Introduction:
This work report outlines physical procedures and geological observations made during a manual stripping and trenching program performed within Keefer Township of the Timmins West camp. The areas of stripping and trenching were subsequently mudpack blasted at various locations to examine subsurface geological characteristics to define further areas of interest, which could be subjected to additional mechanical stripping procedures in the future. Incentives for the current work program were undertaken as a follow up to a previous mechanical stripping program performed between Sept 9-Sept 20 1999, which exposed areas of bedrock interest leading eastward beyond the overburden boundary on its eastern perimeter. This mechanical stripping program targeted the area previously outlined by an earlier OGS airborne survey, was also investigated for its base metal virtues by Texas Gulf Sulfur Co. in 1971. Core logs and assay results from the Texas Gulf, 3-hole, 93 3-foot diamond-drilling program formed the initial incentive to reinitiate exploration opportunities within this area of interest, and formed the basis of all subsequent exploration initiatives to the present time.
Geological mapping of the perimeter area discovered additional areas of outcropping that were recommended for smaller manual trenching operations. These trenches were to be used as a guide for additional mechanical stripping extensions of the primary area to the immediate east. This area was also the target of a follow-up Fixed Loop TEM survey, which was used to better define the results of the earlier HLEM program previously undertaken in!999. As a result, the exposures coincident with the TEM anomalies defined from the survey formed the basis for the procedures outlined within this report.
This target area lies just north of the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone and displays an extremely favorable environment for VMS style base metal deposition potential. Details of the previous mechanical stripping operation and HLEM procedures can be viewed in Assessment file T-4550
Location and Access:
The property is located within the south-east portion of Keefer Township in the Timmins west exploration camp. The claims are located approximately 20 kms west of the junction for highways 101 and 144. At roughly 1.5 kms west of the Star Lake entrance, a forestry access road leads south-east towards a cleared parking area which is then within a 5-10 minute walk of the project location. Maps provided with this report show the specific location. Driving time from Timmins to the project area is approximately 30 minutes.
Property:
The property consists of 117 unpatented claim units. The claims are on record as being held 100^0 by Frank Galata of Guelph Ontario. The area of work outlined within this report was performed within the central-east sector of Claim P947888. A map of the mechanically stripped boundary zone is being provided as a detailed location marker for the manual work to its East.
Work Program and Observations:
Between the periods of May 10 and May 13, 2002, an area 150 east of the mechanically stripped limits was chosen for manual stripping and blasting. This earlier mechanical stripping activity exposed areas of bedrock along its perimeter that exhibited Interflow Sediment Heterolithic Breccia characteristics and a program was undertaken to explore its extents. The provided map of the mechanically stripped zone outlines the areas worked. The work crew consisted of two individuals namely Frank Galata Jr. and Frank Galata Sr. A part time helper was also made available to aid in equipment transport and pit mucking requirements subsequent to mud blasting. 2.5 days were spent clearing trees and brush prior to stripping and cleaning of the area. Another 1.5 days were spent preparing clay mud for the explosive packs as well as the blasting and mucking. Axes, picks and shovels were used to perform the work along with manual washing of the exposures. Days 1-4 were approximately 9 hours long. Mobilization in and out of the site was one half day each for a total of 5 days of activity.
Two areas of interest were outlined. The first was an area (south zone) subjected only to shallow stripping and mud blasting. This area is located just 10 feet west of grid location 5600E, 4600N. This zone is the smaller of the two workings. The formation trends north south and covers an area approximately 4 feet wide and 15 feet long. Pillow explosive packs were laid over the lower part of the exposure and covered with extensive amounts of heavy clay mud prior to blasting. The exposed bedrock consisted of Sediment (Iron Formation) in contact with a Mafic Volcanic (Massive). The second area of trenching was performed 100 feet to the north, approximately l O feet west of grid location 5600E, and 4700N. This exposure is larger at approximately 18 feet wide by 23 feet long. Where the bedrock dipped beneath the overburden to the east of the exposure, a trench paralleling the exposure for approximately 5 feet deep, was dug. Where the bedrock dipped steeply beneath heavier overburden to the immediate north, two narrower (2 foot wide) trenches (2 and 4 feet deep) were extended six more feet to the immediate north. The exposed bedrock within the main trench consisted of Sediment (Interflow Volcanoclastics) in contact with Mafic Volcanics (Massive). The extended narrow trenching to the north displayed Mafic Volcanics (Massive). The Cherty appearance to the exposed bedrock is noted as an alteration feature.
Shallow subsurface observations after blasting within the south pit revealed Chalcopyrite seams in a banded iron formation containing roughly 3-5 "/-o sulphides. The north trench exposed a larger area of altered interflow sediments (chert) trending north, north-west which contained heavier amounts of Chalcopyrite seams. This structure appeared to dip beneath massive mafic volcanics exposed by the extended trenching to the north. The overall geological package appeared to be a distinct Interflow Sediment, Mafic Volcanic contact, which has also been observed at several other locations north of the mechanically stripped boundary.
Samples taken at the time of the blasting were sent for assay to X-RAL laboratories in Toronto which also included whole rock analysis. Sampling of the Cherty Interflow Sediment from the northern pit resulted in the submission of 3, 10 Lb bulk grab sample assemblages. Results returned up to 1790 ppm Copper, 2390 ppm Zinc, and 103 ppm Cobalt. Whole rock analysis on sample I indicate a highly siliceous component to the bedrock, which is consistent with Cherty Interflow Sediment characteristics.
Recommendations:
Because of this work program, plugger drilling of the showings is highly warranted to test the formation at depths greater than that obtainable through surface boundary blasting. Additional mechanical stripping of this area has also been recommended to the immediate east where several areas of Interflow Sediment and Heterolithic Breccia outcroppings are seen leading over towards the Keefer/Denton township line 400 feet further. Due to the geological surface mineralization in proximity to the TEM anomaly coincident with line 5600 E, a diamond drill hole should be performed to intersect the zone at depth.
Conclusions:
This external stripped and trenched chert zone is in addition to several such bedrock occurrences within the outer perimeter of the mechanically stripped area. These zones to the immediate north west of the mechanical stripping area contain anomalous Copper l Zinc mineralization as well as appreciable amounts of Molybdenum, and are seen to be commonly associated with Chert outcroppings in contact with Porphyritics. Due to a complicated geological setting consisting of numerous and diversified geological settings, a detailed geological mapping program will be undertaken in a future program to better define the association of these formations within the overall geological setting of the area.
