.0 INTRODUCTION

Between October 1 and October 22,1991 regional IP/Resistivity and total field magnetic surveys were carried out on three lines in the West Hemlo area. The objective of the program was to determine whether geophysical methods could be used over the Black River clay belt to assist in target definition.

A total of 9km of surveying was completed with line O 4- OOE and 25 -f COE run several times using various arrays to investigate maximum target resulution.

2.0 LOCATION AND ACCESS

The Black River claim group is located in the Pic Township on Highway 17 as an east-west elongate property between Hemlo and Marathon. The centre of the group Is approximately 12km east of Marathon.

The property is accessible by Highway 17 which transects the east portion of the group by Highway 627 which cuts north-south through the western'end of the group. Further local access is provided by the CPR railway in the south-east and by various secondary bush roads. Two power grids cut the property in the northeast and southeast sections.

3.0 CLAIM STATUS

The Black River group consists of one hundred and twenty (120) unpatented mining claims. The following twenty four (24) claims, which are the subject of this report, are due for renewal on November 22, 1991:

4.0 PHYSIOGRAPHY

The topography of the Black River group varies greatly from fiat, low, swampy areas, which dominate, to steep near vertical cliffs formed by east-west trending ridges. The area is glacial covered with outcrops found mainly along the steep ridges.

Two rivers disect the property - the Black River in the east; the Pic River to the west. Both occupy wide valleys through Pleistocene deposits of varved clays, silty sands, coarse sand and minor gravel. In most areas the rivers are steep sided as well as the many creeks which flow into them which are also narrow.

The forest cover for the area is provided by black spruce, jackpine, white birch/poplar, fir and in the low areas alder undergrowth Is dominant.

5.0 REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The regional geology of the area is shown on Map 2439, "Heron Bay, Thunder Bay Districts", published in 1951 at a scale of one inch to one half mile (OGS) and has been described in Report 218 by T.L. Muir (OGS).

Early archean volcanic, sedimentary and plutonic rock constitute bedrock for most of the map area. Several occurrances of siltstone wacke shale and chert units appear within the pyrrhotite units.

Major faults in the area seem to coincide with the Pic River and east-west trending ridges sub-parallel to Playter Harbour.

The dominant rock units in the Heron Bay sequence appear to be a series of intercalated volcanic and sedimentary formations as follows:

1) Mafic volcanics of calc alkalic composition, massive, fine grained, medium to dark green flows.

2) Intermediate to felsic volcanics, mainly pyroclastic in nature. The units are medium green tuffaceous, layered and inhomogeneous.

3) Metasedimentary units consisting of clastic and chemical depositional types. Although siltstone predominate a minor occurence of argillites , shales, and laminated wackes derived from volcanic sources can be located.

The volcano-sedimentary sequence has been sandwiched between large plutonic masses - the Gowan Lake Pluton, the Heron Bay Pluton, the Pukaskwa Gneissic Complex and the Port Coldwell Alkalic Complex.

Swarms of Protoerozic mafic to felsic dykes and sills intrude the plutons and their associated metasedimentary/metavoicanic rock units.

6.0 PREVIOUS WORK

The west Hemlo area was extensively worked subsequent to the Hemlo discovery. Most of the work is this area focused along the barite horizon which strikes obliquely to the Trans Canada Highway.

The property has received intermittent exploration by Noranda and other companies, especially since the discovery of the Hemlo deposits. Since aquirlng the claims Noranda, has conducted only limited prospecting and sampling on the claim group.

6.1 Personnel

The linecutting and ground magnetometer surveys were undertaken by G. Doucet, Steve Stairs and Rod Swire, all employees of Noranda Exploration Company, Limited.

The IP/Resistivity survey was contracted to Canadian Mineral Exploration (CME) Consulting Ltd., 2406 - 555 West Hasting St., Vancouver, B.C. with field supervision provided by Dennis Morrison. The contract was supervised by J. Gingerich, Sr. Geophysicist, Noranda Exploration Company, Limited.

7.0 INSTRUMENTATION

7.1 Magnetometer Survey

A Scintrex MP-3 and GMS-19 proton procession magnetometers were utilized on the survey. Measurements of the earth's total geomagnetic field were taken at 12.5m and locally 5m stations. Diurnal corrections were made by integrating time and magnetic variations from base station readings with the synchronized field

magnetometer.

7.2 Induced Polarization/Resistivity Survey

The IP/Resistivity survey was undertaken by CME utilizing pole-dipole array, 'a' s 50m and spreads of n ^ 1 to 6. A 7.5 kw Huntec generator and transmitter was used with the ELRE-6 time domain receiver. Other array types were also used on line 0 + OOE and 25 + OOE to maximize target definition.

The parameters measured at each station were current (l), electrode potential (V) and chargeability (M). The apparent resistivities (R) were calculated from the measured currents and potentials such that R ^ KV/I where K is a geometric factor related to the geometry of the array. The measured chargeability Is a function of the polarizability of the ground and is expressed in MV/V.

8.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

8.1 Magnetometer Survey

The magnetometer survey was undertaken to assist mapping of structure and stratigraphy.

