1. Introduction:

The Sudbury Mining camp is one of the most prolific producers of copper/nickel in the world. It is also produces by-product metals such as cobalt, platinum, palladium and gold. Accordingly the Sudbury area was selected as an excellent region for mineral exploration. The availability of land open to staking in Graham Township and its proximity to the Creighton Mine made it an attractive location to explore and test various exploration models. Offset, quartz diorite (QD) dykes on the south range of the Sudbury Impact Complex (SIC) are known to host world class Cu. Ni. deposits. The previous geologic mapping exercise identified certain several zones of Sudbury Breccia. These zones have the potential for hosting SIC type mineral deposits. Geo System Canada Inc. was contracted to perform an AMT survey to identify possible deep deposits coincident with the breccia zones identified by the 1998 mapping.

2. Location and Access

The property is situate in Graham Township, west of the town of Lively, Sudbury Mining Division. The East end of the grid crosses Hwy #144 in the area of the Archery Club road, about one kilometer south of the Creighton turn off, and is bounded on the South by Hwy. #17. The West end of the grid can be accessed by a trail going north from Hwy. #17, approximately 6.5 Km. west of the Hwy. #144 turn off.

3. Properties:

The survey covers mining claims S-1229749 - 63 incl. and privately held lands as follows, S1/2 of lot 11 Con IV, most of lot 11 Con m, lot 10 Con III A IV, lot 9 Con IV and the North 3/4 of Con III, lot 8 Con IV and the North 1/2 of Con III, lot 7 Con III, IV and the south 1/2 of Con V, lot 6 North 1/2 of Con III, Con IV and the South 1/2 of Con V, lot 5 North 1/2 of Con III, North 1/2 and South 1/4 of Con IV, Con V and the SE 1/4 of the Nl/2 of Con VI, lot 4 North 1/2 of Con III, Con IV, and the East 1/2 of Con V, lot 3 North 1/2 of Con IE, Con IV b V and the South 1/2 of Con VI, lot 2 Con South 1/2 of the South 1/2 and North 1/2 of Con IV, Con V and the South 1/2 of Con VI, lot l Con IV, West 1/2 of Con V and the South 1/2 of Con VI.

5. Background:

The company originally set out to determine if the project area contained quartz diorite (QD) dykes with potential for sulphide deposits, or zones of breccia that might lead to such deposits. The 1998-99 mapping did not identify any significant sulfide occurrences or QD dykes, but did identify zones of Sudbury breccia. Accordingly, the company proceeded to test the more promising zones of breccia with an AMT survey.

SUMMARY

Audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) measurements were collected at an average spacing of about 300m along 9 north-oriented lines, also spaced 300m apart, for a total of 62 stations (i.e ~15 line kilometers) in the Graham East area, Sudbury, in July-August, 1999. Data were recorded in the frequency range 0.5-20,000 Hz, using three 5-channel Metronix 24 bit ADU-06 acquisition systems, of which one was a fixed reference station. Each AMT measurement consisted of a perpendicular pair of 50m dipoles; two orthogonal magnetic field sensors, and one vertical magnetic field sensor. Robust processing resulted in generally good data quality within the survey area.Data were edited, rotated using (mostly) Torquil Smith decomposition, and static shifted. The results are shown as a series of pseudo-sections of apparent resistivity and phase for each of the TE and TM modes, in frequency-distance space.

1. INTRODUCTIONThis report describes acquisition and processing procedures of the audio-frequency magnetotelluric (AMT) survey conducted in the Graham East area of the Sudbury Basin on behalf of Wallbridge. A total of 62 AMT stations were occupied, of which 7 had additional data collected during overnight runs.

Figure l: Profile locations.Coordinates are in meters on the UTM grid.

The survey was carried out using three 24-bit ADU-06 systems manufactured by Metronix GmbH of Braunschweig, Germany. Magnetic sensors were the BF-10 induction coils produced by Electro-Magnetic Instruments Inc. (EMI) of El Cerrito, California. Appendix II contains a description of the personnel and equipment used for the survey, along with a description of the data formats.Layout followed the normal MT axis convention, that is, a right-handed system with z positive downwards. Dipole lengths of 50 meters and a fixed acquisition azimuth of geographic north was used at all sites throughout the survey. Access to the grid was by 4WD vehicle as far as possible, and thence on foot. Due to the low system weight, the operator and 2 helpers were able to pack all of the necessary gear without difficulty.

2. DATA PROCESSING AND EDITING

2.1 Processing overviewThe basic steps required to transform field time-series to usable data are as follows:

1. Automatic selection of coherent data segments (low noise) by comparison of the electric and magnetic fields;

2. Robust processing of the 150 most coherent data segments in each sample band,3. Merging of individual bands to form a complete sounding curve;4. Checking of calculated curves for geophysical plausibility.

Data were archived on CD ROM on a daily basis after the time series was transferred from the field computers to the processing computer. Time series were viewed with the Metronix visualization program QuickLook. Automatic coherency selection and robust processing were carried out using routines developed by Jim Larsen (Larsen and others, 1996). Data analysis, interpretation, and presentation were completed with Geosystem's interpretation software, WinGLink.

