5. GEOPHYSICAL INSTRUMENTATION

JVX supplied the following geophysical instruments, accessories and software.

5.1 MAGNETOMETER

The Scintrex IGS-2/MP-4 proton precession magnetometer microprocessor-based receiver system was employed to measure the total magnetic field over the survey grids. Measurements were taken along the line at 12.5 meter (50 ft on imperial grids) station intervals. The geophysical measurements, time and position information are recorded in the instrument's solid state memory. A second base magnetometer was used to monitor the diurnal change, the base magnetometer was set to take readings at 10 second Intervals. At the end of each day

Page 13: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

JVX

the correction for the diurnal shift was made automatically by either linking the base station magnetometer to the field magnetometer or by dumping each magnetometer to a IBM compatible computer and running appropriate JVX software for the drift correction.

5.2 IP RECEIVER

The IP survey utilized the Scintrex IPR-11 time domain microprocessor-based receiver. This unit operates on a square wave primary voltage and samples the decay curve at ten gates or slices. The Instrument continuously averages primary voltage and chargeability until convergence takes place. At this point, the averaging process Is stopped. Data are stored Internally In solid-state memory.

5.3 IP TRANSMITTER

The survey engaged the Scintrex TSQ-3/3.0 kW time domain transmitter powered by an 8 hp motor generator. This Instrument is capable of putting out a square wave of 2. 4 or 8 seconds 'on-ofT time. The current output was accurately monitored with a digital multimeter placed in series with the current loop.

Specification sheets for the Scintrex geophysical instrumentation are appended to this report.

5.4 DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM

The survey data were archived, processed and plotted with Geopak Software and tn-house JVX software on a Compaq 286 PC microcomputer using an Epson EX-800 dot matrix printer. This system will run magnetic and IP/Resistivity Geopak contouring profiling and RT1CAD color software packages, and is^also configured to run JVX1 proprietary software, a suite of programmes that were written specifically for spectral processing and to interface with the IPR-11 receiver. At the conclusion of each day's data collection, data resident in the Instruments' memory were transferred, via serial communication link, to the computer - thereby facilitating editing, processing and presentation operations. AU data were archived on floppy disk.

In the Toronto office the IP/Resistivity and Magnetic data were ink-plotted in contour and profile with posted values plan map formats with a Nicolet Zeta drum plotter and color on a Fujitsu dot matrix and/or Tectronlcs Ink-Jet printer plotter interfaced to an IBM compatible microcomputer.

6. SURVEY METHOD AND FIELD PROCEDURES

6. l EXPLORATION TARGET

The exploration target for the geophysical surveys Is gold mineralization and diamond bearing klmberlites. Induced Polarization anomalies will result from disseminated metallic sulphides if they are of sufficient concentration and volume. The resistivity data are useful In mapping

Page 14: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

JVX

lithologic units and zones of alteration, shearing or conductive sulphides, all of which may help define the geological l geophysical character of the area. Total field magnetic data will delineate magnetic units and non magnetic units allowing structural and litologlc interpretations to be made.

6.2 QUANTITIES MEASURED AND SURVEY METHOD [IP/Resistivitvl

The phenomenon of the IP effect which In the time domain can be likened to the voltage relaxation effect of a discharging capacitor, is caused by electrical polarization at the rock or soil interstitial fluid boundary with metallic or clay particles lying within pore spaces. The polarization occurs when a voltage is applied across these boundaries. It can be measured quantitatively by applying a time varying sinusoidal wave (as in the frequency domain measurement) or by an interrupted square wave (as in the time domain measurement). In the time domain the IP effect is manifested by an exponential type decrease In voltage with time.

The direct current apparent resistivity is a measure of the bulk electrical resistivity of the subsurface. Electricity flows in the ground primarily through the ground-waters present in rocks either lying within fractures or pore spaces or both. Silicates which form the bulk of the rock forming minerals are very poor conductors of electricity. Minerals that are good conductors are the sulphide minerals, some oxides and graphite where the current flow is electronic rather than electrolytic.

Measurements are made by applying a current across the ground using two electrodes (current dipole). The current Is in the form of an interrupted square wave with on-off periods of 2 seconds. The primary voltage and IP effect is mapped in an area around the current source using what is essentially a sensitive voltmeter connected to a second electrode pair (potential dipole). The primary voltage determines the apparent resistivity after corrections for transmitter current and array geometry. (See Figure 3).

For any array, the value of resistivity is a true value of subsurface resistivity only if the earth is homogeneous and isotropic. In nature, this is very seldom the case and apparent resistivity is a qualitative result used to locate relative changes in subsurface resistivity only.

The IPR-11 also measures the secondary or transient relaxation voltage during the two second off cycle. Ten slices of the decay curve are measured at semi-logarithmical spaced intervals between 45 and 1590 milliseconds after turn-off. The measured transient voltage when normalized for the width of the slice and the amplitude of the primary voltage yields a measure of the polarizabllity called chargeability in units of millivolts/volt

For a 2 second transmit and receive time the slices of integration are as follows:

Traditionally, the M7 slice 8 (from 690 to 1050 ms after shut-off) is chosen to represent chargeability in pseudosection form. The ten slices, of the decay curve may also follow a different convention where MO - M9 are referred to as Ml - M10. (This convention of Ml - M10 is followed by the Geopak color IP plotting software package).

The spectral parameters M-IP. tau and "c" may be derived from the IPR-11 data with the Soft li software. Johnson (1984) summarises the spectral parameters as follows in section 7.1.1 of this report.

Gold mineralization, one of the surveys targets, does not occur in sufficient quantities to effect either the bulk polarizability or resistivity of the ground. The anomalous IP response will be engendered by the sulphides which are commonly associated with gold deposits.

The resistivity data is useful in mapping lithologic units and geologic structures such as faults and shear zones. For gold exploration it is particularly useful to delineate zones of silicification which is often associated with gold mineralization.

