l.0 INTRODUCTION

During July of 1982 Noranda personnel carried out

a geological mapping program on the Cavern South 1-81 proper

ty. The exposure was poor and little lead-zinc mineralization

was found. However, because of the geologic setting and

lead-zinc mineralization in the vicinity, further evaluation

of the property is recommended.

2.0 LOCATION

The property is I6cated in Dorion Township in the

Thunder Bay Mining Division, approximately 75 kilometers

northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario (Figure 1). The property

covers parts of Concession VI in Lots 12 and 11 of Dorion

Township (Figure 2).

3.0 CLAIMS (Figure 2)

The property consists of four contiguous claims,

all of which are registered in the name of Noranda Explora

tion Company, Limited. The claim numbers are as follows:

TB604354

TB604355

TB604357

TB604358

4.0 ACCESS

Access to the property is good by bush and second

ary roads from Highway 11-17 at Dorion, 6 kilometers to the

southeast (Figure 3).

5.0 HI. STORY

There has been no known work carried out on the

property, although lead-zinc mineralized float has been

report by Tanton (1931).

There are lead-zinc showings to the north and

south of the property which were examined by trenches and

pits in the late 1920's. The galena and sphalerite was

located in solution breccias along fault zones within the

diabase sills. The mineralization' varied from a few inches

to a few feet in width in fault zones that were followed for

up to 600 meters (Tan t on-l 93 l ).

6.0 TOPOGRAPHY

The immediate area of the property is dominated by

dissected diabase capped hills with relief of greater than

200 meters (Figure 3). The property is situated in one of

the valleys with steep sides. The valley has been cut over

and is now covered by a thick second growth of poplar, tag

alders and other shrubs, resulting in difficult walking.

7.0 GEOLOGY (Figure 4)

The geological mapping was conducted by means of

pace and compass traverses along claim lines, streams and

randomly packed lines. The exposure on the property is poor

except along the diabase cliffs. There is no exposure on the

valley floor and the foot of the valley walls are buried in

a heavy talus slope.

The Kama Hil.l Formation (Upper Sibley Group) are

the only sediments exposed on the property. It is thought,

however, that the Rossport formation sediments underlie the

valley floor. This belief is based on observations to the

north. The Kama Hill Formation was identified by its fine-

-grained, thinly bedded nature as well as being non-

calcereous. The sediments were a dark grey to red.

The sections (Figure 5) observed on the valley

walls are made up of a thick (70m) dark, coarse-grained

diabase- sill at the top, overlying the Kama Hill Formation.

The contact is quite sharp but is only seen locally because

of the talus cover. From observations to the north a second

major diabase sill (approximately 30m) is probably present

within the Kama Hill Formation. This second dyke is also

suggested by a break in the slope of the hill and by the red"

tinge of this diabase which was noted in pieces on the talus

slope.

The sediments in the area dip shallowly (4 to

20 ) in various directions. The fault zones and solution

breccias appear to strike in a northeasterly direction and

dip steeply to both the northwest and southeast.

A number of pieces of l ead-zinc mineral i zed float

were found along the stream in the valleys at the south end

of the property. Some of this float contained massive lead-

-zinc (20 "/o combined), barite and calcite in what appears to

be a solution breccia. No source of the float was found on

the property and it is thought that it originated from the

mineralized fault zone to the south.

A known, two foot wide fault and solution breccia

zone was located on the northeast side of the property in

the diabase sill. The breccia strikes roughly northeast with

narrow (less than 10cm) lense-like pods of lead-zinc mineral

ization.

8 - 0

There has been no significant economic mineraliza

tion found on the property. However, because of the impres

sive lead-zinc mineralization to the north and south of the

property, similar geological setting, possible faulting

through the property and probably being close to the granitic

basement it is recommended that further work be carried out.

The following program is therefore proposed:

a) A grid be established on the claims.

b) A magnetometer and VLF-EM surey be conducted

over the grid.

c) Humic geochemical samples be collected at 25-

meter intervals on the grid.

d) The property be remapped.

Respectfully submitted,
