)1*
The two patented claims under option are i TB 10164 and TB 10971*
B* Work DoneThe original 14 claim group waa acquired in March, 1970. and Hollinger Mines United performed geophysical (magnetic and electromagnetic) surveys over most of this group* On tha basis of tha geophysical data, two holes were drilled in 1970. with a total length of 1117 feet* Later in mid-1971 a geological survey was performed over thia original group* Both the drilling results and the geological eurvey were filed for assessment*
In the last quarter of 1971* Hollinger Mines United applied and received a subsidy to do further work on the property through the provisions of the Ontario Government's Exploration Assistance Programme* Under thia programme, geophyeloal (magnetic and electromagnetic) surveys were performed on nine claims that had been added in 1971* These claim (numbered TB 325351*359 inol.) were adjacent to the original group on the eastern boundary*
The assistance programme continued into the first quarter of 19721 when-a drilling programme waa initiated* Six holea, with a total footage of 24*3 feet, were drilled to check anomalous copper values obtained in the 1970 drilling and to teat a one of ground conductivity*
- 2 -
Since that programme expired on March 31. 1972, two patented claims, adjacent to ths west boundary of the original group, have boon added* In May 1972, a geological survey was completed over the nine claims to the east (TB 325351*359 inel*)i and in November 1972, Magnetic, electro* Magnetic and geological surveys were completed over the two patented claims*
In April 1973, a second Exploration Assistance Agreement was signed to cover a drilling programme designed to teett
(a) a coincident magnatic*slsetromagnstic anomaly on patented claim 1097l|
(b) the best interssctlon obtained in the 1972 drilling at depth) and
(c) a Magnetic anomaly assumed to be on or near ths contact between the Tsmiskaming ssdimsnts and Keewatin volcanics*

The Teolskaraing sediments encountered were congloneratea and arkose which are similarly intruded by the gabbro, diorite and albite porphyry*The Keewatin lavas consist of andeeitic to daeitio flowe and tuffs whioh are highly metanorphosed. Biotite and chlorite are often found in these volcanics, with accessory carbonate and silica* Tho tuffe are characterised by nunxtrous, mall, subangular fragment e in a chloritic matrix. The tuff horisons generally have a gradational contact with the massive flowe*The nasslve flowe often contain narrow chert horisons.

(silicification?)Although intersections of chert were quite cosnon in the 1972 drilling, very few chert horlsons were encountered in the present program** Hence, no additional inter* pretatlons can be made about the** unit**
The hornblende gabbroa are easily distinguished by the numerous blocky crystals of hornblende in a dark green chloritic natrix* Often these blocky crystals ara altered to chlorite) however, the crystal habit usually remains* The gabbro*, as with ths diorite*, are presumed to be Early Algoman in age*
The only hornblende diorite encountered waa in hole A~14*73| on claim TB 139352* No surfaes exposure* of thie unit are noted on the property* Although the blocky crystal* of hornblende still persist, as in the
fabbro, they ore only locally developed and calcic eldspar is the predominant mineral. Unlike the gabbro, the diorite was weakly magnetic. although there is no expression of an anomaly from the geomagnetic survey performed in the area*
The albite porphyry dykes are presumed to be Late Algonan in age, since in a couple of surfac* exposures ths porpnyrie* are seen to intrude the hornblende gabbro* The high sodic feldspar content is diagnostic of all dykes encountered* This rook is usually pale grey in colour and quite hard, with the main alteration noted * ' alight amounts of epidote after feldspar*
taming sediments are encountered in surface exposures on the Kalson claim* and in drill hole A-14-73, on claim TB 139352* Moat of the Teadekaming aerie* her* is represented by conglomerates, with only a few sonss of arkosic material noted in the drill hole*

