RECOMMENDATIONS
At least four areas which appear to contain potential for a gold
discovery should be thoroughly investigated. Detailed VLF electromag
netic (EM) and magnetometer surveys should first be conducted over these
zones of interest to provide information which will assist in defining
the parameters of geological units, and in the general evaluation of
these areas. Mechanical stripping should be subsequently conducted,
where feasible, to define and delineate the gold-bearing quartz
carbonate zone south of Trench Lake and the other three locations of
potential gold enrichment; followed by drilling those targets which show
encouraging results.
Many other locations, such as those with significant quartz veining
or old trench sites, should be prospected in detail and all sulfide
and/or quartz veined occurrences should be well sampled for assay.
Additional work at these locations would be subject to the results of
the prospecting program.
Specific recommendations are summarized as follows:
1. To complete the recommended work, it will be necessary to develop
about 14 km to 16 km of access road. A reasonably good route,
mainly along sand plains about one kilometer south of Paint Lake,
would provide access to the west boundary of the property from
Highway 801. Sandy plains can also be utilized to provide good
routes of access to the recommended work locations within the pro
perty area.
2. a) A picket line grid with 50 meter line spacing should be estab
lished, between the present lines 9+OOW and 2+OOE, over the
area which contains the gold-bearing quartz carbonate zone
just south of Trench Lake. A detailed magnetometer and VLF
electromagnetic survey should then be conducted over this
grid.
b) Where possible, this zone should be exposed by bulldozer
and/or backhoe stripping across its width and length to define
and delineate potential gold-bearing locations. Specific
locations of interest, exposed by the stripping, should
additionally be washed clean and sampled in detail for assay,
utilizing a diamond saw.
c) Lastly, the zone should be tested at depth by diamond drilling
at those locations where encouraging values are returned from
the results of the surface work.
3. The sequence of exploration outlined in the above section 2, should
also be carried out over the three other areas of interest which
are located as follows:
a) Within the highly foliated to schistose volcanics south of
the Paint Lake Fault in the area outlined by the present grid
co-ordinates of 1+OOE to 11+OOE, and 8+OOS to 13+OOS.
b) In the area along and north of the volcanic-metaconglomerate
contact, north of Contact Lake, outlined by the present grid
co-ordinates of 15+OOE to 25+OOE, and 9+OOS to 13+OOS. In
this area, the location of the east-west striking ridge of
high magnetic relief and the horizontal loop EM conductor,
depicted by the results of the 1980 Dome Exploration survey,
should be geophysically relocated and defined in detail. The
EM conductor should then be exposed by surface stripping, if
possible, or diamond drilled.
c) In the area of fault shearing and alteration along Baseline
20+OOS between lines 12+OOE and 23+OOE.
4. Locations of old trenches, quartz and quartz carbonate veining,
narrow cherty zones and those locations of intense saussurite clot
ting with associated quartz should be prospected in detail. At
least some of these might lead to more viable targets that would
warrant a more intensive exploration program.
A sufficiently large budget should be allocated to this promising
property to support an adequate and thorough evaluation of the property
potential. A summary of estimated costs for the program recommended
is submitted as follows:
1. Bulldozer and backhoe work for developing 8km of access road from Hwy. 801 to the west boundary of the property $ 16,000
2. Bulldozer and backhoe for developing 7km ofaccess road within the property area 15,000
3. Line cutting (in addition to the present grid) 2,000
4. Magnetometer and VLF surveys(including final reports and maps) 8,000
5. Bulldozer and backhoe stripping 70,000
6. Washing, sampling, mapping and blasting striptrenches 10,000
7. Prospecting and sampling 4,000
8. Diamond drilling 1000m at $80/m 80,000
9. Administrative costs 3 15,000
TOTAL ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES $250,000
GENERAL .STATEMENT
The Caviar-Dubawnt property is centrally located within the
Beardmore-Geraldton Gold Belt which contains some fifteen past gold pro
ducers and numerous gold occurrences. The property is bisected by the
Paint Lake Fault system which is considered to be a conduit for gold
occurrences in the area. The most recent significant development along
this system is the Metalore Resources gold discovery which is presently
on the verge of becoming a producer. The geology and structure under
lying the area of the Metalore discovery and that of the Caviar-Dubawnt
property are very similar: these two properties lie on strike with each
other and host the same general lithologic units (Map 2356, Macksey 1976
and Map 2294, Macksey 1975). Therefore, if gold-be'aring zones occur
on the Metalore property then it seems reasonable to assume that similar
zones could also underlie the Caviar-Dubawnt property. The present
prospecting and geological mapping was designed to investigate this
aspect, as well as any other possibilities which might lead to a gold
discovery.
