ABSTRACT

This report describes the basal till sampling and heavy

media separation process for claims staked by Newroont Exploration

of Canada Ltd. in Burrows Township, Ontario. The area is

located in NTS area 41P/14 or roughly 47O47'N latitude and

81025'W longitude UTM grid 5292000 m North and 471000 m East.

Areas of possible near-surface till were spotted from

airphoto and ground reconnaissance. A timberskidder mounted

backhoe was used to dig test pits. Where till sheets were

noted, they were samples and screened in the field to -l cm.

One samll 2-4 kg sample was assayed directly for Au, Cu, Zn,

Ni, Cr and As to establish background values. A larger 30 to

60 kg sample was subjected to heavy media { 3.3 sp. gr.)

separation and separated into magnetic and -nonmagnetic frac

tions. The nonmagnetic fraction was assayed for Au, Cu, Zn

and As, while the magnetic fraction was assayed for Au only.

Microscopic examination of the heavy media fractions determin

ed the main minerals to be epidote, almandine garnet, horn-

blond with - pyroxene with lesser amcSunts of carbonate,

serpentine and pyrite in the nonmagnetic fraction while

magnetite comprised the bulk of the magnetic fraction. For

the most part, the magnetic fraction weighed one half to two

thirds the weight of the nonmagnetic fraction. Visable gold

was noted in samples from all areas except the EPS area.

INTRODUCTION

HISTORY

The purpose of this report is to describe in detail the

assessment work performed on the Burrows Township property.

Project 285.

Previous information submitted for assessment work credit

29 January 1982 on the original Sirola-Karvinen option is

included for the sake of continuity. The original Sirola-

Karvinen claim groups were designated the East Claim CMUf

covering eight claims, numbered L. 550160, 550162 through

550168 inclusive. Work on Hewmont claim L. 628518 was

submitted with that report to round out the group. The West

Claim Group covered sixteen claims, numbered L. 547207

through L. 547222 inclusive.

In order to tie the two claim groups together in ene

contiguous block and to cover the favorable aeromagnetic

horizon Newmont staked a further one hundred eighteen (118)

claims between 27 July 19*1 and 20 July 1M2 in Burrows and

Kemp Townships. These latter claims will be the primary

subject of this report.

The claims will be illustrated on three e-verlapping map

sheets at a scale of 1:50OO metric, the grid* *V*r which the

survey was conducted were cut by personnel of Henry T. Goncalec

Exploration Services Ltd. at 100 meter spacings with pickets

at 25 meter intervals.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

Figure l is a key map showing the relative location of

Burrows Township to Timmins, Gogama and Shiningtree at a scale

of l inch to 50 miles. Burrows Township is roughly 80 kilo

meters south of Timmins and 144 kilometers north of Sudbury.

Burrows Township can be reached from Timmins or Sudbury by

travelling on highway 144 to highway 560 and east about 70

kilometers to the Grassy Lake road. The Grassy Lake read will

reach the Kerop-Burrows township boundary at tbe north en* of Marne

Lake roughly 31 kilometers from highway 560, Travelling south en Vine

Street from Timmins, Burrows Township is roughly 60 kileaeters

distant although portions of the road are not well maintained.

Figure 2 is a Burrows Township claim location nap showing

the two original claim blocks contained in the Sirola-mrrinen

option agreement, designated East Group and West Croyp. Also

shown are the claim blocks which are the three contiguous claist

groups submitted for assessment credit in this report and

designated East Group, North Group and South Group in order to

conform with the map sheets.

All claim blocks nay be reached by motor vehicle frost the

main Grassy Lake road which bisects the property and enters

Cabot Township south of Burrows Township.

Several roads and drivable trails lead to nearly every

claim. Mouse Lake, Little Marne Lake and Marne Lake can be

serviced by float equipped aircraft in the susswr and ski

CLAIMS SURVEYED AND DATE OF SURVEY

Assessment work credit is being applied for twenty eight

(28) claims covered by the basal till geochemistry survey con

ducted between 2 October 1981 and 20 October 1981.

BURROWS TOWNSHIP

The survey is filed under expenditure days credit. The

work was done on the following ten (10) claims: L. 622314,

L. 622315, L. 622254, L. 622255, L. 622256, L. 624494, L. 624495,

L. 624496, L. 634110 and L. 620953 and is spread over the

following eighteen (18) claims: L. 628516, L. 622240, L. 622241,

L. 643017, L. 622247, L. 622248, L. 643109, L. 6222316, L. 622322,

L. 622325, L. 622321, L. 622242, L. 622243, L. 622244, L. 622245,

L. 622246, L. 622249 and L. 622250. Figure 2 shows the relative

layout and location of these claims.

In examining receipts for work performed and excluding

expenses for living expenses and transportation to and from

the job site the usable expenditure is $ 16, 626. 52. The previous

report used 58,122.07 which leaves a usable expenditure of

58,504.45 to be applied to claims covered by this report.

Therefore:

56720 days/claim

28 claims

PHYSIOGRAPHY

The area is low to moderate in relief, generally less than

30m. The sharpest relief is where eskers and sand dunes are

encountered with 60m being the largest local variation.

The low areas are filled with proglacial lacustrine clay

and silt covered with organically derived muskeg.

The areas of more moderate relief are covered with glacial

till and outwash sand. Before the area had become stabilized

by vegetation prevailing winds had created burchan dunes with

cusps toward the wind direction, these dunes are confined to

the eastern portion of the project area.

Glacial till was encountered just above the bedrock

surface. This till sheet most probably covers the entire area,

however, where overburden is in excess of 5 meters, the presence

or absence of glacial till could not b* ascertained with

certainty because of the limit of reach of the backho* was S

meters.