The spectral data has proved useful in differentiating between fine-grained and coarse-grained sulphides or graphite (see section 7.1.1 of this report). Gold is often found associated with sulphides that are fine grained. Experience has shown the M-IP parameter (derived m) is helpful in ranking anomalies in areas of high resistivity, where the apparent chargeability is increased sympathetically. Also in areas of low conductivity, the parameter has proved advantageous In determining which anomalies have sulphide sources or which may be associated with alteration zones.

As the source discrimination capability of the IP measurement (either time or frequency domain) remains somewhat unclear, we might recommend that in areas with geologic control, the IP decay forms be studied for significant and systematic differences. If such differences appear, such may be applied elsewhere in the same geologic environment Our experience has shown time constants (tau) are important interpretation aids in areas of moderate to high resistivities which occur with pyrite in zones of silicification. The MIP parameter is very helpful In analyzing possible sulphide content associated with fine grained sulphides.

The IP/resistivity survey employed the time domain method with the gradient electrode array. The geometry of the gradient array is Illustrated below in figure 3. The electrodes marked CI and C2 comprise the current electrodes. Those marked by a PI and P2 are the potential electrodes. The receiver measures the voltage across adjacent pairs of potential electrodes P1-P2.

The electrodes marked CI and C2 comprise the fixed current electrodes. Those marked by a PI and P2 are the potential electrodes and are moved between the current electrodes on a grid within the following constraints:

x/L remains less than 0.3 d/L remains less than 0.3 a/L remains less than 0.05

The line joining the two potential electrodes must remain parallel to the line joining the current electrodes. A separate and adjoining fixed current electrode set-up is needed if gradient IP/resistivity measurements are to be read outside the current x/L or d/L constraints. The gradient array survey employed a 50m potential electrode separation le. 'a'- spadng and current electrode separation that was determined for IP block. The positions for the fixed current electrode separation are illustrated in Appendix B.

The waveform of the transmitted current is a two second on-off alternating square wave. The IPR-11 measures the voltage (primary voltage) across each potential dipole at an appropriate time after the current begins its on cycle, which approximates a D.C. measurement of voltage, in order to determine the apparent resistivity of the ground.

Page 17: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

JVX

The equation for the apparent resistivity is given by

p, s L2 k74a * V/I

where k = 2/11(1-0)7(2? *(l-D)2)37a) * {( and Z = 2X/L and D ^ 2dXL

For any array, the value of resistivity is a true value of subsurface resistivity only if the earth is homogeneous and isotropic. In nature, this is very seldom the case and apparent resistivity is a qualitative result used to locate relative changes in subsurface resistivity only.

As discussed earlier the IPR-11 also measures the secondary or transient relaxation voltage during the two second off cycle of the current, which is a measure of the polarizability of the ground. Employing the two second cycle time, ten slices of the decay curve are measured at semi-logarithmical spaced intervals starting at 45 milliseconds after current turn-off and ending 1590 milliseconds after turn-off. The measured transient voltage when normalized for the width of the slice and the amplitude of the primary voltage yields a measure of the polarizability called chargeability in units of millivolts/volt.

Chargeability (M) as measured by the IPR-11, is averaged over several periods of the transmitted waveform and normalized for

1. the length of the Integration interval;

2. the steady state voltage and

3. the number of pulses.

Mathematically this is described as:

N^ lOOO/ Vp t, J Vs dtM

whereM = chargeability (mV/V)Vs = secondary voltageVp -s primary steady state voltaget, ^ integration interval fta -t,)t, s time at beginning of integrationtj s time at end of Integration

By adjusting t, and t? the chargeability is sampled at different points of the decay. Figure 4 illustrates the decay waveform with the 10 slices of Integration and table 3. of section 6.2. also list the decay windows measured.

Traditionally, the M7 slice 8 (from 690 to 1050 ms after shut- off) is chosen to represent chargeability In pseudosection form. The ten slices, of the decay curve may also follow a different convention where MO - M9 are referred to as Ml - M10 (This convention of Ml - M1O is followed by the Geopak color IP plotting software package).

The spectral parameters M-IP. tau and "c" may be derived from the IPR-11 data with the Soft II software. The spectral parameters are summarized by Johnson (1984) in section 7.1.1 of this report.

6.4 MAGNETICS METHOD

The magnetic method consists of measuring the magnetic field of the earth as influenced by rock formations having different magnetic properties and configurations. The measured field is the vector sum of primary, induced and remanent magnetic effects. Thus, there are three factors, excluding geometric factors which determine the magnetic field. These are the strength of the earth's magnetic field, the magnetic susceptibilities of the rocks present and their remanent magnetism.

The earth's magnetic field is similar in form to that of a bar magnet The flux lines of the geomagnetic field are vertical at the north and south magnetic poles where the strength is approximately 60.000 nT (or gammas). In the equatorial region, the field is horizontal and its strength Is approximately 30.OOO nT.

Page 19: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

j y x^^^^ M_________The primary geomagnetic field is. for the purposes of normal mineral exploration surveys, constant in space and time. Magnetic field measurements may, however, vary considerably due to short term external magnetic influences. The magnitude of these variations is unpredictable. In the case of sudden magnetic storms, it may reach several hundred nT over a few minutes. It may be necessary therefore, to take continuous readings of the geomagnetic field with a base station magnetometer while the magnetic survey is done.

The intensity of magnetization induced in rocks by the geomagnetic field F is given by:

where:I is the intensity of magnetisation k is the volume magnetic susceptibility H is the magnetic field field intensity

The susceptibilities of rocks are determined primarily by their magnetite content since the It is strongly magnetic and widely distributed.