2.2 Robust processingRobust processing techniques were employed to improve data quality and reduce theeffects of noise bias. The method of Larsen and others (1996) was used to estimatesmooth magnetotelluric transfer functions (i.e. impedances) relating the electric andmagnetic field data.Data segments were automatically selected on the basis of electric and magnetic fieldcoherency, and used as input to the robust processing algorithm. The magnetic and electricfields are used in an iterative re-weighted method to determine the impedance tensor.During the iterations, the electric fields are corrected in both the frequency and timedomains, utilizing a smooth MT transfer function to estimate the electric field data fromthe magnetic fields. The total time required to robust process a single sounding wasapproximately 15 minutes.The program outputs data at 5 equi-spaced frequencies per decade (e.g. 12, 19, 30, 49,and 78 Hz). All of the soundings were processed using the robust algorithm.

3. DATA PRESENTATION

3.1 Data description and dimensionalityThe AMT responses, at frequencies down to l Hz, are primarily two-dimensional, with three-dimensional effects superimposed in a few areas. Data were rotated to the average strike direction of 1050 prior to interpretation, decomposing the data into responses parallel and perpendicular to strike (the TE and TM modes respectively). At most stations, Plow is aligned along the strike direction and is therefore the TE mode. An example of this is shown in figure 2. In more 3-D areas, or where noise made the standard decomposition process unstable, the decomposition techniques of Torquil Smith and LaTorraca were utilized in an attempt to produce sounding curves similar to those of near-by sites.

Figure 2: Sounding N13017, located near the center of the eastern grid. The higher of the two apparent resistivity curves at lOOHz is identified as the TM mode, the overall curve shapes at most sites in this prospect are similar.

3.2 Static shiftStatic shift, i.e. the frequency-independent shift of apparent resistivity curves, is caused by near-surface conductive inhomogeneities which distort the local electric fields (Groom and Bailey, 1989). Without external data, there is no unique way of resolving this effect. In the present survey area, large static shifts were observed at about 1507o of the sites, with maximum relative shifts (i.e. Ohigh compared with piow) of two decades. Impedance phase, which is proportional to the slope of the apparent resistivity curves, is nearly independent of static shift. Phase pseudo-sections were therefore used as a guide to static-shifting of the apparent resistivity curves. In general, piow was shifted to coincide with phigh at the high-frequency end of the curves.

3.3 Pseudo-sectionsPseudo-sections (in frequency/distance space) of observed apparent resistivity and phase are plotted for all lines used for inversion in Appendix I.

Re.: Submission Number: 2,19816

Dear Mr Gashinski,

RECEIVEDJAN 20 20GD

GEOSCIENCE ASSESSMENT ___ OfFICE

Thank you for your letter from January 7,2000 requesting further information on the report on the "AMT Survey, Trill Prospect, Sudbury, Ontario" compiled by Geosystem Canada Inc. of Toronto and submitted to your office for assessment credits. Following additional information hope&Jh/ will satisfy the requirements for the assessment report.

1. In reference to section 14flg of the Assessment Works Regulation: After processing of the field measurements, data on the pseudosections indicate that the lithology under the surveyed area has a moderate to high resistivity for shallow and moderate depth. At greater depth ^ 3000m) the survey produced very pronounced low resistivities and phase angles, They are caused by the limitations of the model used for the processing and are of little consequence because they occur beyond the level of mining and economic interest. One anomalous zone located on line W-1 at station 012036R is consisting of lower resistivitie and higher phase for the TE measurements at moderate depth. This could represent a zone of lower resistivity, which may represent a target of interest for further investigations.

2. Re.: Section 14h: Conclusion and recommendation: A possible AMT anomaly was located on the western part of the area on line W-1 at 012036R. This anomaly is located at moderate depth (OOOOm). To further evaluate this anomaly a 2-D inversion of the data should be calculated. Because the anomaly is not closed off to the east the AMT survey should be expanded to the east of the western grid.

3. Re. Point 2.: The AMT set-ups need some area to lay out the sensors in the field (i.e.lOmxl Om). Therefore the stations often were established away from the proposed stations in more open areas. The grid location map with the property outline shows the actual location of the lines as they were cut and chained in the field and the proposed AMT stations. During the course of the AMT survey OPS readings were taken routinely as part of the recording of the field measurement. The OPS co-ordinates were used to plot the location of the stations in relation to the UTM grid (NAD 27) as shown in the report by Geosystem

4. Re. 3.: During the time the AMT survey was carried out the northern end of line W-2 was too wet to establish AMT stations in this area. New locations for the AMT stations were established to the east of line W-2 on dry ground. The new stations also were surveyed in by OPS. When the pseudosections were calculated, these new stations were included into a profile made out of stations along line W-1. This explains why the grid and proposed AMT field station and the actual stations and calculated pseudosections do not agree on the maps attached to the report. For the interpretation of the AMT data this is of little consequence because the results of the readings represent information from a large volume below the stations.

We hope that the above explanations will satisfy the requirements of the assessment report.