Several eskers traversed the property in a north-south

direction notably along the east shore of Mouse Lake and down

the main road east of Ottereyes, Zurloff and Kuitosse Lakes.

Drainage is to the north from Mouse Lake to Burrows Creek

and west to Mattagami Lake for the western one half of the area.

Drainage for the eastern one half of the area is from Little

Marne Lake to Marne Lake to Upper Grassy Lake thence north to

Sinclair Lake and to the Mattagami River. The Mattagami River

eventually joins the Moose River which flows into the south end

of James Bay.

- 9 -

NATURAL RESOURCES

The project area is forest covered. Jackptne with sane red

and white pine grow on the sandy portions. Poplar, birch,

spruce and lesser amounts of pine and alders cover the till and

outwash areas. Swamp and muskeg covered areas support alders,

spruce, balsam, tamarack and cedar. BlueberrieS, Labrador tea

and numerous grasses, ferns and wildflowers are eoMttn throughout

the project area.

Timber operations have been active in the past and the

area was last burned over some twenty years ago. Much of th*

sand covered area has been the subject of a reforestation effort

by the Ministry of Natural Resources and harvesting could begin

in the next ten to fifteen years.

- 10 -

WILDLIFE

Moose, bear, wolf, fox and lynx were sighted on occassion

as were beaver, weasel, ground nog, -muskrat, racoon and skunk.

Bald eagles, ospreys, red tail hawks, owls, raven, crows,

whiskey jacks, robins, sparrows, swallows, flickers, black birds,

mallard ducks, pin tail ducks, teal, Canadian geese, and spruce

and ruffed grouse were observed. The area is prime grouse,

moose and bear hunting country with many hunters converging

there during the spring and fall hunting seasons. Several

trappers are active in the area daring the trapping seasen.

The lakes contain northern pike and pickerel and the st

are often inhabited by trout providing fishermen with plenty

of easily accessible fishing sites.

PREVIOUS WORK

Early government sponsored work was conducted by

T.L. Gledhill (1926) during a reconnaissance of the Grassy

River. At various tiroes parts of the surrounding area "have been

mapped or otherwise investigated by government geologists,

however, Burrows and Kemp Townships have not been the subjects

of any in-depth study. Beginning in 1973 and again in 1976 a

summary of assessment work for Burrows Township was made and

published by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Data

Series Map P.1218, Lovell et al (1977). Burrows and Kemp

Townships were covered in the regional compilation published

as the Timmins-Kirkland Lake Sheet, Map 2205 by Pyke et al

(1973).

The following paragraphs summarize work performed on

or near the claims for which this report is submitted for

assessment work. Figure 3 is a Data Location Map showing the

locations of the claim blocks over which assessment: work has

previously been filed. Table l show* the company name, typ*

of work and the year that work was performed. This work is

AMAX POTASH, INC.

In 1971 Amax Potash staked 4 claims west of Little Marne

Lake over ground covered by the northwest portion of the East

Group.

Ground magnetometer and vertical loop electromagnetic

surveys were conducted in 1971 and 1972. In 1972 geologic

mapping and soil geochemistry programs were conducted. Mafic

and felsic to intermediate metavolcanics were encountered cut

by diabase and syenite dikes. Good correlation between copper,

lead and zinc was achieved with the soil geochemistry survey.

The topsoil indicated better correlation than the subsoil,

possibly because higher values were obtained in the topsoil

portion than in the subsoil portion.

Several small gossan zones that outcrop in the area My be

the cause of the above background values.

One diamond drill hole was drilled to a depth of 375 feet

to test the VEM conductor thought to be associated with the

geochem anomaly across the northern portion of the clain ^roop.

This hole intersected a dacite fragmental to tuffaceous unit

with a graphitic zone grading into graphitic argillite then

to argillite. This would indicate tops are oriented to the

north. The rocks are cut by felsic and lamprophyre dikes.

Drill core assays indicated: Cu ranged from 62 to 256 ppw,

Zn ranged from 109 to 1,260 ppm and Ag ranged from 0.7 to 2.6

ppm. All assay values were in the graphitic argillite.

- 17 -

CANEX AERIAL EXPLORATION LIMITED

In 19.71 B.D. strola staked roughly the sane ground as the

McKay property. Canex Aerial Exploration Ltd. optioned the

property and conducted a ground tnagnetoroeter survey over it.

The objective of this survey was to delineate any ultramafic ,,

me t a volcan! c s or intrusives that may have been associated with

the iron formation and examine those rocks for gold. No ultra

mafic rocks were found or at least not recognized in outcrop

and their interpretation of magnetic data lead Canex to feel

that any possible ultramafic Bodies were too narrow to be of

economic interest.

- 18 -

DOMINION GULF COMPANY

In 1951 Dominion Gulf Company optioned 9 claims from

O.E. Winters and attempted by diamond drilling to find the source

of the rusty iron formation float found near the northern

boundary of claim L.517209 and the southern boundary of claim

L.547212 of the West Group. One grab sample they took is

reported to have assayed 2.85 oz. Au/ton. Four holes were

drilled by Heath s Sherwood numbered l through 4 to depths of

645, 506, 205 and 172 feet respectively. Hole locations are

plotted on the accompanying geology map.

Rock types encountered were:

Amphibolitized mafic metavolcanics with or without garnets.

Siliceous gneiss or felsic metavolcanic-welded tuff.

Talc-chlorite-carbonate schist, possibly a carbonitized

ultramafic zone.

Banded iron formation mainly oxide facies but sulfides

were noted as was chlorite.