A promising gold enriched quartz carbonate zone was located and
exposed at two old trench sites largely by the efforts of Jerry Bruce
and his assistant Doug Brackenridge. Encouraging gold values up to 0.30
oz/ton (verbal communication with Jerry Bruce) have been obtained from
this zone. Several other locations of interest, which warrant further
exploration, were also observed by the author during the geological
survey.
INTRODUCTION
This report documents the results of a detailed geological mapping,
prospecting and trenching program that was conducted jointly on the
Caviar Resources Ltd. property (54 claims) and the adjoining Dubawnt
Resources Ltd. property (27 claims) during the period May 16, 1988 to
August 31, 1988. Previous work, comments on the geological setting,
the work program and results of the mapping program are discussed. Con
clusions are presented and recommendations offered.
The results are also depicted on three geology maps and one trench
map.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The 81 claim property area borders the south shore of Expansion
Lake and is situated immediately south of the north boundary of Leduc
Township, Ontario (Fig. 1). It lies about six kilometers north of
Jellicoe which is on Highway 11 about 180km east of the City of Thunder
Bay, Ontario. Expansion Lake may be reached via automobile by travel
ling 15km on the Kinghorn Road north from Highway 11 and then four kilo
meters east along a small dirt road. From Expansion Lake, waterways
allow boat access to various locations on the property.
PROPERTY
The area covered by the geological mapping program covers a group
of 81 mining claims in Leduc Township, Ontario as indicated on the claim

PREVIOUS WORK
Many old trenches located during the present survey attest to the
fact that considerable exploration, apparently mainly in the form of
prospecting and . trenching, was completed on the property some 20 to 50
years ago. The only record of this early work is a short article on
the seven claim Barker project (page 848 in the Dec. 1945 Canadian
Mining Journal). This showing is described to lie in a 10 ft. to 15
ft. wide shear zone which contains narrow quartz veins and bands of sul
fide, mainly pyrite, with chalcopyrite in places. Assay returns of
$40/t gold across two feet, $5/t across five feet and $3.75/t across
11 ft. are reported. (Gold at this time was priced at $35 per oz.)
The location is described as being east and south of Kingston Island
and situated in volcanics just south of a conglomerate unit which
strikes east-west across the property. This reported zone is believed
to be at the same location as the two old trench sites that were found
during the present exploration program. Several samples collected from
these trenches by Jerry Bruce during August, 1988 assayed low to very
encouraging gold values ranging up to 0.3 oz/ton (verbal communication
with Jerry Bruce). One representative grab sample by the author, from
the old trench at 4+91W, 15+25S returned a value of 0.224 oz/ton in
gold.
Assessment file research revealed two recorded geophysical surveys
over the eastern part of the property area; a horizontal loop electro
magnetic (EM) survey conducted by Hudson's Bay Exploration (HBED) in
1972, and a horizontal loop (EM) and magnetometer survey conducted by
Dome Exploration in 1980.
The HBED survey results depict a long formational EM conductor
which closely follows the Namewaminikan River, a weak but continuous
conductive zone along the Paint Lake Fault system, and two conductive
horizons south of the fault. All four EM conductors extend from the
east well into the Dubawnt property area. This survey covers an area
roughly from 11+OOE to 28+OOE, and 2+OOS to 15+OOS on the present grid.
HBED also delineated a short horizontal loop EM conductor within
volcanics which they drill tested with a 300 ft. hole in 1973. During
the present mapping, the drill hole setup was located at 18+30S and
3+25E. Andesitic volcanics with frequent quartz carbonate stringers,
tuffaceous sections, minor mylonite, a \h ft. chert section and several
narrow pyrrhotite mineralized zones are reported in the drill log. Two
10
sections were assayed for gold, silver, copper, and zinc with only trace
returns, except for one assay which returned Q.10% zinc across 2.5 ft.
The 1980 Dome Exploration survey covers part of the earlier 1972
HBED survey area. On the present grid it covers the area between the
co-ordinates 8+OOE to 28+900E and 7+OOS to 11+OOS. The Dome 1980 hori
zontal loop EM results closely duplicate the EM results of the HBED 1972
survey. The most significant feature characterized by the 1980 magneto
meter survey is a narrow east-west striking linear magnetic high of 400
gamma to 1500 gamma intensity. It is located from 8-fOOE to 28+OOE
between 10+50S and 11+75S on the present grid. The continuity of this
magnetic "ridge" is sharply broken at about 23+OOE, 11+OOS. A strong
horizontal loop EM conductor cuts ENE through this "magnetic" break.
A northeasterly striking structure (a fault?) is likely associated with
the EM conductor at this location. The magnetic "ridge" and conductive
horizon are both located within volcanics less than 100m north of the
contact with the polymicitic metaconglomerate to the south. Several
old trenches were located in this general area.
