In September 1951 a property in the southwest corner of Township 26 Range 2fc wes brought to the attention of Jalore Mining Company, Ltd. by Mr. R. J. Anderson of Midland, Michigan* Mr. Aadereon was acting a* repre- aentatire for the owners, Mr. William Bouliere of Hank Junction, Ontario, and Messrs. A. Biagini and D* Callbant of Sault Bte. Marie, Ontario. This property was later named the Judith Range Vy Mr. Anderson.

Bone geophysical vork had been done by Mr. Anderson and his partner, Mr. Cleary. This included a self-potential surrey vhieh indicated a chemical* ly active tone approximately one and three-quarter miles long striking north* east from the township corner. Resistivity tests lead the investigators to believe that the self-potential effects were caused by a massive sulphide body.

On October 11 and 12, 1951* H. J. taylor and the writer were shown over the Judith property by Mr. Anderson and Mr. Cleary. The chemically active zone, as shown by the self-potential survey, was covered by overburden. Bow- ever, * few trenches, probably dug in the past by gold prospectors, shove**, a siliceous iron formation containing enough pyrite to give it a heavy pyrltio stain. South of the exposed iron formation, and gradational into it, is a heavy gossan eone from ten to twenty feet wide.

JUDITH IBOIl RAMQB

By

W,L. Young

This iron range WES investigated briefly by the writer and

Burt Patkau on May 22, 1952.

The range ia located in Tp 29 H 23 and Tp 28 rt 2i. It is

easily accessible by the Wa*a-Hawk and Firesand road.

Fire showings along the range were examined. The most easterly

showed imperfectly banded silica to the north which was 25 feet wide.

To thi south arid in contact was seen 15 feet of gossan, similar to that

seen at Big Laky. A traverse across this with a dip needle showed high reading for an additional 40 feet, thus inferring a total width of 55

feet. Heavy overburden made it impossible to obtain additional outcrops

in the immediate vicinity, but good limonite float was reported 500 feet

west of here after the writer's visit. Two thousand feet vest along the

strike several other outcrops were examined, All of the18 showed banded

silica with very cdnor amounts of carbonr.tr Bud sul pi ides.

The only shovdng which has any possibility of economic value

is the first one described. There is a possibility that this could e..tend

to the west for a oi^ximuui distance of 200C feet. To the east it appears

to be terminated by a fault but this may be of minor displacement.

Anderson reports a series o J' double low self potential readings across

the sand plain which he claims ray indicate an extension of the range.

If this is so, it is almost certainly out off by the Mildred Lake fault.

ReooBBendations

If an extremely favorable option could be obtained, a few

x-ray holes near the beat showing sight be advisable with an attempt

to trace the pyrite to the west. The depth of the sand plains to the

east would require a large drilling program and from the showings

seen this neama inadvisable at present.

By R* AndersonRESIDENT GEOLOGIST

SAULT STE. MARIEGeneral;

The property to be described consists of}(1) a group of 24 claims in Township 28 Range 24 held by D* Calabani

and A. Biagini, 36? Albert St., West, Sault St*; Marie7i)nt., 18 of these claims hare two years assessment done, the remaining six were staked in June 1951*

(2) a group of claims held by W* Souliere, Hawk Junction, Ont. l Claim in Township 28 Range 24, toe year assessment work done 4 Claims in " 29 " 23, staked in June 1951 l Claim in " 28 " 23, " " " "4 additional claims in Township 29 Range 23 and Township 28 Range 23 will be staked by him i'or protection and will be included.

Geophysical;Location of self-potential and resistivity traverses are shown on the

l mile * 6" map. Locations of self-potential reversals are marked in the driited area, and in the exposed area the sulphide is shown crossing the traverse at the reversal. :

The trench on 4965, 100' up the side of the hill is on the side of a 75 to 100 feet wide anomaly. The limonite samples were taken in this Bone.

In the drifted area, on the HE strikeths tone is traced by self- potential double lows. It is felt that this pattern of consistent double lows justified the wide separation between traverses. It was also necessary ^ because of swamp and lakes intervening. On traverse 6 the two lows were picked v Ap about 1000' north of where expected, and from there on traced north of i. the Wawa-Hawk road until cutcoff by the diabase area. The faulting is probably ( - due to the Mildred Lake fault (see fig. 8, Vol. LV, part 11, 1946 ODM, Iron Deposits in the District of Algoma) which, where last mapped, heads for the bend in the Firesand River. Note that due to faulting the traverse (1) along the Wawar Hawk road did not pick up the double lows as it should have done if the zone was merely bent,

Drilling Site for Drifted Area:Immediately north of the Gibson road Junction with the Wawa-Hawk road

is a low hummock of rock extending north for 250 feet in which a drill could be collared to cross section both lov.-s along which the resistivity determinations were run on the Gibson road.

A road could be bulldoze ci from the Wawa-Hawk voad lo the limonite showing in 4965 in a couple of days,

Notes on Curves;Es - s elf potential1. Wawa-Hawk road. This was the first curve run and gives the impression

of continually skirting an anomaly and this proved to be the case.2. Log Road, West portion in low potential zone with east half slowly

moving up the potential hill adjacent to Es lows,3. Gibson Road, going south from junction with Wawa-Hav;k road.

Prior to running this line there had heen a period of four weeks of no rain. The low zone apparently 1000 to 1200 feet wide is shown by 14 and 15 (ran after rain) and resistivity determination to be two parallel zones

Conclusion tIt is the writers belief that the consistent anomaly represents a

sulphide zone which is part of the Gibson wide carbonate structure.

Silica iron formation, pyrrhotite.

The Judith range is 6000 feet long with no average width being determined. The north 2000 feet was offset approximately 1000 feet to the east from the southern section of the range. Volcanic rocks are the adjoining rock types with minor diss eminated pyrite. The general strike of the l.F. i b- N300 to 40*E.

Of five showings examined by Jalore Mining Co., Ltd., only one was reported upon; the others "showed no promise".

The most easterly showed imperfectly banded silica on the north side of the T.F. which was 25 feet wide. To the south and in contact with the silica band was 15 feet of gossan. Inferred total width is 55 feet, determined by a dip needle survey, and tot*l possible length on this section, of 2000 feet. The eastern boundary is terminated by a fault. Sample of gossan assayed: Fe 34.675*; Si02 31.60*.

3 diamond drill holes totalled 345 feet.

Hole #1 intersected 5 feet of massive pyrrhotite which assayed •6*06^ Cu and