Syenite, feldspar porphyry, lamprophyre, and diabase dikes.

No assays were reported in the logs filed for assessment

credit.

- 19 -

DOWA MINING COMPANY LIMI1ED

In 1974 D.F. Des Rosiers staked 16 claims south of Mouse

Lake S west of Hook Lake under Dowa Mining Company Ltd. Watts

Griffis and McOuat Ltd. conducted ground magnetometer and

vertical loop electromagnetic surveys over 6 of the claims.

Several east trending conductors were delineated and two holes

were drilled by Morissette Diamond Drilling Ltd. to a depth

of 92 and 207 feet respectively. The exploration target was

massive sulfides. Drilling intersected dacitic tuffaceous

rock, schistose with disseminated pyrite from roughly 20 feet

to 40 feet followed by a unit of banded gneissic rhyolite with

disseminated pyrrhotite and pyrite, minor andesite and some

chloritic and carbonate alteration. The author interprets

this unit to be an exhalative unit about 15 feet thick over

lying an iron formation approximately 15 feet thick. This iron

formation may best be described as magnetitic chert interlayered

with magnetite ironstone with l to IQ\ pyrite, pyrrhotite and

chalcopyrite. Beneath this unit is a dark green amphibolite,

most probably a mafic metavolcanic unit. Hole one terminated

in this unit while hole 1A passes through this unit and termi

nates in a medium grained gabbro.

- 20 -

HOLLINGER MINES LIMITED

In 1975 Hollinger Mines Ltd. compiled previous data on the

area just east of Mouse Lake, now the West Group and drilled

four diamond drill holes on what are now claims L.547209,

L.547211, L.547212 and L.547217. Three of the diamond drill

holes, BU1-2-75, BUl-3-75 and BU1-4-75, were drilled to test

the extent of the several iron formation outcroppings some l 000

feet east of Mouse Lake ana goo to 700 feet north of the strewn

that empties Hook Lake into Mouse Lake. One diamond drill hole

BUl-1-75 was drilled to test the conductor north of the iron

formation outcroppings. This conductor does not outcrop. The

conductor proved to be a silica-rich, graphitic iron formation.

Assay values for gold were nil. Two graphitic tuff zones with

pyrite roughly 10 feet thick were not assayed. One of two

carbonitized anderite zones was assayed with results nil in gold.

Other iron formation intersections in the latter three

drill holes did not carry anomalous gold values.

- 21 -

D. MCKAY - PICKANDS MATHER OPTION

In 1960 Pickands Mather and Cowp&ny optioned the McKay

property south of the West Group to assess the iron formation

there for economic potential.

A magnetometer survey was conducted and profiles made.

A geological survey delineated an iron formation 600 feet wide

and 2,000 feet long. Calculations indicated 109,000 tons/

vertical foot or some 12 to 17 million tons of crude ore.

Three diamond drill holes were drilled, DH-1, 2 and 3 to

depths of 231, 262 and 509 feet. No assays were indicated in

the logs submitted for assessment work, but the company assuaed

a 30* Fe content for their grade calculations and felt the

deposit was too small to be of economic import.

- 22 -

PAYMASTER CONSOLIDATED MINES LIMITED

In 1957 Paymaster Consolidated Mines Ltd. staked 53 claims

in Burrows and Kemp Townships centered around Little Marne Lake

over ground now covered by the East Group of claims. Paymaster

had Aerophysics of Canada Ltd. perform an airborne electromagne

tic survey over the property and 3 conductors were delineated

over the central and southern portions of Little Marne Lake.

Ground follow up work was initiated with a brief dip needle

survey followed by a ground magnetometer survey of the whole

property by Sharpe Geophysical Surveys Ltd. Magnetic anomalies

were checked by EM methods. The best correlation between

magnetic and EM data was noted along the north shore of Little

Marne Lake.

The area was geologically mapped and a series of ultramafic,

mafic and intermediate flows along with some associated intrusive

rocks were found. Mafic spherulitic and pillow lavas were noted

as was intermediate agglomerate or flow breccia.

The chicken track lava described in the report and attribu

ted to alteration is actually spinifex texture of the middle to

upper portion of an ultramafic metavolcanic flow. This was

confirmed by the author upon examination of the Paymaster drill

core found at the drill site on Little Marne Lake. Gray (ankerite)

and green (fuchsite) carbonitezed ultramafic units outcrop and

were intersected in diamond drill holes.

- 23 -

Three diamond drill were drilled numbered B-l through B-3

to depths of 698,995 and 545 feet respectively. Most assay values

were trace only with some 0.01 and 0.02 and a lone 0.11 oz Au/ton

value being recorded. Tops are indicated to be south by spinifex

and altered zone positions* however, this is not definite. The

hole locations are plotted on the geology map accompanying this

report.

- 24 -

PROSPECTORS AIRWAYS COMPANY LIMITED

In 1962 Prospectors Airways Co. Ltd. staked two blocks of

claims centered around Camp Lake and conducted a ground magneto

meter and OEM electromagnetic survey over the property. The JEM

survey delineated three short discontinuous conductors along the

southwest shore of Camp Lake.

These conductors did not appear to be of sufficient interest

to warrant follow-up by diamond drilling and the claims were

allowed to lapse.

Newmont's own ground electromagnetic surveys in this general

vicinity also delineated several similar conductors. These could

be caused by lake bottom edge effect or by small interflow

conductive units. Possibly a horizontal loop raultifrequency

survey over them could provide a better qualitative classification.

