United MacPie Mines Limited, Suite\305-100 Adelaide Street Vest,

"i* Ontario**

This report describes the results of a program

of geophysical and geological survey conducted by Geo-

Technical Development Co* Limited on part of your prop

erty located in Tribag area* The survey was carried out

In July and August* 1963, and the results are depleted

on Plan No. l, accompanying this report*

PROPERTY

The property is comprised of the following thirty-

three (33) claims i

S.3.M. 65798 to 65805, Inclusive; S.S.M, 66391 to 66315, inclusive.

The claims are contiguous and all in Township 28,

Range 13, Sault Ste, Marie Mining Division, Ontario.

Six of these claims are water claims or partly water

claims, covering the northeast part of Pancake Lake.

The total area of these thirty-three claims is in

the order of l,lj.OO acres. The geophysical survey covered

the south part, the east-central part, and the northeast

part of the claim group - an area of approximately 700 acres.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

The claim group is about 1-1/2 to 2 miles due west

of the property of Tribag Mining Co., and has its west

boundary along the west boundary of Township 29, Range 13*

Ontario, Mamalnu* Hill, located at about 2 miles to the

aouth of Pancake Lake, la 1,958 feet In height, 1,356 feet

above Lake Superior and 863 feet above Pancake Lake,

The property covera the lower ground, known aa

Pancake Flat, between Pancake Lake and Middle Pancake Lake,

The survey covered the heart of this swampy Flat with

"lalands" and bordera of hardwood hilla which rise up to

about 100 and more feet above the Flat. There are numeroua

creeks and streams*

GENERAL GEOLOGY

Regional geology of the Batehawana area is on Map

35b, accompanying the 35th. Annual Report, Vol. 35. Pt.2,

1926, Ontario Department of Mines. This map indicates

that the property is underlain by granite, near the boundary

of a batholith to a belt of greonstonea with diabase, gabbro

and diorite and a few flows of basalt*

Aeromagnetic maps by iron companies indicate that

there la a northwesterly fault eone running across the north

part of the property Is at the Junction of several poss

ible cross-faults. The northwesterly fault mentioned

above appears to be the continuation of a northwesterly

fault which runs across the property of Ajax Minerals

and off-sotted by the northeasterly major fault*

ECONOMIC QEOLOQY

The area was explored for iron in the latter part

of the nineteenth century, and copper occurrences have been

known for many years. The current Interests are principally

because of the recent disclosure of large tonnage possibilities

of good grade copper on the Tribag property.

According to S.V. Burr, former geologist for Tribag

Mining Co. (personal communication), copper mineralization

has been found on the Trlbag ground along a length of over

two miles within the granite and within the greenstone complex

up to 1/2 mile south of the granite. According to the Northern

Miner, May 23, 1963, recent reassessment of thn geological

conditions on the Tribag ground together with a study of the

results of aeromagnetic surveys, have led to a conclusion that

the favourable brecciated areas ara not breccia pipes but may

be breov ; ^44 zones associated with major zones of faulting.

While structural interpretation is continuing. Dr. 3. Malouf,

(Northern Miner, July lith, 1963) pointed out that the weal

defined fractures striking northwest-southeast and another

set trending northeast are important features.

^thirty three-(33) claim group hers concerned Is located

within 2 miles to the same contact indicated on Map 3fjb

and there are old copper showings located within one mile

to the south along the south shore of Pancake Lake*

QEOLOOY OBSERVED ON THE PROPERTY

Outcrops observed on the property are limited to

the small areas of hills* These are as a rule, leucocratic

granite and diabase*

The leucocratic granite is marked by irregular

quartz crystals on the weathered surface. Occasionally

there are reddish granite with K-feldopar and sometimes

dioritic granite near their contact to diabase. The dia

base is commonly aphanitic at the contact.

The diabase formers a rule, Keweenawan non-porphyritio

dikes#o There is one small boss or dike of porphyritic

diabase located at L.O-00, 3,200 to 3,^00 north. A calcite

vein of one inch thick is located at a northeasterly fracture

outside the surveyed area, along the claim line between

Claims 6630)1 and 66303. One loose boulder of impure cal

cite found near here, is over one foot thick. The granite

here is out by many epidote veins.

There are many veins of bull quartz found cutting

the granite on the property* A six foot wide quarts vein

been sent;out for gold assay*

During the geological reconnaissance, the only sul

phide observed was in a diorltic granite at L.O-00, 3*100

north, 30 feet west. This is apparently Pe-sulphide form

ing spooks in the slightly altered dioritio granite*

The outcrop geology indicated that an altered cone

is located along the north part of Claims 66309 and 663014.,

and extends into the middle section of Claim 66303 where

the granite is cut by many epidote veins.

GEOPHYSICAL saRVEY RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION

The magnetometer survey outlined several narrow

magnetic zones* These are in the order from 1,000 to

1|,000 gammas above background over observed granite, in

the order of 900 to l,lj.OO gammas. Many of these magnetic

zones have the characteristics of diabase dikes and out

crops of diabase. Those Eones are therefore definitely

due to diabase dikes and are marked (D) on the accompany

ing plan* When no outcrop was observed along a magnetic

zone which has a dike shaped form, the zone is inferred as

diabase dike and marked (D?), When a magnetic zone is

irregular in shape and no outcrop was observed, it is

marked as a magnetic anomaly such an (M-l), and described

as follows?

Magnetic anomaly M-l is located at the south part

M-2 It located at the central part Of the surveyed

area just south of Pancake River* This anomaly la poss

ibly the eastern continuation of the diabase dike found

to the west of Pancake River but separated by a cross-

fault* However, the fact that thla anomaly Is located just

within lower ground and the fact that the eastern section

does not show a dike shaped structure* Indicates the poss

ibility of having a different Intrusive or structure In

this anomalous area.

It should be noted uere that the magnetic readings

over porphyritic diabase are In the same order as higher

ranged granite (about 1,350 gammas)*

Fault structures observed and inferred from magnetic

data and topography are depleted on the plan accompanying

this report* Apart from the many diabase dikes, there are

two outstanding faults located at the northeast part of

the property. One is a northeasterly fault or shear which

cuts across four claims, and one is a north-south fault

which appears to be a normal fault.

conducting point near the junction of the above-said two. ; . i ,,- j - . f

The electromagnetic survey has encountered two* " . ' ' ' , t A '

marginal "ci-oss-overs", -at ; north and south of M-l, along

L*O-00. These "cross-overa" could bo accounted for byX i t

the rugged topography plus the limitation of the instrument

operation. However, these inconclusive indications and

M-l, point to the importance of the lake claims of the

•"

property*

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The survey and check reconnaissance outlined many

diabasic dikes cutting granite on the property. These

dikes accounted for most of the magnetic zones but two

of which marked "M-l" and "K-2" on tho plan accompanying

this report. These two magnetic zones are inferred as

diabase or other basic intrusivea different from a simple

dike structure*

Two interesting faults are inferred to be located

at the northeast part of the property* A strong electro

magnetic oonduotor encountered near the junction of these

. two faults, merits test diamond drilling* However* prior

Qeooheaioal Soil Sampling Data

A geochemical soil sampling traverse

was made across the south part of the property

where the overburden appears to be shallow.

Hot method was used for the testing of the

samples and the results are plotted on the plan

accompanying this report in parts of copper per

million. Although the traverse encountered no

appreciable anomalous conditions, the area of

Magnetic anomaly M-l is apparently associated

with higher indications, tip to 125 parta per

million* It is recommended to covor this part

of the' property by geochemical soil sampling

at due time*
