SUMMARY

The 23 mineral claims making up the Echo Bay property, located 23 miles (37 km) southwest of Kenora, Ontario, were staked in June 1983 to cover ground that was believed to have a high pot ential for hosting economic gold mineralization. The property which lies immediately west of Echo Bay on Lake of the Woods, or northeast of Clytie Bay on Shoal Lake is underlain by geology that has features in common with two nearby active gold camps, and three past producing gold mines. At the first gold camp at High Lake 8 miles (12.9 km) northwest of the "'Echo Bay property the best reserves to date are 90,000 tons of 0.3 oz gold/ton. Exploration work is continuing at this camp. The second gold camp is 7 miles (11.3 taa) southwest of the Echo Bay property near Stevens Island in Shoal Lake where Union Carbide is presently bulk sampling material from new re serves of 2 million tons of 0.3 oz gold/ton at the Duport Mine. These reserves were found by Selco during a drill program a few years ago. The three past producing high grade gold and silver mines lie just k miles (6.4 km) south of the Echo Bay property. These mines were the Mikado Mine (28,335 oz gold, 41 oz silver), the Cedar Island Mine (4941 oz gold, 3884 oz silver) and the Olympia Mine (332 oz gold, 58 oz silver). Past mining history and recent exploration developments indicate that the Shoal Lake - Echo Bay region represents a very prospec tive gold environment. In June 1984 a VLF-EM 16 survey was conducted over the Echo Bay property as a first phase of exploration. The results of the survey verified that several faults mapped by the OGS cross the property. The existence of many new subparallel faults were also indicated by the survey. Continued . . .

SUMMARY - C ontinued

It is believed that faulting on the property, as indicated by the VLF-EM survey and government mapping, could have provided the structure for the formation of Shoal Lake type orebodies, while the Canoe Lake Stock, or offshoots from it, could have supplied the heat or source of solutions to form gold orebodies. Limited prospecting on the property has outlined several areas where pyrite and silica have been introduced into the rocks, but no assaying has yet been done for gold. At this point a program of lithogeochemical sampling for gold, silver, arsenic, copper and molybdenum is recommended to define geochemically promising areas that are coincident with the identified faulting. Promising targets should then be drilled to test for gold mineralization.

- 3 INTRODUCTION

The Echo Bay property, made up of 23 mineral claims (Kenora #727201-308, 210-212, 214-215, 218-219 and 224-23J) is situ ated 23 miles (37 km) southwest of Kenora, Ontario (Lat. 49* 38'; Long. 9V57', N.T.S. 52-E-10). The property lies at the west end of Echo Bay on Lake of the Woods, or immediately northeast of Clytie Bay on Shoal Lake. The mineral claims,were staked by the writer in June 1983 to cover ground that was be lieved to have a high potential for hosting economic gold mineralization. The Echo Bay property lies just 7 miles (11.3 km) northeast of the Duport Mine, Shoal Lake where 2 million tons of 0.3 oz/T gold have been outlined by drilling in recent years, and just 8 miles (12.9 km) southeast of the High Lake gold camp where ex ploration is currently being conducted, and where reserves of 90,000 tons of 0.3 oz/T gold have been- outlined. The geology of the Echo Bay property has features in common with both of the neighbouring gold camps, yet little exploration work has been conducted in the Echo Bay region. A VLF-EM 16 ground survey was selected as the means to best evaluate the Echo Bay property during initial exploration. Twenty-three miles (37 km) of grid were established on the prop erty and a VLF-EM 16 survey was conducted over the full grid during June of this year (1984). This report outlines the re sults of the VLF-EM 16 survey while maps accompanying this re port show the Grid Area, the V1F-EM 16 Basic Data, and the Fraser Filtered In-Phase Data. VLF-EM 16 conductors have been identified, and described in the text of this report. LOCATION, ACCESS. TOPOGRAPHY AND VEGETATION

miles (37 km) southwest of Kenora, Ontario (Lat. 490 38', Long. 9V57' N.T.S. 52-E-10). The property can be reached in 45 min utes from Kenora via the Trans-Canada Highway #17, 22 miles (35 km), the Rush Bay road, k miles (6 km), and the Clytie Bay gravel road, 7 miles (11 km). Gravel roads extend to several parts of the property (see Fig. EB-84-2). Typical of the Canadian Shield the property features low relief with rounded rocky ridges rising only 100 feet (33 a) above the 1060 foot (323 m) base elevation of Lake of the Woods or Shoal Lake. The northeast trending ridges supporting a dense growth of balsam trees are separated by narrow, elongate, cedar, alder and willow swamps. Spruce, birch, poplar and pine trees are also common to the area. The region was logged for pulp wood several decades ago, and the new forest has grown in very thickly. Several beaver ponds cover large portions of the property. The Kenora region has a continental climate with warm summers (maximum 32*C) and cold winters (minimum -40*C). Snow cover can equal up to 3 feet (1 m) and lasts from early November until mid-April. CLAIM STATUS

The Echo Bay property was staked by the writer in June 1983. The 23 mineral claims making up the present property were record ed in Kenora on June 21, 1983* The mineral claims, located with in the Kenora Mining Division, are numbered 727201-208, 727210212, 727214-215, 727218-219, and 727224-23/. All 23 mineral claims are 100# owned by M. Morrison of Kelowna, B.C. The filing of this VLF-EM report will keep the claims in good standing until June 21, 1985. Continued . . .