SIROLA-KARVINEN

The Sirola-Karvinen claim group, which is now the West Group

described in this report, was the subject of a preliminary asses

sment .by w.O. Karvinen in 1980. This work consisted of geological

mapping of claims L.547209 through L.547212 inclusive, detailed

overburden investigations, trenching and overburden blasting

to locate the source of the rusty float along the north boundary

of claim L.547210. This mechanical work was spread over several

claims. This search was unsuccessful due to lisdted Manpower

and funds so the property was optioned to Newmont for a nore

detailed assessment.

- 26 -

SIROIA-KARVINEN (NEWMONT OPTION)

The Sirola-Karvinen claim groups L.547207 through L.547222

inclusive (West Group) and L.550160, L.550162 through L.550168

inclusive and Newmont's claim L.628518 (fast Group) were taken

under option by Newmont Exploration of Canada Ltd. in late 1981.

With Newmont's joint venture partner, Dupont of Canada

Exploration Ltd. as a financial participant, Newmont undertook

a preliminary examination of these claims with some overlap

onto surrounding claims subsequently staked by Newmont to cover

the aeromagnetic anomalies in Burrows and Kemp Townships. This

work consisted of line cutting, a geological survey, a ground

magnetometer and VLF EM survey and an overburden till sampling

heavy media separation geochemical survey. All this work was

submitted for assessment credit.

In addition to this work, an induced polarization survey,

a resistivity survey and a horizontal loop MAX NtN survey were

instituted. These surveys were continued on other Newmont claims

during the winter months and during the sunn*r of 1982. These

later results are the subject of the present report.

The results of the first pass survey delineated magnetic

and EM anomalies worth further detailed work by more sophisticated

geophysical methods. Several anomalies extended to adjoining

claims and these were recommended for follow-up geophysics.

Diamond drill targets were also delineated and three (3)

holes were drilled on the West Group and two (2) holes were

- 27 -

drilled on the East Group. Olie'purpose of the drilling on the

West Group was to assist in unravelling the complex stratigraphy

in that area as well as to test the several geophysical anomalies.

For the East Group, the geology was thought to be somewhat more

straight forward and the anomalies were less complicated so the

drilling in that area was more to test the anomalies than for

geological information. The previously unknown contact between

mafic and ultramafic metavolcanic flows was located by the diamond

drilling program. The results of this diamond drill program

will be submitted for assessment credit.

GENERAL GEOLOGY

The bedrock in the area is of Early Precambrian (Archean)

age. Unconsolidated deposits of Pleistocene and Recent age

mantle most of the area. Outcrop coverage is less than I\ of

the area, therefore, geophysical, geochemical and diamond drill

hole data was most important in the geological interpretation

seen in Figure 4.

Ultramafic metavolcanic rocks of peridotitic to basaltic

komatiitic composition and pillowed to massive mafic metavolcanics

of magnesiurn-rieh to iron-rich tholeiitic composition are the

oldest rocks in the area. The ultramafic metavolcanics are best

developed on the East Group of claims and are present as a

series of flows ranging in thickness from just over l meter to

about 10 meters. The komatiitic package probably does not

exceed 500 meters in total thickness. The mafic units are

thicker. Individual flows could not be delineated with precision,

however, massive to pillowed units were noted as were pyroclastic

units. Some of the thicker flows were medium grained (1-3 am

crystals) but exhibited flow texture in outcrop. Sills and dikes

of gabbro and lamprophyre were often found associated with these

flows and in some cases could have been feeders from a central

magma chamber. These units are on the order of 500 to over 1000

meters thick and comprise roughly 60 to 70% of the total rock

noted. Carbon!tization of some of these rocks has no doubt

caused previous workers to classify them into a more felsic

category due to the lighter color resulting from such alteration.

Total rock analysis and Jensen and AFM plots provide a sound

basis for proper classification. Calc-alkaline basalts were noted

in several small outcrops and are thought to form a unit between

mafic metavolcanic flows and intermediate pyroclastics.

Intermediate tuffs, lapilli tuffs and volcanic breccias

form a transition phase between the mafic and felsic metavolcanic

units and are tholeiitic to calc-alkaline in composition.

Felsic metavolcanic flows, tuffs, lapilli tuffs and volcanic

breccia were noted and were especially common in the South Group

area. Porphyritic dikes possibly represent feeders from a central

magma chamber. They are calc-alkaline in composition.

Clastic metasedimentary recks are not coanon and were noted

in outcrop only south of Ottereyes Lake. This was an argillaceous

unit. Diamond drill data by Amax (1972) and Newraont (1982)

reported carbonaceous argillite, argillite and arenite to pebble

conglomerate from drill holes south of Little Marne Lake. These

metasediments appear to be related to felsic to intermediate

volcanism notably the exhalative pha**s of auch volcanism.

Chemical metasedimentary rocks are generally exhalative in

origin and are represented by oxide-rich banded magnetitic chert

interbedded with magnetite ironstones and pyrite-pyrrhotite rich

phases of these oxide facies units and at least two chert-

sulfide units, one found in outcrop and one noted by diamond

drilling Dowa (1974). These sulfide units were easily traced

by electromagnetic devices.

A large granodiorite batholith borders the western portion

- 31 -

of the area and makes itself known by extensive albitization,

epidotization and amphibolitization of the metavolcanic rocks in

that area. A similar intrusive plug was noted southwest of

Karvinen Lake intruding the mafic and felsic metavolcanic

series. Some smaller syenitic outcrops were also noted and could

be part of a larger syenite plug.

Diabase dikes traverse the area and are diabase, quartz

diabase and porphyritic (Matachewan) diabase types. All have

been classified as Early Precambrian in age, however, some aay

be younger.