The most recent recorded work over the property area is a 1986 air
borne magnetometer, electromagnetic and radiometric survey that was con
ducted by Geoterrex for Murgor, Diplomat and Ark Energy. The airborne
EM anomalies closely correspond to the conductive zones delineated by
the earlier ground surveys. The airborne EM results also suggest that
nost of these conductive zones extend westward through the property
area. The airborne magnetic results depict the same magnetic "ridge"
as was outlined by the Dome 1980 ground survey. A strong magnetic high
indicated south of Trench Lake may be related to the diabase dike and
mafic intrusives in that area. The cause of a strong magnetic high
11
situated just east of Kingston Island remains unknown due to lack of
outcrop exposure in that area.
The Geoscience Report 149 (Mackasey, 1976) includes the property
area and outlines the general underlying geology and structure. Of
particular interest is the Paint Lake Fault system which cuts east-west
centrally through the property.
WORK PROGRAM
The field work was carried out during the period between May 16,
1988 and August 31, 1988. It included line cutting, prospecting and
detailed geological mapping over the whole property area. A cut and
chained picket line grid with 100m line spacing was utilized for loca
tion control. A total of 108 line km was covered by the geological sur
vey as well as several kilometers of shoreline mapping. Old trenches
were also searched for. Several of these were located. Two long
trenches were also mucked out, blasted, sampled and mapped. Additional
to the main grid, a short baseline and picket lines were established
at the area of the two trenches, for detailed location control.
All the geological mapping was completed by the author. Assistance
was provided by Rod Letang between June 28th and July 26th, 1988.
Jerry Bruce supervised the trench work and obtained samples for
assay. He was assisted by Doug Brackenridge and John Koski. This work
was carried out during various periods between July 20th and August
31st, 1988.
All the map work was completed from a tent camp at a road acces
sible site on the north shore of Expansion Lake. A canoe with a small
outboard motor was used for transport to various locations on the
12
property. A second canoe was portaged to some of the inland lakes to
provide access to across these lakes.
A total of 34 samples for assay was collected from various loca
tions of interest by the author. Several samples were also taken for
assay by Jerry Bruce from the two old trench sites which were blasted
and mucked out. These trenches cut a gold enriched, quartz-veined car-
bonatized zone located just south of Trench Lake.
GEOLOGY, STRUCTURE AND LOCATIONS OF EXPLORATION INTEREST
(Maps l, 2 and 3)
For the convenience of the reader, the following subject matter
is segregated into areas or sections, beginning with a discussion of
the area covered by "Kingston Island" and ending with a discussion on
the "Area South of the Metaconglomerate Unit".
Details of the gold-bearing quartz carbonate zone, located just
south of Trench Lake, is treated last.
Kingston Island:
The best outcrop exposure occurs along the north shore of the
island. Moderate exposure is found in the northwest and at a few loca
tions in the central part of the island. The remainder of this area
is covered ,by swamp or sand plain.
The island is underlain by mafic to intermediate volcanics includ
ing deformed pillow lavas, massive flows, flow breccias and minor amyg
daloidal lavas. The volcanics are weakly to moderately well foliated
with occasional very minor shears. Of interest is a pinkish medium
13
grain plagioclase porphyritic syenite which is clearly exposed on the
north shoreline between lines 16+OOW and 17+OOW. It "blends" eastward
into a greenish saussuritized feldspathic porphyry. A fine to medium
grain diorite (possibly a coarse grain flow) is exposed at the south
eastern tip of the island. A south striking diabase dike of about
twenty meters in width follows line 20+OOW south from Expansion Lake.
Minor quartz veining and locally minor disseminated pyrite was
observed at several locations. A 20cm thick quartz vein, mainly buried
under water, at the north end of line 22+OOW was sampled for assay and
returned 0.013 oz/ton gold. Another small quartz vein with associated
pyrite, located at 22+10W, 3+45N, returned 0.007 oz/ton gold. Four
samples from a small rusty silicified zone with pyrite, chalcopyrite
and malachite mineralization at 18+OOW, 1+OON returned gold values of
trace, 0.01, 0.008 and 0.009 oz/ton gold.
Area East of Kingston Island and North of the Namewaminikan River:
Most of this area is covered by deep glacial drift or swamp. The
best outcrop exposures lie along the shorelines of small lakes and along
the Namewaminikan River. The underlying rocks include dioritic to
gabbroic intrusives, mafic to felsic volcanic flows and minor related
volcaniclastics.
A medium to coarse grain pyroxene-amphibole metagabbro underlies
the area between Gabbro Lake and Lobe Lake. It grades into diorite to
the north. A medium grain diorite (possibly a coarse flow) is exposed
at the northeast corner of the property. Gabbroic to dioritic rocks
also occur along the north side of the Namewaminikan River. They appear
to be interflow intrusives which were formed contemporaneously or
14
penecontemporaneously with the volcanic flows. In most of these
intrusives the plagioclase feldspars are almost completely altered to
saussurite.
