferred orientation.
Pyrite was seen in most outcrops from trace amounts up to 5^ dis
seminated euhedrons
Alteration in the form of carbonatization and silicification was
recorded at varying intensities from nil to pervasive across the prop
erty. This cannot be used to define stratigraphy at present. A weak
epidote alteration was also seen on occasion.
Quartz carbonate injections occur as irregular veins and blebs with
thicknesses from 3 to 20 cm. Strike length rarely exceeds 2 m.
A flow breccia with subround elliptical and ribbon fragments (30x
10 cm) in a foliated matrix was recorded at 27E 200S
A 20 cm shear zone with an 8 cm central quartz vein was located at
20E BL.
The flow centres are coarse grained, granular, massive and homogenous
They resemble chloritic diorite.
A fault/shear zone, up to 2 m wide, located on the lakeshore east
of the claim group, strikes on to the property. The mineralization on
the lakeshore ( 50?a pyrite) was not detected on the claim group.
METAMORPHISM AND STRUCTURE
Metamorphic grade on the andesite flows is greenschist facies.
A large fault traverses the north edge of the group. This was exposed by diamond drilling conducted by Minorex Limited in 1979-
Geophysical patterns indicate the fault continues to the east and west
of the property.
Shearing along the lakeshore at the south edge of the property
and topographic expression suggest a second,even larger,fault passes to
the south of the group. Offshoots of these major faults may be repre
sented by the shear zones within the claim group.
Mineralization and Alteration
Visible mineralization in outcrop within the claim group is rest
ricted to minor amounts of pyrite. Mineralization within the shear zones
has interesting assay values, however, the occurence as seen in the drill
core, is in the matrix making it secondary to stratigraphy.
All the significant veins have been sampled.
Varying amounts of alteration suggest a yet undiscovered trend to
the source. This may, in fact be fault controlled alteration,as opposed
to primary stratigraphic alteration.
GEOPHYSICS
A VLF electromagnetic survey, totalling 11,600 feet of readings
was completed. A Crone Radem unit was employed taking readings at 50
foot intervals along cut lines spaced 400 feet apart.
A single anomaly outlining the northern fault was delineated. Two
other very small (2 point) anomalies of unknown origin appeared on L^-E
250S and L8E 350N.
CONCLUSIONS
No new areas of mineralization were uncovered. All existing miner
alization as shown by geophysics and drilling is fault controlled and
not stratiform. Gold mineralization that might have been associated
with the fault activity should have appeared in the drill hole assays.
Having failed to return any encouraging values, the secondary hydro
thermal mineralization potential of the property seems limited.
The presence of a distal facies (sphalerite rich) volcanogenic
massive sulphide body is a dim possibility. This could have a very weak
geophysical response. No evidence for submarine exhalative activity was
detected in the field, making this unlikely.
