2) The HcDermott gold deposit Is located along the McKenna<br />
Fault. The Mattawasaga gold deposit is located along the<br />
Ghostmont Fault. These are splay faults striking southwest off<br />
the Destor-Porcupine Fault. These faults occur long the contact<br />
between iron-rich and magnesium-rieh tholiitic basalts with<br />
possible interflow sediments. The mineralization consists of<br />
finely disseminated pyrite which is directly proportional to the<br />
grade of gold. Gold is rarely visible occuring almost entirely<br />
within finely disseminated pyrite. Alteration consists of very<br />
strongly silicified and to a lesser extent carbonatized basalt.<br />
The average thickness of the Mattawasaga deposit ranges from 30-<br />
80 feet.<br />
5.2 Property Mineralization<br />
Alteration zones consisting of strongly silicified and<br />
carbonatized zones over widths of 17-22m along the<br />
North Branch<br />
of the Destor-Porcupine Fault. This fault is located along the<br />
contact between felsic volcanics to the south and mafic volcanics<br />
to the north. Hole No. LR-87-1 on section 8 Bast encountered<br />
anomalous gold values of 73 ppb Au over 3.99 m within a<br />
silicified and carbonatized zone from 228.78m to 250.91m over a<br />
width of 22.13 m on the footwall of the North Branch of the<br />
Destor-Porcupine Fault. The best assay is 189 ppb Au over 0.91 m.