HI STORY OF PBEVIOUS WORK

During the course of this year's survey several very old claim posts were noted in the region now covered by the Echo Bay property. However, there is little evidence of previous pros pecting on the property with the exception of some widely spaced shallow, blasted pits. Most rock outcroppings are moss covered, and have not been disturbed for years. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

Map 2443, Kenora - Fort Frances by the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) illustrates the geology of the Shoal Lake and Lake of the Woods areas west of Kenora at a scale of 1 inch equals k miles. The map shows that a 20 mile wide belt of complexly folded Arch ean metavolcanics and metasediments extends across the northern portion of Lake of the Woods from 8 miles east of Kenora to Shoal Lake and the Manitoba border, 30 miles west of Kenora. The meta morphic rocks have been intruded by Early Precambrian stocks and dykes at several points, and most noteably south of Echo Bay on Lake of the Woods (the Canoe Lake Stock), and at High Lake, near the Manitoba border. Gold mineralization fringes both the Canoe Lake and High Lake intrusives. Past gold-silver producers lying near the Canoe Lake Stock in clude the Mikado, Cedar Island, and Olympia Mines with a total production of 33*600 oz of gold and 4000 oz of silver. The old Duport Mine on Stevens Island, Shoal Lake is located only k miles from the Canoe Lake Stock. Past production at this mine included 4672 oz of gold, 1,143 oz of silver. However, recent exploration has increased gold reserves at this old mine to 2 million tons of 0.3 oz Au/ton, or 600,000 oz of gold. At High Lake several small bodies of gold ore have been defined by drilling and the best reserves of the camp are 90,000 tons of 0.3 oz gold/Ton, although exploration continues. Continued . . .

REGIONAL GEOLOGY - C ontinued

At both the Shoal Lake and High Lake gold camps the gold orebodies are emplaced along shear zones, and the origin of the ore solutions appears to be genetically related to the Early Precambrian intrusives. The Echo Bay property covers geology that includes features common to both gold camps. A series of metavolcanic rocks ranging from acid to basic cross the property, and these are intruded by the Canoe Lake Stock, and by porphyry offshoots from the stock. The east-west trend of the High Lake geology meets with the northeast-southwest trend of the Shoal Lake geo logy on the Echo Bay property, and adjustments have been made along several faults that cross the property. It may also be seen on the regional geological map that the Canoe Lake Stock interrupts an anticline that crosses Shoal Lake and the Duport Mine property before it reaches the Echo Bay area. LOCAL GEOLOGY

Detailed mapping by the OGS at 1" = • i mile scale on Map 2069, Ewart-Forgie Area, and at 1" - i mile scale on Map P528, North Shoal Lake Area (East Sheet) shows that the geology of the Echo Bay property is varied. Metavolcanic rocks ranging from rhyolites to basalts cross the property from west to east separated by major strike faults or concordant quartz porphyry or gabbro dykes. Porphyritic granodiorite intrudes the metavolcanics at the southwest corner of the property, while grey granodiorite of the Canoe Lake Stock intrudes the metavolcanics from the south and southeast. North of the Canoe Lake Stock quartz porphyry dykes cut the metavolcanics discordantly. Although this year's program did not include prospecting or geo logical mapping, the following interesting rocks were noted during the course of the VLF-EM survey: { fee. pi^e. J l) Continued . . .

VLF-EM 16 SURVEY

A flagged grid totalling 23 miles (37 km) was established over the 23 mineral claims of the Echo Bay property using a Silva Ranger compass and a Topolite belt chain. North-south grid lines were established at 100 metre (328 feet) intervals and stations were marked at 25 metres (82 feet) along the lines. At least i±0 stations were established on each mineral claim to meet the Complete Coverage requirements for assessment work purposes for the property. A VLF-EM 16 Ronka instrument rented from Geolease of Mississauga was used in conducting the survey over the entire grid. Seattle, Washington was selected as the signal station that best aligned with the geology of the Echo Bay property. A strong signal was received from a direction of due west, and readings were, there fore, taken at right angles, or facing north along the grid lines. The angle of tilt (In-Phase) and the quadrature were recorded at each 25 metre (82 feet) survey station. The Basic VLF-EM Data has been plotted in profile form on Map EB-84-6, while the Fraser Filtered In-Phase Data has been contoured on Map EB-84-7. Con ductors have been identified with letter symbols on Map EB-84-7. The Fraser filtering technique has had widespread use in the handling of VLF-EM 16 data for over ten years. By means of simple mathematical operations the tilt data can be transformed into contourable form, and the effects of noise and topography can be filtered from data. By averaging pairs of stations and taking differences between pairs separated by the appropriate distance, values may be plotted and contoured in plan that transform cross overs into peaks, and a low-pass smoothing operator reduces noise. A full explanation of the Fraser filtering technique is given in geophysical papers by Fraser, Peterson and Ronka that are listed under references at the end of this report. Continued . . .

