SUMMARY

Riocanex optioned the SNI Property of 41 mining claims

from Superior Northwest Inc. on March l, 1979. The property

is located in Skead Township about seven miles south of Larder

Lake, Ontario.

Pre-1950 exploration had discovered one principal

gold showing consisting of a 3-foot wide carbonate-quartz vein

enclosed by strongly hydrothermally altered wallrocks. Selected grab samples of the pyritic wallrocks assayed 1.56 oz/ton and

0.9 oz/ton gold. Regional stratigraphic correlations suggested

that volcanic units previously mapped by Hewitt (1951) on the

property might be favourable hosts for large sulphide-associated gold deposits of the Kerr Addison type. Further, the known

mineralization was spatially related to the Lincoln - Nipissing

Fault, a large structural discontinuity also mapped by Hewitt

(1951). This feature could provide favourable structural

conditions for the development of large-scale gold mineralizatior

Furthermore, adjacent to the mineralization were several

untested VLF conductors which potentially could be gold-bearing

shear zones. As overburden is extensive throughout.the

property much of the area had not been thoroughly prospected. Consequently, the basic approach adopted was to use detailed

IP-Resistivity surveying to locate possible large sulphide-

associated gold deposits within the overburden covered areas

which had been left untested by earlier prospectors.

In the summer of 1979 the property was geologically

mapped and prospected in detail. A synthesis of all geological

data and previous magnetic and VLF data was completed. Under

contract to Riocanex, Phoenix Geophysics Ltd. performed a

29.38 km induced polarization and resistivity survey using

electrode spacings of 25 metres and 50 metres. Numerous

moderate to weak anomalies of potential interest were located.

A total of 829.22 m in eight holes (two abandoned) was drilled between August 22 and October 15, 1979. Results were totally

negative as no significant gold assays were obtained. Further

more, the sources of all IP anomalies tested were not sulphides

Rather the anomalous chargeability and lower resistivity

features seem to be related to zones of serpentinization,

shearing, fracturing, veining and talc alteration within

ultramafic intrusives. Drilling proved such ultramafic intrusives were far more extensive than had originally been

suspected. One drill hole (SNI 8) tested for a strike extension

of the previously discovered mineralization. Although this

hole was not sited on an IP anomaly it returned significant

sulphides. However, no gold values were associated with the

sulphides.It is concluded that (1) the known gold showing has

been adequately tested by drilling and has been proven to be

small (2) sufficient IP-Resistivity anomalies were tested to

suggest that any remaining weaker geophysical targets are unlikely to have sulphide-associated gold deposits as their

sources (3) any remaining potential for significant gold

mineralization within the confines of the SNI grid is small.

The option was dropped in January 1980.

Claim L 531555 which adjoins the optioned claims

was staked for Riocanex on May 22, 1979 and was explored at

the same time as the optioned claims. This claim was trans

ferred to Superior Northwest in early 1980 when the option

on the 41 claims was dropped.

C. History:

Superior Northwest holds about 150 claims in the

general Skead Township area, In the summer of 1978 the property

was inspected and sampled by D. E. Clarke, Interest principally

focussed on mineralization exposed in a 10-foot pit on claim

L 396284. Two grab samples of pyritic hydrothermally altered

rock adjacent to a 3-foot wide carbonate-quartz vein assayed

1.56 oz/ton and 0.9 oz/ton gold. Forty claims covering

potentially favourable ground were selected for optioning.

D. Previous Exploration:

Pre-1950

Hewitt (1951,p37) reported briefly on exploration

of parts of the property by Tye-East Exploration Ltd. and

Tyon Gold Mines Ltd.Assessment files contain various articles dating

back to 1922. The most important work was done by Grace Larder Mines (based on fragmentary data in the files of the

Northern Miner) which drilled at least two holes in the vicin

ity of the main showing in 1938 with "disappointing" results.

Post-1950In the early 1970's R. MacGregor carried out various

ground magnetic, VLF and geological mapping surveys over the

property.In 1976 a Dighem airborne electromagnetic survey

was flown for Superior Northwest throughout the Skead Township

area.MacGregor retains complete files on the post-1950

exploration but, unfortunately, no systematic synthesis has

been made for much of the area.

