This report presents and summarizes the results of a second phase ten hole, 1,656 meter BQ diamond drill program conducted by Cyprus Canada Inc. (CCI) on the Skinner property located near Longlac, Ontario (Figure 1).
The drill program was conducted between October 7th and 27th , 1997. First phase reconnaissance scale drilling by CCI during March and April 1997, intersected 1.98 g/t over 7.3 m in SK97-04 at the southern contact of the Eldee lake volcanic unit. Two follow-up holes, drilled 100 metres east (SK97-09) and 75 metres to the west (SK97-10) of SK97-04 encountered 0.58 g/t over 5.4 metres and 1.87 g/t over 6.5 metres confirming this new gold horizon has a minimum strike length of 200 m. A new grid combining 100 and 200 metre spaced lines was cut with a baseline of 95" over the new gold horizon. Drill targets were developed from a combination of IP, magnetic, VLF and humus/soil surveys in addition to geological mapping.
D.B. Stevenson managed the program with field supervision by A. Tims.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The Skinner property is located in Abrey Township and McBean Lake area, 12 kilometres south of Longlac, Ontario in the Thunder Bay mining district. The property is positioned on the NTS 42E/10 map sheet with the northern property boundary adjoining the southern boundary of the Ginoogaming First Nation reserve.
Primary access is provided by Kimberly-Clark's (KC) logging road that traverses the eastern half of the property in a NS direction. Numerous secondary roads and skidder trails provide additional access. An existing skidder road that connects the KC haulage road at Mile 82 provides winter drill access.

REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Geraldton Gold camp is underlain by the east-southeast striking sediment-volcanic Barton Bay synclinorium. The sediments are comprised of Precambrian turbidite assemblages with interbeds of banded iron formation and lesser mafic volcaniclastic rocks of the Southern Sedimentary unit (Kresz b Zayachivsky, 1991). Semi-conformable sills of diorite/gabbro, including quartz and quartz-feldspar porphyry intrude these formations. The sediments/volcanics and intrusives have been deformed into tight large and small-scale isoclinal folds. Later intrafold and drag folds have been superimposed on these structures. To the north, the synclinorium is bound by a sequence of mafic volcanic flows and to the south by a major east-southeast tectonic structure known as the Barton Bay deformation zone (BBDZ).
Several major longitudinal faults trend east-southeast, roughly parallel to the axial planes of the fold structures. These faults have been offset by the southwest trending Long Lake fault producing a horizontal offset of 1 kilometre and a significant displacement in the vertical sense. Rocks to the east of this fault are from a deeper crustal level with a metamorphic grade of upper greenschist to amphibolite. Lithologies west of Long Lake are of greenschist facies (Kresz S Zayachivsky, 1991).
Many of the gold deposits in the Geraldton camp are thought to be spatially related to the low angle splays off of the BBDZ (Bankfield-Tombill fault), as the majority of the gold
production occurs in rocks directly north of this major tectonic structure. Gold mineralization occurs in several environments but the two most prolific, based on historical production (Pye, 1951), are the porphyry/sediment contacts and quartz-ankerite veins within or adjacent to highly folded sections of iron formation.
The Croll Lake Stock, a granitic intrusion in the east end of the Geraldton gold camp is thought to be a possible source of the auriferous hydrothermal fluids (Pye S Horwood, 1951). A quartz feldspar porphyry intrusion, probably a satellite appendage to the Croll Lake, intrudes sediments in the middle portion of the Skinner property.
Between 1934 and 1968, the Geraldton camp produced approximately 2.9 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.17 oz/ton from eleven, moderate to high grade underground operations. Production statistics for the Geraldton camp are listed in Table 2.

Drilling commenced on October 7th and ended on October 27th , 1997. Norex Drilling Ltd. of Timmins, Ontario was contracted to perform the diamond drilling using a Boyles 27 drill rig. The drill program consisted of 10 BQ holes, numbered SK97-12 to SK97-21, totaling 1,656 metres (Table 3).