Mafic to intermediate volcanics are exposed at several sparsely
separated locations. They are generally weakly to well foliated and
locally contain minor shears. They exhibit considerable saussuritiza
tion, lesser chloritization and variable intergradations from andesitic
to dacitic composition. Minor pillow lavas, agglomerate, tuff, lapilli
tuff, and flow breccia apparently interlie between the massive flows.
Rhyolite flows are exposed in a few outcrops in line 2+OOE.
Minor (subsidiary?) fault structures and associated shearing were
observed at several locations. East northeast striking faulting is
clearly evident in a creek bed at 3+25S on line 9+OOE. Here the vol
canics have been sheared into a chlorite, chlorite-sericite and sericite
schist across at least ten meters of section. Quartz carbonate veining
occurs along the apparent fault line. Compositional variations across
section suggest that the original rock was likely composed of mafic to
felsic tuff. A sample from the quartz carbonate veining returned 0.005
oz/ton gold.
Quartz carbonate veining up to one meter thick is exposed in sev
eral old trenches at 0+50S between lines 22+OOE and 23+OOE. This zone,
which lies within well foliated to schistose mafic volcanics, was traced
for about 50 meters along strike. Additional trenches may exist in this
area. Therefore, it should be prospected in detail and all locations
of interest should be sampled for assay.
A sharply indented north striking draw between lines 4+OOE and
5+OOE could be underlain by a fault. A minor fault shear is indicated
15
by crenulate folded chlorictic schist with quartz carbonate seaming on
the east shore of Lobe Lake (line 1+OOE). Fault sheared chlorite and
chlorite-sericite schist with minor quartz carbonate veining was also
observed on a small island at about 7+OOS, 10+OOW and at the intersec
tion of stream and the river at about 5+OOS, 7+50E.
Area Between the Namewaminikan River and the Paint Lake Fault:
Most of this area contains moderate to abundant outcrop exposure
along an east-west trending ridge which lies between the Namewaminikan
River to the north and the lowlands along the Paint Lake Fault to the
south.
The underlying rocks are composed of weakly to moderately well
foliated volcanic flows of intermediate composition. "Intercalated with
in these flows are minor tuff, lapilli tuff, and occasional narrow
cherty beds. No intrusives were observed in this section. The section
pinches out in the west where the Paint Lake Fault and the Namewaminikan
River coalesce. It thickens to the east, and is about 300 meters wide
at the east boundary of the property.
Although the actual Paint Lake Fault line is not exposed on the
property, there is evidence of the faulting in exposed outcrop at 8+75S
just west of line 2+OOE on the northeast shore of a small lobate bay.
Here intermediate to felsic volcanics have been brecciated, sheared,
foliated and altered. Sericitization, chloritization, silicification,
quartz seaming and lensing, carbonatization and minor pyritization are
all clearly exhibited on what apparently is the north flank of the fault
zone.
16
Area Between the Paint Lake Fault and the Metaconglomerate Unit:
This portion of the property is underlain by mafic to intermediate
volcanics which have been strongly affected by the fault forming pro
cesses of the Paint Lake Fault system. This aspect is clearly depicted
in the area of relatively abundant rock exposure extending westward from
the northern part of Portage Lake (12+OOE to 4+OOE and 9+OOS to 11+OOS).
Here the volcanics are well foliated and, at many locations, have been
completely altered into chlorite and chlorite-sericite schist. These
schists commonly exhibit lensy banding which suggests a tuffaceous
origin. Minor carbonate and quartz seaming also generally occurs
parallel to the foliation. Crenulated folding of the foliation is
evident at some locations. A north-south fault displacement was noted
at one such location (5+OOE, 9+25S).
A notable exception to the generally well foliated character of
this zone is exhibited by the volcanics exposed on a knobby dome-like
hill between lines 5+OOW and 8+OOW just north of Trench Lake. Here
massive to poorly foliated mafic to intermediate volcanics, across some
300 meters of section have, for some reason, resisted the stresses which
so strongly deformed the rocks to the east.
West of Contact Lake, and in the areas between lines 4+OOE to 4+OOW
and 8+OOW to 14+OOW, thick glacial overburden covers the bedrock. This
section, as a whole, is characterized by flat to low topographic relief,
which is typical of erosional features that occur over broad shear sys
tems. This topographic feature, in conjunction with the foliated to
schistose volcanics, exposed south of the main fault line, suggests that
the Paint Lake Fault is not limited to a single horizon. Rather varying
amounts of displacement appear to have occurred at several locations
17
across some 300 meters of section south of the main fault line. Such
subsidiary fault systems are generally considered to be excellent poten
tial hosts for gold enrichment along this belt. For this reason, thi's
section of the property should be seriously considered for additional
exploration.
