Ret K4nnltaki Iron Range Limited
In answer to your letter requesting further information on results of work done on the iron range, I am sending you the attached summary which may be of interest to you.
As you are probably aware there is still much more drilling to do to give anywhere near the' accurate picture of size, s t rae tu re and value of the East body. In doing the first drilling at 800 foot intervals our main interest was to see if grade and tonnage indicated might be sufficient to Justify a more detailed programme. While the grade of ore is somewhat low under present conditions we believe the favourable location close to rail lines, gas line, power and other services, indicates the advisability of further drilling to prove tonnage and grade*
If you should wish nore detailed information please give me a 'phone call.
Yours very truly,
WCR/pa W. C. Ringsleben

SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF EXPLORATION
DURING 196*f AND 1965 ON THE
PROPERTY OF MINNITAKI IRON RANGE LIMITED
January lith, 1967 III!
52G13NWM26 52G13NWM1301 PARNES LAKE OSO
There are three areas along the strike of the iron formation vhere anomalies with readings of over 30,000 gammas suggest important amounts of magnetite. These are:
1. Main or Eastern zone extending from section 17,000 E to section 26,800. This zone commences one mile east of the south end ofDallas Lake.
2. Kiddle zone between sections 7,700 and 9,800, which is one-half mile south of Dallas Lake.
3. We:;t zone from 8,^)0 ft east to 16,UOO ft east of August Lake.
The rost easterly or Main zone occurs on a ridge one-half mile south of Twill Lake, where for a distance of 3,000 feet several bands across an 800 foot width make up at least 50 percent of the formation. This can be extended to the east another mile where the magnetometer readings indicate widths may be 150 feet to 250 feet. The ridge is 100 feet to 200 feet above the level of Twill Lake.
The Main zone includes two anomalous areas between sections 20,800 E and 23,1*00 E which have not been explored. They lie immed iately east and south of the wide section and drilling will be re quired to prove size and grade. On these two lenses the magnetometer readings indicate lengths of 1,000 feet and 1,300 feet with widths of 100 feet to 125 feet.
Drilling in the Main zone was done at 800 ft intervals between sections 17,200 E and 20,^00 E. No. 10 ho}e was drilled on the eastern extension of this zone on section 23,600 E. The anomaly continues another 3,200 feet to the east.
Drilling is not finished but based on the magnetometer survey which suggests a certain amount of continuity of the main iron bands between drill holes a reasonable estimate of 200,000 tons per vertical foot is indicated. , The width of iron formation which might be mined in a pit would vary between 200 feet on the east end and 175 feet to 850 feet on the west part. The average assay of the drill core sections is between 18# to 19/S acid soluble iron. All these figures are tentative and subject to revision when drilling of the body is completed at closer intervals.
No sampling or drilling has been done on the Middle and Western zones. The magnetometer survey on the Middle zone indicates the iron formation is 200 to **00 feet wide for a length of 800 feet but narrows quickly going westward to approximately 50 feet for a length of 1,300 feet. While this is a small body the high magnetometer readings suggest it may contain some good grade material.