E. Objectives:

The objective of the 1979 exploration program was

the discovery of large sulphide-associated gold deposits by

drill testing targets selected from the results of geological

mapping, VLF, Mag. and IP surveys.

3. EXPLORATION

A. Geological Mapping:

Detailed geological mapping was restricted to that

portion of the property covered by the metric grid cut in May/June 1979. Only minor reconnaissance prospecting was carried out beyond the grid.

Outcrop is sparse and many outcrops require consid

erable stripping. Drawings 03655-1,2 and G3656 (back pockets) are a geological representation developed by synthesis of field geological observations, available geophysical data and drilling results. All rock types were determined on the

basis of hand specimen examination only.

B. Geochemistry:

Soil sample surveys for base metals and nickel were carried out by R. A. MacGregor prior to Riocanex optioning the property. Because of the great extent of thick overburden

the surveys produced results of little value particularly for gold exploration.

During the mapping program outcrops and showings were routinely chip sampled with gold analysis being performed

by fire assay at Swastika Laboratories. Assay results are listed in Appendix I and plotted on Drawings GC 3657-1,2 and

GC 3658 (back pockets).

C. Geophysics:

The Riocanex grid was not covered by magnetic and

VLF surveying as such coverage was available for this area from previous surveys by R. A. MacGregor. VLF and magnetic profiles were, however, measured across each drill hole and are shown on the drill sections attached to the drill logs (back pockets).

29.38 km of induced polarization and resistivity surveying on

the Riocanex grid between May 28 and July 2, 1979. Electrode

spacings of 50 m and 25 m were used. The report by Hallof

(1979) summarizes the results fully.In September 1979 the Ontario Government released

an Input survey which covered all of Skead Township. Numerous

anomalies occur within the SNI option property. Not unexpect edly, there is good correlation between the Input conductors

and the low resistivity zones located in the IP survey.

D. Trenching:

Several old trenches were cleaned out and sampled

with the results shown on Drawings GC 3657-1,2 and GC 3658.

No blasting was performed.

E. Diamond Drilling:

A drilling program designed to test IP-Resistivity

anomalies was commenced on August 22, 1979 and completed on

October 15, 1979. A total of 829.22 m in eight holes was drilled under contract by Philippon Diamond Drilling of Rouyn.

Total contractor costs of $49,623.30 or $59.84 per metre were

incurred. Thick overburden caused the abandonment of two

holes and added significantly to costs as casing could not be

recovered from most holes.

1. Core Handling and Sampling Procedures

Core from all holes was transported to the Kirkland

Lake office and there geologically logged in detail. All

zones showing any signs of alteration or mineralization were

split and sent for gold assay. All core was returned to the

possession of R. A. MacGregor when the option was dropped.

2. Assaying

All assaying was performed at Swastika Laboratories

using standard fire assay procedures. Results are reported

in parts per billion (l oz/ton equals 34,286 ppb). All assays

are listed in Appendix I.

GEOLOGY

A. Regional GeologyThe SNI property covers portion of the upper part

of the Skead Group, a sequence of felsic to intermediate

volcanics and sediments described by Hewitt (1951). The Skead

volcanics and sediments face NNE and dip fairly uniformly

700 -800 NNE. The southern half of the property covers portion

of a regionally extensive zone of mafic to ultramafic intrus-

ives which is broadly conformable with the enclosing volcanics

and sediments. This large ultramafic-mafic intrusive complex

is probable time equivalent to the extensive ultramafic

volcanics of the Larder Lake Group of komatiitic volcanics,

calc-alkalie volcanics and sediments which overlie the Skead

Group.

B. Grid Geology

Most of the property is covered by thick sand over

burden which severely restricts the definition of the geology

and structure. Drilling suggests the bedrock topography is

highly irregular.Acid volcanics exposed throughout the SNI property

include rhyolite, fine-grained felsic tuff, agglomerate, breccia

quartz porphyry and lithic-crystal tuff. Exposures are poor

but it seems that most felsic volcanics are fragmental.

Basic and intermediate volcanics are exposed in

only a few places and are not distinguished from the ultra

mafic units with any great degree of certainty. Hewitt (1951)

who mapped Skead Township shows extensive basic volcanics

throughout the SNI property. Such is not the case as much of

the basic volcanics mapped by Hewitt is indeed altered ultra-

PACE -li.

mafic and mafic intrusives. The basic volcanics of Drawings

G 3655-1,2 and G 3656 include flows, agglomerate/breccia, tuff

and minor sediments. Locally the mafic volcanics are carbon-

atized or altered to talc-chlorite schist.

