Shoal Lake Property
Several smaller, stratabound, northeast-trending felsite sills intrude the
lower maficultramafic series in the northeast portion of the northern Shoal
Lake area .
Two syn- to post-tectonic granitoid bodies intrude the volcanic succession.
The Canoe Lake quartz diorite stock intrudes the lower mafic-ultramafic
series approximately six kilometres northeast of the Shoal Lake West
Project. Much of the stock is devoid of any foliation; however, a weak
foliation is developed within the margin of the intrusion and several faults
which have developed in the volcanics have been traced into the margin
of the intrusion. The Snowshoe Bay Batholith intrudes the volcanic
succession approximately one kilometre west of the Shoal Lake West
Project and extends west into Manitoba. This medium-grained granodiorite
intrusion is fairly homogeneous, although grain size and colour variations
occur. A weak foliation or gneissosity is developed proximal and
subparallel to the margins of the intrusion. This foliation appears to trend
into the regional foliation, indicating that the intrusion may be syntectonic .
Quartz porphyry, quartz-feldspar porphyry and felsite dikes occur
throughout the area and have been observed in a variety of crosscutting
relationships. Lamprophyre dikes have been observed to cut across all
lithologies, but were not recognized in either of the late intrusions .
STRUCTURE
Foliations in the Shoal Lake area tend to diverge about diapiric intrusions
and form several distinctive zones of high strain. All recognized foliations
are interpreted to have developed during the D2 event .
The Crowduck Lake - Witch Bay Shear Zone is a major east-trending
zone of high strain tangential to the Canoe Lake Stock, Viola Lake Stock
and the eastern lobe of the Dryberry Batholith. Relative horizontal
movement is interpreted to be dextral. The orientation of the fabrics and
the dextral sense of shear are consistent with a regional, northwesterly
compression (Schwertner eta/., 1979). To the south of the Crowduck Lake
- Witch Bay Shear Zone, a shadow zone, in which little strain is observed,
is indicated on the southwestern flank of the Canoe Lake Stock .
Several narrow, northeast-trending high strain zones occur between the
Snowshoe Bay Batholith and the Canoe Lake Stock. These are developed
within and along the margins of the Stevens Island Complex and trend
subparallel to the intrusion boundaries. These zones of high strain define
three shear zones, with similar orientations and character which suggest
that each is a component of a larger deformation zone referred to
as the Shoal Lake Deformation Zone. The westernmost of these shear
zones contains the Duport mineralized zones and has been termed the
Duport Deformation Zone. The central and eastern zones are termed the