f ~IV* RESULTS
A. Prilling
Fivo holes were drilled encountering tho rook types previously described under general geology, beingi Chert, Andesite. Hornblende Diorite, Hornblende Oabbro, Albite Porphyry, and Toniokaming sediments including arfcose and conglomerate,
AU of t ho drill logs will bo filed for assessment, hence only a plan of tho drilling plus a copy of tho drill sections accompany thio report. A total of 2)91 feat wore driilodj 1005 foot to test tho magnetic-electromagnetic anomaly on tho Kaloon clalmsi 996 foot to check tho wide ooppor bearing ono found in tho 1972 drilling, and 790 foot to tost tho magnetic anomaly in the Tomtofcaming oodimonto*
Tho n*gn*tic*cloctromagnotio anomaly on tho Kaloon elaino Mao attributed to a narrow (up to ono foot) band of aaooiva pyrrhotite carrying adnor pyrite and chalcopyrite, Tho excellent profile! obtained fron the geophysical eunreya fron ouoh a narrow tone oro probably related to tho rather shallow overburden depth* in tho area*
t
During tho 1972 drilling, an intersection of 17 foot assaying .47? ooppor. *X4 ounces/ton silver v was obtained in holo A**~7** Hole A-12-7J was set out to cross thio sons approximately 100 foot vertically below tho original intersection. Although a substantial -width of rook anomalous in ooppor was encountered, assays show tho sons to bo Manor at thio depth.
Drill hole A*H-7J was designed to cross section a magnetic anonaly prosunod to bo in tho Keewatin volcanics -~ tho additional footage allowing tho hole to out the voleanio^sediaentary contact, Unexpectedly, after 196 foot of overburdoni tho hole ooUarod in Tomiskaning conglomerate which extended to a dyke of hornblende diorite at 610*) foot, Tho magnetic anomaly was attributed to approximately 45 foot of conglomerate containing numerous dioaorn* inated blobs of pyrrhotite.
Previous to tho drilling of hole A-14-7J, two olaims wore added along our south boundary to protect any possible results obtained in that hole. Thus, tho
present number of claims Mentioned at the first of this report it two creator than the number indicated upon signing tho Exploration Assistance Agreement* No work was carried out on those two now claim (TB 37279s and TB 372799), to that nono of tht provisions of tht Agreement woro violated*
Bt AssayingAssaying of oora camples waa completed at Hollinger Mine* limited. Assay Department, by tho atomic absorption method* Samples woro asaayad for ' various elements, inducing i copper, sine, nickel, silver, lead and gold*Each smplo is nroparod by crushing and grinding the rock to a -100 nosh fraction than dacoamoslng tht product by tho addition of hot nitric and hydrochloric acids*A list of tho assay rosults acccajpanlta this report in suvsiary fora*
V, COHCUI3IOH3 and RECOMMENDATIONS
Exploration to data has rtvtalad two rtlativtljr strong tlactroraagnttic anonaUos with associated high nagnttlos, to bs related to narrow bands of massiyt or ntar smssivs pyrrhotite with minor acstssory pyritt and ohaloopyrlto* One of these anomalios waa outlinod and drilled in 1972, the seoond anomaly lying within tho Kalson claims and boing drilled during tha course of the present programs*
t
Further, a sons of dissoainatod sulphides haying economic implications WAS previously outlined by drilling, to the east of the geophysical anomalies more recently located on tho Kalson claims* Thus, the Kelson anomalies appeared to be ideal targets for drilling as suggested from the nearby pyrrhotlte-chalcopyrite sone* Unfortunately, the data now available indicate that this entire section is not viable for mineral exploitation*
r
However, due to the intimate relationship between pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite noted in this area, magnetic horisons would appear to be favourable drill targets, either with or without a coincident electromagnetic anomaly* Several untested magnetic anomalies, which do not appear to bo indicative of a change in rook type, remain on tho Wilton elaias* The most probable interpretation to be applied to this is that the anomalies suggest the presence of pyrrhotite - hopefully continuing its association with chalcopyrite*
.7 -
The presence of Timiskaming sediments on ths property may indicate an additional exploration opportunity, in anarch of gold* Although most of the Tinlskaning bslt here has boon extensively drilled, very little work has boon dona in ths Rides Lake area* Unfortunately, the results received to date in the sedlnsnts hairs been very poor and no major structural features, which ars often closely associated with gold ores, appear to be indicated* In ths absence of known stringer aonss, or structural controls, a couple of oross*sootional hoist nay bs warranted to test ths Keewatin-Timiskaming contact*