Magnetic susceptibilities were measured at 0-0.1X10 3 cgs for all rock units and noted in the drill logs. Magnetic susceptibilities were generally low throughout the property. Rock quality determinations (ROD) were also noted and recorded in drill logs for holes SK97-13 to 21.
The work was concentrated on claims 1212978, 1215989 and 1215991. All holes were drilled grid north at 005". Diamond drill logs are located in Appendix 1 while assay certificates for gold and ICP are listed in Appendix 2 and 3, respectively.
A total of 614 samples were taken for Au fire assay and AA finish. Sample length averaged 1.5 metres. Samples 656739-657353 were also analyzed by a 34-element ICP scan. Assay procedures for Chimitec Ltee are listed in Appendix 4.
Core samples were split at the McBean Lake camp site and subsequently shipped to Chimitec Ltee. in Val d'Or, Quebec by Manitoulin Transport Inc. All drill core for these holes SK97-12 to 21 are stored in a core rack at the McBean Lake campsite.
Appendix 5 contains the second of two petrographic reports by Steve Prevec of Laurention University. The study was undertaken to determine the protoliths of questionable units encountered during the drill program.
The CCI drill program intersected: argillite, greywacke, conglomerate, mafic flows and tuffs, including aplite and diabase dykes. A classification criterion for each lithology is described in the following section.
Sediments
Argillite (coded S4) is a finely bedded to poorly bedded, light to medium grey to locally chlorite-rich sediment. It consists of very fine grain quartz and feldspar with varying amounts of medium grained pale red irregular garnets, biotite and sericite. This sedimentary unit occurs as sub metre interbeds within the greywacke.
Greywacke (coded S3G) is a fine grained, medium to dark grey, poorly sorted, massive to moderately bedded sediment. The matrix is recrystallized and typically contains 20-5007o quartz, ^OVo feldspar, ID-15% biotite with trace porphyroblast^ of amphibole and garnet. A minor unit labelled lithic greywacke (code SSL) has a similar matrix composition but is distinctly different in that it may contain up to 2Q 07o pebble size rock.
Volcanic's
Mafic Tuff/Lapilli Tuff (V3T/V3LT) is dark green to dark green-grey in colour. The mafic tuff consists of fine-grained ash with trace biotite clots which resemble flattened shards. The matrix is weak to locally intensely biotitic with trace amounts of quartz and garnet. Lapilli tuff
has a similar matrix but also contains ID-15% sub-rounded, feldspar-rich lapilli averaging 1.0-1.5 cm by 0.5 cm.
Mafic Flows (V3M) are fine to medium grained, medium to dark green-grey, massive to weakly foliated with locally up to 1507o fine to medium grained metamorphic biotite/amphibole which occasionally exhibit the original pyroxene habit. Coarser units typically possess millimetre scale bands of medium to coarse grain secondary amphibole.
Intrusives
Aplite Dyke (coded I3P) is a massive, weakly fractured, very fine grained, pale red to salmon coloured intrusive unit with a 2-3 centimetre aphanitic chill margin. The groundmass is composed of 50-70*^ potassium feldspar, 20-3007o quartz plus 5-8 07o very fine grain disseminated pyrite throughout. Fractures are filled by flourite and pyrite with numerous centimetre scale quartz-flourite veinlets within the immediate country rock.
Diabase Dykes (coded 18) are massive, magnetic, weakly fractured dark grey units. The dykes are feldspar phyric with up to 507o medium grained subhedral plagioclase and have fine grained, dark coloured chill margins.

M oderately banded garnetiferous mafic tuff;
203.0 m. End of Hole.The maximum assay obtained was 248 ppb gold over a 1.5 metre interval at 6.5 metres. The IP chargeability/resistivity anomaly is attributed to the quartz carbonate vein zone between 25.11 and 33.7 metres.
SK97-16 is the southern most hole in a three hole fence on section 24+OOW targeting a weak chargeability/resistivity anomaly coincident with strong arsenic, cadmium plus weak gold, lead, and copper anomalies in humus.

The highest assay obtained was 124 ppb gold over 2.10 metres at 97.4 metres.