A complex of mafic and ultramafic intrusive rocks

occupy most of the southern half of the SNI grid and drilling

has indicated that ultramafic rocks extend much further north

than is indicated on Hewitt's 1951 geological map. The bulk

of the ultramafic complex is formed of olivine peridotite

and dunite which appear to form large sills. Dunite is distinctively more magnetic than the peridotite. Medium to

coarse-grained hornblende gabbro forms relatively structureless

masses throughout the mafic-ultramafic complex. No evidence

was found to suggest any of the ultramafic rocks might be extrusive. Within the vicinity of feldspar porphyry and

lamprophyre dykes the ultramafic rocks are altered to greenish grey carbonate-rich rocks which locally contain green fuchsite.

The development of "green carbonate" from the ultramafic rocks

in the vicinity of feldspar porphyry dykes is well displayed

in holes 4 and 5. Drill core exposures indicate that the

ultramafic rocks are highly fractured, locally highly serpent-

inized and altered to carbonate-tremolite-talc. Small local

concentrations of asbestiform cross-fibre were found but no

asbestos mineralization approaching commercial grade was

discovered.

Sediments which are poorly explosed underlie much

of the northern part of the grid. Greywacke, conglomerate

and graphitic argillite are exposed in outcrop. Core from

pre-1950 drilling found in the old core shack indicates the

sediments are highly feldspathic greywackes consisting of

from 60 to 80 percent euhedral to subhedral plagioclase

crystals with the remainder being fine-grained black lithic

fragments. These sediments appear to be derived from a felsic

volcanic provenance and are probably best considered to be

part of the uppermost Skead Group rather than part of the

lowermost Larder Lake Group.

Drawings G 3655-1,2 and G 3656 show a zone of dyke

intrusion extending more or less along the baseline. This

zone extends beyond the SNI property and is prominent on Hewitt 1 !

1951 map. Multiple dykes of reddish grey, fine-grained, biotite

rich lamprophyre or mafic syenite intrude the ultramafic rocks

in a belt extend along the baseline through the main gold

showing. Such dykes are particularly prominent in drill hole

SNI 8 where they invariably contain l to 4 percent disseminated

pyrite.

Younger dykes and mass of leucocratic feldspar

porphyry, syenite, quartZi-syeriite granite and granodiorite

are also emplaced mainly in this central zone of dyke intrusion.

Almost invariably, the larger felsic intrusives are cut by a

network of carbonate-quartz veins and contain l to 2 percent

disseminated pyrite. An unusual white medium-grained rock

exposed in blasted outcrops at L4+10W, 2+OOS has the following composition:

Si02 63.2 FeO 0.36

A1 203 17.5 MnO 0.01

CaO 2.70 Ti02 0.54

MgO 2.89 Pg05 0.02

Na00 9.69 L.O.I. 1.28

K20 O.74

The Na00 content is surprisingly high and the rockM

is tentatively considered to be an albitized syenite or quartz- syenite.

C. Mineralization

The only significant gold mineralization exposed on

the property is in the shallow shaft at 6+25W, 0+10N when a

vertical lenticular carbonate-quartz vein two to three feet

wide occupies a NW-trending fracture through lampophyre. The

host rocks for about 3 feet on either side of the vein are bleached to a light yellowish green rock containing considerable

carbonate, sericite and disseminated pyrite. This pyritic

hostrock, containing 5 to 10 percent pyrite, assays about

l oz/ton gold in selected grab samples. Prior to mapping the

property there was considerable doubt as to the nature of the

host rocks at the main showing. However, it now seems that

about the main showing the general countryrock is altered,

sheared, carbonatized peridotite which is preserved as slices

between numerous parallel lamprophyre and feldspar porphyry

dykes. The lamprophyre or basic syenite is generally a fine grained, weakly porphyritic mafic rock with variable biotite

content ranging up to 30 percent. Biotite forms phenocrysts

in places up to 0.5 cm diameter. As sericitized biotite

phenocrysts are preserved in the hydrothermally altered rocks from the shaft it. is likely the original rocks were lampro

phyre. The mineralization may possibly be restricted to the

sheared margin of one lamprophyre dyke. The shear trends

approximately N40OW and if it were extensively mineralized

some evidence of mineralization should have been found in

drill hole SNI 8. Two old drill casings found during mapping

indicate that two holes have been drilled directly under

the showing. These may be the Grace-Larder Mines' holes which

reportedly produced "disappointing" results.

