SUMMARY
The Bear Lake property comprises of 13 stated mining claims, held
in good standing by T. Beckett and A Salo , located in MeGarry and
Mcvittie Tp in northeastern Ontario.
From June to December, 1993, T Beckett, undertook an exploration
project which consisted of linecutting, prospecting, a 'beep mat 1
survey, geological mapping and sampling over the lands and shorelines
of the Bear Lake property The purpose of the project was to examine
the property using modern techniques to provide an updated assessment
of the property Past work likely done in the 1930's and 1940's revealed
many old trenches and some drill casings, which there is not any records
of
Two separate copper occurences were found during this project as well as
a large alteration zone several hundred meters long. This zone, thus
far has revealed copper mineralization as well as elevated gold levels.
Many old trenches as well as drill casings were located here, though no
record of past work was ever found.
In total, 45 bush days have been devoted to this project, (thus far),
which has been funded by an Ontario Prosector's grant, (O P.A.P.)
A winter geophysics project will begin, following the completion of
this project.

INTRODUCTION
The Bear Lake Property consists of 13 staked mining claims in good
standing located in McGarry and Mcvittie tp Larder Lake Mining
Division.
The 1993 project consisted of linecutting, prospecting, a 'beep mat 1
survey, geological mapping, sampling and a winter project of geophysics
over Bear Lake which has yet to be completed
Work on the project began in late June,1993 and continued through the
summer and fall, concluding in December,1993.
LOCATION AND ACCESS;
The 13 claim property called 'Bear Lake Propeerty 1 is located in McGarry
and Mcvittie Tp Ontario, Larder Lake Mining Division and within the
Kirkland Lake Resident Geologist's Area. The N.T-S. co-ordinates are
32D/04 (Larder Lake Sheet), the latitude is 48 09' and the longitude
is 79 37'- The property lies approximately 2 miles northwest of
Virginiatown and is located on the east end of Bear Lake, to the north
of Bear Lake, to Beaver Lake and north along Bear Creek. There are
12 claims which lie in McGarry Tp. and l claim in Mcvittie Tp.
Access to the property is gained by water, heading east on Bear Lake
from the Bear Lake picnic area off Highway#66. A boat launch is located
here. AdcasB :by land can be gained from Virginiatown North, to the
Cheminis Lumber Road which is suitable for truck access in the summer,
part way. Access from there, can be continued by foot, crossing a
bridge at Bear Creek, then heading to the power line.
MINING CLAIMS;
The property consists of 13 mining claims, in good standing, held
503; by T. Beckett and 50% by A. Salo. Some surface rights of the claims
are held by the Township of McGarry The mining claims covered in
this report included:
L1152304-305; L1185526-530; L1185631-633; L11887098-100.

LOCAL RESOURCES;
WATER; Bear Lake and Beaver Lake could sustain a mining or milling
operation, though water from these lakes is not likely potable.
An artesian well flows year-round, just west of the picnic area
at Bear Lake. This water is potable.
POWER: Ontario Hydo's double powerline cuts through the middle of
the claim group. This power line services Virginiatown and
the Kerr Mine.
TRANSPORTATION t Highway #66 runs east-west past the south west shore
of Bear Lake to Virginiatown and on into Quebec to
the east and into Kirkland Lake to the west, approxi
mately 50 km. away
INFRASTRUCTURE; The Kerr Mine could provide milling services for
a developing mine.