SK97-17, the northern most hole in a three hole fence on section 12+OOW, targeted a very strong IP chargeability/resistivity anomaly coincident with a 279 ppb gold, strong arsenic, moderate lead, weak zinc, copper and cadmium anomalies in humus.

The source of the IP anomaly was identified as a 35 centimetre wide carbonate cemented fault gouge with 2-3 07o disseminated pyrite. The maximum gold assay was 159 ppb gold over 1.5 metres at 74.0 metres.
SK97-18 tested a strong IP anomaly coincident with a strong gold, arsenic, copper, weak zinc and lead anomalies in humus.
0.0 - 3.0 m. Overburden;3.0 - 83.90 m. F ine grain, biotitic, weakly bedded greywacke with minor sericite and
carbonate throughout;83.90 - 152.0 m. Dark green, well banded mafic tuff; 152.0m. End of Hole.
No obvious source for the IP anomaly was noted. The maximum gold assay obtained was 55 ppb over 1.5 metres at 35.0 metres depth.
SK97-19 was the southern most of a three hole fence on section 12+OOW targeting a weak IP chargeability/resistivity coincident with strong molybdenum, moderate gold, zinc, lead, and cadmium geochemistry in the humus.
0.0 - 4.14 m. Overburden;4.14-158.0 m. F ine grain, moderately bedded greywacke with minor quartz carbonate
veinlets and sericite as millimetre scale alteration haloes and tracearsenopyrite;
158.0m. End of Hole.
The weak IP was due to trace-1/2% very fine grain disseminated pyrite about 1-2 centimetre quartz carbonate veinlets, 1-2 per metre, between 39.0 and 70.0 metres. The maximum assay obtained was 201 ppb gold over 1.5 metres at 83.0 metres.
SK97-20 tested a weak IP chargeability anomaly with coincident intense As (4,048 ppb) and strong barium.
0.0 - 13.20 m. Overburden;13.20-158.0 m. Moderately fractured greywacke with locally numerous millimetre scale
quartz carbonate veinlets; 158.0m. End of Hole.
A maximum gold assay of 574 ppb over 1.5 metres was obtained at 41.0 metres. A one sample response of 1,128 ppm arsenic does not adequately explain the extremely anomalous arsenic value in the humus.
SK97-21 tested a strong IP chargeability and resistivity anomaly north of the BBFZ. This geophysical anomaly has coincident moderate gold, weak arsenic, lead, and copper, molybdenum and cadmium anomalies in humus.
0.0 - 3.33 m. Overburden;3.33 - 27.33 m. F ine grain, well bedded, feldspar and biotite rich greywacke;27.33 - 32.55 m. Magnetic porphrytic diabase;32.55 - 157.58 m. Weakly sericitized and silicified greywacke with the degree of fracturing
and silicification increasing downhole; 157.58 - 1 70.46 m. Fault zone is intensely sericitized, silicified, fractured and locally
brecciated with strong carbonate and trace pyrite and chalcopyritethroughout;
170.46 - 198.0 m. Dark grey, borderline argillite, with up to 1007o garnet; 198.0m. End of Hole.
The resistivity anomaly is offset from the chargeability due to the broad silicification halo in the hangingwall of the fault. The chargeability is related to the sulphide content and graphite coated fault planes within fault zone itself. No anomalous assays were obtained from this hole.
Stratigraphy
The Grid B area of the Skinner property is underlain by an east-west striking, steeply south dipping fine to medium grained volcano-sedimentary succession consisting of mafic
volcanic's, known as the Eldee Lake Volcanic unit (ELV), and poorly sorted biotitic greywacke lithologies. North-northwest striking diabase and aplite dykes intrude these lithological units. The 150 to 200 metre wide mafic volcanic assemblage consists of tholeiitic, massive and pillowed flows as well as tuffs and minor lapilli tuffs all exhibiting varying degrees of recrystallization as indicated by the presence of metamorphic amphiboles and locally garnets.
