REPORT

ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE

WINTERS'

PROPERTY

The property consists of 37 claims. Of these, 29 are in Blezard and

8 in Bayside Townships* AB it is situated in a surveyed area, the property

corer* the South half lot 9 concession IV, the north half lot 10 concession III,

the north half of the south half of lot 10 concession III, the south half of

lot 11 concession 17, all of lot 11 concession III except the northeast quarter

of the south half, lot 12 concession III in Blezard Township and lot l conces

sion III in Rayside Township* The south half of lot 9 concession IV is

apparently completely covered by swamp and is not included on the accompanying

plan*

ACCESS

As the property is situated about two and one-half miles northwest

of the Prood Mine of International Nickel in Sudbury, it is readily reached

from the township roads in the rioinity* A new Hydro-Electric Power C omission

transmission line crosses the southeastern portion of the property*

OEOLOQY

Areal - The Sudbury nickel-copper deposits are an unique occurrence* In

brief, they occur associated with the Sudbury Nickel Irruptive, a differen

tiated intrusive mass which outcrops in an elliptical ly shaped rim separating

the enclosed rocks of the Sudbury Basin from the older granites, sediments

and volcanic rooks outside the rim*

The area has been the subject of much geological investigation and

the generalized succession of rocks is as follows t-

In a general way the assemblage of rooks constituting the Whitewater

series occur as a synclinal basin isolated and completely surrounded by the

Nickel Irruptire.

To a certain extent the Basin can be represented as a giant or outbit*

inclusion in the intrusive mass* The Nickel Irruptire apparently was

emplaoed at the unconformity at the base of the Whitewater Series nore or

less ooncordantly, somewhat like a sill* In many respects it can be compared

to the Nipissing diabase in other parts of the country. This Irruptive mass

now is exposed as a rim averaging l to 3 miles in width and complete surroun

ding the basin. It dips inward in all directions, probably at varying angles,

but is thought to be present beneath the basin at ever increasing depths

towards its centre* Because of a ffcir irregularities in the outline of its

upper contact, not explainable by topography or definite faulting, it appears

that the upper contact of the Irruptive is irregular or varies in dip* Such

behaviour of the upper portion of the Irruptive may suggest a similar

condition in the lower (Norite) portion and related to it, but it is not

necessarily so. If such irregularity indicates a flexure of the whole mass,

interesting eoonondo possibilities may be present* The Irruptive mass, while

still in a fluid condition is considered to have separated into a generally

acidic (micropegmatite) upper portion and a more basic (Norite) lower portion

with a transitional intermediate rook type solidifying between the two

extremes. The micropegmatite upper portion is considerably wider or thicker

than the norite base, the transition rook occupying a relatively narrow cone.

The thickness of the Irruptive mass is generally of the order of about 4,000

feet with the micropegmatite forming about two-thirds of this.

There are two main types of copper-nickel orebodies. The more

important "marginal" type occurs fairly closely associated with the norite.

WIHTRBS* GROUP

The sulphide bodies usually occur at or just below the contact of the norite

with the underlying rocks. This usually occurs where there is present a

bulge or irregularity in the norite contact and this area is intersected by

faulting or shearing* The ore is present in the underlying rook rather than

in the norite*

The type of host rook does not seem to be as important as the

physical properties* There is more than a suggestion that the basic require

ment is a competent or brittle rook which was in a fractured or brecciated

condition at the right time and place* The other important kind of ore

deposit is usually referred to as the offset type* These are mineralised

dikes* Some of these offset dikes are directly connected to the norite. In

others the connection is not apparent at the surface horizon at least. No

copper-nickel ore deposit is known occurring above the norite.