The remanent magnetization of rocks depends both on their composition and their previous history. Whereas the induced magnetization is nearly always parallel to the direction of the geomagnetic field, the natural remanent magnetization may bear no relation to the present direction and intensity of the earth's field. The remanent magnetization is related to the direction of the earth's field at the time the rocks were last magnetized. Interpretation of most magnetometer surveys is normally done by assuming no remanent magnetic component.

Since the distribution of magnetic minerals (magnetite, phyrrhotite) will, in general, vary with different rock types, the magnetic method is often used to aid in geologic mapping. In gold exploration, the magnetic survey is of particular importance because it may map areas of structural complexity, carbonization, and silicification.

7. DATA PROCESSING AND PRESENTATION

7.1 IP/RESISTIVITY

To allow for the computer processing of the IP data, the raw data stored internally in the IPR-11 system was transferred at the end of a survey day to floppy diskette by the in-field microcomputer and appropriate communications software. The raw data was filed on diskette in ASCII character format using an IBM compatible (MSDOS) microcomputer. Once the data was stored on diskette, a number of processing techniques were employed.

An archive edited data file, in binary format, was created in the field from the raw data file by the operator removing repeat or unacceptable readings and correcting any header errors such as station or line numbers. The concisely labelled and edited data was then dumped to a printer.

Page 20: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

J VX

The spectral parameters M-IP. c. and tau were computed employing the Scintrex Soft ][ software package. This programme compares the raw transient decay curve with a library of curves calculated from known parameters and by least squares fitting selects a best matching curve. A listing of the spectral parameters and a measure of fit with appropriate station and line labels were then generated on a printer. The computation of the spectral parameters was done in the evening.

The Soft H and Geopaq programs generated in-field contours of the M7 slice/apparent resistivity and of M-IP/tau.

Upon completion of the survey IP/Resistivity data and calculated spectral parameters were computer generated and plotted at a scale of 1:5000. This processing was performed for all grids (i.e. Imperial and Metric).

In the Toronto office all data was reviewed and necessary editing performed. In the JVX office the reststivity/M? and M-IP/tau contours and profiles/posted values plan maps were re-plotted in ink on paper employing a Nicolet Zeta drum plotter and an IBM PC 486DX-66 MHz. Color maps were produced with a Fujitsu dot matrix and/or Tecktronics printer plotter, to further facilitate line to line correlation of the various IP and resistivity anomalies.

7.1.1 IP Spectral Analysis

Historically the time domain IP response was simply a measure of the amplitude of the decay curve, usually integrated over a given period of time. Over the last decade, advances have made it possible to measure the decay curve at a number of points, thus allowing the reconstruction of the shape of the curve. By measuring the complete decay curve in the time domain, the spectral characteristics of the IP response may be derived.

Recent studies have shown there is a relationship between the decay form and the texture or grain size of the polarizable minerals, i.e. the IP response is not only a function of the amount of the polarizable material. This could be important when it comes to ranking anomalies of equal amplitude or discriminating between economic and non-economic sources.

IP decay forms are quantified using the Cole-Cole model developed by Pelton Ct al 0978). Pelton was one of the first to use the term Spectral IP. The Cole-Cole model is determined by the resistivity and three spectral parameters m, tan and c. These parameters are interpreted as follows;

m(or M-IP)- Chargeability Amplitude (mV/V). This is related to the volume percent metallic sulphides (although there is no simple quantitative relationship between the two).

tan - Time Constant (sec). A short time constant (e.g. O.O1 to O. s)suggests a fine grained source. A long time constant (e.g. 10 to 100 s) suggests a coarse grained (or interconnected or massive) source.

Page 21: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

JVX

c - Exponent (dimensionless). A high c value (e.g. 0.5) Implies oneuniform polarizable source. A low c value (e.g. O. l) implies a mixture of sources.

Conventional chargeability is a mixture of these spectral parameters and a change in any one parameter will produce a change in the apparent chargeability. In the absence of spectral analysis, such changes are always ascribed to a change in the volume percent metallic sulphides, even though the cause may be a shift from fine to coarse grained material.

In practice, the spectral parameters are used to characterise and priorize IP anomalies which have been picked from the pseudosectlons of conventional single slice (or average) chargeability. In this regard, the chargeability amplitude (M-IP) and the time constant are the most useful. IP anomalies which are similar in all other respects may be separated based on their spectral characteristics.

Spectral parameters are extracted from all measured decay curves by finding a best fit between the measured decay and a suite of master curves. The process yields a fit parameter which is the root mean square difference (expressed as per cent) between the ten values of the measured and best fit master decays. The fit parameter is low (i.e. less than 196) for high quality data of moderate to high amplitude. The fit parameter is high (i.e. greater than 10"J6) for poor quality or low amplitude data.

7.2 ANOMALY SELECTION AND CLASSIFICATION (IP/Resistivity)

Chargeability (M7 slice) and resistivity anomalies have been categorised as strong, moderate, weak and very weak. Areas of high resistivity have been noted with where the peak value occurs. Anomalous signatures are represented on the contour and profile plan maps by anomaly bars that take the following form:

____ strong chargeability high; 20-30 mV/V and well defined

____ moderate chargeability high: 10-20 mV/V and well defined

____ weak chargeability high; 5-10 mV/V and well defined

..... very weak chargeability high; < 5 mV/V and porty defined

X X X X X very weak anomaly may be caused by overburden (changes in resistivity are mirrored in chargeabilitles)

Areas of high resistivity may be marked by arrows on top of the resistivity representing the peak of the anomaly.

Page 22: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

If a given IP anomaly has a resolvable peak then the peak value is Indicated by the above notation. The location of the notation with respect to the anomaly bar represents the interpreted centre of the source body.

In addition to the IP/Resistivity notation, the computed spectral M-IP of the peak response is also indicated. A third diagnostic parameter, the time constant, tetu, is indicated after the M-IP value by an H(igh), M(edium). or L(ow). High indicates an average tau between 1O and 10O sec. Medium between 0.3 and 3.0 sec. and Low between .01 and O. l sec.