PREVIOUS WORK;
Since the discovery of gold at what is now the Kerr Mine, in 1906,
a rash of prospecting occurred in the area, most of which was never
recorded. Several old trenches and drill casings on the property
confirm past work, yet no records of it was ever found. The list
below outlines the work recorded on the : property in the past:
1937 : Prospecting unknown; prospecting of Bear Lake Area
1937-38: Ivan Larder Mines; rock trenching surface work

REGIONAL GEOLOGY: (after Thomson. 1941)
The Larder Lake area represented northeastern Ontario's first gold rush, with the discovery of gold in 1906. The subsequent develop ment of the the area's gold mines include the Laguerre, the Kerr, the Omega, the Cheminis, the Chesterville and the Armistice
The area's rocks consist of Pre-cambrian aged volcanics, sediments, and intrusives, Keewatin acid and basic volcanic;flows, overlain by Timiskaming sediments, and acidic volcanics. Intermixed sediments and volcanics of Timiskaming age lie unconformably over Keewatin volcanics. Both series are cut by Algoman-aged intrusives which consists of syenites, porphyry and lamporphyres. Sediments of Cobalt age overlie the intrusives , volcanics and sedimentary groups uncon^ formably.
All pre-Cobalt strata are folded to near vertical position and are overturned in places. In most cases, strata c f Timiskaming age face south across the entire belt, from Kenogami to Larder Lake.
The Larder Lake break marks the southern contact of Timiskaming series through the area. The break persists for approximately 150 miles into the Cadillac-Malartic fault system. The fault consists of sheared and altered zones up to several hundred feet across in width and parallel shear zones may occur off the break. Talc chlorite schist marks the fault but a large portion of the zone has been subjected to siliceous carbonate replacement. The rocks adjacxent to the fault are sheared, carbonatized, drag-folded and generally greatly altered.
The Spectacle Lake-Kerr Addison anticline fold axis runs through Bear Lake in McGarry-McVittie tp., cutting the Keewatin volcanics which lie between the north and south synclinal bands of Timiskaming sediments. This fold pitches to the east steeply, which accounts for the gradual disappearence of Keewatin volcanics to the east.
The most important gold deposits lie along a belt of Timiskaming volcanics in the vicinity of a strongly sheared and carbonatized zone near the break. Zones of shearing or faulting unrelated to the
l 7
REGIONAL GEOLOGY: (Confd)
break, may yield gold mineralization, as seen at the Thib and Laguere
Mines.
Gold is the only metal of economic importance in the area thus far.
Gold deposits have been found to exist in several types of deposits.
These are: fissure or composite quartz veins; quartz stockwork deposits
in dolomite; quartz-sulfide deposits in tuffs or volcanics; sulphide
bodies without much quartz; gold-bearing talc chlorite schist; and
a mineralized dike.
SAMPLING:
A total of 17 samples were collected throughout the project and
assayed at various locations. Special thanks to Noranda Exploration
for their assistance in the assaying of thirteen of these samples
Samples were assayed for gold, some of the samples were assayed for
silver, copper and zinc and an occasional sample assayed for platinium.
No anomolous values were found, however several elevated levels did
occur In particular, a 140 Au ppb was.found in a pyritic. quartz-rich
conglomerate A few highly altered sediments did return a 65 ppb Au
as well Elevated copper and zinc values were also noted
The elevated levels were found within sheared zones related either
to structural activity or contact zones. These areas should be
systematically sampled an assayed to determine the areas potential
for econmical deposits.
Sample locations can be found on both the 'Detailed Geology 1 map
and the 'Prospecting .Grid 1 map. The elevated gold values have
also been plotted.

LINECUTTING;
Approximately 1.6, miles of line was cut and picketed, from line
7W to the eastern claim line of patented claim 11982. In total,
14 lines were cut between the power line and Bear Lake.
Inially lines were cut 100m apart, however after examinations of
the ground, lines were then cut between the 100m spacings, to make
the cuts 50m apart. As well, the middle claim line was also cut,
and picketed as 9+75 and the westerly claim boundary cut for adequate
coverage.. The grid was used for a geological and beep mat surveys and
will be used for a winter geophysics program.
PROSPECTING:
A total of 14 days were devoted to prospecting during this project.
Two days were spent prior to any other work of this project beginning.