The survey delineated several strongly magnetic units in the southern and northern portion of the survey area. These are interpreted to map mafic volcanic stratigraphy. The anomalies to the north are thought to be part of the West Hemlo stratigraphy and the southern anomalies related to the Rule Lake mafic volcanics.

8.2 IP/Resistivity Survey

The IP/Resistivity survey was completed on three regional lines; 25 + OOE, O + OOEandaO

Line 25 + OOE; The pole-dipole survey delineated two definite bedrock anomalies, one located at 26 + 35N and the other at 35 + 65N. There Is also the inference to a possible anomaly in the vicinity of the regional power line.

The resistivity vertical section survey indicates possible IP anomalies at 24 + 75N and 28 + 75N. Due to asymmetry problems near the south current electrode, the location of these anomalies is not exact.

A possible anomaly is indicated on both arrays at approximately 28 4- SON. This anomaly is possibly a contact response.

Anomalies are interpreted to map sulphide heavy stratigraphy or structure.

Line 0 + OOE; The survey delineated two bedrock IP anomalies located at approximately 32 + 65N and 33 + 35N. A third possible anomaly was defined at 3S + 85N. Other probable anomalies are located at 224- 15N and 18 + 75N.

Follow-up dipole-dipole surveying confirmed the anomaly located at 33 4- SON and also eludes to a possibility of an anomaly at 324- SON.

Further differential and pole-pole surveying was done which provided additional resulution of the anomalies at 33 4-SON and 324- SON.

The delineated anomalies are Interpreted to map sulphide bearing stratigraphy near the mafic volcanic-sediment contact. Anomalies with weak to no associated magnetics likely define mineralized structures.

Line 30 4- 90W: Surveying on line 30 4- 90W delineated anomalies at 324- 35N, 35 4- 25N, 37 4- 85N and 42 -f 40N. There were no anomalies defined on the southern portion of the line due to noise introduced by the train track located immediately east of the line.

The most northerly IP anomaly corresponds with the West Hemlo barite horizon. The southern anomalies are not exposed and are interpreted to map mineralization near or at the volcanic-sediment contacts.

9.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The IP anomalies are Interpreted to map sulphide bearing stratigraphy or structure. There is no exposure of these anomalies and it is recommended that they be systematically drill tested.

FEB 2 6 1992Dear Mr. Anderson:

MINING LANDS BRANCHSubject: File # 2.14370 - (W9140-5071) West Hemlo-Biack River Claims

Further to our conversations of January 30 and February 3, 1992, l am writing to clarify the costs related to IP/resistivity, linecutting and magnetometer work undertaken in Pic Township, Hemlo area, Thunder Bay Mining District.

The costs related to this work are unusually high with respect to standard industry costs. This is largely because the work undertaken was not standard in design or implementation. The objective of the program was to establish an effective means of exploring the West Hemlo stratigraphy which was largely considered blind to geophysical techniques (Black River clay belt). Thus, the program consisted of three pre-selected regional lines which are separated by 2.5 km and 3.09 km respectively. Since the scope of this program was orientation or research directed the quality of this work exceeded industry standards.

Linecutting was undertaken by Norex personnel working in pairs for safety considerations. The lines were cut to a minimum 4 foot width to facilitate travel with heavy geophysical gear. Secant chaining done in tandem exceeds contract or quality which is usually done by a single person hip chaining and often back chaining.

The magnetometer survey required detailed precession with sampling in areas at 5m intervals to ensure exact anomaly resolution. Local contractors have bid up to 0250.00 per kilometer for similar grid surveying. The large spacing between lines prevents loop surveying and thus contractor unit costs would then be even higher.

The IP/resistivity work was undertaken with a 7.5 kw generator requiring 2 men to move unlike the 2.5 kw backframe units normally used. The highly unorthodox nature of the arrays used necessitated that CME Consulting, who was contracted to do this work hire Paparum Alakai and Albanian physicist who has specialized in these arrays. The costs of such an experienced crew are well above industry standards. The work involved in implementing these array is also very time consuming as electrode infinities are moved up to 3 km and then collapsed to 500m. Also, to reduce contact resistance up to 30 electrodes were used and focusing arrays required the introduction of regulating resistors to vary currents within the focusing electrodes. In general, the various arrays used required excessive amount of time as one configuration did not necessarily lend itself to the next array's configuration.

Mr. Ted Anderson -2- February 20, 1992

The work undertaken may seem excessive on a line cost basis. However, The results demonstrated that geophysical surveying can be undertaken in areas previously thought blind to geophysical techniques. This has had a very positive impact on exploration in this area and other clay covered regions.

The contract costs to Noranda alone exceeded 538,000. With Noranda personnel and support costs included over 550,000 was spent. When the assessment credits were submitted all work outside the claim area was excessively cut back since we recognized the high unit costs for this work. The submitted costs of 528,360 is a conservative evaluation of the work done on the claims filed for assessment.

l appreciate your consideration of these aforementioned factors in reviewing the allowed costs. If you require further information, please contact me at your convenience.

Yours truly,

Noranda Exploration Co., Ltd.(No Personal Liability)