The ELV unit is bracketed to the north and south by a succession of weak to moderately bedded greywacke's with various amounts of biotite and feathery hornblende. The southern greywacke package is fine grain and weakly bedded with graded bedding indicating tops to the south. The northern sediments are similar in appearance but are fine to medium grain, contain trace to "t/2% rounded, 1-3 millimetre glassy quartz grains and has a greater percentage of feldspar. The contact with the northern sediments and the ELV unit is marked by a strong, continuous AEM anomaly, which corresponds to the Barton Bay fault zone (BBFZ) as described by Kresz S Zayachivsky (1991). In some locations either the volcanic's or sediments have been offset across the BBFZ.
The metasediments are turbidite deposits consisting of bedded to massive aluminous and quartzo-feldspathic greywackes, conglomerates and argillites. The depositional environment is interpreted by Kresz S Zayachivsky (1991) to have been a submarine fan lobe facies similar to that described by Walker (1978).
Structure
The structural setting of the Skinner property is similar to the rest of the Beardmore- Geraldton belt; a tectonic-stratigraphic assemblage characterized, on a regional scale, by the repetitive alternation of several east-trending volcanic and sedimentary units representing an imbricated thrust stack. The north-facing rock units are steep to vertical dipping in the north and are overturned with steep dips in the south. A pervasive penetrative foliation coplanar to lithological contacts is ubiquitous throughout the property. Numerous ESE ductile-brittle faults of various magnitudes traverse the property. The majority of these faults occur along lithological contacts and are analogous to regional fault related shear systems at low angle to the BBFZ (Kresz b Zayachivsky 1991). No major folding of the units were identified however, small drag folds were noted in the sediments.
Drilling confirmed the strike and dip of a number of structures traversing the stratigraphy of Grid B. Drill core and outcrop confirmed that the BBFZ occurring along the northern contact of the ELV unit is a strong south dipping, east-west sinstral strike-slip fault zone. The sense and magnitude of the displacement is exemplified by a northwest trending diabase dyke which has been offset by the BBFZ with a minimum displacement of 650 metres. The physiographic expression of this fault suggests north side down or a reverse fault component of unknown displacement. This structural observation is also supported by moderate westerly plunges and lineations sporadically noted in outcrop.
A parallel and less intense brittle-ductile fault, McBean Lake Fault (MLFZ), occurs along the southern margin of the ELV unit. This fault pinches and swells along, or adjacent to, the volcano-sediment contact. Numerous tight, brittle 2nd order fault splays within the greywacke, originating off of the MLFZ, offset weak to very weak VLF lineaments parallel to the MLFZ, inferring an overall dextral strike slip sense of movement for the MLFZ. The history of fracturing and quartz veining within both the mafic volcanic's and greywacke indicate a continuous and changing stress regime.

Alteration and Mineralization
Regional middle amphibolite facies metamorphism has altered fine grain greywacke to fine to medium grain quartz-feldspar-muscovite *7-garnet +/-biotite +/-carbonate schist's (Prevec, 1997b). The mafic volcanic's vary from quartz-biotite schist's to quartzofeldspathic hornblende schist's +I- garnet +/-carbonate +I- chlorite (Prevec, 1997b).
Previous drilling (SK97-4, 9 S 10) undertaken by Cyprus in March/April 1997, intersected an auriferous arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite quartz-ankerite vein zone in a mafic volcanic tuff along the MLFZ. During Cyprus' October drill program, arsenopyrite mineralization was encountered in the southern greywacke and the ELV unit, however no significant auriferous grade-width interval was encountered.
Within the greywacke, arsenopyrite, +I- pyrite mineralization is associated with weak to moderate sericite - carbonate alteration halos adjacent to quartz-carbonate/quartz-ankerite veinlets. These veinlets occur within weak to moderately fractured intervals averaging 2 to 3 per metre. Locally up to 1007o arsenopyrite can occur within the alteration halo's. Trace to no arsenopyrite was noted within the veinlets. Moderately developed fracture stockworks within the greywacke are well developed in the immediate hangingwall of the MLFZ. Isolated 1300 -1900 ppb gold assays were acquired from such weakly developed quartz- carbonate veinlet zones.
