    PROSPECTING, PLUGGER * SAMPLES, GEOLOGY AND VLF-EM SURVEY ON THE UNDERBILL PROPERTY

    For

    JIM MCMAHON

    JAN. 19, 1994BY: BARBARA KOWALSKI

  • INTRODUCTION

    The purpose of this report is to summarize the results from

    the prospecting, samples assayed from the plugger holes, geology

    and VLF-EM completed over a portion of the grid. The geology,

    spotting plugger holes were completed during July 10th to 14th.

    The scheduled time for drilling the plugger holes and prospecting

    are outlined in the OPAP submission daily log forms.

    LOCATION

    The Undersill property, is located two to six kilometers

    west northwest of the town of Beardmore, south of the secondary

    Highway 580 which leaves Highway 11, one kilometer north of

    Beardmore for 7.5 km.

    PAST WORK

    Exploration work began in 1910 on the property with limited

    amount of work. The exploration work resumed with drilling,

    blasting, prospecting in 1937 on the Murphy Showing where a

    channel sample across 5 inches returned a gold grade of 0.06

    ounces per ton.

    The next stage of work was completed in 1983, with a ground

    magnetic and geological survey over a portion of the claims.

    In 1984, Geoscience Laboratories, Ontario Geological Survey,

  • obtained sampled the property and in one of the grab samples of a

    sheared greywacke and quartz returned a gold grade of 0.02 ounces

    of gold per ton.

    In 1988, Nipigon Gold Resources Ltd. completed a program of

    line-cutting, three drill holes, airborne magnetometer and

    electromagnetic surveys on the property. Stripping, trenching,

    some sampling, and geological mapping of the strippings was

    completed at the time. Results from the drill holes returned low

    grades of gold.

    CURRENT WORK

    GENERAL GEOLOGY

    The Beardmore-Geraldton area is underlain by rocks of the

    Wabigoon Subprovince that is typified by Archean metavolcanics

    and metasedimentary sequences intruded by felsic and mafic

    intrusives and dykes. Regional faults strike east such as the

    Sandra Lake Fault are important to the area since major gold

    deposits occur on or near these faults.

    PROPERTY GEOLOGY

    The property is dominated by east trending Timiskaming

    metasediments, magnetite-hematite-chert-jasper banded iron

    formation. The iron formation is oriented northeast direction.

    The iron formations vary in width from a few inches to a few feet

  • in width. Quartz veins are typically associated with the iron

    formations and often contain sulphides. The sulphides that occur

    in the veins are pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, bornite,

    malachite, minor arsenopyrite and galena.

    The iron formations are folded and it is within the drag

    folds that gold was encountered during the plugger survey.

    PROSPECTING, PLUGGER SAMPLING, DESCRIPTIONS AND ASSAYS

    The areas that were prospected are located in claims TB

    1196508 and TB 887270. The area in claim 1196508 is hosted by

    greywackes that are fine-grained sugary in texture and are

    massive. The general strike and dip of the greywackes was

    determined to be 090/80S. A number of narrow quartz veinlets and

    stringers occur in the unit. The greywackes appear sheared toward

    the contact with the iron formations. In the massive sequence of

    greywackes are iron formations. The iron formations are oxide

    facies and contain up to 15% sulphides. Sugary and glassy quartz

    veinlets cross-cut the iron formations. The iron formations

    strike 090 however were determined to be overturned in the

    sequence 85N.

    Plugger hole sampling

    Seventy-six dust samples were collected carefully into

    bags from the plugger holes. The depth of the plugger holes were

    1.5 feet. These samples were taken along the iron formation,

  • particularly where sulphides were apparent. The results from the

    program revealed that gold occurs along the drag folds or in the

    noses of the folds of the iron formation. Those samples that

    carried gold were #32- 0.127opt, #34- 0.072opt, #54- 0.049, #66-

    0.142opt. These are the highest assays ever obtained on the

    property. Assays from the remainder of the samples are shown on

    the assay certificate.

    Note; All sample descriptions- dust taken from plugger holes in

    magnetite-hematite-jasper iron formation. Sugary to glassy

    quartz veinlets cross-cut the iron formation. The veins are 2 to

    5 inches in width. The iron formation contains sulphides of

    pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, bornite, minor arsenopyrite and

    galena as fine disseminations 1mm in diameter and massive vein

    lets. The sulphides occur in varying amounts from l to 15^

    concentrations.

    The second area that was prospected and geology completed

    was claim 887270. Banded iron formations and quartz veins from a

    few inches to a few feet were encountered. A number of old

    trenches were also encounterd. Samples were attempted to be

    taken, however, the veins and the banded iron formation were so

    flat lying and smooth, it made it very difficult to obtain a

    sample for assay. A plugger hole and subsequent blasting is

    necessary to obtain good samples. It was observed however, that

    up to 5% sulphides, pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and galena

    occur in the iron formation. The iron formation is variably

  • silicified with a bluish quartz. Just to the east of the proper

    ty along strike of the iron formation similar rocks were drilled

    and returned assays several ounces of gold per ton and sections

    as high was 40 feet in width with a gold grade of 0.50 ounces per

    ton. This area should be the focus for the exploration program.

    VLF-EM SURVEY

    A Crone Radem VLF-EM was utilized using Cutler, Maine 17.8

    kHz transmitter station over the 12.55 km grid. The survey was

    completed during the period from January 1st to the 12th. The

    base stations were located along the base line. The readings

    were read every 16 meters such that the conductors may be

    depicted. All readings were corrected with the base station

    readings. The profile scale used was lcm equals 10%. The dip

    and the horizontal field strength were measured and the results

    plotted on Map l found at the back of this report.

    RESULTS OF THE SURVEY

    Two conductors occur on the grid. Conductor A located north

    of the base line is a weak conductor and crosses the entire

    property. An esker occurs in this area and therefore, the

    conductor may be reflected as part of the overburden. Conductor

    B located to the south of the grid is a strong conductor and

    represents the banded iron formation. This conductor continues

    across the property.

  • CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    The area in the banded iron formation that carries gold

    should be further evaluated, that is, a further program of

    backhoe stripping should be completed to uncover a further

    portion of the iron formation which continues along strike. A

    backhoe stripping program should also be completed over the the

    northerly claim where a number of trenches were encountered. A

    program of sampling, including plugger holes and blasting should

    be completed in the area. The VLF-EM, magnetometer and geologi

    cal surveys should be completed over the entire property. The

    expenditures for the next program are outlined below.