- 13 DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS OF THE VLF-EM 16 SURVEY

Several strong VLF-EM conductors have been outlined by the con touring of the Fraser Filtered In-Phase Data on Map EB-84-7. These anomalies have been identified by the letters A to X on the map. Those anomalies aligned with the Power Line (and caused by the Power Line) have not been lettered. Northwest of the Power Line several narrow, elongate, discontinuous conductors cross the property for distances of several hundred metres. Some of the more continuous conductors align with swamps and valleys, which in turn align with faults mapped by the OGS on their Map #2069. These major faults have been plotted on our^Map EB-84-5 1 and identified with the same letters(B7E, G, H and I\ which were used to name the coincide VLF-EM conductors7^~TEere~~is such a good correlation between the mapped faults and the VLF-EM conductors that it might be assumed that elongate conductors A,C,D, also represent faults that have not yet been mapped, but which are sub-parallel to those that have been mapped by the OGS. Southeast of the Power Line crossing the Echo Bay property the VLF-EM conductors are much more discontinuous than those to the northwest of the Power Line, and this difference probably re flects the fact that strike faults are not well developed through the area. The Canoe Lake Stock with discordant offshooting dykes has apparently limited the extent of the faulting to the areas where VLF-EM conductors M, N and P cross the property. Conductors L, Q, S and X on the southern portion of the property are strong, but they run off of the property and their full extent is not known, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Several strong VLF-EM conductors crossing the Echo Bay property from west to east have been identified with the 1984 survey. Five of the major conductors coincide with faults mapped by the OGS, while several other conductors are believed to represent subparaContinued . . .

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS - C ontinued

llel faults that have not yet been mapped. Many of the conduc tors and faults align with narrow valleys that are occupied with cedar swamps and beaver ponds, and they are therefore difficult to verify. None of the pyritized zones observed correlate well with the VLFEM conductors, and it must therefore be concluded that while the VLF-EM 16 is a valuable instrument for outlining faults and shear zones, it is not a suitable instrument for defining low grade mineralization. The faulting outlined by the survey is considered important. Faulting is a necessary feature of most gold mines located within the Canadian Shield, and it would seem to be important in the Shoal Lake area as well. If mineralizing solutions have been gen erated 7 by the Canoe Lake Stock they will have been ultimately deposited along a shear structure at some point. The pyrite that we have viewed (and listed under the Local Geology section of this report) may be an indication of such deposition. At this point lithogeochemical sampling should be carried out in the regions of noted pyrite mineralization, or in regions border ing fault valleys. The samples should be analyzed for gold and silver (fire assay), and arsenic, copper and molybdenum. Arsenic should be a good indicator of gold mineralization as arsenopyrite is a common associate of gold at the Duport Mine. Chalco pyrite and molybdenite are common associates with gold at the High Lake Camp. Any encouragement from initial lithogeochemical sampling should be followed-up with a grid lithogeochemical survey. Areas with anom alous gold or silver or the associated elements near VLF-EM in ferred faults should be considered as diamond drill targets for economic gold mineralization.

for Technical Reports 1984 10 16

2.7066/148-84

An examination of your survey report indicates that the requirements of The Ontario Mining Act have not been fully met to warrant maximum assessment work credits. This notice is merely a warning that you will not be allowed the number of assessment work days credits that you expected and also that in approximately 15 days from the above date, the mining recorder will be authorized to change the entries on his record sheets to agree with the enclosed statement. Please note that until such time as the recorder actually changes the entry on the record sheet, the status of the claim remains unchanged. If you are of the opinion that these changes by the mining recorder will jeopardize your claims, you may during the next fifteen days apply to the Mining and Lands Commissioner for an extension of time. Abstracts should be sent with your application. If the reduced rate of credits does not jeopardize the status of the claims then you need not seek relief from the Mining and Lands Commissioner and this Notice of Intent may be disregarded. If your survey was submitted and assessed under the "Special Provision-Performance and Coverage" method and you are of the opinion that a re-appraisal under the "Man-days" method would result in the approval of a greater number of days credit per claim, you may, within the said fifteen day period, submit assessment work breakdowns listing the employees names, addresses and the dates and hours they worked. The new work breakdowns should be submitted direct to the Lands Management Branch, Toronto. The report will be re-assessed and a new statement of credits based on actual days worked will be issued.
