Claims:- 41 unpatented claims as -follows!
L 856372-856398 inclusive
L 856663-856676 inclusive
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The property is located 3 km (2 mi) south of Lake Abitibi in
Lamplugh Township, 58 km (36 mi) northeast o-f Kirkland Lake in
northeastern Ontario. Access to the property is via Highway 101
east i or 52 km (32 mi) -from Matheson, Ontario and north from the
highway along a logging road for 5 km (3 mi) to the claims.
EXPLORATION HISTORY
The claims on strike to the east and west were -flown with
airborne magnetic and MLF-EM surveys -for Kerr Add! si on Mines
Limited in 1985 by Dighem Surveys and Processing Inc. There is no
other record o-f mineral exploration in the area of the claims.
The area was mapped by the Ontario Geological Survey
(OGS-Jensen-Map P.2433-1982, Lightning River Area). The area was
flown by the Ontario Geological Survey using the Dues t or Input
System with flight lines at approximately 175 m to produce an
electromagnetic and a total intensity magnetic survey (Map 80589,
Matheson Black River Area, Lamplugh Township, 1984).
In 1986 the present claim group was covered with ground
magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys.
GENERAL GEOLOGY
The property is located in the Abitibi Volcanic Belt o-f
Northeastern Ontario. The claims are underlain by basic
volcanics, iron-rich and magnesium-rich mafic volcanics that
possibly have interflow sediments. The North Branch of the Destor
Porcupine Fault zone strikes through the southern part of the
property at 120 degrees and dips steeply south. The mafic

volcanics to the north of this fault are Stoughton-Roquemaure
Group rocks and the rocks to the south of this fault are Hunter
Group rocks (Jensen L.S.- 1983 - OGS Map P.2433: Lightning River-
Area) .
The strike of the rocks on the property is 120 degrees and
dipping steeply south.
LITHOLOGY
On the Lightning River Property the rocks of Archean age strike
at 120 degrees and dip 60 degrees south.
These rocks consist of felsic tuff, tholeiitic basalt, and
Matachewan diabase.
The tholeiitic basalts are medium to dark green in color , very
fine to medium grained, and may be schistose, pillowed,
variolitic, fragmental, silicified, brecciated, dioritic or
chloritic. The rocks are massive or schistose and weather light
to med i urn brown.
The tholeiitic basalts are divided into iron-rich and magnesium-
rich. The color is black or dark green respectively.
The felsic (dacitic) tuff is light green in color, very fine
grained, fragmental and weathers light brown.
The diabase is dark green coarse-grained, massive and altered
with strong chlorite alteration.
The diorite is dark green color, -fine to coarse-grained,
amygdaloidal, massive and altered mainly to chlorite.
The rocks in the group described above probably belong to the
Stoughton-Roquemaure Group.
GEOLOGY AND MINERALIZATION
A series of strike faults that are parallel to the North Branch
of the Destor Porcupine Fault trend through the central portion
of the property and offset a number of northeast trending diabase
dikes.
Pyri t i c mineralization, less than 2 X, is scattered throughout
the central portion of the area. Assays for gold mineralization
in six samples yielded up to 3 p.p.b. (Table 1).
GEOLOGICAL MAPPING
During the period from May 24 to June 30,1986 Kevin Cright of
Kirkland Lake, Ontario located outcrop and claim posts on the
property. The writer from August 5 to 11 and again from August
22 to 25,1986 mapped the outcrops geologically.
The grid consists of a total of 63.32 line kms of picket line.

SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY
During the period -from September 8 to 30,1986 Kevin Cr i gh t
of Kirkland Lake, Ontario collected 703 humus soil samples.
The samples were analyzed -for gold and arsenic by X-Ray Assay
Laboratories of Don Mills, Ontario using the Neutron Activation
method.
Of the 703 samples analyzed only 25 humus samples were anomalous
for gold with the threshold being in excess of 9 p.p.b. and 152
samples anomalous for arsenic. The background is 5 ppb for gold
and 8 ppm for arsenic.
CONCLUSIONS
The numerous strike faults in the central portion of the grid
are a target area for gold mineralization. The area was sampled
and analyzed for gold and arsenic in humus. The anomalous gold
values do not correspond to the anomalous arsenic values in the
swamp areas and these anomalies are discounted. Two gold and
arsenic anomalies that correlate on the baseline from 31 E to 33E
and again on 41E are significant and warrant follow-up.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The two gold-arsenic anomalies in soil on the baseline at 31 E and
on 41E warrant follow-up with basal till sampling.

