OVERVIEW
The Santa Maria Property of Cabo Mining Corp. is located within the Cobalt Silver mining camp in northeastern Ontario (Figure 1). The property, located in Gilles Limit North Township (Figure 2), is part of a large land holding scattered through five Townships in the Cobalt area. The property contains numerous pits, trenches and shallow shafts dating back to the early 1900's in search of cobalt and silver. An area that was exposed by earlier workers was manually cleaned and remapped on November 9th to examine the nature of the mineralization in this area.
This report presents the results from mapping of this area which is in the immediate vicinity of a 1400 - 2005 Ib silver nugget discovered in the 1920's and is currently on display at the MNDM office building lobby in Sudbury, Ontario.

INTRODUCTION AND LOGISTICS
This work report on geological mapping within Claim 1098668, part of the Gillies Limit Property (Figures 1,2), has been prepared on behalf of Cabo Mining Corp. of Vancouver, British Columbia. The content of this report is based on personal mapping by the author with the assistance of S. Wareing of North Cobalt, Ontario.
PROPERTY LOCATION AND ACCESS
The work was completed on claim 1098668 in the southeastern part of Gillies Limit Township, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario. The claim is shown on Figure 2, a portion of claim Index Map G - 3429.
The claims are accessed by an old road that departs from the town of Cobalt and passes around the North side of Genove Lake, towards Silver Lake and ultimately to Santa Maria (approximately 9 km).
TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION
Maximum relief in the area near the stripping is approximately 20 meters. Topography is generally rolling with local steep ledges and cliffs. Most of the forest cover in this area is popular and local mixed forest. Drainage is towards the west into the Montreal River.
EXPLORATION HISTORY
Previous work in the Santa Maria area includes: trenching, pitting and prospecting in the early 1900's leading to the discovery of a large silver nugget in the 1920's. Very little information is available from this period.
During the period from 1946 to 1960, Santa Maria Mines Ltd. carried out trenching and sampling and drilled 16 holes in the general area, although assay data is lacking.
In 1997 Wabana Explorations Ltd. carried out prospecting and limited stripping in the immediate area of the reported silver nugget. They collected 26 rock samples. Since that time, Cabo Mining Corp. has flown a regional scale geophysical survey covering this claim.
REGIONAL AND PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The area is located in the southern part of the Cobalt mining camp and north of the Silver City mining camp and thus has not been well studied. It was mapped by the Ontario Geological Survey in 1990 (Born and Hitch, Map 2551). The stripped area is within an inlier of Archean volcanic rocks. This inlier is bounded on the northeast side by the Lorrain Granite Batholith and on the southwest and south by a Nippissing Diabase sill. On a regional scale these Archean inliers occur within extensive areas of Huronian sedimentary rocks. Several types of Lamprophyre crosscut the Archean rocks in the Cobalt area.

WORK PROGRAM AND RESULTS
The Santa Maria trenches were located earlier by S. Wareing. The work program involved minor clearing and manual stripping, chaining in a grid and sampling (5 samples). The results from the mapping as well as trench outlines are shown on Figure S AN-1 (scale l :200).
The following Table presents rocks found in the stripped areas.
Table of Lithologies
PRECAMBRIAN
Unit 1) Intermediate to Mafic Metavolcanic Rocks: Pale grey to dark green; fine to medium to coarse grained; massive to pillowed; placed in two subtypes:
la) Massive Flows: generally dark grey green, medium to coarsegrained; may in some instances be gabbroic intrusive rocks; rarepyrite as coarse patches; variably deformed, chloritic,
l b) Pillowed Flows: typically light grey green to dark green; fine torarely medium grained; pillows from 20 cm to several metres insize; margins locally contain chlorite, calcite, pyrite.
le) Chlorite Schist: grey to grey green; highly silicified, cherty appearance; sulphidized. lg) Gabbro (intrusive); dark grey green, medium to fine grained, weakly deformed, l h) Breccia: angular fragments to 5 mm in a fine grained chloritic, carbonated matrix;
may be fault related to underlying diabase sill.
Quartz-Carbonate Vein: Narrow (5 cm - 30 cm) breccia and layered vein with bronze coloured medium to coarse pyrite grains and hairline sized sulphide streaks.
The area stripped is underlain by Archean Mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks. These have been locally sheared, silicified and brecciated. Sulphides, include pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite, occur in amounts up to WYo locally within the sheared and silicified zones. Three old pits located within the north part of the stripped area focussed on these sulphide zones.
Approximately midway down the stripped area, two narrow quartz-carbonate veins appear to have been missed by earlier workers. These veins are now weathered and easily recognized. The veins are typical Cobalt type veins, displaying both layer and breccia textures. They contain disseminated, bronze coloured pyrite grains and a network of hairline veinlets with sulphides.
Five samples were collected, two from the larger carbonate veins and three from the sulphide bearing sheared zones. The locations are plotted on Map S AN-1, and the results in Appendix I.
CONCLUSIONS
The sulphide zones at Santa Maria represent a secondary, possible base metal target. The quartz carbonate veins, although narrow where exposed, are typical Cobalt type silver targets.
Numerous old, overgrown trenches occur along strike towards the west from the area mapped. An excavator should be used to follow the quartz-carbonate and sulphide zones in this direction.
