SUMMARY

On September 30, 1977, a programme of mechanized trenching was completed on the Amax 705-01 claim group in Cleaver township.

A previously defined conductor was relocated by Radem VLF traverses and exposed in three locations 400 feet apart.

Massive to heavily disseminated sulphide mineralization within siliceous tuffaceous sediments were exposed and mapped as the cause of the electromagnetic anomaly.

INTRODUCTION

The claim group was acquired on April 7, 1975 and has since

been covered with a magnetometer, vertical loop and horizontal loop electromagnetic surveys.

This report describes the procedure and results of mapping rocks exposed by a mechanized trenching programme completed in September 1977, on the below listed mining claims.

L-429441 L-429442

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The claim group is located in Cleaver township approximately 25 miles south east of Timmins. Access to the claim group is much improved since 1975.

Logging operations extending south through Fallon township provide an excellent winter road to Little Nighthawk Lake located north of the claim group. The roads are built and maintained by G. K. Stringer (Logging Contractor) of South Porcupine.

TOPOGRAPHY AND RESOURCES

Local relief is rugged and relatively well drained with an abundance of outcrop.

The eastern claim is covered by a narrow marshy lake which

drains north into a larger unnamed lake lying south of the claim group.

The water covered claim dictates that geophysical surveys be carried out during the winter months.

Vegetation consists of poplar and birch on the high ground with thick alder and cedar near the lake edges.

PREVIOUS WORK

There have been many previous land holders in the area as

made evident by the large number of old claim posts. The most recent land holder, prior to Amax Exploration, was Noranda. That Company held a large group of claims in the early 1970's.

The present Amax claims would be in the central part of the former Noranda holdings.

Noranda carried out magnetometer and vertical loop electro magnetic surveys over the complete property.

There is no record or evidence of any previous diamond dril ling on the Amax claims.

PRESENT SURVEY

The trenching programme was completed by contractor A. Bou-

dreau of Timmins on September 30, 1977.

Before starting the trenching operations the conductor was

relocated with the use of a Radem traverse so as to locate the trench

in the most favourable location.

- 3 -

A Model-S Bombardier equipped with a hydraulic back-hoe was used to dig down through the overburden cover and construct a trench 3 to 4 feet wide at right angles to the conductor axis. After expos ing the bedrock surface, the bucket teeth are used to fracture and pry out samples of the bedrock. Samples are then taken of the con ductive material after checking with an ohmmeter. A map of the trench at a scale of l inch equals 10 feet is then prepared.

SURVEY RESULTS

Locations of each of the three trenches completed are illus trated on the accompanying property maps.

In addition, detailed sketches of the three trenches are attached.

Trench 705-01-1

Claim L-429441

Location L4N; 16+OOW

Target - Coincident magnetic, V.E.M., H.E.M. and Radem conductor

A sulphide rich horizon within tuffaceous sediments

was exposed over a width of 10 feet. Sulphides consist of > 2 Q7o combined Po and Py as bands and stringers. The zone strikes at Az 1450 and dips at -800 north.

Trench 705-01-2

Claim L-429441

Location LO; 15+10W

Target - Coincident magnetic, V.E.M., H.E.M. and Radem conductor

- 4 -

A 15 foot wide zone of Po, Py stringers in an altered felsic volcanic was exposed, flanked by siliceous tuffaceous sediments on the foot and hanging walls. A lattice work of narrow sulphide stringers accompanied by abundant quartz and car bonate mineralization constitutes the conductive unit.A strong fault-shear zone cuts through the sulphide zone at Az 1760 . The sulphide unit strikes at Az 1330 and dips -750 north.

Trench 705-01-3

Claim L-429441

Location L8N; 17+OOW

Target - Coincident magnetic and radem feature with weak V.E.M. and H.E.M. responses

The bedrock was difficult to reach and was found at the extreme range of the backhoe at 9 to 10 feet.

A 2 foot wide gossan in a sheared basic tuff was exposed on the bedrock surface as soft red mud within vertical broken plates of the tuff. The gossan was tested with an ohmmeter and was proven conductive. The zone was making abundant water and was quickly flooded, and the walls began to cave. Strike of the conductor was Az 1550 and dip -700 south.A small fault zone striking Az 880 has caused shear ing with the rocks exposed.

- 5 -

CONCLUSIONS

The trenching programme was successful in that the conductor\

was exposed and the nature of the ^ausitive) unit identified and sampled.

Assay results reveal that the sulphides sampled in Trench

705-01-02 carry anomalous copper and zinc values, copper up to 240 ppm

and zinc up to 1350 ppm.

Due to the difficulty of obtaining a sample on the bare bed

rock surface without blasting and coupled with the anomalous metal

content of the sulphides, diamond drilling or additional trenching with

balsting may be warranted as a means of obtaining the best possible

sample of the sulphides beneath the zone of surface oxidation.

SUMMARY

A horizontal loop electromagnetic survey was carried out over two claims located in Cleaver township. The claims are held by Amax Exploration Inc., and were acquired following release of an Input A.E.M. survey by the Ontario Government on April 7, 1975.

Vegetation consists of poplar and birch on the high ground

PRE:vious WORK

There have been many previous land holders in the area as

made evident by the large number of old claim posts. The most recent

land holder, prior to Amax Exploration, was Noranda. That Company

held a large group of claims in the early 1970's.

The present Amax claims would be in the central part of the

former Noranda holdings.

Noranda carried out magnetometer and vertical loop electro

magnetic surveys over the complete property.

There is no record or evidence of any previous diamond dril

ling on the Amax claims.

PRESENT SURVEY

The horizontal loop electromagnetic survey was completed by

Amax Exploration in April 1977.

An Apex Max-Min horizontal loop unit was used to complete

the survey at frequencies of 888 and 1777 cps., with a cable length

of 300 feet. A total of approximately 85 readings at two frequencies

were taken at 100 feet and 50 feet stations whenever anomalous readings

were encountered.

SURVEY RESULTS

The field data is presented in profile form with the recorded

values plotted along the line.Results of the electromagnetic survey indicates a conductor

denoted as Zone "A" extending from L4N; 6+OOE to L4S; 4+OOE with by far

the most conductive intercept being at LO; 3+OOE.

- 3 -

A one line weaker feature was also detected on L8N; 1+50E

and is referred to as Zone "B".

Using the information provided by the survey and more par

ticularly of that on LO; 3+OOE, the following parameters were deter

mined concerning Zone "A".

Strike: N-W

Length: -1200'

Width: 50'

Depth:

Dip: Near vertical, slight to south?

mhos ^ 20

Zone "B" is on strike with Zone "A" and may represent the

weaker terminus of "A". This zone is too weak to be able to measure

or establish any of the characteristics making up its composition.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Using the magnetic and vertical loop electromagnetic data

provided by prior surveys, it is seen that the horizontal loop electro

magnetic survey has confirmed and delimited the previously detected

V.E.M. conductor.Coincident to both Zones "A" and "B" is a magnetic feature

that is restricted to the conductor with magnetic and conductive in

tensity strongest at LO; 3+OOE.

It is concluded that the conductors detected as a result of

this survey are due to a bedrock source comprised of sulphide mineral

ization.Zone "A" should be tested by diamond drilling or trenching at

LO; 3+OOE to determine the cause and nature of the suspected sulphide

mineralization.