Both the IP/ Resistivity and spectral notations are marked on the compilation/anomaly plates. IP anomalies showing line to line correlation have been grouped into anomalous zones and labelled on the compilation map by an identifying letter.

7.3 MAGNETICS

To allow for the computer processing of the Magnetic data, the data resident in the IGS-2/MP-4 system's memory was transferred via a serial communication link to the Compaq 286 computer - thereby facilitating editing, processing and presentation operations. AU data was archived on floppy disk.

In the Toronto office all data was reviewed and necessary editing performed. The corrected data was ink-plotted in plan map format as contour and profiles with posted values on a Nicolet Zeta drum plotter and in color with a Fujitsu dot matrix and/or Tecktronics printer plotter, interfaced to an IBM PC 486DX-66MHz microcomputer.

Contoured and profiles with posted values, plan maps of the corrected data were computer generated and fine-drafted on mylar at the Toronto office, at a scale of 1:5000 with appropriate contour intervals and profile scales.

A list of all maps produced can be found in appendix D.

The ACAD drawing files of all geophysical plates and a complete data set including all the field measurements made and any calculated products is available, on floppy disk or printed listing, upon request from JVX Ltd. on a time and material basis.

7.4 MAGNETICS ANOMALY SELECTION AND CLASSIFICATION

The total field magnetic data have been studied for lateral changes of the strength of the magnetic field. The representative contours have been chosen and Included as part of the compilation maps, expressing the physical boundaries that are thought to be related to local geology and/or lithology.

Assuming the background level of 58000 riT. the values above are to be considered local magnetic highs and values below the base level, as magnetic lows.

8.DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

8.1 INTRODUCTION

The gradient IP/Resistivity. Magnetics surveys conducted on the Diamond Lake Extension are of uniform high quality. The data show interesting variations over the entire survey area.

The interpretation is based on general geophysical criteria and on results of similar surveys carried out by JVX previously.

The criteria applied to the IP/Resistivity data set as bases for interpretation are as follows:

l/ All chargeability responses are picked, classified andlocated on the grid map.

2/ Every line is studied for lateral apparent resistivityvariations. The high resistivity areas are marked on the grid map.

3/ The peaks of resistivity highs on adjacent lines arejoined where continuity of zones is likely.

4/ The chargeability anomalies are studied inconjunction with resistivity responses and are combined into zones of high chargeability.

5/ A moderate strength chargeability anomaly associatedwith a sharp narrow resistivity high is considered to be afavourable exploration target for gold.

6/ The chargeability anomalies are rated further bystudying the associated spectral parameters. Their values are marked beside each anomalous chargeability bar on the grid map. The IP responses with high M-IP values and short time constants are thought to be the most interesting. IP anomalies associated with resistivity lows and good MIP values with short time constants must also be carefully evaluated.

Page 24: McvrrnE TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, - Ontario

J VX le - ———————————————In summary the highest priority exploration targets for gold are characterized as being of medium chargeability amplitude. In areas of lateral change of apparent resistivities, with high values of M-IP and very short time constants (see Case History VII). An area of low magnetic relief is prefered.

Figure 5 - Example of two strong chargeability anomalies with different Spectral signatures. Note: Gold is with the short time constant response.

The geological model for this ideal geophysical response is a volume of fine-grained disseminated metallic sulphides with an associated concentration of gold. The target is on the edge of or related to an area of silicification. The target may also be in a hydrothermal alteration system with an associated resistivity low but the IP response has a good associated MIP with a short time constant.

High apparent resistivity zones as picked from the pseudosections are considered as possible areas of silicification. IP responses (which are not accompanied by a resistivity low) are probably the result of disseminated metallic sulphides. This conclusion may be supported by the calculated time constant, as short time constants are often diagnostic of disseminated (as opposed to massive or coarse-grained) sulphides. IP anomalies with short time constants have, however, a depressed response in the traditional eighth slice. This is overcome by looking at the spectral parameter MI-P. which is a more honest measure of the volume percent metallic sulphides. In other words, a modest IP anomaly in M7 should be upgraded if MI-P values are high.

A brief description of the anomalous zones follows. The discussion is based on information which has been entered on the compilation map. The targets of interest have been shown on these maps with priority label IP (low priority). MP (medium priority). HP (high priority).

8.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE GEOPHYSICAL RESPONSES

17MHla Is a moderate magnetic response ( SOOnT ) correlating with low to moderate resistivities and a chargeability low. A series of IP anomalies labelled IPlb. IPlb*, IPb". and IPb~ occur on the east flank of magnetic high MH-la and MH-lb. The anomalies have an associated resistivity low which indicates the IP sources are a linked sulphide/graphite.

Recommendation: Evaluate MHla for a kimberlite source.

MH Ib is a moderate magnetic response ( SOOnT ) the west of which correlates with a resistivity low

Recommendation: Evaluate the western side of MH Ib for a kimberlite source which should correlate with a resistivity low.

MH le is a wide area of higher magnetics occuring in the southwestern corner of the grid and correlates with a resistivity high. IP le is a one line response which indicates some minor sulhides may be associated with the magnetic response. For eample if the magnetic source is a diabase dike it is not uncommon to have some sulphides associated with the dike.

MHld. MHle and MHlf is a series of weak magnetic anomalies occuring on the eastern side of the grid. The anomalies generally have higher resistivities with it Also IP anomaly IPle is strong enough to warrant investigation.

Recommendation: Evaluate IP- le. The magnetic anomalies do not appear to be caused by kimberlite.

INSTRUMENT SPECIFICATION SHEETS

IPR-11 Broadband Time Domain IP Receiver

The microprocessor-based IPR-11 is the heart of a highly efficient system for measuring, recording and processing spectral IP data. More features than any remotely similar instrument will help you enhance signal/noise, reduce errors and improve data interpretation. On top of all this, tests have shown that survey time may be cut in half, compared with the instrument you may now be using.