Most of the rocks of the area are part of a steeply dipping

synclinal structure, the axis of which trends northeast across

the western part of the area then swings southeast across the

north and east parts of the area.

Regional metamorphism of the rocks is greenschist to lower

amphibolite facies with some rocks near the Togo Batholith

subjected to contact metamorphism of lower to middle amphibolite

facies.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

The basal till was the targeted material for sampling for

this project. If basal tilj was not located in the test pit

then no sample was taken.

For the most part, basal till was just above the bedrock.

This was determined from the fact that in many cases bedrock

was reached in the test pit.

Two (2) samples were taken from each till sheet. One

weighing approximately 2 to 4 kg, screened to -l cm, sealed

in a plastic bag, sent to Bell-White Analytical Laboratories

Ltd. at Haileybury, Ontario, and assayed geochemically for gold

in ppb, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium and arsenic in ppm.

These samples were used to establish a background against

which to measure then heavy media concentrate. Sixty two (62)

of these samples were taken and assayed, the results of

which are tabulated in Appendix A.

A second 58 samples weighing 30 to 60 kg was screened to

-l cm, placed in a plastic bag lined steel bucket, capped and

sent to Overburden Drilling Management Limited, 3 Cleopatra

Drive, Nepean, Ontario for heavy media separation. Magnetic

and nonmagnetic heavy media fractions were sent to Bell-

White Analytical Laboratories Ltd. for assay, the nonmagnetic

fraction for gold in ppb and copper, zinc and arsenic in ppm

and the magnetic fraction for gold in ppb.

A timberskidder mounted backhoe provided by

- 34 -

M. Michaud and Sons Ltd. of Monteith, Ontario was used to dig

test pits l to 5 meters deep which was the limit of the

backhoe reach. If till was not found within this depth the

pit was covered and another location was tested. Personnel

employed by W.O. Karvinen and Associates Ltd. of Wahnapitae,

Ontario conducted the sampling program. These included

consulting Pleistocene geologist Rauno Aaltonen of London,

Ontario who located sample sites, determined if till existed

or not and defined the zone to be sampled. Bruce Raine and

Dan Vaillancourt of Timmins cleared sample sites, gathered

and field prepared the samples. The program was planned by

Dr. W.O. Karvinen of W.O. Karvinen and Associates of

'.vihnopi t:ae, Ontario assited by Dr. Heikki Hirvas of the

Geological Survey of Finland, a recognized expert and pioneer

of basal till sampling and glacial boulder tracing.

The following section by Dr. W.O. Karvinen further details

the basal till sampling program and surficial geology of

Burrows Township.

Report on Basal Till Sampling

j d Surficial Geology in Burro\vs Township

W. 0. Karvinen, Ph.D.

December, 1981

- 36 -

During the period Oct. 2 to Oct. 20, 1981, W.O. KARVINEN fi:

Associates Ltd. carried out basal till sampling and surficial

geology studies in Burrows Township for Newinont Exploration of

Canada Ltd. The purpose of the program was i

a) to document the distribution of glacial sediments in the area;

b) to determine the type and extent of basal til11

c) to test for the presence of more than one till sheet;

d) to obtain large samples of till for heavy mineral analysis and smaller samples for routine geochemical analysis;

e) to examine boulders and cobbles in basal till, particularlyin areas of known mineralization;

f) to investigate in detail the type of material in whichL-xi:it~"ng ;: ir,eral iz.ed boulders occur and to search for sim-n^r loulc^rs in the up-ice direction.

The work was carried out using a backhoe mounted on a

Timberjack and one Pleistocene Geologist and two assistants.

Interpretation and guidance in the glacial studies were mainly

provided by Dr. Heikki Kirvas of the Geological Survey of

:-~ -n"l":nd, who '.vas visiting Canada at the time.

A total of 60 samples of till from 101 pits were obtained

ft.r ' -.n~!ysi s. Several pits turned up interesting boulders

j-la Led to mineralization and the bedrock information was great

ly expanded since many pits reached bedrock from which a sample

v;as also taken. Basal till is c-xposed on or near surface in

four separate areas -while the rest of-the claim group is covered

by thick sequences of glaciofluvial sediments. Beneath these,

fill is probably preserved in places (ie. dov.n-ice sides of

bedrock highs) but under the two eskers it is probably absent.

- 37 -

Only one till sheet is present in the area. The mineralised

boulders as well as the large green carbonate boulder are partly

"buried in basal till and thus locally derived.

Introduction

Lar^e boulders (^3 m) with vein quartz carrying gold

mineral i nation were found in Burrows Township during logging

operations in the late 19^-0's. Despite exploration efforts

in 1951 by Dominion Gulf and in the early 1970's by Hollinger

Mines Ltd., the source was not found. The Tovmship has not

been mapped in detail and thus has not attracted much exploration.

In 1979* Brien Sirola, Don Sirola and W. 0. Karvinen

s ecu i re-d l 6 clains over the boulder area on the recommendation

of the latter r;-.i tner v.-'hich '.vas based on the discovery of a

l^r^e r^rcon carbonate boulder in the mineralized boulder train.

^i^ht additional claims v.-ere also staked in early 1980, approxi

mately four miles to the south east near Little Karne Lake,

v;here a known showing in green carbonate was thought to occur

on the same sequence of felsic volcanics, iron formation and

ultramafic rocks as the boulder area.