SAMPLE No. 11-29E-225S (hand sample A thin section)
SUMMARY
The sample is dominated by a pervasive alteration assemblage, consisting mainly of chlorite * sericite * epidote * quartz. The only fresh minerals remaining are clinopyroxenes and" a small amount of plagioclase, suggesting that the original composition was possibly a dolerite, although the extent of the alteration makes this very speculative.
MINERALOGY
Fine-Grained Alteration Minerals, consisting of:
40ft Sericite: the bulk of the alteration consist of microcrystalline sericite (or "saussurite"), probably mainly altering plagioclase.
Chlorite: fibrous, Prussian blue interference colours, green pleochroism.
Epidote: brownish, high birefringent material at the cores of altered plagioclase laths (part of the "saussurite" alteration assemblage).
Accessory Sphene.
257* Clinopyroxene: the only relatively fresh mineral remaining in the thin section; anhedral patches of fresh clinopyroxene, ave. 0.5 to 1.0 mm, are apparently unaltered remnants of considerably coarser clinopyroxene grains, many enclosing totally altered (saussuritized) laths of plagioclase (?); simple twins and herringbone exsolution texture typical of augite is visible even in the altered parts of the clinopyroxene grains.
5 0̂ Quartz: probably authigenic, but possibly primary; anhedral, with metamorphic (sutured) grain boundaries and undulatory extinction.
5/S Opaques: mainly anhedral, interstitial; some fairly coarse masses (up to l mm); some opaques are associated directly with quartz.
Ace. Plagioclase: very little fresh plagioclase remains (possibly 5X of the rock), but much of the saussuritized material was probably originally plagioclase; it occurs in lath-like or bladed pseudomorphs or remnants, ave. 0.5 to 0.8 mm in length, many partially enclosed by coarse clinopyroxenes.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The original igneous texture was probably intersertal or subophitic, i.e., plagioclase laths partially enclosed by coarse poikilitic clinopyroxenes, with or without interstitial glassy material.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 10-23E-075N (hand sample 8 thin section)
SUMMARY
This sample is similar to #8-22E-625N in mineralogy (plagioclase * clinopyroxene dominant), but not in texture. This sample lacks igneous intergranular textures, and is most likely a tuff. Propylitization and saussuritization are pervasive.
MINERALOGY
507o Feldspar: mainly plagioclase, although it is difficult to tell if other feldspars are present because of the extensive alteration and fairly fine grain size; most are 0.2 mm, although grain size ranges up to l mm.
30% Chlorite: fibrous, replacing glassy matrix.
157o Clinopyroxene: subhedral phenocrysts, up to 0.5 mm.
Ace. "Saussurite": extremely fine sericite * carbonate * epidote alteration.
Tr. Opaques: very fine-grained.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The lack of intergranular igneous texture and the range of grain sizes suggests that this is a tuff, with pervasive propylitic and saussuritic alteration.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 9-24E-150N (hand sample S thin section)
SUMMARY
This is a felsic volcanic, probably dacite, consisting of angular fragments of feldspar and quartz in a small amount of glassy matrix material. The overall texture suggests a tuff or tuffaceous sediment. The sample has been pervasively altered to chlorite * sericite * epidote.
MINERALOGY
Angular Fragments, consisting of:
Feldspar: mainly plagioclase, but the proportions are difficult to determine because of the fine grain size and degree of alteration; ave. 0.1 mm, subhedral to anhedral angular fragments; occasional coarser grains (l mm).
453S Quartz: ave. 0.1 mm, angular fragments; quartz also occurs in fine, cross-cutting veinlets.
5?o Clinopyroxene: mainly concentrated in one layer.
Matrix Material: glassy or extremely fine-grained (cryptocrystalline), mainly altered to chlorite * sericite * epidote.
Ace. Opaques: very fine-grained.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The angularity of the fragments, range of grain sizes, suggestion of layering, concentration of minerals into layers (e.g., clinopyroxene), and lack of igneous textures combine to suggest that this sample represents a tuff or tuffaceous sediment, probably of approximately dacitic composition. Propylitic alteration and sericitization are pervasive.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 17-9E-450N (hand sample S thin section)
SUMMARY
This sample consist of devitrified glass with ghost relicts of phenocrysts, now entirely replaced by chlorite * opaques * quartz ^ carbonate.
MINERALOGY
BQ7, Devitrified Glass: consists of variolitic needles of feldspar (?), and branching, feathery crystallites; very fine, propylitic alteration (chlorite * carbonate * epidote) is pervasive.