The IPR-11 Broadband Time Domain IP Receiver is principally used in electrical (EIP) and magnetic (MIP) induced polari zation surveys for disseminated base metal occurrences such as porphyry cop per jn acidic intrusives and lead-zinc

deposits in carbonate rocks. In addition, this receiver is used in geodectrical sur veying for deep groundwater or geother mal resources. For these latter targets, the induced polarization measurements may be as useful as the high accuracy resistivity results since it often happens that geological materials have IP contrasts when resistivity contrasts are absent. A third application of the IPR-11 is in induced polarization research projects such as the study of physical properties of rocks.

Due to its integrated, microprocessor- based design, the IPR-11 provides a large amount of induced polarization transient curve shape information from a remark ably compact, reliable and flexible format. Data from up to six potential dipotes can be measured simultaneously and

Operator using the IPR-11

recorded in solid-state memory. Then, the IPR-11 outputs data as: 1) visual digital display. 2) digital printer profile or pseudo- section plots. 3) digital printer listing.4) a cassette tape or floppy disk record.5) to a microcomputer or 6) to a modem unit for transmission by telephone. Using software available from Scintrex, all spect ral IP and EM coupling parameters can be calculated on a microcomputer.

The IPR-11 is designed for use with the Scintrex line of transmitters, primarily the TSQ series of current and waveform stabilized models. Scintrex has been active in induced polarization research, development, manufacture, consulting and surveying for over thirty years and offers a full range of time and frequency domain instrumentation as well as all accessories necessary for IP surveying.

TSQ-33000 W

Time and Frequency Domain IP and Resistivity Transmitter

Function

The TSQ-3 is a multi-frequency, square wave transmitter suitable for induced polarization and resistivity measurements in either the time or frequency domain. The unit is powered by a separate motor- generator.

The favourable power/weight ratio and compact design of this system make it portable and highly versatile for use with a wide variety of electrode arrays. The medium range power rating is sufficient for use under most geophysical condi tions.

The TSQ-3 has been designed primariry for use with the Scirrtrex Time Domain and Frequency Domain Receivers, for combined induced polarization and resis tivity measurements, although it is compat ible with most standard tame domain and frequency domain receivers. It is also compatible with the Stintrex Commutated DC Resistivity Receivers for resistivity surveying. The TSQ-3 may also be used as a very low frequency electromagnetic transmitter.

Basically the transmitter functions as follows. The motor turns the generator (alternator) which produces 800 Hz. three phase, 230V AC. This energy is trans formed upwards according to a front panel voltage setting by a large transformer housed in the TSQ-3. The resulting AC is then rectified in a rectifier bridge. Commutator switches then control the DC voltage output according to the wave form and frequency selected. Excellent output current stability is ensured by a unique, highly efficient technique based on control of the phase angle of the three phase input power.

Features

Current outputs up to 10 amperes, voltage outputs up to 1500 volts, maximum power 3000 VA.

Solid state design for both power switch ing and electronic timing control circuits.

Circuit boards are removable for easy servicing.

Switch selectable wave forms: square wave continuous for frequency domain and square wave interrupted with auto matic polarity change for time domain.

Switch selectable frequencies and pulse times.

Overload, underload and thermal protec tion for maximum safety.

Digital readout of output current

Programmer is crystal controlled for very high stability.

Low loss, solid state output current regulation overbroad range of toad and input votage variations.

Rectifier circuit is protected against transients.

Excellent power/weight ratio and efficiency.

Designed for field portability; motor-gene rator is installed on a convenient frame and is easily man-portable. The trans mitter is housed in an aluminum case.

The motor-generator consists of a reliable Briggs and Stratton four stroke engine coupled to a brushless permanent magnet alternator.

New motor-generator design eliminates need for time domain dummy load.

Time domain spectral IP results from three gold deposits in northern Saskatchewan

ABSTRACTTime domain spectral Induced Polarization (IP) data from

the Tower. Jojay and Laurel Lake gold deposits in northern Saskatchewan are presented. The resistivity data shows both resistivity lows (due to fault, shear or alteration zones} and resistivity highs (due to silicification) in the area of the deposits. The high resistivity zones suppress and distort coincident IP responses, calling for high quality surveys and special care in interpreting the IP data.

Electromagnetic methods are not effective in locating the deposits. This is due, in part, to masking by conductive cover. The Jojay Lake deposit has a strong magnetic response. A more indirect magnetic association is seen for the Tower Lake deposit. The Laurel Lake deposit has no magnetic signature. Magnetic data are useful in defining structure in all cases.

All three deposits are outlined in the IP survey results. IP anomaly amplitudes from the pole-dipole array are from two times (Tower and Laurel Lake} to six times (Jojay Lake) back ground values. Gradient array IP anomalies are of less ampli tude. The spectral time constant is short for the Tower and Laurel Lake deposits and long f or the Jojay deposit. This im plies that the metallic sulphides in the Jojay deposit are more interconnected than those of the other two deposits.

INTRODUCTIONInduced polarization/ resistivity surveys are commonly used

in gold exploration programs in the Canadian shield because the IP method is effective in detecting disseminated metallic sul phides which are often found associated with gold. Other com mon geophysical survey methods such as magnetics, VLF and EM are not generally capable of direct detection of dissemi nated sulphides.

Since the introduction of the IP method in the 1950s, it has undergone continuous improvement. The most recent improve ment is the development of time domain receivers which sam ple the full decay and record it in digital form. This results in a more complete measurement of the response which permits analysis and enhancement of data quality and the derivation of anomaly parameters which characterize the measured decay. This extension of conventional time domain IP methods is called spectral IP, a term first introduced by Pelton et al. working in the frequency domain*1). Spectral IP surveys are attractive because they allow the possibility of discriminating between IP responses which have similar amplitudes but are due to dissimi lar geologic targets. The discrimination can be important in the selection of IP anomalies for follow-up.