These days were used to refamilarize the author with the property,
examine trenches and zones of interest and to re-establish the old
grid, (clear alders, clear fallen trees, repair and replace pickets).
Following the establishment of a grid from the power line south to
Bear Lake and the 'beep mat 1 survey, six days were devoted to follow
up conductive and magnetic responses from the beep mat survey.
Most of this time was spent uncovering overburden to bedrock.
The final six days of prospecting were dedicated to following up
airborne survey responses with ground recconnaissance work. Most
of the was spent uncovering outcrop and examining it within the
zones of interest.
Two separate copper occurences were located as a result of prospecting,
as well as an interesting alteration zone.
Further discussions of the results of the time spent prospecting,
can be found in the prospecting report.
BEEP MAT SURVEY:
Following the re-establishment of the old grid and the completion
of the new grid south of the power line to Bear Lake, a 'beep mat'
f l (M
BEEP MAT SURVEY; (Cont'd)
survey was performed over the entire property. A total of seven days
were devoted to this survey.
The 'beep mat 1 is useful in finding surficial or near surficial
conductors and magnetics related to gold, base metal and iron-rich
deposits. It consists of a detector incased in a tough, water proof
plastic shell, which drags along the surface of the ground. A
cable from the detector to the instrument connects the two. The in
strument is strapped to the chest of the operator, for easy access to
a digitized readout and the controls. The readout meter is equipped
with two buzzers, one a low pitched buzzer, activated when there is a
10 herz difference on the conductive side. The other buzzer is a
high p;A.t.ch. sound, activated when a 640 herz difference occurs on the
magnetic sensor.
The sensitivity of the instrument can be changed on both conductive
and magnetic responses at the press of a button. The frequency of
the instmurment can be changed from frequency variation to absolute
frequency at the touch of a button.
The instrument is effective in detection of conductive or magnetic
material within a meter of the surface. The instrument requires a
warm up time of l hour prior to a survey and requires reinializing
after every 15 minutes of use. It operates on a rechargable battery
and be charged from a 110 volt outlet or a 12 volt battery.
All established grid lines were covered during the survey, as well as
trails, lake shores and areas between lines in thick bush. Once a
response by the instrument occurred it was rechectaad and the surround
ing area was check by the instrument. Outcrop was examined, if no
outcrop was present, the area was uncovered where possible to examine
near surface outcrop. If outcrop wasn't found quickly, the response
was recorded and left for future examination. It was important to
keep the instrument moving, for maximum coverage.
Generally the instrument operated well, though it became cumbersome
in thick brush.
BEEP MAT SURVEY;(Cont'd)
The results of the 'beep mat 1 survey are presented in an accompanying
map. The map also explains a possible reason for the response. In
some cases, outcrop could not be reached at an occurence, due to thick
overburden, in which case it was assumed that the response was caused
by boulders or conductive clays or minerals. These areas may still
be of importance and they were recorded as an overburden response.
The beep mat survey initially outlined two separate copper occurences.
The first occurence responded as a series of conductive responses by
the 'beep mat' and after stripping away overburden and prospecting,
the occurence was found. Two separate veins of quartz carbonate with
chalcopyrite, pyrite, malachite mineralization uncovered. The veins
disappeared into water at one end and dipped into thick overburden at
the other. This occurence is located at 3W 100N
The second occurence is located at 10W 550N. The 'beep mat* gave a
conductive response which later after prospecting, uncovered a quartz
vein containing chalcopyrite, pyrite, bornite and malachite. The
vein is a maximum thickness of 4 inches and disappears into thick
overburden at both ends.
The 'beep mat ' appears to respond to copper mineralization very
well. The instrument also gave weak responses over carbonated or
altered rock. This may be due to an increase in conductive material
in this rock not necessarily seen by the human eye. Possibly, as well,
the response could be due to mineralization at depth in these zones.
