SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY REPORT

QUADEVILLE PROPERTY

LYNDOCH TOWNSHIP

for

ST.JOSEPH EXPLORATIONS LTD.

R.G.Jackson November, 1977

INTRODUCTION~ " "^^r l~ ~|-|LB

This report describes the results of a soil

geochemical survey carried out on a group of ten claims

located on lots 16 to 20 inclusive, concession 14, Lyndoch

Township, approximately l mile ENE of the village of Quadeville,

Ontario. The field work was completed by C.Papertzian and

C.Harrison of St.Joseph Explorations during the period

August 12 to August 17, 1976. The samples were analyzed for

zinc, lead, iron, and manganese by Bondar-Clegg St Co. Ltd.

The results of this survey are presented on maps I to IV accom

panying this report.

PROPERTY AND CLAIM STATUS

The Quadeville property consists of 10 claims

with the following schedule:

December l, 1975 EO 449488-91 incl.

December l, 1975 EO 463120-23 incl.

February 6, 1976 EO 454272-73

The location of these claims are indicated

on each of maps I to IV.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The Quadeville property is located approximately

l mile ENE of Quadeville, Ontario on lots 16 to 20 inclusive,

concession 14, Lyndoch Township. Access is by cottage and

logging roads which branch off of a paved road extending east

from Quadeville.

TOPOGRAPHY

Relief in the area is 30-40 m. Resistant

intrusive bodies are responsible for gentle sloping hills

in the central portion of the claim group. The southern

boundary of the group consists of a 30 0 north facing slope.

A small lake occupies the center of the east end of the claim

group. Drainage is from east to west in the form of moderately

fast flowing streams in the order of l to 2 m wide.

Page 2

The hills are vegetated with mature oak and

maple which have subsequently been 'logged, particularly in

the area north and west of the lake. Cedar dominate the low

lying areas along the streams.

HISTORY OF PREVIOUS WORK

No prior exploration work is known to have

been carried out on this claim group.

GEOLOGICAL SETTING

The property is underlain by precambrian

metasedimentary and intrusive rocks of the Grenville Super

group. Units include impure marble (dominantly calcitic),

orthogneiss and its pegmatitic equivalents, and hornblende

gabbro.

The regional structural trend is approximately

N 30-40 0 E with moderate dips to the southeast. Evidence of

complex folding occurs east of the property but limited out

crop on the property preclude any detailed structural

interpretation.

SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

Approximately two kilograms of soil was

collected every 30 m along lines spaced 100 m apart.

Preference was given for B horizon material but peat was

sampled where no B was present as was commonly the case in

the vicinity of streams. The soils, dominantly brunisols,

were developed on sandy ablation till containing numerous

rounded orthogneiss and paragneiss boulders probably derived

from some distance away. A total of 684 samples were collected

during the initial survey. Anomalous areas were resampled

in more detail with stations every 15 m along lines 50 m

apart. An additional 144 samples were collected in this

manner.

All samples were sent to Bondar-Clegg Se

Co. Ltd. where they were sieved to minus 210 microns

(-80#) . This fraction was digested with a 4:1 HCl/HNO..

acid mixture. The resulting solutions were analyzed for

lead, zinc, iron, and manganese by atomic absorption

spectrophotometry. A background correction was made for

lead. Bondar-Clegg quotes a precision of - 1596 for each

element but no St.Joseph standards were included to check this.

Controls included in the resampled soils confirmed these

limits of precision for that particular data set.

DISTRIBUTION OF LEAD AND ZINC IN SOILS

Based on cumulative frequency curves, the

lead and zinc thresholds do not differ significently between

B horizon samples and peat samples. However, a higher

percentage of samples classified as peat are anomalous

which probably indicates the majority of these anomalies

are hydromorphic rather than glacially transported.

The threshold for zinc is 400 ppm with the

200 ppm level corresponding to x 4- 6 .

The threshold for lead is 55 ppm with x + S

corresponding to 25 ppm.

The distributions of zinc and lead yield

somewhat similiar patterns (maps l and 2). A multi-sample

lead-zinc anomaly occurs in the southeast corner of the

claim group between lines 15 and 20 east. The other anomalies

appear to be erratic highs within an elevated background

associated with the marbles. The granitic and mafic

intrusions in the central portion of the area are reflected

by relatively low levels of lead and zinc.

Page 4

DISTRIBUTION OF IRON AND MANGANESE IN SOILS

The cumulative frequency curve for iron is

suggestive of two arithmetic populations: a low iron

population less than 1.796 iron corresponding to the peat

samples and a high iron population between 0.4 and 4.096 iron

corresponding to the B horizon soils. Threshold was chosen

to be 4.0/6 as the majority of samples are from the B horizon

but peat samples containing greater than 1.796 iron may also

be anomalous.

The cumulative frequency curve for manganese

indicates predominently one logarithmic population with

the threshold occurring at 6000 ppm. The 1700 ppm contour

line represents x b .

The distributions of iron and manganese are

generally erratic over the whole area. The distribution of

zinc and lead do not appear to be significantly influenced

by iron and manganese.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A multisample lead-zinc soil anomaly in B

horizon and peat samples was identified between lines 15

and 20 east in the southeast corner of the claim group. The

anomaly does not appear to be related to anomalously high

iron and manganese contents in the soil.

Due to the lack of outcrop in this area, it

is recommended that magnetometer, VLF and IP surveys be carried

out to obtain additional structural and geological information.

On the basis of the geophysical and geo

chemical data, selected areas should be trenched.
