Location

'Hie Marsh Lake group is located immediately northeast of Atikokan along Highway 622 to Caland Ore. The property consists of 19 unleased mining claims numbered 4S7354 to 487365 inclusive and 560301 to 560307 inclusive, ^ fost of the claims are staked over old mining claims with patent surface rights only. 'Ihcse old mining claims are numbered X815, X816, X817, X818, X860, X861, X871 , G323 and G324 . Our claim gi'oup also borders Patented Mining Claims FF 4325, W 4 328, FF 4343 an FF 3199 to the southeast, and northeast.

All of the above mining claims are located in Schwenger Twp and arc shown on plan No. M-2364.

'Hie property is very accessible via Hwy 622 which traverses through the centre of property parallel to the baseline at a bearing of N600K. The northwest section of the property is also accessible by bush trail lead ing to Strawhat Lake. The No. 4 post of claim no. 487365 crosses this trail about 700 metres northeast of the town of Atikokan.

A large portion of the property is covered by a major swamp. This swamp was a major contributing factor in the incompletion of the surveys on this property in the spring flooding of 1981. The unsurveyed area is being completed during the winter-spring of 1982.

History

The previous regional geological mapping of the area has been done by F,. S. Moore (1939), partial systematic mapping by H. L. Smith (1891), M. W. Hartley (1939b), T. L. Tanton (1941a), Steep Rock Iron Mines Ltd and Caland Ore Company Ltd and R. Shklanka (1972).

M. W. Bartley and A. IV. Joliffe greatly contributed towards understanding this complex a rea. Shklanka locates on his map 4 diamond drill holes located within the claim group. The work was done by Rawn Iron Mines Ltd Steep Rock has the drill logs of these holes in their files.

Tlie Strawhat Lake Iron deposit located directly north of our claim group received extensive drilling in pursuit of iron ore at the bottom of the Strawhat Lake.

Caland Ore Company Ltd drilled 3 holes west and north of Margaret Lake. Caland Ore has also driven a drainage tunnel xmder Highway 622 for flood control of Margaret Lake. The tunnel is appi'oximately 1000 feet long and is located on the claim number 560303 and 560304 (MRO)* or Patented claim (SRO)* G324.

Regional Geology (Shklanka 1972)

The Steep Rock area is within the Superior Province of the Precambrian Shield and is at the southern contact of the Wabigoon Sub-Province of the Superior Province. 'Hie Steep Rock series is straddled by an east- west belt of metasedimentary rocks to the south and by a felsic in trusive to the east, northeast, north and northwest.

Tlic mctavolcanic me t a sedimentary sequence of the Steep Rock series extends eastward towards Sabawe Lake and Lac des Mille Lacs. A northeast extension of the Steep Rock series extends towards Finlayson Lake - Red Paint Lake and swings easterly to form the Lumby Lake mcta-volcanic - me t a sedimental*)' belt. A westerly belt of the Steep Rock series extends to the Mine Centre area.

All of the above, east, northeast and west belts of metavolcanic meta sediment ary belts are narrow and range in thickness from 500 metres to 4 - 6 km wide. The Steep Rock series forms its thickest sequence north of Atikokan. The Steep Rock series rocks have been intruded by mafic to felsic intrusives rocks.

Tlie mineral occurrence of most economic significant in the area was iron ore (goethitc-hematitc) which supported two major iron operations in the past: Steep Rock Iron Mines (1944-1979) and Gal and Ore Company Ltd. (1960-1980). A minor operation, Canadian Charleson Ltd, extracted goethitc-hematite from the gravel beds south of the Steep Rock Lake from 1958-1965.

Minor gold prospects were discovered in the area in the past, they are the Black Fly property, located about 700 metTcs west of Little Ganell Lake north of the Hogarth Pit (SRIM) , the Baartz prospect located directly west and south of the Black Fly property, and a third property located south and wst of the Wagita Bay dam. Some high but erratic, gold values have been obtained in the past from these three properties.

Recent gold studies in the Atikokan area have concluded that gold is associated with three major environments (after S.J. Wilkinson 1982) Gold deposits of the Atikokan Area, O.G.S., M.I).C. 24.

