SSM 76690 to SSM 76707 inclusive (18 claims)
LOCATION
The property is situated in the northeast quadrant of Striker Township
of the Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division of Ontario. The group abuts
the eastern boundary of the Township with Long Township and extends
from the north shore of Lake Lauzon to within two claim lengths of
the Township's north boundary.
ACCESS
The property is readily accessible from Sudbury or Sault Ste. Marie
via Trans-Canada Highway #17 to villages of cither Algoma Mills or
Blind River. From village of Algoma Mills, access is by boat across
Lake Lauzon, a matter of only seven miles. From village of Blind River,
access is via Highway #555 to McGiverin Lake and then a bush walk for
about two miles to the north-west corner of the property. Suvibury and
Sault Ste. Marie are both served by Air Canada and Canadian Pacifi:
Railways.

Hydro electric power is available from the Ontario Hydro grid which
supplies the Sudbury-Sault Ste. Marie-Blind River area.
Timber and other building materials are available locally.
Transport via Highway #17, the Canadian Pacific Railway and/or Air
Canada to Sudbury or Sault Ste. Marie is no problem.
An old lumber road trending north-east passes through the property.
It has been obscured by later beaver work and is overgrown at places.
On the accompanying geological and magnetometer survey maps, the
road has been shown by double dashed lines where obvious and by a
single dashed line interspersed with question marks where flooded or
too overgrown to recognize.
HISTORY
The general area of the property has been prospected for copper over
many years and for uranium during the 1953-1956 era. Some of the
drilling done in this general area is inconclusive as a fe\v of the drill
holes failed to reach the basement. The location of the earlier diamond
drill holes is shown on the attached property map and the drilling da:a

depth of 830' in now claim #SSM 80991. The hole passed
through quartzites up to a depth of 267' and between 267' and
823' it ran through diabase. From 823* onwards the hole was in
hornblende granite (basement) but no radioactive conglomerates
were encountered.
3. Fitzpatrick Uranium Mines drilled seven holes in now claim
HSSM 76697 in 1955. All the holes were very shallow (ranged
in depth from 25' to 59") and ended in quartzite.
TOPOGRAPHY
The relief of the country is fairly high and a scarp and dip slope topography
prevails in the sediments. The drainage is controlled by the geology,
creeks flow either along the strike or along the weak zones, i. e. contart
zones. The diabase dykes of the Keweenav.ar. type are less resistant to
erosion and usually form small stream channels. There has been fairly

Both coniferous and deciduous trees are common. A lot of forest cover "-- 1 1
has been destroyed by previous forest fires and there is practically no
soil over the quartzite areas.
LINE CUTTING
Line cutting was done on the property during the month of November, 1967
and a total of 46 miles of lines were cut. Three major east-west base
lines were necessary and cross lines were cut north-south from the
base lines at 300 foot intervals.
GENERAL GEOLOGY
The property lies on the southern limb of Chiblow anticline and is
underlain by a thick (about 500') gabbro body in the eastern part and by
Huronian sediments belonging to Lower and Middle Mississagi Formations
in the western part. In the north eastern part of the property Archean
basement rocks of granitic to granodioritic composition outcrop. These
formations are cut by a number of thin east-\vest running diabase dykes.
A vertical fault of no significant throw runs cast-west in the middle of
the property. Following is a brief description of the formations h
chronological order.

Nipissing Diabase
The gabbro sill is about 500" thick and covers about 307r of the map area.
At its contact with quartzites it shows a chilled edge. The body is almost
barren and only at one place (Line 18W. 18N) slight traces of sulphide
mineralization were observed.
Lower and Middle Mississagi Formations
Middle Mississagi Formation outcrops in the western part of the area and
is represented by arkosic quartzites and interbedded argillltes. Lower
Mississagi Formation outcrops in the central and north-west part of the
property and is represented by pink to light colored quartzites and light
greenish arkosic quartzites. The quartzites arc medium to fine grained
and fairly well sorted. The sediments are frequently cross bedded and
show well developed mega-ripple marks, which suggest north westerlyt
current directions. At the contact with Nipissing Diabase the quartzite*
arc slightly bleached and show slich*. concent rations of magnetite anrl
othor mafic minerals.

Magnetometer Survey
A magnetic survey using a Sharpe Fluxgate magnetometer MJ
carried out during November, 1967. Magnetometer readings•: ; itaken both on base lines and cross lines at 100* intervals. Technical
details of the instrument can be found in Appendix "A".
Discussion of the Magnetometer Survey Results
A base control station arbitrarily assigned a magnetic value of 1500
gammas was established at HOON, 33+50E and all the readings were
adjusted to it. Ir. general, the quartzites and arkosic quartzites produce
fairly constant magnetic susceptibility but higher readings are obtained
on the diabase body. Some of the highs in the diabase may be attributed
to concentration of magnetite in the diabase, other high readings occur
on the tops of ridges where tile soil cover is minimum. Higher magnetic
readings were also obtained in the stream channels, this is probably
due to concentration of magnetite in the sand in the stream bed.
Discussion of Scintillometer Results
A scintillometer traverse \\as run following the old road and then along
Line 6W from base line 39 + 60N. The instrument used was a S. R. A. T.
scintillometer of S. P. P. 2. NF type. Usuall-- very low counts were
obtained on the sediments but some of the higher readings correspond
to more arkosic and sericitic bands in the quartzite.

CONCLUSIONS-- :
The results of the geological survey indicate that the general picture
of rock type distribution as shown in the Ontario Department of Mines
P304 and Compilation Series 2108 is quite accurate. The detailed
geological map accompanying this report shows the detail as mapped.
The magnetometer survey suggests no unexpected complications relative
to intrusives with the readings being generally rather uniform.
The diamond drilling carried out by earlier exploration efforts give
inconclusive results in view of either their local and/or the failure to
penetrate to sufficient depth.
In view of the presently known geological data, it would appear that the
obvious location for any exploratory drilling to cross section the favorable
lower Mississagi Sediments in the vicinity of the basement complex,
would be from the middle Mississagi outcrop area on the south and west
part of the claim group.

on claim #SSM 76690 with actual collar location dependent on local
topography. It would be advisable to provide for a minimum of three
holes with any decision relative to the second and third drill dependent
on the data resulting from No. 1. These holes should reach basement
at approximately 1500 feet, thus three holes would involve a total or
an estimated 4500 feet of drilling.