Time domain spectral IP survey results are presented over three known gold deposits in northern Saskatchewan—Tower Lake, Jojay Lake and Laurel Lake. The surveys were initiated and supported by Cameco—A Canadian Mining and Energy Corporation (formerly the Saskatchewan Mining and Develop ment Corporation—SMDQ and were carried out by JVX Limit ed using the Scintrex 1PR-11 receiver and attendant spectral analysis software.

Time Domain Spectral IPIn conventional time domain IP/resistivity surveys, the

chargeability is recorded as an average of the residual voltage after shut-off of an interrupted square wave. In spectral IP, the receiver samples the decay at a number of time periods, thus defining the shape of the decay. Each measured decay can then be analyzed for curve shape characteristics using simple models. The model most commonly used is the Cole-Cole model"), originally developed by Pelton et al. for the analysis of frequency domain IP data. This model is defined by four parameters. They are:1. R—the resistivity in ohm-meters2. m—the chargeability amplitude in mV/V3. tau—the time constant in seconds4. c—the exponent (dimensionless).

These parameters are independent physical properties of the subsurface. Conventional chargeability (or per cent frequency effect or phase if working in the frequency domain) is a mix-

lure of the more fundamental properties m, tau and c.In practice a suite of master decay curves is built up assum

ing a range of values of c and tauO. Measured decays are com pared to these curves. The best agreement yields the spectral parameters m, tau and c for each dipole. As with resistivity and conventional IP. the spectral parameters are presented using normal pscudosection plotting conventions.

The derived spectral parameters are used to supplement the conventional IP/resistivity survey results. Pseudosections of ap parent resistivity and one chargeability slice are often the basic presentation from profile type surveys. Ten slices are recorded by the IPR-11 receiver. The eighth slice located between 690 and 1050 ms after shut-off is commonly plotted. IP anomalies are picked from the chargeability pseudosections. The spectral parameters are also presented in pscudosection form so that they may be correlated with the IP anomalies.

The parameters m and tau are the most useful in separating anomalies with similar resistivity and chargeability characteris tics. The chargeability amplitude m is related to the volume per cent metallic sulphides (although there is no convenient quan-

titative relationship between m and the volume per cent polariz- able material). The time constant is related to grain size and commonly varies from 0.01 to over 100 s. Finely disseminated sulphides should give a short time constant. Interconnected or more massive sulphides should give a long time constant. The exponent c is a measure of the uniformity of grain size and varies from 0.1 to 0.S. A c value of 0.5 suggests a single polarizable source. Smaller c values imply a mixture of sources. These con cepts from Pelton et a/.o are the starting point for interpret ing spectral IP data. They will be refined and improved as more experience with the spectral IP method is gained.

IP/resistivity anomalies are seen in the pseudosections of ap parent resistivity and chargeability. The time constants are generally short (i.e. 0.01 to 0.1 s) for the anomaly to the left and long (i.e. 10 to 100 s) for the anomaly to the right. Both anomalies have been drilled. The anomaly showing the short time constants was confirmed to be caused by fine grain dis seminated sulphides. The long time constant anomaly was found to be caused by more coarse-grained sulphides. Economic gold was found in association with the fine grained sulphides whereas only small amounts of gold were found in the area of the long time constant IP anomaly.

Time domain spectral IP is beneficial for reasons additional to that of source discrimination. The analysis provides a measurement of data quality which can be used by the opera tor to improve survey procedures. The analysis can be used to separate signal from instrument or geologic noise. In very resis tive areas, for example, potential electrode cable effects may produce false chargeability highs, particularly at early times. Inductive coupling effects may give problems in conductive areas. Spectral IP allows the identification and separation of decays which are of interest from those which are noise related.

Regional Setting of the Tower Lake, Jojay Lake and Laurel Lake Deposits

Figure 2 shows the location of the deposits relative to the regional geology of northeastern Saskatchewan*4). The area is underlain by Proterozoic metasediments. meiavolcanics and in- trusives of the La Ronge Domain. Paleozoic sediments lie to the south and west and the Athabasca Basin is located to the northwest.

roundings in the Central Metavolcanic Belt of the La Ronge Domain, particularly in the Sulphide Lake, Star Lake and Waddy-Tower Lakes areas. The Jojay Lake deposit is located approximately 8 km north of the Star Lake mine. Most gold deposits in this area are structurally controlled and are hosted by quartz veins. Controlling structures may be shear zones (Jojay Lake), or late regional fault structures such as the Byers Lake fault (Tower Lake)W. Another major auriferous area is located in the Flin Flon-Amisk Lake area in the Flin Flon Domain. Gold occurences (e.g. Laurel Lake) in the West Chan nel of Amislc Lake are characterized by quartz-vein systems sur- rounded by extensive alteration haloes of carbonate, sericite and silica"'.

Tower Lake ProjectThe Tower Lake Project is a gold exploration joint ven

ture operated by Golden Rule Resources Ltd. in partnership with Goldsil Resources Ltd. and Camcco. The project is located approximately 170 km northeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. Geologic reserves of the Tower East deposit are 1.36 million tonnes at 3.4 g/tonne gold (l .5 million short tons at O. l oz/ton). Definition diamond drilling of the deposit is currently in progress.

GeologyThe project is located within the Central Volcanic Belt of

the La Ronge Domain which hosts most of the major gold occurrences in the La Ronge area. The Tower East deposit is hosted by quartz diorite of the Brindson Lake pluton and is associated with the regional Byers fault system. Gold is associ-

ated with pyrite which occurs most commonly as pervasive fine grained disseminations and stringers^). An increase in gold concentration with an increase in pyrrhotite has been noted in some cases.