(i) Mann i on Lake Batholith type - in gneissic massive core of the batholith associated with north easterly trending regional lineaments and late trondhjemit.es which are locally sheared. Shearing strikes parallel to the lineaments and occurred during two or more episodes, the latest of which is related to the mineralization.

(ii) Contact Zone Type - is contained by the plutonic rocks which border the gneissic batholiths along the metavolcanic belt contact. Thin, discontinuous shear zones host the mineraliz ation which is related to at least two episodes of shearing.

* * 4 * J

(i i i) Mctavolcanic-Hosted St rat abound Type - j s associated withlaterally extensive beds of altered felsic tuffs and pyriti- ferous chemical sediments. The mineralization is due to epigenetic enrichment of gold associated within one instance, the intrusion of quart z-feldspar porphyry and in the other, faulting and shearing.

The latter two types ai^e considered to be favourable for occurring on the Marsh Lake property.

Structure

Major structui'al trends predominates in the region and on the property. The faults of major importance in the 7~egion a re t he Quetico, Samuel and Bartley Fault. Many minor faults ai~e also located in the area, and are as follows: Marsh Lake, Strawhat Lake, Atikokan, Dismal Lake, Apungsisagen Lake and Rawn Lake Faults.

The Marsh Lake fault is of significance to the property because of its direction and location along the Mctavolcanic-Marmian Lake Batholith inter face or contact.

Recent staking northeast of the property, east of the Rami Reservoir, near Blue Creek, was initiated by the discovery of a wide quartz carbon ate vein in "-a major east-west structural trend with associated gold and silver values. The major structural trend swings slightly southward to wards the Marsh Lake Faults zone. This structure has been interpreted from aerial photos. There is strong reason to believe from the air photo interpretation that this structure extends eastward to the Atiko Gold Mines property located 8 miles east of the property.

Local Geologynot

Detail surface geological mapping of this property has-been done by the author, yet,the author has used Shklanka's (1972) geology map to inter pret the limited geophysical results.

Shklanka observed the following rock types on the property.

It appears from preliminary examination that a large portion of the property is extensively covered with shallow to deep overburden. Most of the good outcrops occur on the northwest and southeast side of the property, with a wide long march covering the central portion of 'the property.

Grid lines - a total of 17.37 km of picket lines and 2.9 km of baseline were cut in spring of 1981. This total linecutting did not cover the entire property. The remaining linecutting is being completed during the winter of 1982.

The present grid was cut with a baseline striking N 60 E and pickets at every 25 metres. Picket lines were established at every 100 metres along the baseline at 90 to the baseline. Stations were established at every 25 metres along the picket lines.

Because of the late start on this grid in the spring of 1981 the magnetic and electromagnetic surveys were not carried out over the complete grid because of sprang flooding in the marshy ai^eas.

Goophysi cal Surveys^

Magnetic - The magnetic readings were taken over 455 stations over a measured distance of 10.7 km along the picket lines. The instrument used was a Scintrex Proton Magnetometer with a resolution of l gamma. The closed loop method was used ever)' hour to correct for diornal variations in the earth's magiietic field. The readings were plotted and contoured on a map attached with this report.

The contour intervals are at 25 gamma and 100 gamma. The gamma readings range from -716 gamma on line 4+OON at 3+50E to a high of 2327 on line 1+OON at 6+50E.

Results of Magnetic Survey

Several magnetic high anomalies were detected in the survey. Two major anomalies are located on lines 0+00, 1+00, 2+00 and 3+OON between 0+00

and 0+75W. This magnetic anomaly appears to be caused by a mafic intrusive mass with disseminated magnetite. A second magnetic high anomaly is located on lines 2CHOON, 21+OON, 22+OQN and 23+00 at 0+75W. This magnetic anoinaly may be caused by a narrow magnetic iron formation,

A third major magnetic high anomaly was detected on line 1-UJON starting at 5+50E. Insufficient data is available from this area to properly inter pret this anomaly. Additional lines have been cut in this area to deline ate this anomaly.

