SUMMARY<br />
The Patten River Property consists of 32 contiguous, non-patented<br />
mining claims situated along the Casa Berardi-Normetal-Ligneris<br />
greenstone belt which forms part of the Abitibi Subprovince of<br />
the Archean Superior Province of the Precambrian Shield.<br />
This greenstone belt is considered to be Hunter Mine Group<br />
(2708my) in age (OGS Map 2484) consisting of an assemblage of<br />
mafic to felsic metavolcanics, metasediments and igneous rocks<br />
which are bordered by granitic batholiths. Diabase dikes are<br />
interpretated to cross the area in a northeast direction.<br />
The property was flown in March of 1988 by Aerodat Limited using<br />
their helicopter borne electromagnetic and magnetic system along<br />
lines at 100 metre intervals. Anomaly Nos. A-3, A-6 S A-7 and A-8<br />
fi A-9 were covered on the ground with electromagnetic and<br />
magnetic surveys over a total of 16.6 kms during December 1989.<br />
During 1990 these anomalies were covered with geological and<br />
geochemical surveys. One diamond drill hole tested anomaly A-6.<br />
During 1991 the HEM anomalies on three grids A-3, A-6-7 and A-8-9<br />
were investigated with three diamond drill holes totalling<br />
306.92 metres. The anomaly on grid A-3 is caused by 1.62 metres<br />
of ID-15% disseminated pyrrhotite, minor pyrite and traces of<br />
chalcopyrite in a banded cherty tuff. The anomaly on grid A-8-9<br />
is caused by 5.85 metres of 2-3% disseminated pyrite in a banded