Within the mafic volcanics, arsenopyrite, +I- pyrrhotite mineralization occurs along well developed shear/fault zones comprised of biotite, chlorite, +I- magnetite. The zones contain 2-5 millimetre wide boudinaged and folded pale blue-grey quartz-ankerite veinlets within a sericitized and silicified alteration halo containing 2-307o medium grain arsenopyrite and fine grain disseminated pyrrhotite. Vein density varies with the deformation intensity. The MLFZ is characterized by a 10-20 metre wide weakly magnetic zone containing 5007o quartz- ankerite veinlets, within a biotite groundmass and moderate to strong pervasive carbonate. Smaller, 20-30 centimetres, faults north of the MLFZ typically contain 1-2 07o arsenopyrite with trace pyrrhotite.
STATEMENT OF EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES
By Nov. 30, 1997 the total costs for the second pass drill phase amounted to S123,733. A statement of exploration expenditures is listed in the table below.
STATEMENT OF EXPLORATION EXPENDITURESSkinner-Geraldton (5007) as of November 30, 1996
Six of the ten holes targeted coincident IP-humus anomalies detected along the MLFZ. Weak to moderately sericitic, silicified and carbonatized greywackes and mafic volcanic's were intersected. This volcano-sedimentary suite is intruded by NNW diabase and pyrite- fluorite-bearing aplite dykes. Weakly developed quartz-ankerite veinlets and stockworks accompanied by narrow halos of weak to moderate sericite, silica and carbonate alteration, including trace to locally IQ.% arsenopyrite-pyrite mineralization, were found to be the source of the geophysical-geochemical anomalies. Graphitic fault surfaces were also noted in some holes. No economic grade/width gold intervals were encountered, however, broad zones of low grade gold (^0.50 g/t) are present in some holes (SK97-12, 14,15 S 19)
In addition, two other parallel structural trends, identified by geophysics and humus geochemistry, were drill tested. The first structure, located 500 m south of the MLFZ, was tested by a two-hole fence drilled along line 32+50W . These holes intersected only weakly mineralized biotitic greywacke in each hole. No significant assays were returned. The second structure, located 325 m north of the MLFZ was tested by one hole collared on line 2+OOE at 3+50N. A 12 m wide silicified fault zone with weak to no mineralization and no significant gold assays was intersected.
The gold zone during the previous winter drill program in holes SK97-04, 09 and 10 remains open and is recommended for further drill testing.
In addition, reconnaissance scale mapping/prospecting and humus sampling is recommend for the area between the west end of Grid B and Long Lake and the area between the Kimberly-Clark haulage road and the East End of Seagram Lake. This work will effectively explore the remaining gold potential along strike of the BBFZ and MLFZ on the Skinner property.

Summary
This suite shows what appears to be a gradation of metamorphic grade through a relatively
constant bulk composition, with the conspicuous exception of sample SKTS-14. In the other
cases, a moderately aluminous quartzofeldspathic sedimentary protolith, possibly derived from a
felsic volcanic precursor (with both plagioclase and alkali feldspars) has been progressively
metamorphosed through greenschist into middle amphibolite grades. Cherty quart/, and feldspars
have been recrystalli/ed, strained and altered, and the feldspars broken down into white micas and
perhaps locally chlorite. At the highest grades amphibole (hornblende) has developed, probably at
the expense of biotite, and the early foliation (in SKTS-06, 08, 10) has proceeded to a schistosity
(SKTS-07, 08, 11, 13) and incipient gneissosity (SKTS-15, 12). All of the component mineralogy
in these samples has developed before or during the peak of metamorphism, including the
disseminated sulphides. These are typically dominated by pyrrhotite with minor accessory
chalcopyrite, with pyrite usually less abundant than pyrrhotite. The habit of sulphide mineral
occurrence is the same throughout the suite.
Sample SKTS-14 is the amphibolitized remnant of an ultramafic protolith which has
suffered comparable temperature metamorphism to the rest of the suite, but lower pressures.
