Summary and Conclusions:

During June 1982, a program of soil geochemistry,

geological mapping, and magnetometer surveys were con

ducted on the Tib Lake intrusive.

The work on the Tib Lake intrusive was successful in

tracing a pegmatitic and weakly sulfidic horizon from the

Kuhner showing to the east along the southern margin of

the intrusive. This sulfide horizon was defined by the

geological mapping and soil geochemistry. No significant

amounts of PGM were located in the horizon.

2.O Recommendations:

No further work is warranted in the Tib Lake area

because of the lack of encouragement gained from the

1982 program.

3.0 Introduction:

Westmin Resources Limited initiated the Platinum Group

Metals (PGM) Generative Program in 1981 to explore the

Canadian Shield for economic deposits of PGM.

In 1982 the PGM Generative Project concentrated on

an evaluation of the Tib Lake Mafic intrusive in the Lac

des Iles Area of Northwestern Ontario (Figure 1).

The following report deals with the results of the

1982 geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys con

ducted on the Tib Lake Area.

4.0 Northwestern Ontario:

In 1982, geological, geochemical and geophysical

surveys were conducted over claims (TB 645906 - 645915)

covering the southern portion of the Tib Lake intrusive

located in the Lac des Iles area of Northwestern Ontario

(Figure 2). The claims were staked as part of an evalu

ation of a property owned by Knute Kuhner of Thunder Bay,

Ontario and the work was conducted following the staking

of the claims. The intrusive is located approximately

80 kilometers northwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within

25 kilometers of the Lac des Iles PGM deposit.

Access to the area was gained by utilizing the

logging roads of Great Lakes Forest Products Ltd. A

camp was established at the northern end of Tib Lake

to facilitate the exploration program.

The topography of the area examined is relatively

flat with the relief generally less than 15 meters.

Several people were involved in the exploration

program conducted on the Tib Lake property.

4.1 Regional Geology of the Lac des Iles Area:

Geologically the Lac des Iles area is underlain by Archean

metavolcanics, metasediments, granitic, mafic, and ultramafic

intrusives which are locally intruded by Proterozoic mafic

rocks tTable 2, Figure 3). The metasedimentary and meta-

volcanic rocks form NE-SW trending belts. Numerous Archean

mafic and ultramafic intrusives are located within the area.

The largest of these intrusives is the Lac des Iles intrusive

which consists of an ultramafic core and the eastern and

western gabbros. The most significant from an economic view

point is the western gabbro which hosts the Lac des Iles PGM

deposit. The western gabbro (Dunning, 1979) is a layered

intrusive with layers of gabbro, norite, clinopyroxenite

and anorthosite. The unit is generally coarse-grained

with many pegmatitic pods and lenses. The PGM minerali

zation is commonly found in Cu-Ni bearing sulfides assoc

iated with these pegmatitic horizons. The objective of

the 1982 work program conducted on the Tib Lake property

was to define mafic pegmatitic horizons in the Tib Lake

property and any PGM bearing sulfide zones associated

with the mafic pegmatites.

5.0 Tib Lake Intrusive:

During the period June 3 to June 15, 1982, a program

of geological mapping, geochemical and ground magnetometer

surveys was conducted on the southern portion of the

intrusive.

1) An east-west baseline was established in the area

and compassed topo chained lines were established

at 100 meter intervals along the baseline.

2) Geochemical soil samples (A horizon) were

collected at 50 meter intervals along the

lines. A total of 313 samples were collected

over the nine contiguous claims.

3) All outcrops were mapped and prospected for

visible sulfide mineralization using the grid.

8,

4) A ground magnetometer survey utilizing the EDA PPM

300/400 proton precession magnetometer system was

carried out over the same grid.

Technical details for the various surveys are summarized

in Appendix 1.

5.1 Previous Work:

The Tib Lake intrusive is located approximately 15

kilometers to the west of the Lac des Iles PGM deposit

and covers an area of 24 square kilometers. Previous work

on the intrusive located two Cu-Ni sulfide occurrences

(K. Kuhner showings) 630 ppb Pd). The main purpose of the

exploration on Tib Lake was to trace the mineralization from

the known showings with the aim of locating higher grade

mineralization.

5.2 Results:

5.2.1 Geological Mapping

The Tib Lake area was previously mapped by L. Kaye

for the O.D.M. In 1982, the property was mapped by P.

Nicholls and N. Jefferies, using north-south lines spaced

100 meters apart, along a cut east-west baseline. The

results of the geological mapping are presented on Figure 4

at a scale of 1:5,000.

Outcrop exposure in the area is approximately 10 - 2 0%

with much of the remaining area covered by overburden. The

overburden is glacially derived and is considered to be

relatively thin on the property due to the number of out

crops located. The glacier moved from the northeast to the

southwest in the Tib Lake area.

Most of the property is underlain by a gabbroic in

trusive (Figure 4). This intrusive was interpreted as late

Proterozoic in age by Kaye (1966). The present geological

mapping indicates that the gabbro is probably Archean in age

due to the fact that it is intruded by granitic rocks at

various localities and the primary banding of the gabbroic

intrusive is steeply dipping. The contact between the

gabbro and granite is located at or near the southern border

of the property.

The gabbro is locally well-banded (layered) with the

layering trending in an east-west direction and generally

dipping from 40 0 to 80 0 to the north. In the area covered

by,the property the gabbro consists of two phases. The

most southerly (possibly stratigraphically the oldest)

phase is medium to coarse-grained gabbro with pods of peg

matitic gabbro and numerous occurrences of sulfides. The

sulfides present are pyrite with minor chalcopyrite and

pyrrhotite. This coarse-grained phase may be repeated by

folding at the northeastern portion of the property. The

coarser-grained phase appears to represent the basal portion

10.

of gabbroic intrusive and is in contact with and intruded

by the granitic rocks.