PROPERTY GEOLOGY;
The property is underlain by tholeiitic basalts of the kenojevis
group unconformably overlain by alkalic volcanics and sedimentary
siltstones, conglomerates, arkose and quartzites all of Timiskaming
age. Late intrusives of Algoman age occur along the western portion
of the claim group. These rocks include syenite and syenite porphyry.
The rocks of the Algoman group outcrop along the western shorelines
of Bear Lake and are for the most part porphyritic- A red to brown
matrix with feldspar (albite) phenocrysts make up this rock type.
Most of the rock appears fresh and unaltered except when it occurs
near a contact or fault zone. The syenite may then appear sheared
or carbonatized The rock can be sufficiently altered to a secondary
rock type (carbonate) or may resemble another rock type. At the
contact between syenite porphyry and basalts at lines HW and 11 + 50.
the contacted rock resembles a trachytic flow. This contact area
is a promising target for mineralization. Carbonatizes sediments
here have revealed pyritic mineralization. Strike faulting along the
south shore of Bear Lake has caused syenite porphyry to become soft
and carbonatized. The contact between syenite porphyry and basalt
on the big island, has produced carbonatized and pyritic syenite
and the rock in places appears trachytic.
The Timiskaming group sediments cover the northeastern portion of Bear
Lake and are believed to have been formed 2,690 million years ago,
(Jensen, 1982) They were formed in a fluviatile and submarine slope
environment and represent a period of tension stresses. Several
different depositional cycles may have occurred and it becomes difficult
to distinguish one strata from another.
Timiskaming sediments represented here occur along and south of the
power line to Bear Lake..Conglomerates are most abundant here, with
varying sized pebbles and boulders within the rock composed of chert,
quartz, feldspars, jasper and occasionally fushite. The conglomerate's
fragments may appear abundantly or may not appear at all, which
cases the rock is whatever the matrix dictates. The conglomerate
becomes of economic interest at line 11-t-SOW, s tat ions 25S and 505 .
Here the matrix becomes quartz rich and heavily pyritic. assay values
have recorded elevated gold values, as high as 140 ppb.
( 13)
PROPERTY GEOLOGY: (Confd)
These elevated levels may be a result of shearing, caused by the proximity to the contact with Keewatin basalts.
The remaining rocks of Timiskaming age found between the power line and Bear Lake, include a siltstone, a bedded strata and a talc-chlorite schist All of these rocks have undergone intense alteration, as a result of structural stresses through the area. Exact classification is impossible and only a general classification is possible. It is certain they are sediments and likely altered so intensely because they are less resistant than volcanics or intrusives. They bedded strata is likely sedimentary in origin rather than an ash origin as that of tuff, due to its field relationship to the surrounding rocks and therefore it is likely a product of intense shearing. It has a vertical or near vertical dip with distinct beds of slatey or chloritic fine grained material.
Volcanic rock of Keewatin age, outcrop as basalt along the south shore line of Bear Lake and can be found intermittently between the power line and north part of Bear Lake. They generally appear unaltered and massive, they may have a dark green, chlorite tinge in areas- Where they outcrop near to syenite porphyry contacts, they become mineralized with pyrite or occasionally chalcopyrite, they contain abundant quartz veining and sometimes may apear trachytic in contact zones such as occurs at lines 10W to 12W. Along the south shore of Bear Lake the occassional pillow can be found in the basalts. They appear well preserved and tops point north.
STRUCTURAL AND ECONOMIC GEOLOGY;
Past history of prominent ore zones within the region dictate the economic importance of structure to these zones. All the areas gold deposits occur within or adjacient to strong shear zones or breaks and these zones occur within or adjacient to zones of carbonatization Ore bodies in the area have been found in carbonate rock, basaltic lavas, syenite dikes and stocks, tuffs and talc chlorite schists All these ingrediences occur throughout the area south of thepower line and north of Bear Lake. Rocks here appear sheared and altered, carbonatization is
(14)
ECONOMIC AND STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY; (Confd)
prevalent and carbonated rocks, basalts syenites, tuffs (bedded strata)
and talc-chlorite schists all occur within this area. The cause of the
intense alteration here is difficult to determine and may be due to more
than one factor.