207o Relict Phenocrysts: probably originally clinopyroxene;euhedral, but most appear stretched, suggesting flow at high temperatures (sketch); most are skeletal "hopper" crystals, indicating very rapid cooling rates; all phenocrysts are totally replaced by chlorite * opaques * quartz * carbonate.
Tr. Opaques: very fine-grained; approx. 755S hematite; associated with alteration of phenocrysts.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The overall texture is typical of devitrified glassy material, with relicts of hopper crystals. Intense veining at one end of the thin section shows the beginning of the nodular texture described in thin section I7-14E-050N.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 8-22E-625N (hand sample ft thin section)
SUMMARY
This sample is a hydrothermal l y altered amygdaloidal rock. It consists mainly of plagioclase feldspar laths with interstitial glass and clinopyroxene; the bulk composition is difficult to determine without chemical analysis of the glassy areas, but the phenocryst assemblage suggests that it falls somewhere in the range of diorite to diabase. The glassy areas are now completely altered, mainly to chlorite. The vesicles have been filled with chlorite * quartz * cryptocrystalline carbonate, which effervesces in HC1 in the hand sample.
MINERALOGY
Plagioclase: subhedral laths, ave. 0.4 mm in length; pervasively sericitized.
Chlorite: fibrous; replacing glassy, interstitial areas, and filling vesicles.
20X Clinopyroxene: subhedral to anhedral, ave. 0,2 mm; both glass and clinopyroxene are interstitial to plagioclase laths.
Ace. Quartz: filling vesicles.
Ace. Calcite: filling vesicles (effervesces in HC1); brownish, cryptocrystalline material.
Tr. Opaques: very fine-grained.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The igneous texture is intersertal to intergranular, i.e. it consists of plagioclase laths with interstitial clinopyroxene and glass. There are a few vesicles, now filled with a mixture of chlorite -i- quartz * calcite. Sericitization and chloritization is pervasive.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 7-14E-050N (hand sample ft thin section)
SUMMARY
This is a holohyaline rock, similar in some respects to I4-4E-225N, but much more pervasively altered. Part of the thin section cuts a vein system, in which several generations of veinlets coalesce. The veins contain fibrous chlorite * calcite * epidote * quartz.
MINERALOGY
607s Glass: brownish, devitrified glass containing feathery- textured crystallites; similar to the glassy matrix in #4-4E-225N; the glass is pervasively altered.
40X Vein-filling Material, consisting of:
40X Chlorite: fibrous, strongly pleochroic green to colourless; both in veinlets and altering the rare phenocrysts.
Calcite: effervesces in HC1.
Epidote: both in veinlets and associated with opaques.
Quartz: in veinlets, occurs as microscopic intergrowth of quartz * chlorite.
Ace. Phenocrysts: probably originally clinopyroxene, now completely replaced by chlorite or chlorite * quartz * epidote * calcite.
Ace. Opaques: very fine-grained; associated with chlorite * epidote; one veinlet is opaque-rich.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The thin section is dominated by devitrified glassy material, consisting of branching, feathery crystallites. Where the system of veins cuts the thin section, the glassy material is broken into rounded fragments floating in a matrix of fibrous chlorite, resulting in a nodular texture.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 4-4E-225N (hand sample S thin section)
SUMMARY
This sample is almost holohyaline (entirely glassy), and the bulk composition of the rock is therefore not determinable using the microscope alone. Veinlets, containing mainly quartz * carbonate * epidote * chlorite, account for only Z-3% of the volume of the rock. The only crystals present are very elongated chain-like pyroxenes, resulting from extremely rapid cooling (an even faster cooling rate than samples 2-OE-2N and 3-4E-125N).
MINERALOGY
^01 Glassy Matrix, consisting of: devitrified glass filled with feathery-textured micro! ites.
57o Pyroxene: elongated, skeletal "chain-textured" pyroxene crystals (sketch #1); this crystal form has been shown experimentally to result from extremely rapid cooling rates, e.g. 10 0C per hour (Lofgren, 1980; Physics of Magmatic Processes); some of the branching, feathery crystallites in the glassy matrix are also typical of rapidly cooled pyroxene, although they are too fine to be positively identified as such.
2-31 Vein-filling Material, consisting of:
Carbonate.
Quartz.
207* Chlorite: in veinlets and replacing phenocrysts; fibrous; green, pleochroic; some is iron-stained.
107, Epidote: both in veinlets and associated with opaques.