The area which lies between the co-ordinates 9+OOS to 11+OOS and
4+OOE to 9+OOE, and 11+OOS and 12+OOS on line 2+OOE, is particularly
amenable to surface exploration by mechanical stripping. Nearly all
of the outcrops in this area contain heavy rooty moss cover which
severely limits the scope of rock examination. Therefore, it is quite
possible that mineralized locations of interest, such as quartz and
quartz carbonate veins, could easily have been missed during the present
survey. The abundance of chloritization, sericitization, carbonate
seaming and thin quart lenses, which were observed, suggests that a
favourable environment for gold does exist in this area.
A second zone of interest lies between lines 16+OOE and 26+OOE
close to tie line 11+OS. In this area, the generally well foliated to
schistose volcanics are exposed only near the volcanic-metaconglomerate
contact. Deep overburden covers the area south from the Paint Lake
Fault to within 100 meters of the volcanic-metaconglomerate contact.
Of particular interest is a strong east northeast striking strong hori
zontal loop electromagnetic (EM) conductor (Dome Exploration 1980),
which cuts diagonally through a break in s long narrow east-west
striking zone of high magnetic relief. This geophysical feature sug
gests that a conductive horizon follows a structural break (fault?) at
an acute angle across the normal east-west strike of the stratigraphy.
The combination of the geophysical characterization with the geological
18
and structural environment makes this location an extremely attractive
target for surface stripping and/or diamond drilling. As nearly as can
be determined from assessment file data, the EM conductor lies within
the "magnetic break" between lines 22+OOE and 24+OOE and crosses tie
line 11+OOS at about 23+50E. The "magnetic ridge" apparently lies
within the volcanics some 50 to 100 meters north of the
volcanic-metaconglomerate contact. A detailed magnetometer and VLF or
horizontal loop survey is required to accurately define, relative to
the present grid, the locations of the above-mentioned electromagnetic
and magnetic features.
Metaconglomerate Unit:
A polymictic metaconglomerate, some 300 meters to 700 meters wide,
extends east-west across the central portion of the property. It is
well exposed in outcrops south and west of Contact Lake and west of
Trench Lake. The main body is a very distinct unit composed of closely
packed and poorly sorted pebble and cobble clasts of many lithologies.
The less competent clasts tend to be well flattened and foliated,
whereas the more competent clasts, such as granitic cobbles, have
retained most of their original form. Near both the south and north
contacts the unit is characterized by finer grained sediments, which
have been extremely flattened and usually altered into lensy banded
schists. At some locations where the composition is mafic, the original
sediment has been completely altered into chlorite schist. This
schistosy suggests that at least some faulting has occurred along or
near both the north and south metaconglomerate-volcanic contacts.
19
Old trenches were observed at several locations within the metacon-
glomerate unit. Quartz carbonate veining occurs in several of these.
The most economically significant presently known quartz carbonate zone
is the gold-bearing section rediscovered in an old trench, within the
metaconglomerate unit, at 15+25S just east of line 5+OOW, (just south
of Trench Lake). This zone is described in detail later in this report.
Several trenches were located within the conglomerate unit north
of Contact Lake. Most of these appear to be old strip trenches which
are now covered with slumped in soil and debris. In one sizeable
blasted trench, on line 13+OOE at 10+75S, sercite and sercite-chlorite
schist, along with minor quartz carbonate veining and seaming, is
exposed along the trench wall. A sample from the quartz vein material
returned trace gold. Quartz carbonate veining also occurs within the
metaconglomerate at two old trench sites at 15+OOS on line 13+OOW and
at 16+OOS on line 14+OOW. A sample from one trench assayed 0.01 oz/ton
gold.
Area South of the Metaconglomerate Unit:
This area covers roughly the south one-third of the property and
includes the section south from the conglomerate to the property bound
ary. The underlying rocks include intricately intergraded mafic to
intermediate flows, minor tuffs and flow breccias, intercalated with
occasional narrow interlayers of felsic f?ows and tuff. Many small
interflow intrusive phases are also irregularly interspersed within the
volcanic sequence. This lithological characterization of this area is
well exhibited across section in the abundant rock outcrops west of
Beaver Lake near the southwest end of the property (Map 1).
20
The intrusives vary from quartz diorite to gabbro in composition,
commonly contain well saussuritized feldspars, and often exhibit saussu
rite seaming and minor quartz veinlets along fractures. At some loca
tions, where the intrusives contact sharply with flow structured
volcanics, they grade from a fine grain fabric to a medium grain fabric
and, at a few locations, to coarse grain fabric away from the contact.
However, at many locations this distinction is unclear. Therefore, it
may be that some units interpreted to be intrusives may in fact be
structureless massive flows. The intrusive units are abundantly exposed
from 13+OOS to 20+OOS along the two lines 2+OOW and 3+OOW.