Gold content varies directly with pyrite concentration and occurs as fine-grained inclusions in pyrite with a few grains inter- grown with calciie/quartz microveining. Pyrite concentrationsvary between Wo and 5?i in the mineralized zone. The pyrite mineralization occurs as Tine-grained disseminations and stringers as well as clusters of coarse-grained euhedral crystals. The occurcnce of minor amounts of fine-grained chalcopyrite typically marks areas of higher grade gold values (visible gold). The mineralized zones are 10 m to 40 m wide and are covered with a variable thickness of sandy boulder till and minor glacio lacustrine clay.

Geophysical SettingThe Tower Lake deposit is outlined on the contoured mag

netic map in Figure 3. The minimum contour interval is 100 nT. The Byers fault which marks the contact between mafic volcanics to the north and quartz diorite intrusive rocks to the south is seen as a break in the isomagnetic contours. IP/resistiv ity surveys were conducted over lines O, l -i- 00 W and 2 + 00 W. The pole-dipole array with six dipoles and a dipole spacing of 25 m was used.

The geophysical signature of the deposit is that of a weak

IP response. There is no direct electromagnetic response associ ated with the deposit. The deposit has an indirect magnetic response.

IP Survey ResultsThe IP/resistivity results for line l + 00 W are shown in con

toured pseudosection form in Figure 4. South of station O -i- 25 S bedrock responses are masked by conductive lake sedi ments. Mineralization in the Pat. A, and B zones correlate to a broad low resistivity zone of apparent resistivities less than 3000 ohm-m and anomalous M7 chargeabilities in three zones from 0 + 25 N to 2 + OON (5.5 to 6.5 mV/V with background values of l to 4 mV/V). A local resistivity high at stations l * 25. N to l + 50 N may indicate an area of silicification. The Byers fault is interpreted at 2 + 25 N and is characterized by a 125 m wide zone of low chargeabilities.

The lower two pseudosections show the spectral time con stant and chargeability amplitude. Plot positions with no data are where the IP decay has been judged too noisy for reliable determination of spectral parameters. As most of the spectral data has been plotted, the IP survey is judged tO be of good quality.

The time constant is consistently short in the area of the deposit indicating a fine-grained texture. The chargeability am plitude may be used to locate areas of highest metallic sulphide concentrations. The pseudosections show three chargeability anomalies. These correspond to the three mineralized zones when allowance is made for a shift of approximately one dipole spacing between the chargeability high and the causative body, i.e. the IP anomaly is located one dipole spacing before the tar get. This positional shift may be explained by the model results shown in Figure 5. Theoretical apparent resistivities and charge abilities for a pole-dipole array passing over both a conductive- chargeable and a resistive-chargeable body are shown. These results have been calculated by the computer program IPND1KE from Urquhart Dvorak Ltd. The algorithm is from Hanneson'**.

J lies are shifted and distorted and of less relative amplitude. This' result applies to the Tower Lake data. The gold and dissemin-

— f ated sulphides are associated with more resistive zones of silicifi cation. The higher resistivities are probably due to lower porosities. This behaviour is important when interpreting pole- dipole IP survey results for gold in a resistive environment.

Jojay Lake ProjectThe Jojay Lake Project is a gold exploration joint venture

operated by Cameco in partnership with Claude Resources Ltd. ~ and Shore Gold Fund Inc. The Jojay deposit is located approxi

mately 150 km northeast of La Ronge. Saskatchewan. The deposit is within the Central Volcanic Bell of the La Ronge Domain. Geologic reserves of the Jojay deposit were 284 100

tonnes at 9.1 g/tonne gold (313 200 short tons at 0.26 oz/ton) following the winter 1987 program. The deposit is open below a depth of 2SO m and is currently being considered for devel opment.

GeologyThe deposit is hosted by intermediate to mafic volcanics close

to the fault contact with clastic metasediments. Pyrrhotite, pyrite, galena, sphaerite and quartz occur in a quartz-carbonate vein stockwork which is structurally controlled*7). Metallic sul phides range from O to 15V* and average 21* of the rock volume. The deposit is 0.5 m to 10 m wide and is covered by O to 10 m of sandy boulder till.

Geophysical SettingThe deposit is outlined on the contoured magnetic map in

Figure 6. The minimum contour interval is 25 nT. The Gnat Lake fault is seen as a break in the isomagnetic contours. The Jojay Lake fault marks the contact between clastic metasedi ments to the west and mafic to intermediate volcanics to the east.

IP/resistivity surveys were carried out using both gradient (dipole spacing ^ 25 m) and pole-dipole (six dipoles with a di pole spacing of 25 m) arrays. As gradient surveys are often two to three times less expensive than pole-dipole surveys, they are sometimes initially used to establish the regional IP/resistivity character of an area. Profile surveys are then carried out to pro vide detail in areas of interest.

The geophysical signature of the deposit is a strong mag netic anomaly together with a strong IP response. Electromag netic surveys are dominated by surficial conductivity.

in Figure 7. The mineralized zones are indicated. The resistivi ties are low (2000 to 5000 ohm-m) in the area of the Jojay fault relative to the volcanics to the east which have resistivities greater than 20 000 ohm-m. The resistivities to the west of the Jojay fault are of the same order as those seen in the area of the fault. This may be due to the overburden cover which consists of swamp and muskeg.

The M7 chargeability pseudosection is dominated by a strong response which correlates with the mineralized area. IP response amplitudes are from 25 to 35 mV/V with background values of 5 mV/V. The IP anomaly does not separate the mineralized zones. This is expected given that the array spacing is twice their separation. The mineralized zone near station 2 + 00 W is of limited extent and does not significantly add to the total reserves of the deposit. As metallic sulphides are limited, there is no coin cident IP/resistivity response.

The long time constant values imply coarse-grained sul phides. This may be an oversimplification as it is not clearly supported by the geology. The change in time constants from those seen at Tower Lake does, however, suggest some geolog ical difference, although a better explanation for the difference is lacking. Physical property studies in both areas should give a basis on which to better interpret the spectral IP data.