Boulder tracing, outcrop stripping, trenching and geolo

gical :r-H.;-.ping v.v.-re carried out mainly by W. O. Karvinen with

the assistance of Brien Sirola during the summers of 1980 and

1981. Results of the work indicated a possible source for the

mineralized float to be located under an esker, within a se

quence of tuffs snd iron formation near the nose of a south

east-plunging synform. It also became evident that the property

had good potential for gold-bearing iron formation, for massive

- 38 -

sulfide bodies in garnetiferous alteration zones which could

have Thompson - Bousquet type gold mineralization as well as

for green-carbonate related gold mineralization (Larder Lake

type). (Also the potential for base metals is good in the area.)

At this stage more financial input was required and thus

in September of 1981 an option deal was reached with Kewinont

Exploration of Canada Ltd. In the fall of 1981, Kewrnont

carried out I.P., VLF and magnetic surveys on the optioned

claims and geologically mapped the entire property, including

the 100 or so added claims. W.O. KARVINEN & A ssociates Ltd.

with logistical support from Newmont conducted the basal till

sampling and surficial geology studies during the same period.

i.'ei.hodo.los^

Early in the program planning, it v.'as agreed that basal

till prospecting should play an important role in exploring

the property. It was decided to conduct a modest preliminary

program using a backhoe with the assistance of Pleistocene

geologists. The general purpose of the program was to evalu

ate the extent of basal till in the area and its potential as

a prospecting medium and to collect samples of till and examine

boulders in those areas v;here till could be reached with a

backhoe (*. 5 ro depth).

A technique used for over 15 years in Finland using a

backhoe v.'as adopted. Under the direction of Meikki Hirvas of

the Geological Survey of Finland the following field operation

v.as formulated.

Initially three days were spent studying aerial photo

graphs ^nd t raversing the property to outline areas where till

- 39 -

s on or near surface and thus accessible with a backhoe.

Pit sites, generally at 100 m spacings, were then located along

east-west lines across the prevailing ice direction (l65O).

Each pit was dug to "bedrock or to the maximum depth capability

of the backhoe (~4 m). The walls of the pit were then made

safe and one composite and screened (minus l cm) sample for

hc-avy mineral analysis weighing approximately JO kg and another

smaller composite sample (about 5-10 kg) of till were collected.

Care was taken to avoid contamination due to sand, soil, etc.

from higher up in the pit. The glacial stratigraphy and thick

nesses of the different sediments were noted. As well, any

boulders or cobbles of green carbonate, sulfides, iron formation

'-r:d vein quartz v/L-re recorded and bedrock samples were collected

v.'u-re possible. Because of several good striation measurements

r:.ade on bedrock surfaces and the lack of time, it was decided

not to do any till fabric analysis. In detailed follow-up

programs in boulder or geochemically anomalous fans, this be

comes an important part of the program. It is, however, quite

t-' .e consuming.

? r o.-- ram

The preliminary investigation revealed four areas within

the claim group where pitting by backhoe appeared possible.

Those were i a rather large area (2 km x 2.5 km) encompassing

the boulder locality; a 2 km x | km area northwest of Little

;.'arne Lake j a 3 k m long strip along the eastwest road south of

Lit.tie "arne Lake and a smaller area (1.5 km x l km) on the

v.. st part of the property about 4 km southwest of the boulder

locality (see nap).

- 40 -

Boulder Fan Area (nit numbers BAN. BAS. BAM. BAF)

Out of a total of 48 pits dug in the area of the mineral

ized "boulders, till samples were collected from 26 and 20

bottomed in bedrock. The till in this portion of the property

averages about 2 m thick and consists of a sandy, partly v:ashed

or modified upper portion and an underlying, compact basal till.

Anfnilar clasts from pebble to boulder size and consisting pre

dominantly of local bedrock (mafic and felsic volcanics, iron

formation and granitic material) constitute much of the till,

A \vashed boulder pavement is common on top of the till. This

is usually covered by a layer of glaciolacustrine sand partly

riodified by -wind action, which varies in thickness from a few

CiVi 11 r-, o l. r-: 5 s up to 2 metres.

Of the 2.6 p its which had till 20 were in the assusned boul-

ner fan containing the original mineralized boulders. In many

of these, boulders and cobbles of vein quartz, iron formation

and ultramafic rocks v/ere found but no green carbonate boulders

v.'ere located except in the pit beside the large (3 ra) green

carbonate boulder (see map). In that pit (BAK-4), which was

dug to 5 TCI 1-'^ e large boulder was found to be at least three-

quarters buried in br-sal till. Structures beneath and around

the boulder do not indicate the boulder to have been rafted.

Keikki Hirvas, who has made a career of boulder tracing over

the last 15 years, says it is definitely part of the till and

based on its s ize and angularity it has not moved more than

a few hundred metres. T3v3 sv.-anp immediately up-ice is a likely

source area.

In the vicinity of the green carbonate boulder and in some

- 41 -

of the fan where the till is thick ( 2.5 ra) there is a

layer of sand or silt ( 0.5 m thick) which could "be interpreted

as separating two tills, but Keikki Hirvas says this is a

coir.rijon feature in single till sheets; recent research now

strongly suggests that a large portion of "basal till is formed

when the glacier is receding and thus sorted material often

forms in tills. Also, the fact that the sand layer is quite

local suggests this to be part of one and the same sheet. Till

fabric analysis and stone counts would confirm or deny this.

Despite the history, in situations like this, separate samples

were collected from each till. In the case of washed tills

ovc-rlying compact basal till, only the latter was sampled.

AlIhough backhoe pits were not dug beside the mound of

r.ineral 5 ;:.t-d quartz vein boulders at the original locality, a

bulldozer cut during earlier stripping revealed dense, compact

stoney till with abundant local clasts to a depth of 1.5 m and

nearby pits during the current program also encountered good

baral till from surface to a depth of 3-5 "to 4 ra.

