EARTHUNT RESOURCES INC. R.R. 2, ONTAI (705) 41P11SE0426 63.6121 CHURCHILL FORT KNOX GOLD - SHININGTREE PROJECT GENERAL GEOLOGICAL/GEOCHEMICAL OBSERVATIONS A geological reconnaissance was undertaken in the southeast quadrant of Churchill Township and in adjoining Asquith Township between the hamlet of Shiningtree and Chlorus Lake. The work was accomplished in mid-September and the latter half of October, 1990, and was greatly facilitated by a network of logging access roads connected to Highway 560. The logging activities were confined to the 1980*3, well after M. Carter of the O.G.S. conducted his mapping surveys. Extensive areas of clear cutting now provide many new rock exposures. Our recent field work principally involved an examination of outcrops in an area extending from the Gosselin claims in the Speed Lake area to the Herrick (Kingsley Vein) claims at Michiwakenda Lake. This is a distance of about 3 miles (4.8 km) and traverses a t hick stratigraphic section with pillowed and komatiitic basalts at the base, succeeded by rhyolite and iron formation in the Perkins-Cochrane Lakes area. The aforementioned rocks are capped by mixed flows, sediments and iron formation of the Temiskaming equivalent Ridout series (see attached map). The field work was designed to provide a preliminary assessment of Fort Knox Gold's recently acquired claims which cover both the Gosselin and Herrick gold occurrences. Stripping, washing and sampling was done on the Gosselin south zone, shaft area and main quartz zone near Speed Lake. The work was concentrated on the south zone where host rocks to gold mineralization are of two types: a silicified, weakly pyritic felsite unit, and bull quartz veins in dark green komatiitic rocks (see attached sketch maps). The bull quartz is locally rusty and contains minor - up to Q.5% - pyrite and chalcopyrite and reportedly visible gold. Although no gold was seen, the size of the deep, wide pit in the 'D' trench gives validity to the old reports. Drill cores from under this trench gave up to 0.05 o.p.t. gold over about five feet (1.5 m). The pink, hematitic, pyritized wall rocks to the bull quartz veins commonly carry J.% - 3% pyrite, and on geochemical analysis gave up to 991 p.p.b. gold. By contrast, the bull quartz gave a high value of 391 p.p.b. gold. 2. . . llil 010 ip ojo--2- At the Gosselin shaft, visible gold can be readily seen in samples from the old shaft sunk on a quartz vein which occurs at a contact between komatiite and a felsite intrusion (see whole rock analysis ST-WR-90-6). The quartz is banded with carbonate, sericite, chlorite, fuchsite, and trace amounts of fine-grained pyrite. One grab sample from the shaft dump gave 1851 p. p. b. gold. The most significant gold values obtained on the Gosselin claims were reported in the 1980's by Onitap Resources. The gold occurs in the same felsic intrusion exposed at the shaft and in the Gosselin south zone where Fort Knox conducted its recent backhoe stripping. According to Onitap drill logs, a fifty foot (15 m) section of core from a silicified, pyritic section of the felsite assayed about 0.05 o. p. t. gold. The core from this hole may be available for examination. The Kingsley vein on the Herrick claims was channel- sampled over a length of about 1000 feet (330 m). The results of this sampling are attached to this report. The vein was stripped over a length of about 1200 feet (370 m) by Unocal Ltd. in the summer of 1989. The Herrick structure is in places a knife-sharp crack filled by a grey and white banded l foot (0.3 m) quartz vein or a quartz breccia vein up to 6.5 feet (2 m) in width. Locally, where the structure is up to 16.5 feet (5 m) wide, it is best described as a quartz stringer stockwork. At the Herrick, fine visible gold was seen - in samples on the mine dump - in white alabaster- textured quartz and in association with very fine-grained acicular arsenopyrite and ser icite-rich bands in the quartz. There does not appear to be a direct relationship between gold and the amount of sulphides. In fact, the sulphide content is generally low ( 11) a nd a number of high grade samples (e.g. 122869-873 incl.) showed only traces of metallic mineralization. A number of gold showings are known on the Churchill claims, about 3/8 miles (0.6 km) south of the Herrick. The structure is complex in this area, which is underlain by carbonate facies iron formation, altered rhyolite and mafic intrusive rocks. The gold occurs in quartz veins, the most interesting of which are hosted by iron formations. At the Pet vein, which produced gold in 1981, the host is banded siderite-chert iron formation while to the north, the iron formation hosting the Cochrane veins is sulphidic, chert- oxide facies. The setting is reminiscent of that of the Agnico Eagle mine near Joutel, Quebec. R R. 2, MILLBROOK DOUG HUNTER, M.SC. ONTARIO. CANADA CONSULTING GEOLOGIST LOA 1 GO (715) 932-31 30-3- Zinc mineralization was observed in chert and carbonate units associated with iron formations both east and west of Perkins Lake. A siderite-rich chloritic fragmental outcrop at the southwest corner of Perkins Lake resembles the iron formation exposed at the Pet vein workings. The Perkins Lake sphalerite-pyrite showing occurs within a relatively thick felsic volcanic unit which has been mapped by Carter over a 4 mile {6.5 km) strike length. A pyrite-rich horizon examined on the shore of Cochrane Lake is associated with an A.E.M. anomaly (beneath the lake) which is directly on strike of the zinc mineralization at Perkins Lake. There appears to be potential in this environment for volcanogenic massive copper-zinc sulphides. In summary, the following points are emphasized: i) The geological relations at Shiningtree are poorly understood and detailed work will improve the situation dramatically; ii) Our field work has given us a good grounding in order to undertake a meaningful compilation of the economic geology; iii) Very little systematic base metal exploration has been performed and there are some new zinc showings which have not been evaluated; iv) Komatiitic basalts seem to be more important in the Shiningtree area than previously thought. These are potential hosts for volcanogenic Cu-Ni deposits; v) Gold mineralization in the Shiningtree area is widespread and occurs in a wide variety of geologic environments. Documentation is poor and research/compilation could be very imformative. Respectfully submitted, A. Douglas Hunter November, 1990 R R 2, MILLBROOK DOUG HUNTER.M.Sc. ONTARIO.