The second phase of the gabbroic intrusive is generally

a fine to medium-grained gabbro that does not contain any

pegmatitic gabbro pods or sulfides but is commonly iron-

stained.

5.2.2 Geochemistry

During the period June 5 to June 13, 1982, soil samples

(313) were collected over the Tib Lake property. The soil

samples were taken from the A horizon of the soil profile

and analysed for Ni and Cu content by Atomic Absorption

method by X-Ray Assay Laboratories, in Don Mills, Ontario.

The results of the soil geochemical surveys (Appendix 2)

are presented on Figures 5 and 6 at a scale of 1:5,000.

The geochemical results have been statistically

treated and sub-divided into the following geochemical

classes:

Background - ^.70th percentile

Elevated Background - 70th ** 90th percentile

Positive - 90th^95th percentile

Anomalous - 9 5th ̂ .9 8th percentile

A summary of the statistical parameters for the surveys

is presented in Table 2 and the results have been contoured

using the 70th, 90th, 95th and 98th percentile values as

contours (Figures 5 and 6) for the survey results.

The contoured results for both the Ni and Cu contents

of the soils show several features in common and the follow

ing conclusions can be from these results.

1) The values in the anomalous range (>95th percentile)

for both Cu and Ni show only spot highs and give little in

dication of the trend of mineralization.

2) Elevated background and positive values show

definite east-west trends that appear to map out the favour

able PGM bearing horizons within the intrusive as well as

horizons containing above background values of Cu and Ni.

3) The geochemical patterns do appear to be mapping

the bedrock geology with fair accuracy and are not greatly

influenced by glacial dispersion. The reason that soil

geochemistry appears to be an excellent exploration tool in

this area is attributed to the thin overburden cover which

means that much of the soil is essentially in place.

4) Seven rock samples were collected for assay

(Table 3) from sulfide occurrenpes. The results of these

assays were negative (Figure 4).

5.2.3 Magnetometer Survey

The Tib Lake grid was surveyed using the EDA PPM 30O/

400 proton precession magnetometer system. The readings

were collected in the field using the PPM 300 field mag

netometer and the field readings were corrected for diurnal

variation at the end of each survey day by the PPM 400 base

station magnetometer that was set-up at the camp. The

corrected values were plotted at a scale of 1:5,000 and are

presented on Figure 7. The magnetic gradient in the survey

area is high and the data has been contoured using 62,000

and 65,000 gamma contour values. The contoured results show

the following:

1) Units within the gabbroic intrusion trend approxi

mately east-west.

2) The main PGM rich (K. Kuhner showing) showings

are located in areas of low magnetic response (^62,000

gammas) while some of the barren sulfide occurrences are

located in areas of higher magnetic response.

resulting data on the high visibility LCD. This unit has automatic power-off capability to prevent the unnecessary consumption of power. The standard sensor attached to the main electronics console leaves the operator with complete freedom from cables and the incessant problems they create. This unit can be upgraded at a .later date to higher capability levels by adding additional electronics,, memory and software subroutines.

PPM-300 Total Field Magnetometer

This model is the most advanced field magnetometer in the world. In addition to providing the total field magnitude and time, it also records on its internal solid state memory, the grid co-ordinates (line and station) and reading error. The non volatile memory can store up to 700 data blocks, therefore eliminating any need to record data manually. Accumulated data is regularly transferred into either of two Data Collection Units, the DCU-100 Thermal Printer or the DCU-200 Magnetic Cassette Recorder. The use of the latter unit permits the complete computer handling of data which includes background and diurnal corrections, automatic plotting and routine geophysical interpretation.

PPM-400 Base Station Magnetometer

This integral sensor and console package is the first magnet ometer specifically designed for base station applications, which include airborne and ground survey corrections. It's unique configuration allows it to be set up above the ground and away from hazards and local magnetic interferences. Unlike other base station magnetometers which have a limited number of switch selected sample periods and limited versatility, the PPM-400 is completely programmable through its keypad. This includes operator selection of either relative (differential) or absolute measurements. As in the PPM-300, all data is stored internally in a high capacity non-volatile memory which is transferred periodically into either the DCU-100 or DCU-200. Also unique to this instrument is a "snooze" alarm to conserve power. In simple terms, the microprocessor acts as an alarm clock and turns power-draining circuits off following each reading and automatically powers

. up just prior to taking a subsequent reading.

PPM-500 Magnetic Gradiometer

With a sensitivity of better than 0.1 nT per metre, the PPM-500 represents the world's first inexpensive high reliability vertical

f From j

Soil geochemistry surveys were conducted on the Lac des

Iles area in Northwestern Ontario to outline Cu-Ni sulfide hori

zons associated with PGM mineralization.

The Lac des Iles area was considered suitable for soil

geochemical surveys because the overburden is relatively thin

and much of the soil would not have been transported from any

great distance by the glaciers.

The soil samples were taken from the A soil horizon

below the organic surface layer. This was done for two

reasons:

1) The survey areas are underlain by the podzolic

soils {Figure 1) . Base metal values will be concentrated in

the A and B soil horizons (Figure 2) . The concentrations of

base metals in the A horizon are not as high as in the B horizon

but should delineate any bedrock zones with anomalous concentrat

ions of base metals,

2) In addition to its technical merits, sampling the

A soil horizon allowed the samplers tp collect more samples per

day. This was an important consideration due to the limited

time available for the survey.