Four pits {BAF-1,2,3 and 4) were dug at the bottom of the

"a s t slope of the I.'ouse Lake esker where earlier tracing of

quartz vein boulders by the writer appeared to indicate the

direction of the source. Of the 4 pits dug, two encountered

till (BAF-1 and 3AF-3 -previously dug by bulldozer) with vein

quartz and iron formation boulders whereas the other two "bot

tomed in sand. Bedrock was not encountered but earlier testing

by Cobra percussion drilling indicated overburden depth in

excess of 5 m *

- 42 -

^Northwest, Little 1,'arne Lake (pit numbers EF1 to EF22)

In the vicinity of a poorly exposed outcrop of peridotite

cut "by syenitic rocks and a large outcrop of felsic tuff loca

ted approximately 3 km west of the north end of Little Marne

Lake, 2 2 p its \vere dug to test for and to sample till. Of the

22 pits dug, 7 encountered till \vhile the remainder bottomed

in sands. Three reached "bedrock. Till v:as found only near the

outcrop areas.

In this vicinity the till is quite stoney with local vol

canic clasts. In roost places it is gray, "but in a few pits,

such as EF-22, it 5s green, possibly reflecting green carbonate

or ultramafic rocks up-ice. The till averages about l. 5 m

th :'ck and has no intercalated sand layers. It is overlain by

fluvial and lacustrine sands and sand dunes.

This excavation area is thought to be just south of the

iron formation-carbonate-ultramafic rock sequence which strikes

northwest from the gold showing on Little L'arne Lake. The

presence of iron formation cobbles and green till support this

i-'j-:;a. The result of till analyses from this area should be

i r. l -: rest.' r.^.

South of Little I '^rne l ake (pit numbers 5FS-1 to EFS-11)

Eleven pits v.-ere dug along a 3 -"-m strip on the east-west

read south of Little ;.!arne Lake, v.here till was thought to be

close to surface. Of these 7 encountered till while the rest

bottomed in sand. "Four reached bedrock.

- 43 -

The till is generally gray, but as at the previous ex

cavation area, in some pits (e.g. EFS-? and SF3-8) it is pale

to medium green. The till is quite stoney v/ith numerous vol

canic clasts and some vein quartz. It averages about l m in

thickness and is covered by varying thicknesses of glacio

lacustrine and aeolian sands.

V; e s t Fa r t of Property (pit numbers h'F-1 to V.'F^O^

A small area near the boundary of the property and north

from the east-v,-est road for about l km was chosed for excavation

because of till on surface and the presence of some outcrops

of potential rock types (iron formation and ultramafic rocks).

In each direction from this area deep sands ^5 ro) overlie till

M n d/ o r "b -- i I r o o k .

Of the 20 pits excavated, 18 encountered till and 1 6

reached bedrock. The till v.-hich averages about 1.2m thick

is gray in color and commonly silty. Apart from boulders of

iron formation, no important clasts v/ere noted.

ur c a ^ejD

The predominant glacial sediments on surface in the area

are glaciofluvial and glaciolacustrine sands, gravels and silts

v.hich cover .over 80^ of the- property. These have been modified

by subsequent \vind action and in places form dunes up to 20 ra

high. The remainder of the area has either basal till or bed

rock with a thin veneer of till at surface. Tv/o major eskers,

trending roughly north-south traverse the area. One divides

the property in t\vo and is the location of the main road from

the Grassy River Read to I.Tattagami Lake. This esker has a

- 44 -

broad (1-2 km) apron of sands and silts associated with it and

broadens out into a wide lacustrine delta as it approaches the

south boundary of Burrows Township. The other esker forms the

east margin of Mouse (or Jumping T-]oose ) Lake and trends approxi

mately N20 E. It too appears to form a broad, extensive delta

to the south of I.'ouse Lake.

The present survey demonstrated the widespread distribution

of good "basal till in the area, but it also indicated that the

till is discontinuous and extensively eroded in places. The

action of turbulent rivers and the presence of glacial lakes

destroyed and covered large areas of pre-existing till. Even

in areas where till is preserved, washed sandy till and boulder

,,av,-: :'..,-nts on till are cordon. Till is best preserved in the

G r---a. on south-facing slopes of topographic high areas and

eroded in gullies, wave-exposed slopes and probably beneath

arid for some distance av.-ay from the thick {^0 ni) eskers.

Till is probably preserved in topographically sheltered areas

beneath the extensive lacustrine delta plains but may be at

yr-:Q d epth ^20 m). It is estimated that in areas away from

the c fV.v-rs, perhaps 50 to S oft of the till is preserved beneath

the sands, gravels and silts.

Glacial straie measurements indicate a general ice direc

tion of 165 degrees.

C onclusions

The main objectives of the program were achieved using

the methodology of combining basal till samples with a backhoe

?-nd expertise in Pleistocene geology. The care in sampling

- 45 -

and the assurance that the right medium was sampled should

provide a representative picture of the geochemistry of the

till and indicate areas in nearby bedrock which could host

important metal deposits. The observations on surficial geo

logy now allow planning for future overburden sampling. Also,

the conclusion that only one till sheet is ptresent and that

this contains the mineralized quartz vein and green carbonate

toulders lends support to earlier observations that their

source area is not far and is probably located on the property,

SAMPLE TREATMENT

After screening to -lcm at the sample site, a 30 to 60 kg

sample was sent to Overburden Drilling Management of Nepean,

Ontario for heavy media separation. Figure 5 is a flow sheet

for the heavy media separation process.