Possible thermal or contact-type metamorphism is indicated.
Sample SKTS-06 A, B
These iwo samples are characterized by a strongly-foliated, fine-grained biolite and quarlz-rich groundmass. The hand specimens are grey, and ihe fine-grained folialed biotiles are evident. SKTS-06B is cut by late, syn-delbrmational vein of grey quartz, and also displays textural banding on the cm scale.
SKTS-06 A consists almost entirely of very well-foliated, equigranular brown biotite and quartz (Plate l A). The quartz grains arc relatively equant but may also display some elongation parallel to the foliation, with aspect ratios up to about 3:1. Very fine-grained clouding of the matrix is reminiscent of kaolinitic or sericitic alteration of feldspar grains, which are otherwise petrographically unidentifiable at this grain size (unless they are stained). Thin veinlets of coarser- grained quartz traverse the slide but do not crosscut the foliation in this sample, and may show strained, undulatory extinction.
Fine-grained sulphides are disseminated throughout, all predating the foliation and showing either extension or alignment parallel to the foliation. These include anhedral pyrrhotite grains which commonly host small chalcopyrite inclusions along their margins. Subhedral to euhedral pyrite is also present.
SKTS-06 B contains two distinct textural zones. The lower third of the slide is comparable to SKTS-06A, and consists of homogeneously distributed fine-grained biotite, quartz and sulphides. The upper two thirds of the slide is distinctly coarser-grained (M mm, typically), and consists of a similar well-foliated biotite-quartz groundmass but with a high proportion of coarser clasts consisting of elongated, strained quartz and recrystallized perthitic alkali feldspar (Plate IB). Aggregates of multiple coarse quartz grains are present, as are aggregates of cherty fine-grained quartz. Albite-twinned plagioclase is also present. A coarser-grained vein of quartz and feldspar crosscuts the foliation at a low angle, but deformation of biotite laths in the groundmass adjacent to the vein indicates that the veining predated the end of the deformation (Plate 1C). Late, trace carbonate is also present.
Opaque minerals consist largely of pyrrhotite with accessory chalcopyrite, shown in Plate l D, where while coarser sulphides are associated with the quartz veining, there does not appear to be any particular association between sulphide distribution and particular minerals or features. Pyrite is essentially absent, although fine-grained iron oxides are disseminated throughout.

ParagenesisThis rock is a quartz-biolite schist. The equigranular fine-grained groundmass and the abundance ol" quart/ and relict igncous-textured feldspar clasts suggests a felsic volcanigenic protolith and/or proximally-dcrivcd sediments. Low- to moderate-temperature and pressure deformation have induced strained extinction in the quartz, encouraged some recrystallization of the feldspars, and produced the strong foliation, locally an incipient schistosity. Introduction of the veins of coarser quartz occurred relatively early in the deformation event. The disseminated sulphides are also pre-deformational components of the rock.
Sample SKTS-08, 10
Sample SKTS-08 is a fine- to medium-grained, quartz-rich well-foliated rock similar to SKTS-06. In thin section it consists of a groundmass of oriented mica laths and fine-grained quartz supported by aligned, medium-grained clasts of quartz and alkali feldspar. The feldspar grains show polysynthetic tartan twinning preserved frequently, relict perthitic textures, and variable amounts of hydrous sericitic alteration. While strained extinction is present in the quartz grains, it is not ubiquitous and is relatively mild where present. Albite-twinned plagioclase feldspar is not uncommon as medium-grained clasts (Plate 2A).
Micaceous bands include both biotite and muscovite in comparable proportions. Accessory carbonate is present in small clots.
Sulphides are dominated by anhedral to subhedral pyrrhotite with associated marginal inclusions of chalcopyrite, as shown in Plate 2B. Rare pyrite is present as extremely corroded relicts of subhedral grains.