Minor gold mineralization also occurs in a sheeted quartz vein zone which is well exposed in trenches in pink

granite or quartz syenite at L9+30E, 2+50N. Selected grab

samples assayed as high as 0.06 oz/ton gold but more systematic

sampling produced low results as shown on Drawing GC 3657-1.

Any sulphide-bearing zones found during mapping were

chip sampled and assayed for gold. Results are tabulated in

Appendix I and plotted on Drawings GC 3657-1,2 and GC 3658.

They are uniformly very low.

Gold mineralization on the SNI property is spatially

related to the feldspar porphyry dykes and may have resulted from a hydrothermal episode that focussed mineralizing fluids

into fractures within and flanking the feldspar porphyry and

other granitic intrusives.

5. GEOPHYSICS

A. Pre - 1979 Ground Geophysics

Magnetometer and Radem VLF surveys which were

performed by R. A. MacGregor over a large area of Skead

Township cover the SNI grid. With considerable difficulty,

MacGregor's old grid lines were tied into the 1979 metric grid

and the magnetic and VLF data transferred. Principal VLF and

magnetic features are presented on the Drawings accompanying the report on IP and Resistivity surveys by Phoenix Geophysics.

Drilling results indicate the VLF features are caused by zones of fracturing, shearing, talc-alteration and serpentin

ization within the ultramafic rocks.

B. 1979 Ground Geophysics

The induced polarization and resistivity survey

performed over the SNI grid is described fully by Hallof (1979),

Drill targets were selected on the basis of Hallof's recommend

ations and on an analysis of the profiles by Riocanex's

geologists and geophysicists. No IP, Resistivity or VLF anomalies were found to be associated directly with the known

mineralization. The presumption is that the known sulphide-

gold zone is too small to give significant IP response.

C. 1979 Airborne Geophysics

In September 1979 the Ontario Government released

results of an Input AEM survey of a large area which included the SNI property. Flight lines were well-oriented across

the strike of the units and numerous conductors were detected

on the property. In all, two 6-channel, one 5-channel, twelve

4-channel, ten 3-channel and seven 2-channel conductors were

located. An earlier 1976 Dighem survey with flight lines

roughly parallel to the strike of the units on the grid had

failed to detect any anomalous conductivity. The Input

conductor locations were plotted and compared to the VLF and

IP and Resistivity results. There is moderately good spatial

correlation and the Input anomalies are interpreted largely

as low resistivity zones marking zones of fracturing, shearing and serpentinization in the ultramafic intrusives. A group

of conductors in the north-east part of the property is

related to graphitic sediments.

8. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A. Conclusions

1. The known gold mineralization, though of high

grade, has been adequately tested to prove it is of

such limited size as to be of no commercial interest.

2. It is unlikely that any large sulphide-associated

gold deposit exists within the confines of the SNI grid.

No strong IP anomalies were left untested and those

tested invariably were caused by alteration and fracture

zones within ultramafic intrusives,

3. Ultramafic intrusives are generally considered

to be highly unfavourable hosts for large sulphide-

associated gold deposits. Drilling has indicated

that such intrusives occupy a much greater proportion

of the SNI grid than was at first expected. Several other weak untested IP - Resistivity anomalies are

probably related to alteration within ultramafic

intrusives and do not warrant drill testing.

4. The remaining potential for large scale gold

mineralization within the confines of the SNI grid is not sufficiently high to warrant further exploration

expenditure.

B. Recommendat ions

1. in accordance with the conclusions above, it

was recommended that the SNI option be dropped. In

January 1980 the property was returned to Superior

Northwest Inc.

2. Extreme caution is recommended in any future use of IP - Resistivity techniques if extensive

ultramafic rocks exist in the survey area as such

rocks give rise to numerous non-sulphide related

anomalies.