The majority of the volcanics within this section are composed of
intergrading flows ranging from andesite to dacite in composition, with
the overall average composition trending towards the mafic side. They
occur mainly as weakly banded flows, are generally foliated, and often
exhibit saussurite seaming and clotting parallel to the foliation.
Pillow lavas, which were observed only at a few locations in this
section, are well flattened and exhibit a well foliated lensy banded
surface texture. The more mafic (andesitic?) pillowed flows have com
monly been completely altered into chloritic schist. Minor flow breccia
also occurs at several locations. However, unlike the well preserved
breccias on the north shore of Kingston Island, the breccias south of
the conglomerate unit, are generally well foliated, well flattened and
often sheared into streaky banded structures. Intercalated within the
mafic volcanics are occasional narrow rhyodactic to rhyolitic flows and
tuffs which range from less than one meter to about fifty meters in
thickness. Some of these contain thin (less than 20cm) cherty horizons.
21
There is no clear evidence that any single lithological unit
extends more than a few hundred nleters in distance. Rather, the whole
volcanic sequence is characterized numerous compositional intergrada-
tions both across and along strike.
Three northerly striking diabase dikes cut through the sequence:
a forty meter wide dike along line 25+OOW, a thirty meter wide dike
along the east side of line 20+OOW, and a dike (unknown width) along
line 4+OOW.
A few significant shear zones as well as many minor shears are
evident at various locations in the area. Shearing and associated
schistosy is most pronounced in the central part of the property immedi
ately south of the metaconglomerate-volcanic contact south of Trench
Lake. Here, in a 100 meter wide zone, the volcanics are either well
foliated or altered into schist for a strike distance of at least 1000
meters. Another zone of schistose volcanics follows close to baseline
20+OOS from 12+OOE to 28+OOE. At 20+OOS, 13+75E handstripping exposed
a well foliated mafic flow containing massive saussurite clotting with
crosscutting quartz veining. Quartz carbonate veining up to 20cm thick
was also observed in an old trench which cuts across a small shear at
6+OOW, 21+45S. A sample from the veining returned 0.009 oz/ton in gold.
22
GOLD ENRICHED QUARTZ CARBONATE ZONE AT TRENCH LAKE
(Map 4)
A gold enriched quartz carbonate zone up to forty meters wide is
exposed in old trenches at two locations (4+91W and 3+62W) near the
southeast end of Trench Lake. The trench at 4+91W varies from one to
two meters in depth and from one to two and one half meters in width.
It is about twenty-three meters long (from 15+17S to 15+40S). The north
end of the trench was mucked out to bedrock over a length of nine meters
(from 15+17S to 15+26S). Five meters of this section was blasted for
assay sampling.
It is from this north part of the trench, between 15+21S and 15+25S
that the most encouraging gold values were obtained. This section con
tains many quartz veins ranging from a few centimeters to about ten
centimeters in width. The veins dip nearly vertically parallel to sub-
parallel to the foliation and stratigraphy of a well carbonatized
schistose metaconglomerate host rock. Fine heavily disseminated pyrite
occurs in lense-like stringers and bands adjacent to the quartz veins.
A 30cm wide quartz carbonate vein, containing about 607o quartz and 407o
carbonate, lies at the south edge of the quartz veined zone. Jerry
Bruce, who collected several samples from this zone, reported (verbal
communication) encouraging assay results ranging up to 0.30 oz/ton in
gold. Two representative grab samples, taken by the author, from
blasted rock which contained quartz and pyrite, returned values of 0.034
oz/ton and 0.224 oz/ton in gold, respectively. The section from this
quartz veined zone to the north end of the trench, is composed of com
pletely altered brown weathered carbonatized schist with only a few
23
minor quartz veins. This part of the trench was cleaned off but not
blasted or sampled.
In the south part of the trench, stripping exposed a 25cm wide
quartz carbonate vein in chlorite and chlorite-sericite schistose meta-
conglomerate. A well carbonated outcrop of completely altered, lensy
banded, schistose metaconglomerate across four meters of section was
also exposed by stripping an outcrop some seven meters east of the
central (buried) portion of the main trench. A small pit in a quartz
veined zone was blasted out from this exposure for sampling.
The quartz carbonate zone is also exposed, apparently across its
width, by a set of two old trenches (North Trench and South Trench),
located just east of the southeast corner of Trench Lake. Both trenches
were mucked out and parts of them were blasted for assay samples.
The North Trench, which is about ten meters long, has been blasted
along a steep bedrock slope at the east edge of an open swamp. The
trench exposed a carbonatized chlorite and chlorite-sericite schistose
polymictic metaconglomerate composed of well flattened and foliated
pebble and cobble size clasts. A three meter wide section contains
abundant quartz veining irregularly formed in a complex variety of
knobby clot-like veins, lensy veinlets and seams. Minor local concen
trations of disseminated pyrite occur close to the quartz veins. A grab
sample of the quartz-pyrite rock returned 0.006 oz/ton in gold. Jerry
Bruce also reported (verbal communication) that he received similar low
values in gold from his sampling at this trench.