19fc pyrrhotite tr pyrite, chalcopyrite ir Fe-carbonate
ParagenesisThese two-mica schists are comparable to SKTS-06 except that they have more feldspar and less mica, and appear to have suffered less strain deformation. These may represent less deformed or less metamorphically-evolved equivalents of SKTS-06, where less of the feldspar has broken down. A felsic volcanic or volcanogenic sedimentary protolith is again inferred.
Sample S KTS-07, 09
These samples are coarse- to medium-grained quarl/.-feldspar-muscoviie-bcaring schist, with the white mica evident both as thin bands and as discrete grains in the hand specimen. In thin section the rock is dominated by bands and coarse grains of quart/,, with lesser Feldspar, around which fine-grained felled masses of white mica "How". A preferred orientation is evident in the alignment of the quartz grains and bands rather than in the micas.
SKTS-09 is a more homogeneous-textured, somewhat finer-grained equivalent of SKTS- 07, but shows the same mineralogy and textures.
Quart/, is largely present as discontinuous bands of aggregates of multiple sutured grains. Undulatory extinction is ubiquitous. The feldspars are variably altered (sercitized) and recrystallized, although faint albite twinning is present and patches of tartan-twinned microcline are common, as seen in Plate 2C.
In SKTS-07 a coarse veinlei of sutured, strained quartz crosscuts the fabric and the slide. Adjacent to this veinlei, the degree of hydrous alteration of the feldspars is noticeably higher, and carbonate, hematile and red-brown biotite are common.
Sulphides consist of coarse euhedral to subhedral pyrite grains (Plate 2D) which may also be present as finer, often granulated grains between the coarse quartz grains. Fine-grained anhedral pyrrhotite is also present, aligned parallel to the fabric and associated with minor chalcopyrite. Stringers of magnetite are also present in trace amounts.
ParagenesisThese samples are quartz-muscovite schists. The high quartz and alkali content from the alkali feldspar and potassic mica and the remnants of microcline again suggest a felsic volcanic or proximal volcanogenic sedimentary protolith. The quart/ veining in SKTS-07 and its associated iron-bearing hydrous fluids appear to largely predale the deformation, inducing alteration of the feldspars, and iniroducing iron oxides, carbonates and sulphides. The subsequent metamorphism is lower amphibolite grade, producing the incipient schistosity which is relatively poorly defined due to the high quartz content in the rock.
SampleSKTS-11, 13
In hand specimen these samples show a well-developed schistosity in a biotite and quartz-rich rock, with visible blebs of pyrrhotite evident in the mafic layers. In thin section they are dominated by these two compositional bands, with quartz and carbonate-rich layers alternating with biotite and muscovite-rich carbonaceous layers.
In sample SKTS-11 the quartz occurs as aggregates of sutured, recrystallized grains commonly aligned perpendicular to the schistosity, as shown in Plate 3A. Undulose extinction is ubliquitous. Carbonate occurs as clots or multiple-grain aggregates within both the quartzose and the micaceous layers, and also in veinlets crosscutting the fabric (Plate 3A). The micaceous bands contain disseminated biotite laths which are aligned parallel lo the fabric and are coarser-grained near the margins of the bands. In the interior, fine-grained biotite laths occur with disseminated pyrrhotite in a matrix of carbonate and fine-grained, poorly crystallized white mica. The white mica is very reminiscent of sericitic alteration of feldspar carried through to near completion.
The opaque mineralogy consists largely of interstitial anhedral pyrrhotite (Plate 3B), generally aligned parallel to the schistosity, with minor associated chalcopyrite. Quartz inclusions appear within pyrrhotite and pyrite. Medium-grained pyrite occurs as poikilitic, corroded subhedral to anhedral grains (Plate 3C). Coarse grains of sulphide occur in association with pods of coarse-grained quartz.
Sample SKTS-13 shows a less recrystallized texture, with cherty quartz layers with coarser carbonate alternating with biotite-carbonale rich layers with a much more sedimentary- looking aspect (Plate 3D).

