General^ - .

These claims, whioh comprise a portion of the property of Michipi coten Iron Mines Limited, are located about six miles northeast of Jamestown (Wawa) in the Michipicoten area of Ontario* The claims are specifically located in the S 1/2, RE I/A, T 29, R 25, District of Algona in the Sault Ste. Marie mining division. The Track Group (18 claims, SSH 52476 to 52493 inclu sive) were staked in the period June 11 - 15 inclusive, 1956, and the Brooks Lake Croup (4 claims, SSM 52494 to 52497 inclusive) were otaked June 16-13 inclusive, 1956* Assessment work in the fora of trenching was done in the fall of 1956 and in the fora of drilling during the sumnor of 1957 under the direction of E. Metvedt.

Results of Drillingt

nineteen holes, totalling 1470.5 foet (B core), were drilled on the Track group of eighteen olaios. Volcanic fragments (doalnantly tuffs) with ninor flows and sediments were encountered. Threads and grains of pyrrhotite end pyrite are prominent and occaoional massive oeaaa of these sulphides are found. Samples were assayed for nickel, copper, cobalt, gold, oliver and iron where the existence of euch elements was suspected. Ko signi ficant values were obtained.

Seven holes, totalling 487*9 feet (E core), wore drilled on the Brooks Lake group of four claims* Volcanic fragmentalo (especially tuff and lithic breccias) with lestver chert and carbonaceous argillite and ndnor acid flows and greywacke were encountered. Threads and grains of pyrrhotite and pyrite, and occasional massive teams of pyrrhotite, were noted. The sulphides wore moat prominent in the argillite. Samples were assayed for nickel and copper but no significant values wcro obtained. line ni tic and hranatitio soils and outcrop were observed through tho snow cover in a few places adjacent to the drilling. Those suggest the presence of a concentration of iron or sul phides and nay indicate an iron foraatior.

Locations of holes are shown on maps filed with the claim data and with the core logs. Distances were paced in heavy snow and ice and ere eub- joct to tho limitations of euch measurements. Core is located in three stacks on the Track group: (l), holes l to 9, adjacent to the collar of #4j (2), holoe 10 to 16, adjacent to the collar of //I6j and (3), holes 17 to 19, adja cent to the collar of #19. Core for the Brooks Lake holes l to 7 is located adjacent to the collar of ^1.

Sunroary of Work Perforated nndLeasing F.epruirementai

Drilling to the amount of 40 days' work (one year) has been recorded on each of the cloias of the Track group, with an excess credit of 10j days recorded to the claim on which most of the drilling was done (S3M 52491). Holes l to 10 Inclusive totalling 729.2 feet wore filed but because of o mis take in addition 730.5 feet were recorded.

Trenching to the value of one year's work (40 days) has been recorded on Claim S3M 52491.

Trenching to the value of one year1 s work has been recorded on each of the claims of the Brooks Lake group.

E. Metvedt ha* been instructed to file all vork to date, I.e., on additional 741.3 feet of drilling on the Track group (equal to tvo years plua 21*3 days) and AS7*9 foet of drilling on tho Brooke Lake group (equal to three years plua 7*9 days). Copies of all data filed are to be forwarded to Lynn Lake.

The groups will then require the following vork to complete leas ing requirtncnts:

Brooke Lake Group i

(1) Slightly less than tvo years' aasesancnt vork on the Rroup (about 1370 feet of "t* drilling).

(2) Claims surrey, for one year'o work.

Claims surrey, for one year*e work.

On the Track group, all known nineral occurrences have been drilled, li is suggested that geological napping should be done aa a ireana of evaluating the claims and locating suitable locations for further assess ment drilling. Ouch napping could be used to partially fulfill assessment requirements.

Kr. lietvedt has done a fine Job in drilling and storing the core. His assistance in logging the core was much appreciated.

Gentlemen: . Atlj'g, }.lr. M t a,.C.

In reply to your letter of April 24th. , vie we forwarding herewith plan of proposed diamond drill holes and trenches on showing worked on at Mile 12, up to date. The claims at the A. C. R. track do not look very promising. There is a small Knob of irm formation at the lake, but we have boen unable to trace it further.

The olatta at Brooks Lake appear to be the most promising. The iron formation is small and badly shattered. There is a band of graphite schist

t on contact on south wall, with a zone of sbMsted rhyolite running parallel.

I sent a rough plun of possible faulting to I)oc Gallie last Fall. If it is lost, the T iron t o office should have a oopy.

toArrangements for rental of diamond drill have been made, but I am waiting from Toronto to confirm this.

The lakes are open now, and most of the snow gone. Rivers and creeks are high, in fact there was flood danger for a while. The Algona Central train from Sault could not operate for two or throe days, owing to washouts on the line.

Trusting this is the information you require.

Yours very truly,