The South Trench starts five meters south of the North Trench and
extends thirty meters to open outcrop at its south end. This outcrop
is composed of schistose, lensy bands formed by an extremely flattened
24
fine pebble metaconglomerate. Abundant rather lensy quartz veining
occurs near the south end of the trench. At this location a small pit
was blasted into quartz veining which contains associated seams of
pyrite. Four samples from this material, obtained by the author,
assayed 0.006/ton, 0.012 oz/ton, 0.008 oz/ton and 0.017 oz/ton in gold.
About five meters north of the blast pit is a three to four meter wide
section containing 307o quartz in the form of knotty veins and veinlets
which coarsely parallel irregularly folded foliation. Small cross
cutting quartz veinlets (tension fracture fillings) are also exhibited
in this zone. Minor pyrite was observed in places. This section has,
as yet, not been blasted out for assay. A grab sample of the quartz,
taken by the author, returned a value of 0.004 oz/ton in gold.
The remainder of the trench is mainly underlain by variably carbon-
atized chlorite schist and minor chlorite-sericite schist. Well foli
ated and flattened pebble and cobble clasts are clearly recognizable
only across seven meters of section at the north end of the trench.
At other locations the original fabric has been completely obliterated
during the alteration, foliation and recrystalization process.
Quartz carbonate veining and carbonatization is also exposed in
stripped bedrock, east of the trenches, at picket lines 3+50W and 3+OOW.
Except for the above-mentioned exposures, most of the carbonate
zone remains covered under shallow to moderate depth overburden. The
westward extension of the zone from the trench at 4+91W, and the east
ward extension from the line 3+OOW, remains undefined. The width of
zone also remains undetermined except for the one location along the
two trenches at 3+62W and 3+76W. Nothing is known about the strike
25
length of the very encouraging gold-bearing section encountered in the
exposure in the trench at 4+91W.
It is not unreasonable to assume that other significant
gold-bearing locations might underlie the overburden covered area within
this carbonated zone. Mechanical strip trenching would certainly be
the most cost effective method to expose and define such locations in
this area. It certainly could be well utilized to at least determine
the surface limits of the gold mineralized section discovered at the
4+91W trench.
26
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS -
Geological and Structural Aspects
Most of the property area is underlain by a complex easterly trend
ing and nearly vertically dipping sequence of metamorphosed mafic to
intermediated volcanic flows, volcaniclastics and related interflow
intrusives, occasionally intercalated with narrow units of rhyodacitic
to rhyolitic flows and tuffs. This volcanic-intrusive system is inter
rupted by considerable dislocation along the Paint Lake Fault, and by
a 300 meter to 700 meter wide polymictic pebble-cobble metaconglomerate
unit which extends east-west through the center of the property. Sev
eral Proterozoic diabase dikes cut northerly through these Archean
rocks. Offsets of the dikes along the Paint Lake Fault system suggest
that fault movement continued well into the Proterozoic era.
The whole system has been subjected to considerable alteration and
deformation on a regional scale. The volcanic-intrusive units exhibit
pervasive saussuritization of plagioclose feldspars, which suggests that
an abundance of low temperature volatiles occurred during the rock form
ing process. This aspect may have been a significant factor in the
early stages of gold enrichment in the area.
In the less competent structures and compositionally more ductile
rocks, the original texture and fabric has been almost completely obli
terated at many locations. Flow structures in the more mafic volcanics
are flattened, foliated and often altered into mafic schists. Mafic
tuffs, lapilli tuffs, and flow breccias are commonly "blended" into
lenticularly banded schistose units, now essentially undistinguishable
from each other. These commonly exhibit secondary alteration in the
27
form of chloritization, carbonatization and saussurite seaming and clot
ting, often with quartzitic cores in the more sizable clots.
Small dioritic to gabbroic interflow intrusives occur at many loca
tions. Most of these are small, massive, fine to medium grained units
interlayered within the flow structured volcanics. Only rarely do they
grade into coarse grained centers. At many locations there is no clear
distinction between massive coarse flows and finer grained intrusives.
Therefore, some of the units which are mapped as intrusives might
actually be centers of massive flows.
The whole volcanic-intrusive sequence displays considerable and
intricate compositional variations across section. These variations
are related to primary differentiations upon which a complex variety
of secondary compositional changes and alteration have been superim
posed. Fault related stresses and the resulting structural dislocation
and deformation have no doubt played an important role in the secondary
alteration process. These structural dislocations also have provided
conduits for the flow and concentration of silica enriched fluids in
which gold has been entrapped. The quartz-veined, gold-enriched quartz
carbonate shear zone just south of Trench Lake is a good example of this
development.