The samples were dry split into 20 to 40 kg samples with

a -250 gram sample saved. A wet 1700 i*, seive separation was

made of one split with the +1700 yu. material stored and the

-1700^ materail passed over a modified Wilfley Table. While

the -1700 /x sample was being tabled, it was constantly

monitored for visable gold grains and those grains were counted

and described by shape for classification as well rounded for

transported, moderately rounded for abraided and sharp for

delicate. This description indicates distance of transport

from source or reworking. The light fraction from the table

was stored and the heavy fraction was sent for heavy liquid

separation. The liquid used was methylene iodide of specific

gravity 3.3. The heavy or ^.3 specific gravity material wai

dried and ir,agnetically separated so that magnetic and non

magnetic fractions resulted. The nonmagnetic fraction was

separated into 3/4 and 1/4 fractions with the 3/4 fraction

sent for assay for gold in ppb or oz/ton if warranted, copper,

zinc and arsenic in ppm. These results are tabulated in

Appendix B. The magnetic fraction was sent for assay for gold

in ppb only and the results are tabulated in Appendix C.

ANALYTICAL TREATMENT

All samples were sent to Bell-White Analytical Laboratories

Limited of Haileybury, Ontario for analysis. The following

describes their method of sample preparation and analysis for

each element tested.

Till samples were pulverized in a mechanical pulverizer

to a minimum of -100 mesh. Heavy Media fractions, because of

their relatively small sample size were hand crushed by mortar

and pestle to a minimum of -80 mesh.

For gold the analysis procedure was:

15 grams -100 mesh sample in an assay crucible add flux and

fuse.

Add l to 4 mg silver, slag and cupel.

Silver is parted with nitric acid in a test tube.

0.5 ml nitric acid and 1.5 ml hydrochloric acid are added to

dissolve the gold bead.

The solution is aspirated by atomic absorption directly with

results calculated to ppb.

For copper, zinc, nickel and chromium the analysis proce

dure was:

One half gram -100 meash sample is placed in 1.5 ml nitric acid

and digested for 1/2 hour.

Eight ml distilled water is added and the solution is agitated

and allowed to settle.

The solution is then aspirated directly by atonic absorption

- 55 -

and the results calculated to ppm.

For arsenic the procedure is somewhat nore complicated.

To a 200 mg sample l ml nitric acid and 1.3 ml perchloric acid

is added and heated in a hot sand bath.

The solution is cooled and l ml hydrochloric acid and 9 ml

distilled water is added and the solution mixed, then 0.5 Ml

of 3C^ potassium iodide and 0.5 ml 40% stannous chloride is

added and allowed to react for 10 minutes.

One eighth teaspoon of zinc metal is added and the solution is

bubbled through an indicator solution of 1.25 grams silver

diethyldithiocarbamate 0.5 gm brucene and 500 ml chloroform.

Colormetric standards l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 mis with l pn

of arsenic are made.

Add 1.3 ml hydrochloric acid and allow to set up to 10 minutes.

Several runs are made and the values are calculated to ppm.

All assays are enumerated in Appendices A, B, and C at

the end of this report. There were 62 till samples assayed

for Au, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr and As (Appendix A), 58 heavy media

nonmagnetic concentrates assayed for Au, Cu, Zn and As

(Appendix B) and 58 magnetic heavy media concentrates assayed

for Au (Appendix C).

- 56 -

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

Every area that was sampled for till and where till was

found had anomalous values of gold, that is gold was present

as either visable gold, 100 ppb, 0.01 oz/ton or combinations

thereof. The glacial till staple location maps show the

locations of test pits and the symbols show whether till was

found and general assay values. Precise assay values are found

in the Appendices.

The anomalous gold values occur predominantly in the heavy

media nonmagnetic fraction. Gold is too dispersed to show up

in anomalous values in the unprocessed till fraction and was

noted only once in the magnetic heavy media fraction (756 ppb) .

This indicates that the favorable exploration target is likely

non-magnetic carbonitized zones with disseminated sulfides.or

the massive sulfide units. Visable gold was noted in nine (9)

samples. At least one sample with visable gold was found in

each area except the EFS area. Gold grains were transported

or abraded indicating the distance of travel was on the Older

of 400 to 500 m. Copper, zinc and arsenic were not anomalous

in either the unprocessed till or heavy media fraction.

The weights of the magnetic fraction weighed approximate

ly one half to two thirds the weight of the nonmagnetic

fraction for samples from all areas except the EFS area where

the magnetic fraction weighed roughly one half the weight of

the nonmagnetic fraction.

- 57 -

The only occurrence of ah anomalous gold value (756 ppb)

found in a magnetic fraction was sample 9056 from the WF area.

This is likely a fluke as there have been no anomalous assay

values from oxide affinity iron-rich rocks either from surface

trenching or diamond drill core analysis. It is possible that

the gold could have been tied up with pyrrhotite which i*

magnetic.

Dear Mr. Matthews:

Please find two (2) sets of copies of forms and receipts pertaining to a basal till geochemical survey our company performed on claims in Burrows Township. We are filing under expenditure days credit.

The usable expenses on the receipts are underlined in red. Also enclosed is a copy of the report of work form for a previous survey stamped received 24 March 1982 at Kirkland Lake. This report covered only a portion of our claims. Out of a total usable expenditure calculated from the attached receipts of $16,626.52 only $8122.07 was used for that report. The other samples were taken from claims submitted in this report so the balance of $8504.45 is used to calculate the expenditure days credit for this report. This calculates to 567 days credit and at 20 days/claim, 28 claims.

I trust you will find all is in order.

Sincerely yours,

R.P. B6we"n7 P. Eng. Project Geologist