A transverse north-south fault bisectsthe east end of Bear Lake, cuts
along lines 7W and 8W and continues north into the property. Airborne-
data interprets this and very little outcrop along these lines or along
the south shore of Bear Lake can confirm this. Any alteration related
to this occur would appear localized. Possibly, this fault is related
to folding of the Spectacle Lake anticline, whose fold axis bisects
Keewatin volcanics to the south and Timiskaming sediments to the north.
This fault may have offset shearing to the east, suggesting it occured
after shearing occurred through this zone.
A more likely possible origin to the alteration through this zone,
would be a possible fault running east-west alongthe shoreline of Bear Lake
No outcrop exist here to substaniate this, airborne survey results do
however suggest the possibility. This also would explain the east-west
shearing north of the shoreline. Sediments through here appear greatly
altered, due to there lack of resistance, the basalts are more preserved
however, they may have been fractured and quartz-injected, leaving a criss
cross of quartz vienlets in some areas. Mineralization here includes
pyrite, chalcopyrite,and elevated gold levels.
Shearing and alteration may also be due in part, to contact zones. Three
contacts occur within the area south of the power line: sediments with
syenites; sediments with volcanics and syenites with volcanics. Alteration
may appear in a variety of forms dependant on the chemestry of the re
worked material of the surrounding rocks. These contact zones have also
a past history of economic importance.
An important note should be made of the pyritic, quartz-rich conglomerate
outcropping near the power line at the western portion of the group.
An assay result of 140 ppb occurred in this rock type. The mineralization
within the rock may be related to shearing as a result of faulting, or
it may be caused as a result of contacts in the area or it could be
ECONOMIC AND STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY; (Cont'd)
not related to either at all. This stratigraphic bed of conglomerate
may be auriferous due to a Witwatersrand-type deposit The horizon
should be stratigrahically mapped in areas outside zones of influence.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION;
The establishment of 50 m apart cut lines through the area south of the
power line to Bear Lake provided adequate control to locate accurately
the many old trenches and the complex nature of the rock. As well, the
grid will provide good coverage and control for the upcoming winter
geophysics project.
The 'beep mat survey was successful in providing the initial response
over two separate copper occurrences. With follow-up prospecting and
stripping of overburden, the 'beep mat 1 was found to be an effective
method in locating near surface discoveries It should be mentioned
as well, that some unexplained responses, due to overburden problems
may yet reveal new discoveries.
Although sampling and analysis did not reveal any anomolous showings,
it did reveal elevated gold levels in specific areas. In particular,
a 140 ppb response was found in a pyritic, quartz-rich conglomerate
Elevated gold, copper and zinc levels were found in shearing within
the area south of the power line.
Geological mapping identified three different aged rock types within
the surveyed area; an Algoman syenite intrusive; Timiskaming sediments;
and Keewatin basalts Alteration of these rocks occur along contact
zones and within sheared zones related to structural activity These
areas may be mineralized, be graphitic or the rock may be sufficiently
altered to resemble something else Carbonatization is prevalent within
these zones as well
It is reccommended that the pyritic quartz-rich conglomerate be mapped
in detail and if possible, the stratigraphic horizon of the conglomerate
be located and then sampled and assayed.
i i e, \
RECCOMMENDATIONS AND CONLUSION; (Cont'd)
Secondly, old trenching should be mucked out in strategic locations
and systematically sampled, assayed and mapped in detail It may
be necessary to employ some type of mechanical means of stripping.
A winter project of geophysics will begin over and north of Bear
Lake shortly- Ground magnetics and VLF-EM will be used. Dependant
on the outcome of these surveys, it may be useful to conduct a
horizontal loop survey over the area.
