FOREWORD

Meridian Mining fr Exploration Coopany Ltd. holds

four properties totalling 96 unpatented Mining claims or

approximately 3840 acres, in three areas of the Thunder Bay

Mining Division, Northwestern Ontario*

Two groups of claims* identified as the North and

South groups of the Lao des Iles property contain numerous

ground electromagnetic anomalies, as well as copper and

nickel mineralisation, south of Lac des Iles, about 50 miles

northwest of the City of Thunder Bay.

The Eva Lake silver property lies in the Beardmore-

Geraldton gold belt, five miles northwest of Beardmore,

Ontario and 100 miles northeast of Thunder Bay.

the Dog River property consists of 20 claims on

which a long, strong, airborne electromagnetio anomaly has

been detected in volcanic formations containing scattered

sulphide mineralisation about 45 miles northwest oi' thunder

Bay.

Programs totalling approximately 119*000 have boon

recommended for initial investigation of the Meridian

li

properties as h** b wen outlined in the following reports of

the innividuril proper-tie*.

DISCUSSION OP RESULT

Two f*0ft*ible expl&natioa* for the NMgnetio correla

tion are preaentet! AA follow*i

1. the electromagnetic oooduotor could be forwed by con

ductive lake botto* Material aa is often the case with

V.i.F. Method*. In thin caaef the Magnetic reaponee

would le BKpcotod to originate from an abnormal concen

tration of magmatite either within the baftie rook*

coMMion to the area or at the contact between the haaio

intrusive and aurrounding granitea*

2. the leotroMtfWt'iv conductor could b* foraed by

moderate to massive sulfide* in which oass th* magnetic

correlation might be due to pyrrhotite mineralisation.

It should bo pointed out that the ne are two of many possible

explanations but considering nil information available tho***

tho ftO*t likely*

COKCLUSXOKS AkD RECOMMENDATIONS

AH a rceull of thl* littit^ waftnotio work over

known V.L.F. conductor*, it i* concluded that tho Baft*fttlc~

olfttii rownfrnettic anottalr designatt^l under aurvcy aroa "C" fora*

the best feephyaical target oti the Meridian property

to date*

It l*, therefore, recoMmndett that a minima* of 600

f net of ctiainontl drilling be per f or nod to teat thin target,

prctfctrably vlth two Intersecting holes drilled fron opposite

directions ** no dip information is availablo. Such rf rill lug:

that nil auoh work be performed under winter conditlofi* when