Tr. Opaques: associated with carbonate and epidote; mostly very fine-grained (e. g. 0.1 mm and less); pyrite is visible in the hand sample; some hematite among opaques in thin section.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The sample is dominated by branching, feathery crystallites formed in the process of devitrification of the glassy matrix. Veinlets containing a propylitic alteration assemblage are present, but they are very fine and account for only a small percentage of the volume of the rock.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 2-OE-2N (hand sample X thin section)
SUMMARY
This sample is hypocrystalline, i.e. it contains some phenocrysts (probably of clinopyroxene; see below) within a glassy matrix. The glass has devitrified, and consists of feathery- textured crystallites, and variolitic needles of feldspar. The composition of the sample is difficult to determine without chemical analysis, because of the scarcity of crystalline material, but the phenocryst assemblage and textures are typical of a rapidly cooled andesite or basaltic andesite, with a propylitic alteration assemblage.
MINERALOGY
Glassy Matrix, consisting of:
W0/, Feldspar: radiating needle-like crystallites, probably of albite; ave. 0.5 mm in length; (see below, textural description).
90X Devitrified Glass: feathery-textured crystallites, typical of devitrified glass; appears dusky grey to greyish-brown in both plane polarized light and crossed polarizers (non-crystalline).
Pyroxene Phenocrysts: euhedral "hopper" crystals (see description below); most are entirely replaced by chlorite, but highly birefringent cores can still be seen in some of the crystals; the high birefringence, and the euhedral shape of the phenocrysts indicates that the majority or all of them are pyroxenes, probably augite, although it is possible that some olivine may also have been present in the phenocryst assemblage (which would make the sample a basaltic andesite instead of an andesite); chemical analysis would be necessary to resolve this question.
ID.% Vein-filling Material, consisting of:
757o Quartz: undulatory extinction, sutured grain boundaries, and very fine kink banding indicate some strain on the quartz.
2M Chlorite: very fine-grained, almost non-birefringent; pale green in plane polarized light.
5% Sericite: very fine-grained (microcrystalline) white micaceous alteration mineral.
Ace. Carbonate: probably calcite, but there is so little present that it does not obviously effervesce in HC1.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The presence of cross-cutting veinlets throughout the sample, with the mineral assemblage described above, suggests propylitic style of alteration, although the same mineral assemblage can also be produced simply during the cooling history of an andesitic or basaltic volcanic pile. The sample is hypocrystalline, with augite phenocrysts "floating" in a devitrified glassy matrix. The forms of the phenocrysts are typical of extremely rapidly cooled "hopper" crystals (sketch #1). The matrix itself consists of radiating or randomly oriented needles of albite, the "variolitic" texture shown in sketch #2, and feathery-textured crystallites, sketch #3, both of which are textures typical of devitrifying glass. The system of veinlets has clearly altered the composition of the glassy matrix, through leaching and/or addition of components - areas within the glass which border on the veinlets are lighter in aspect than the areas in between (sketch #4) (this can easily be seen by holding the thin section up to the light.
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONGeoplastech, Inc.
SAMPLE No. 3-4E-125N (hand sample 8, thin section)
SUMMARY
This sample is hypocrystalline, possibly andesitic in composition, although there are too few crystals present to be sure without chemical analysis. The alteration assemblage is propylitic.
MINERALOGY
857o Glassy Matrix, consisting of:
95X Devitrified Glass: feathery-textured crystallites, with some spherulitic concentrations of branching or feathery crystallites radiating from a core point; the spherulites {sketch #1), which are visible in hand sample, contain cores of carbonate, and effervesce noticeably in HC1.
W Feldspar: variolitic needles, probably albite, are concentrated mainly within the spherulites described above.
Pyroxene Phenocrysts: very little of the original pyroxene is left - the majority of the phenocrysts have been replaced by a mixture of carbonate -i- quartz * chlorite; phenocrysts are typically 0.5 to l mm in length, "with typical "hopper" morphology, indicating extremely rapid cooling (see sketch 12).
Vein-filling Material, consisting of:
Carbonate.
Quartz: crack S seal texture (see below).
Chlorite: fibrous, with striking Prussian blue birefringence.
5X Unidentified Fibrous Mineral: possibly pyrophyllite, or a serpentine mineral.
TEXTURAL DESCRIPTION
The sample is cross-cut by several generations of very fine (e.g. 0.1 - 0.3 mm across) veinlets, carrying mainly quartz * carbonate * chlorite. The quartz veinlets display "crack and seal" texture (sketch #3), indicating that the altering hydrothermal fluids probably moved through the rock in pulses.