Several areas of magnelic lows arc present on this survey. They may be caused by metasediment s low in magnetic iron and therefore will expi'ess themselves as lows. However one magnetic low anomaly of importance may be located between lines 19+OON at 1+25E and 24+OON at 0+75R. Field in formation has revealed a major quartz-carbonate vein in this general area and the magnetic low expressed here may represent a major quartz-carbonate vein intruded along the Marsh Lake fault contact, between the metavolcanic and the Marmian Lake batholith. This magnetic low warrants closer invest igation for a potential gold environment. Further intrepretation of the magnetics of the property will be completed in 1982 when a complete magiietic survey of the property will have been clone.

Electromagnetic Survey;

Electromagnetic, surveys were conducted on the property with an Apex Max Min li Unit. It was operated in the horizontal loop maximum mode with the transmitter always carried south of the receiver. The two surveys, both utilizing a 100 metre coil separation were carried out over part of the grid. One was done on a frequency of 1777 hz while the second used 444 hz. Results were plotted as profiles and are presented on attached maps.

In all surveys 7-cadings were taken in 25 metre intervals along the picket lines. A reading is constituted by the In-Phase and quadrature component of the secondary field.

Re.siilts of^jyectisomagnetic Survey

Only 163 readings were taken at both frequencies since most of the ground was flooded at the time of the surveys. Surveys across the highway was not possible because of the cable system.

The surveys were therefore incomplete and only partial conductors were encountered. Only the southwest portion of the grid received sufficient coverage to partially detect some anomalies near the highway.

The survey began to detect the western edge of a strong conductor south of the baseline on lines 0+00, 1+OQN, 2+OON, 3+OON and 4+OON at 2+OOE, 3+OOE, 3+25E, and 2+SOE respectively.

. . . . 6

The lines 0+OQ to 7+OQN did not extend far enough west to detect major airborne anomalies in thia area.

No other conductors were detected on the property because of the limited survey coverage. Tt is the intention of SRIM to complete the coverage of the entire claim group in 1982 with additional line cutting, mag and E.M. surveys and to carry out geological mapping of the property.

Conclusion^

The mag and H.M. survey carried nut are inconclusive because of the extent of coverage by the surveys.

McRae's gold survey of the Atikokan area gives additional support that the Marsh Lake Fault zone i s a potential gold bearing structure.

Previous drilling by Rawn Iron Mine along the Marsh Lake Paull zone has indicated favourable geological and mineralogical environment for gold mineralization.

The occurrence of a large quartz-carbonate vein on lines 2Q+OON to 22+OON near the base line supports the concept of gold environment on the property.

Recommendation

1) It is recommended that the grid be extended to the boundaries of the property.

2) That the extension and areas not previously covered be surveyed with a proton magnetometer and FM-16.

3) That the geology be mapped in detail with the objective of locating gold environments along the Marsh Lake Fault Zone.

Notice of Intent

for Technical Reports

1983 92 01

2.4656

An examination of your survey report indicates that the requirements of The Ontario Mining Act have not been fully met to warrant maximum assessment work credits. This notice is merely a warning that you will not be allowed the number of assessment work days credits that you expected and also that in approximately 15 days from the above date, the mining recorder will be authorized to change the entries on his record sheets to agree with the enclosed statement. Please note that until such time as the recorder actually changes the entry on the record sheet, the status of the claim remains unchanged.

If you are of the opinion that these changes by the mining recorder will jeopardize your claims, you may during the next fifteen days apply to the Mining and Lands Commissioner for an extension of time. Abstracts should be sent with your application.

If the reduced rate of credits does not jeopardize the status of the claims then you need not seek relief from the Mining and Lands Commissioner and this Notice of Intent may be disregarded.

If your survey was submitted and assessed under the "Special Provision-Performance and Coverage" method and you are of the opinion that a re-appraisal under the "Man-days" method would result in the approval of a greater number of days credit per claim, you may, within the said fifteen day period, submit assessment work breakdowns listing the employees names, addresses and the dates and hours they worked. The new work breakdowns should be submitted direct to the Lands Management Branch, Toronto. The report will be re-assessed and a new statement of credits based on actual days worked will be issued.