Paragenesis
These two-mica quartz carbonate schists shows a comparable bulk composition to the other samples in this suite. White mica has replaced pre-existing feldspar and the introduction of siliceous, carbonate- and sulphide-bearing fluids has predated the completion of the metamorphism which produced the schistosity. The alteration of the feldspars probably ccurred during this event as well. Cross-cutting carbonate veinlets indicate that the introduction of these fluids continued after the development of the schistosity. A quartzofeldpathic sedimentary protolith is indicated.
Sample SKTS-12
The hand specimen is characterized by elongated quart/.-rich pods within a leucocratic grey groundmass with well-lineated amphiboles. In thin section the rock is dominated by well lineated, medium-grained, subhedral, strongly poikilitic olive lo almost blue-green hornblende (Plate 4A). The groundmass consists of fine-grained cherty lo elongated aligned quartz and variably kaolinitized feldspar with medium-grained recryslallizcd altered perlhilic feldspars and slrained quartz within it. Albile iwinning is common in the coarse feldspars. The coarser grains of quartz and feldspar are also aligned parallel to the lineation.
Finely disseminated carbonate, amphibole, hematite and magnetite are disseminated throughout, along with minor pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.
ParagenesisThis is a quartzofeldspathic hornblende gneiss, although actual gneissic layering is very poorly developed. Again the bulk composition is comparable to that of the rest of the suite, but higher temperatures (and pressures?) of metamorphism are indicated. The preservation of coarse feldspars and the absence of micas suggests that perhaps less water and carbonate-bearing fluid were involved. Iron from the oxides and sulphides may be contributing to amphibole formation, conceivably.
Sample SKTS-15
This sample displays a well-developed schistosity on its way to a gneissosity, with quarl/.-rich bands and amphibole-rich bands (Plate 4B). Half-cm acicular amphibolcs and equant feldspars are evident in the hand specimen. In thin section this rock appears to bc transitional between the quartz-carbonate-mica schists (SKTS-11 and 13) and the quartz-hornblende gneiss (SKTS-12).
It contains thick lenses of carbonate and amphibole, the latter occurring as aggregates of pale green rosettes with brownish tinges suggesting growth at the expense of earlier biolite. These are interspersed with layers of medium-grained, weakly strained quartz and carbonate, layers of coarse carbonate, and layers of hornblende-quartz-feldspar and carbonate as described for SKTS-12 (Plate 4C).
Pods of chlorite rosettes are present locally, as are medium to fine-grained euhedral to subhedral, weakly poikilitic pyrite grains. Finely disseminated anhedral grains of magnetite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are also present (Plate 4D).
ParagenesisThis fairly complex melange of carbonate-quartz-hornblende gneiss is interpreted, as implied, as a transitional stage between the mica schists and the amphibolitic gneisses. This could be either a metamorphic transition representing intermediate temperatures, pressures and fluid pressures, or a physical transition between distinct units. The higher carbonate content is consistent with a contact zone between units, allowing increased fluid access. Amphibolite grade metamorphism of an undetermined, relatively aluminous quartzofeldsparthic protolith is indicated.
Sample S KTS- 1 4
This is a massive, granular, fine-grained greenish grey rock. It consists almost entirely of fine grained, weakly-oriented felted masses of what appears lo be fibrous magnesian amphibole. They are colourless, with inclined extinction, moderate relief and show high (third order) birefringence (anomalous for amphibole, which may reflect a slightly thick section which is not uncommon in the absence of quartz or feldspar in the rock). Cummingtonite is suggested.
Aggregates of coarser-grained chlorite occur in pods throughout (Plate 5A), as do clots of magnetite, pyrrhotite chalcopyrite, and pyrite (Plate 5B, C). Finely disseminated magnetite and sulphides are also present throughout. A greenish brown amorphous iddingsitic-looking mineral is present, occurring almost as a stain rather than a discrete phase (seen in Plate 5B).
ParagenesisThis sample is significantly more mafic than the members of this suite described previously, and is an amphibolite. Although the degree of high temperature, relatively low pressure metamorphism is too pervasive to identify any primary minerals, a ferromagnesian protolith is indicated by the bulk composition. Thermal metamorphism and hydration of a relatively ultramafic protolith is indicated, perhaps something peridotitic.
