INTRODUCTION
31C1SNWTO8I 63.8646 PALMERSTON 010
The Property
The Substantial Developments property consists of 39 claims in three
groups as follows:
(i) Bolton Lakes Group (13 claims)
Claim nos. EO-37986 to 89, Olden Township
EO-38350 to 58, Olden Township
(ii) Clarendon Group (2 claims) -
Claim nos. EO-218841 and 42, Oso Township
(iii) Cross Lake Group (24 claims)
Claim nos.' EO-38340 81 41, Olden Township
EO-38346 to 49, Olden Township
EO-38535 to 48, Palmerston Township
EO-218843 to 46, Palmerston Township
Location and Access
The property is located in Frontenac County, about 40 miles north-
northwest of Kingston, Ontario. The claims are accessible by local gravel
roads running west from Highway No. 509 at distances of l, 2 and 5 miles
north of the junction of Highways No. 7 and 509 near Sharbot Lake (see
Figure 1).

Topography
The area is one of outcrop ridges and swampy hollow terrain
trending northeasterly. The ridges and hollows average 200 to 500 feet
across and have a local relief of 30 to 60 feet. The overall relief is
relatively low; maximum and minimum elevations in the area are 950 and
700 feet. Forest cover is thin to moderate and scrubby, and locally dense
in some swampy flats. Outcrop exposure is relatively extensive.
History
The 39 claims were part of a large block of claims staked by
Substantial Developments Limited in 1968-69. A limited amount of trenching
and line cutting was carried out during the summer of 1969.
The property was optioned by the Keevil Mining Group on October 22,
1969 following geological reconnaissance and detailed examination of trenches.
Exploration work on adjacent properties held by Rexdale Mines Limited
consisted of trenching, radiometric surveys and diamond drilling.
Guardian Mines Limited also did radiometric surveying, trenching and
diamond drilling on another adjacent property during 1968-69.
General Geology
The property lies within the Grenville province of the Canadian Shield,
south of the Grenville geomagnetic fence. Geological mapping by the Ontario
Department of Mines (map nos. 1947-5 and 1956-4) indicates the claims are
- 3 -
underlain by marble, paragneiss, and amphibolite, which are cut by granitic
gneiss, all trending generally 045Y45 0 SE and immediately northwest (over
a O to 4 mile span) of the southwest end of a large (5 x 30 mile), younger
intrusive diorite-gabbro and granite complex (see Figure 1).
Uranium mineralization is associated with pegmatites and granite.
WORK DONE
Summary
1. Airborne Radiometric Survey - Flight lines at 1/16 mile spacings
(all 39 claims), for a total of 53.36 miles.
2. Geological Mapping (4 claims - EO-37986 to 89). '
3. Ground Radiometric Survey (4 claims - EO-37986 to 89)
Results of Work
1. Airborne Radiometric Survey
The 230 line-miles of survey data are shown on Map No. l where
the contours represent ppm equivalent UsOg, i.e., the data are presented as
a continuous radiometric assay. Cosmic radiation has been removed from the
data. Background is less than 40 ppm and has not been contoured. Anomalous
zones are represented as in excess of 60 ppm.
- 4 -
Several distinct anomalies exist having amplitudes in excess of 60
and 80 ppm, and these should be prospected.
2. Geological Mapping
The field work on claims EO-37986 to 89 (part of the Bolton Lakes
group) indicates that the claims are underlain by five rock units, all trending
about 040Y035 0 SE. From southeast to northwest the units are as follows
(see Figure 2 and Map No. 2):
(i) White Lake granite; red, gneissic granite
(ii) Marble - white, with 10^, 1/4" - 12" conformable quartz pods
(iii) White pegmatite - quartz-rich, discontinuous, mafic poor,
with minor local uranium and iron stains. This pegmatite
forms the largest pegmatite mass outlined on the property
underlying an area of 300 x 800 feet (see Map No. 2).
(iv) Paragneiss - an amphibole-biotite-quart z-feldspar gneiss
including some granitic gneiss,
(v) Granitic gneiss - pink, partly migmatitic, with pegmatitic
phases.
Pegmatitic phases in the granitic gneiss are red-pink to pink-white
in colour, coarse grained, low in biotite and other mafics (5/S and less), and
lack any significant staining. The pegmatite occurs as scattered and dis
continuous streaks, patches, and sills averaging less than 4 feet in thickness
-5 -
in the northwest part of the claims, and attaining widths of 50 feet to the
southeast. The pegmatites make up approximately 10^, of the rocks in the
northwest part of the claims, and increase in abundance to the southeast,
where they form 25X+ of the outcrop within a l, 500 feet wide strip at the
southeast margin of the granitic gneiss. Within this strip, a pair of
relatively continuous 300 feet wide zones containing 50J^ pegmatite lenses
are inferred.
A small marble lens also occurs in the granitic gneiss (see Map No. 2).
The contacts between the main units were not seen except for one
between marble and white pegmatite on the south side of the latter; that
contact is apparently conformable.
The white pegmatite found on the claims is probably related to the
White Lake granite, and it may be that the pegmatitic phases in the granitic
gneiss are also so related.
3. Ground Radiometric Survey
Uranium mineralization is associated with the granite, white pegmatite,
and pegmatitic phases in the granitic gneiss.
The scintillometer survey (McPhar Spectrometer Type TV-1) gave
indications as follows (see Map No.2):
(i) gneissic red granite - average 4000 - 5000 cpm Tl - overall
- maximum 8000 cpm T l - occasional areasof 10* x 10'
-6 -
(ii) white pegmatite - average 4000 - 8000 cpm Tl - overall
- average 8000 - 12000 cpm Tl - 50' x 100' areas
- maximum 15000 cpm T l - 3* x 3' spots
- the spot highs are associated in some cases with local staining
and/or sandblast locations (this is the only unit on the claims
showing evidence of previous work - three pops were found).
(iii) granitic gneiss - average 2000 - 4000 cpm Tl - overall
- higher average is on more migmatitic material.
(iv) pegmatite, within (iii) - average 3000 - 6000 cpm Tl - overall
- average 6000 - 10000 cpm Tl - about 50' widthsIn a few areas
- maximum 18000 cpm Tl - odd 3* x 3' spot
Background readings averaged 2,000 cpm T l
No significant anomalies, i.e. anomalies lOx background or better,
were found.

RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of work on these claims and on claim nos. EO-218841
and 42 (Clarendon Group) (detailed geological and scintillometer survey -
not reported) the following recommendations are made:
(i) No further work on claim nos. EO-37986 to 89.
(ii) Reconnaissance radiometric and geological survey on the remaining
claims of the Bolton Lake group, to evaluate and delimit the White
Lake granite, with particular emphasis on checking the ground
immediately beyond the margins of the granite.
(iii) No further work on Clarendon group claims.
(iv) Reconnaissance radiometric and geological examination of Cross Lake
group claims which lie along strike of the Rexdale Mines showings.
Priorities and emphasis to the above derive from the airborne radio
metric results.

APPENDIX I
INSTRUMENTATION
The aerial survey was performed with a Beaver aircraft carrying:
1. McPhar Geophysics Ltd. AV-1 3-channel spectrometer
2. APN-1 radio-altimeter
3. DeHavilland MK VII sequence camera
4. MF E 6-channel chart recorder
The survey was flown at 1/16 mile intervals in a NW-SE direction at
a mean terrain clearance of 150 feet,
The McPhar AV-1 - Spectrometer'
The AV-1 spectrometer is of the threshold type, providing the following
outputs:
(a) K 4- U * Th; threshold set at 0.8 MeV
(b) U 4- Th; threshold set at 1.6 MeV
(c) Th; threshold set at 2.5 MeV
The response time for the above three outputs respectively was set
at l, 2, and 3 seconds.
The crystal is of sodium iodide activated with thallium, 4 inches high
and 6 inches in diameter. Three electrically-balanced magnetically-shielded
photomultiplier tubes are optically coupled to the crystal.
A cesium source maintains calibration within l?^ stability in gain
shift and drift over a 24 hour period.