The chargeability amplitude data suggests that there may be significant concentrations of metallic sulphides to the west of the Jojay fault. The spectral c value is included for com pleteness. In theory, a high c value suggests a single target whereas a low c value suggests that a mixture of polarizable sources is present.

The pole-dipole and gradient data are presented as contour plan maps in Figure 8. Both dalasets show a low resistivity zone located west of a strong chargeability anomaly over the deposit. The gradient array appears to have provided a reliable picture of the regional resistivity and IP character. The pole-dipole results, however, give better resolution and a larger relative anomaly amplitude for the IP response which corresponds to the deposit.

Spectral parameters may also be derived from the gradient array data. The results are usually less reliable because the array is less focussed on one polarizable source. This is observed in

this case where the average c value for line 12 H- 50 S is 0.19 for the gradient array compared to 0.26 for the pole-dipole array. The time constants for the two arrays are in total disagreement east of the Jojay fault. The gradient array time constant is short (.01 to l s) whereas the pole-dipole array time constant is long (30 to 100 s). The pole-dipole time constants are more reliable in view of the higher c values.

Laurel Lake ProjectThe Laurel Lake deposit is part of the Amisk Lake project

operated by Cameco in partnership with Husky Oil. The deposit is situated on Missi Island within Amisk Lake approximately 25 km southwest of Flin Flon. Manitoba. It is located within the Amisk Group volcanics which hosts all of the major base metal deposits in the Flin Flon area. Geologic reserves of the Laurel Lake deposit are 255 800 tonnes at 15.1 g/tonne gold and 75.7 g/tonne silver (281 970 short tons at 0.44 oz/ton Au and 2.21 oz/ton Ag) (press release, January 27, 1988). Under ground exploration of the deposit started in the spring of 1988 as part of an economic feasibility study.

GeologyThe deposit is hosted by quartz-feldspar porphyry, which

forms part of an interpreted intrusive-flow complex. The miner alization appears to be synvolcanic in origin. Metallic minerals include pyrite, tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and gale na, which occur as disseminations and veins in a broad sericite alteration zone*.

Gold occurs as fine specks of free gold in and along inter granular boundaries between sulphide grains. The sulphides occur as veins, stockworks, disseminations and irregular masses. Mineralization occurs in discrete sub-zones which are distin guishable by their dominant ancillary sulphide species. Sulphide

concentrations vary from 10* to 30* of rock volume in a zone l m to 2 m wide. The overburden cover varies from O to 20 m in thickness and consists of glaciolacustrine clay and boulder till.

Geophysical SettingThe outline of the deposit is shown on the contoured mag

netic map in Figure 9. This outline is a much simplified view of what is a complex network of mineralized veins. The area was surveyed with the gradient array. Selected lines were also surveyed using the pole-dipole array. Electomagnetic and mag netic surveys have not been effective in outlining mineraliza tion although they have been useful for regional mapping. The most useful survey for outlining the deposit directly has been IP/resistivity.

IP Survey ResultsThe spectral IP/resistivity results for line l * 25 W are

presented in Figure 10. The mineralized zone correlates with a well-defined chargeability high with M7 anomaly amplitudes of 6 to 9 mV/V with background values of 3 to 4 mV/V. A resistivity low with apparent resistivities from 300 to 1000 ohm-m from stations l ̂ 25 S to 0175 N may outline the zone of alteration which contains the deposit. The chargeability high which maps the deposit coincides with higher resistivities. This could be interpreted as a region of silicification. The shape and location of the IP/resistivity anomalies are consistent with the model results shown in the lower half of Figure S. The IP/resistivity anomaly to the north of the deposit has been drilled and an additional vein system has been discovered.

The time constant is uniformly short over the entire survey line. No significant difference in the texture of the polarizable material has been detected and the deposit appears to be associ ated with fine-grained material. The IP dataset is of good quality as most of the spectral results have been plotted. The charge ability amplitude data defines the target zone somewhat better than the M7 results. The chargeability amplitude anomaly is four to five times background.

Gradient surveys were conducted in two directions. The chargeability high seen in the pole-dipole survey which corre lates with the deposit was also noted in the gradient IP data. The mineralized zones can be traced out using the gradient array although individual anomalies are less distinct.

ConclusionsTime domain spectral IP/resistivity surveys were conducted

over three known gold deposits in northern Saskatchewan. In all cases the deposits were seen as chargeability highs. IP anomaly amplitudes varied from weak (Tower Lake), through moderate (Laurel Lake) to strong (Jojay Lake). The spectral data (time constant and chargeability amplitude) were most use ful in the Tower Lake area where the conventional IP response was weak. This illustrates the usefulness of the spectral IP method in providing more diagnostic and better quality IP data

needed to better select anomalies for follow-up. In all cases, the interpretation of the spectral parameters would benefit from access to more extensive model results and physical property studies.

The apparent resistivity data mapped the faults and altera tion zones as resistivity lows. Local resistivity highs (often within the resistivity lows) may indicate areas of silicification and. hence, areas more promising for gold mineralization. High resistivities may also be responsible for a reduction in the am plitude and a distortion of IP anomalies. The intrepretation of pole-dipole IP data must make allowance for these effects.

The gradient array IP surveys gave somewhat mixed results. They have proved to be a useful method for establishing the regional character of an area and locating areas for follow- up.

There is no consistent magnetic signature to the deposits. Magnetic anomalies in the Jojay area are probably due to high concentrations of pyrrhotite. This association is not as appar ent in the Tower Lake area and is absent in the Laurel Lake area. Electromagnetic methods are not useful for direct detec tion because the deposits are associated with disseminated sul phides which are normally only detectable using IP methods. The EM survey results are also strongly influenced by varia tions in conductive overburden.
