INTRODUCTION

Senator Stone Supply Ltd. holds a property with marble building stone potential

in Faraday Township, Bancroft area, Southern Ontario Mining Division.

During the 1994 field season, Senator Stone evaluated the potential ot this

oroperty by conducting a program ot diamond drilling, overburden stripping, and roc K

trenching. The program, which was designated OM 94-032, was supervised by an

experienced quarry master, and was designed to determine:

1- the potential size and consistency of the desirable rock unit, and

2- the average size of block that could be quarried, and its ease ot extraction, and

3- the colour, texture, and pattern of rock slabs after cutting and polishing, ana

4- the marketability of the finished product.

l his report describes the work that was performed, and the results that were obtained

EASTERN ONTARIO MARBLE PROJECT

FARADAY TOWNSHIP

Location and Access

The property is situated in the central eastern portion or Faraday Township,

about 3 miles (5 kms) southeast of the town of Bancroft. It consists of mining claim

SO 1156528 in Lot 41, and Lot 42, along the eastern boundary of Faraday Township.

The property is easily reached by Highway 62, 3.5 miles (5.6 kms) south from

Bancroft.

-3- General Geology

The Faraday property lies within the Grenville Structural Province ot the

Canadian Precambrian Shield, within a broad belt ot marble metasediments in the

general east-west trending Hastings Basin.

1994OMIP Program

The work consisted primarily of diamond drilling, overburden stripping, and

rocK trenching.

Four holes were drilled for a total footage ot 341 feet (104 meters). All ot the

holes were drilled into a marble unit to obtain information on colour, texture, pattern,

fracture density, and hardness of marble, and also to oPtain data on its size, continuity,

and homogeneity. Table 1 summarizes the Faraday diamond drilling program.

Appendix 1 contains a Drill Plan. Drill Sections, and Drill Logs for each of the 4 holes.

The marble encountered in the Faraday drilling program is attractively coloured

and textured, and structurally competent, and so 2 sites were selected for overburden

stripping and rock trenching.

Roads were built to each site to facilitate the installation ot heavy equipment and

the removal ot rough cut stone blocks. As more and more ot the favourable marble

rock units were exposed, the sites were enlarged.

The rock trenches were not opened by conventional blasting techniques, thus

eliminating the possibility ot any blast-induced fracturing, instead, a wire saw was set

up, and after drilling pairs of intersecting pilot holes in pre-determined locations, the

wire was fished through the holes, and cuts were made to produce the desired shape

and size of the specific block. Several blocks were cut in this manner. The extracted

blocks averaged approximately 6.5' x 3.5' x 5.0' (2m x 1m x 1.5m) in size, and weighed

8- 10 tons.

The resultant rock trench is shown in Figure 1. It is approximately 100' x 80'

(30m x 24m ) in size, and 15' (5m) deep.

The extracted rough blocks were shipped for finishing and display to Italy.

Japan, and the U.S. The stone has been given the trade name "Temagami Pink",

and is currently being displayed for marketing.

Conclusions

The 1994 field program successfully located a marble deposit of suitable colour,

texture, pattern, and size as to be potentially marketable.

Recommendations

Polished slab samples of the Faraday marble should be distributed, and

displayed at building stone trade shows in order to secure sales contracts.

Other DOtential building stone sites in the immediate area should be examined

and evaluated for their suitability and marketability.
