Latitude: 46° 05' 32"; Longitude: 75° 39' 54" (Spinel Pit) 5106090 mN; 369330 mE (Spinel Pit)

Access:

Mining claims CDC 1037695 & 1037697 are accessed (refer to Map #1) by driving 3.4 km northwest along Whitefish Lake Road from the west side of the bridge over the Lièvre River at Notre-Dame-du-Laus. Then, turn left (southwest) onto a single lane cottage road and bear right for 1.1 km. At this point turn right (north) onto a bush road and drive .2 km to the occurrence.

Topography:

The area in the vicinity of the occurrence is characterized by low rolling hills rising up to 30m above nearly Whitefish Lake. Immediately southeast of the occurrence a hill rises 10m above the surrounding terrain. The area is covered by mixed hardwood forest. Glacial debris covers most of this area with outcrops being relatively scarce.

Previous Work

The occurrence, known as the Parker Mine, was first mined for phlogopite mica in the summer of 1910 by Mr. W. Parker of Buckingham, Quebec. Mr. Parker and his partner, Mr. W. Cameron also of Buckingham, worked the occurrence intermittently during the summer months of 1910 to 1913. Three men and a foreman were employed and a 50 ft. pit and numerous shallow pits and trenches were made by hand (Schmidt, 1912 & Spence, 1929). In 1942 the Micabia Prospecting Syndicate took possession of the property; with little apparent work having been done (Van Velthuizen, 1993). In the spring of 1984 the staff o the Canadian Museum of Nature, Mineral Sciences Division, Ottawa reexamined the mine for mineral specimen potential and located a carbonate vein containing well-formed crystals of spinel and forsterite. In the spring of 1987 Mr. M. Perrault of Wilson Corners, Quebec obtained the mineral rights to the Parker Mine and using a backhoe along with light blasting sampled the spinel / forsterite / carbonate vein. Mr. Perrault did not renew his claim and the Parker Mine has remained inactive until now.

Regional Geology

Mining claims CDC 1037695 & 1037697 are located in the Mont Laurier Basin (Segment IVd) subdivision of the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Subprovince of the Precambrian Shield. Wynne-Edwards (1972) describes the Mont Laurier Basin as containing "prominent south-southeasterly plunging, roughly upright folds that have been recumbently refolded on northeast-striking, southeast-dipping axial planes. Marble, quartzite and aluminous pelites successively predominate from west to east across the basin. Synclinal keels of marble separated by basement highs form the major south flowing river valleys such as the nearby Lièvre River. Plutons of gabbro, alkali syenite, granite and metamorphosed magmatic complexes in granulate faces characterized by green feldspars are also common. Apart from these latter "green rock complexes" the metamorphic grade in the Mont Laurier Basin is middle to upper amphibolite facies".

Geology of the Parker Mine:

The Parker Mine is located within a small "green rock complex" bounded on the east and west by marble units (Refer to map #2). The main rock unit in the immediate vicinity of the Parker Mine is a metagabbro containing local lenses of anorthosite and pyroxenite. The metagabbro is cut by a number of carbonate veins, up to 5 meters wide filling perpendicular fracture sets trending approximately northeast and northwest. The carbonate veins pinch and swell for distances up to 30 meters. At the metagabbro / carbonate vein contacts varying amounts of anorthite, pyroxene, phlogopite, forsterite and spinel occur. A carbonate vein containing well formed crystals of spinel (up to 3 cm) and forsterite (up to 10 cm) trends N 40°W parallel to the principle producing vertical mica vein. A larger anorthosite xenolith is located between the main mica leed

and the spinel / forsterite / carbonate vein on its eastern side. The spinel and forsterite crystals occur in coarsely crystalline carbonate stringers in periodotite probably formed by dedolomitization:

2Ca Mg (CO3)2 + Si02 -> Mg2 Si 04 + 2 CaCO3 + 2 CO2 dolomite quartz forsterite calcite

during contact metamorphism. To the west of the spinel / forsterite rich zone lies relatively homogeneous, medium grained, pink dolomitic calcite essentially barren of accessory minerals. The western contact of the vein has not yet been exposed but presumably contains a similar assemblage of minerals.

Economics:

The exceptionally well-formed spinet and forsterite crystals of the Parker Mine have potential economic value to museums, educational and research Institutes and mineral collectors.

Purpose of Work:

The purpose of the work completed on mining claims CDC 1037695 & 1037697 to date was to:

1) expose the main spine) / forsterite / carbonate vein by overburden stripping in order to target areas of economic specimen potential, and to

2) examine the targeted areas by trenching and collect mineral specimens for market evaluation.

Summary of Work Completed to Date:

The work to date on mining claims CDC 1037695 and 1037697 was completed between June 12, 2003 and June 21, 2003 and on July 7, 2003. On June 12th small trees and brush were removed from the site in preparation for overburden stripping. On June 13th overburden stripping of the main spinel / forsterite / carbonate vein was completed using a backhoe. Eight days of trenching followed resulting in the excavation of a 6.5 m long x 3.5 m wide x 1.5 m deep pit. (Refer to Photos 1 & 2). Approximately 2 tons of sample was removed for market evaluation. On July 7, 2003 the site was revisited and GPS and compass / hip-chain measurements were taken. Table #1 summaries the work completed to date.

Conclusions:

In order to determine whether a small-scale mining operation for mineral specimens would be profitable further work must be completed on the property including:

1) locating other spinel / forsterite / carbonate veins;

2) more trenching and sampling of areas of economic potential;

3) estimating the value of recoverable mineral specimens per ton of material; and

4) estimating the total economic reserves of the deposit.