A major zone of displacement occurs along the Paint Lake Fault sys
tem. From the Namewaminikan River, near the west end of the property,
the fault follows easterly through the. property along a linear topo
graphic low which is covered by a series of swamps and elongated lakes.
Subsidiary subparallel faulting is signified by a zone of well foliated
to schistose and, in part, carbonized volcanics extending as far as 300
meters south of the main fault line. East-west trending shearing and
28
schistosity, of varying intensity, also occurs at many other locations
within the volcanic sequence, suggesting that numerous minor disloca
tions have also occurred throughout the property area. Quartz and
quartz carbonate veining and lensy seaming is commonly associated with
these structures.
Some 200m to 400m south of the Paint Lake Fault line a polymictic
pebble-cobble metaconglomerate, about 300 meters to 700 meters in width,
extends east-west across the property. The main body of this unit is
characterized by variably deformed, closely packed, poorly sorted clasts
of many lithologies. The unit is also characterized by finer grained
extremely flattened and foliated sediments along both the north and
south volcanic contacts. Fault shears which occur along or near these
contacts commonly contain varying amounts of quartz and quartz carbonate
veining and seaming. Quartz carbonate veining also is evident well
within the conglomerate unit at a few locations west of Trench Lake.
Locations of Potential Economic Interest
Four main areas of interest are suggested for further exploration.
The most significant of these is the gold-bearing quartz veined, quartz
carbonate zone exposed in two trenches at the southeast end of Trench
Lake. The second and third areas of interest are underlain by well
foliated to schistose volcanics which lie between the Paint Lake Fault
line to the north and the metaconglomerate unit to the south. One area
is located between lines 4+OOE and 9+OOE and the other is situated
between lines 16+OOE and 26+OOE. Although no substantial quartz zone
was observed in these two areas, quartz carbonate seaming and lesser
thin quartz seaming and lenses were noted in several of the outcrops.
29
It is quite possible that more noteworthy quartz carbonate sections may
exist under the generally shallow overburden, which lends itself well
to bulldozer and/or backhoe stripping. The fourth area lies close to
Baseline 20+OOS between lines 12+OOE and 23+OOE. Along this zone
considerable shearing (minor faulting) is evident in mainly intermediate
volcanics and some poorly exposed rhyodacite and felsic tuff. This zone
is also characterized by rusty pyritic locations, quartz veining,
quartz-carbonate veining and seaming and heavy saussurite clotting with
cross cutting quartz veinlets.
In all the four above areas, mechanical stripping would not only
be a cost effective method to search for gold bearing zones, but it also
could be utilized to delineate the extent of these zones and expose them
for detailed sampling.
For a more informative evaluation, a detailed VLF and magnetometer
survey should first be conducted over these locations, particularly on
the area north of Contact Lake where results from an earlier geophysical
survey, by Dome Exploration, suggests that an underlying EM conductor
follows a structural break.-
A number of other less notable locations of interest such as quartz
veins, quartz carbonate veins (usually but not always associated with
shearing) and concentrations of saussurite clotting with associated
quartz veining were observed and recorded. Old trenches were found at
some of these locations. A prospecting and sampling program might
return sufficiently encouraging results to warrant additional and more
advance exploration in some of these areas.
Fault associated carbonatized volcanics, some of which contain
associated quartz and/or quartz carbonate veining, apparently occur at
30
many locations along the Paint Lake Fault system. From the author's
personal knowledge, three such areas with gold occurrences are noted
here: 1) several locations on the Metalore gold property in Irwin Town
ship; 2) the area just northeast of Bearskin Lake in Walters Township
(several gold-bearing quartz veins, either associated with carbonated
breccia or striking off from a quartz carbonate zone); 3) several loca
tions of gold-bearing quartz veining in quartz carbonated volcanics on
the "Missing Link" prospect in Lapierre Township. A fourth significant
zone should be considered to the gold-bearing quartz carbonate structure
located at the southeast end of Trench Lake on the Caviar Resources
Leduc Township property. All of these lie roughly on strike, and essen
tially within the same lithologic and structural units: along a length
of four townships. All have similar depositional characteristics and
structural relationships. All contain significant gold enrichment (at
least locally).
The point of this observation is to show that the Caviar property
is very favourably situated within a sizeable geological and structural
trend that contains several significant gold occurrences (one on the
property itself). To date, the property has only undergone a cursory
examination consisting mainly of geological mapping and the examination
of a few old trenches. Even so, a very encouraging gold occurrence was
located. Therefore, the property certainly deserves a more complete
examination by a more advanced exploration program.
A suggested exploration program and budget, for this purpose, is
submitted under "Recommendations".
