I have been telling people about the golden pickle for years. We have low sodium pickles and albitized too. I remember in the 'Bond Gold' rush, (which radiated from Muskasagogen (d.sp.?) Lake discovery between Pickle and McVicar Lake on the Meen Dempster belt), you could fly over the area and count literally dozens of drill rigs at all the X shaped lakes for dozens of miles. I never saw too much in the NR's on what they were finding. I have no idea how to spell this one. Types of gold deposition within this belt are: 1. Gold-bearing quartz veins occurring in discrete shear zones (e.g. Golden Patricia Vein, Tonsil zone, Koromond occurrence, Flicka occurrence). 2. Gold-bearing quartz veins filling tension-induced fractures (e.g. Sudbury Point occurrence, South Dunlop Lake occurrence). 3. Shear zone-hosted areas of silicification and/or sericitization and/or carbonatization and/or sulphidization (e.g. Dobie River zone, Umex-Dorothy Lake, Koval-Ohman). 4. Gold-bearing sulphide replacement zones within iron formation and ferruginous metasediments (e.g. Kasagiminnis Lake deposit, McVean Lake occurrence, Esker zone, Powerline zone, B-zone). 5. Gold-uranium mineralization in the sheared contact between the metavolcanics [sic] and the North Bamaji Pluton (e.g. Kirkland Townsite Showing #1). ***************************** A common feature of the majority of the gold occurrences in the Meen-Dempster greenstone belt is their association with highly sheared and deformed rocks. These highly deformed rocks may be parts of a belt-wide set of deformation zones as suggested above. Andrews et al. (1986) suggested that, in the Red Lake greenstone belt, the gold deposits are essentially products of hydrothermal fluids introduced into ductile deformation zones at a late stage in the tectonic history of the belt and at about the time of plutonic emplacements. This may also be the case on the Meen-Dempster greenstone belt. Stott and Wallace (1984) and Stott and Corfu (1991) suggest that the deformation zones in the Meen-Dempster greenstone belt were active at different points late in the tectonic history of the belt and at about the time of the emplacement of some of the internal plutons. Thus, it is suggested that the role of the deformation zones in the Meen-Dempster greenstone belt, with respect to gold mineralization, may have been similar to that of the deformation zones in the Red Lake greenstone belt.
