INTRODUCTION

Geophysical surveys were completed in July of 1982 on

DIGHEM anomalies 140D-142F and 141C-142E in July of 1982 on four

claims in the Lower Aguasabon Lake Area. The claims are numbered

as follows:i

TB 628576

TB 628577

TB 628580

TB 628581

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The claims are situated approximately 15kms north of

Terrace Bay and are accessible by helicopter.

GEOLOGY

Ontario government geology maps indicate that the claims

are underlain by mafic and intermediate volcanics. Field

reconnaissance confirmed these rocks.

The area is rough with hills from 30 to 150m above the

lake on the east end of the grid.

-3-

METHOD OF SURVEY

Three lines were cut and surveyed with a Crone shootback

instrument as a method of locating the conductors. After the

axis were located lines were cut east and west as required and

surveyed with vertical loop. All lines were read with a

magnetometer. Shootback readings were taken at 25m intervals and

vertical loop and magnetomer readings were taken at 12.5m

intervals.

RESULTS

Anomaly 140D-142F was traced for 120m, is weak and is

coincident with a very strong magnetic trend.

Anomaly 141C-142E is 400m long, relatively strong and is

coincident with erratic magnetics caused by a dipole effect.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Both conductors should be prospected and trenched.

The MF-2 is a completely now concept in vertical force fluxgate1 magnetometers, 'l hose instruments, which are designed for fnst and accurate mineral ground surveys, are orientation independent, self levelling and require no tripod. The MF-2 combines the electronics and sensor in one compact 3-/-1 II). package. An external dry cell battery pack is provided as standard power source for the instrument. As an option, recharge able batteries may be provided and housed direct ly in the instrument. b) With the latest l. C. and F.l J. circuitry find high precision components, a temperature stability bet tor than 1 gamma per C is standard (with .25 gamma on special order) over a range of 40 to -MO"C.The instrument has a built-in hemisphere polarity switch providing two overlapping ranges, l Or the Northern hemisphere the full lange is -j 80,000 to -20,000 gammas, and reversible for the Southern hemisphere. c) A calibrated feedback system ran he provided which makes it possible to determine the total vortical component strength.Measuring resolution, on the 100 gamma scale (optional) is O.Ii gamma, and on the 1000 gamma scale is 5 gammas.The Scinlrex Mf : series of magnetometer s have been in use for many years in vaned applications, e.g. ground reconnaissance, base station recording and monitoring, study oi magnetic properties of locks, obsetvatory monitoring, and recoiding of both vortical and hoii/onta components.