Looal - The property is characterised by rocky hills rising out of swampy

ground* The hills for the most part are lightly covered with overburden

carrying low bushes and very little in the way of other vegetation. They

trend generally northeasterly, in line with the direction of the rim. Examin-*

ation of topographic maps and aerial photographs reveals the presence of at

least one lineament striking northwesterly across the narrow portion of the

property near the northeast corner of lot 10, concession III* This lineament

lies along the strike of a portion of an irregular northeasterly striking

fault occurring at the top of the Copper Cliff formation to the east of the

Frood Mine* The portion of the property through which this feature passes,

being all swamp, is devoid of outcrop. It is presumed that a fault is

responsible for this valley but this could not be substantiated* Unverified

information is to the effect that a diabase dike is present rather than a

WINTERS' GROUP

a fault* A diabase dike occupying a fault could well be present* In any case

it is questionable whether such a feature would be of economic significance*

The four northeastern claims covering the south half lot 9 concession 17 are

almost entirely swamp and were not mapped*

The property is underlain almost in its entirety by the micropegmatite.

This is a generally massive holocrystalline rock peculiar to the district and

has been repeatedly described in geologic literature. It varies little in

grain size from its upper margin near the north boundary of the property

to the southern border of the area under consideration. It exhibits few

structural or other features and is best described as rather monotonous inR

nature. Southwest from the western boundary of the property a "tongue" of

micropegmatite extends towards the town of Aeilda in Rayside township. A

corresponding tongue of the agglomerate of the Onaping formation of the Basin

extends into the southwesterly claims of the group. As this feature suggests

a major bulge in the upper surface of the micropegmatite it was hoped that

something could be found to favor the possibility of the presence of orebodies

at not too great depth below the surface on the property. However nothing

could be found to indicate that the lower contact of the norite also bulged

upwards in sympathy.

Two mineralized showings are indicated on the plan* These are not

considered to be of economic significance. They "ve r e previously diamond

drilled with negative results. The showings consist of short narrow quarts

veins mineralized with a little chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and very

minor pyrrhotite. The veins are not persistent and are associated with weak

shearing or faulting. The veins and mineralisation were more typical of

"Basin" deposits than the nickel type. A zone of barren quarts veins occurs

just north of the power line and roughly paralleling it in the southeastern

part of the property.

WINTERS' OSOOP

- 6 -

Because of the eoonomic importance of faulting and shearing in this

district, such features were particularly looked for on the property* The

possible or probable locations of inferred faults are shown on the accompany

ing plan* It should be pointed out here that interpretation of the magnet

ometer surrey did not suggest the presence of any of the faults indicated on

the plan* This is to be expected if no increase in magnetic mineral content

resulted from the faulting or subsequent filling.

The northeast striking fault is inferred front topographic features

on the ground. The extension of the Creighton-North Star-Whitewater Lake

fault is shown as a possible fault because of the presence of tones of light

oxidation and a system of flat fractures or jointing which occurs on the

east wall. This feature is well exposed near the northwest corner of lot l

concession I, Rayside township and just east of the geodetic station a short

distance northeast of this point. The uniform character of the micropegmatite

makes the recognition of a fault in the field rather difficult and unsure so

that more faults than shown may well be present*

CONCLUSIONS

The property is almost entirely underlain by rooks of the upper portion

of the Sudbury Irruptive. This is at some very considerable distance above

the base of the norite, below which occur the host rooks for the copper-nickel

orebodies. While the vertical depth to the lower norite contact at any point

on the property is thought to be large, it can not be estimated with any

degree of assurance*

Surface showings on the property, previously diamond drilled with

negative results, are not considered to be of economic significance.

The Creighton-North-Star-Whitewater Lake fault is considered to extend

onto the property* While it is reported that ore is present associated with

WINTERS' GROUP

- 7 -

this fault to the south, there are rery long portions along it where no ore-

bodies are known. There seems to be little reason to expect that it will

make ore on the ground under consideration* A theoretical case might be

made out - by taking into account the bulge in the micropegmatite to the

southwest and projecting this in some way to the norite footwall, the structure

then being out by a fault which had made ore at some point along its length

could arouse interesting speculation as to the presence of orebodies at depth

in this area. The postulates are highly theoretical and no information could

be obtained to shed light on the problem*

RECOMMENDATIONS

It is considered that insufficient favorable information was obtained

regarding the possibility of the occurrence of commercial ore on this

property to justify its further investigation at this time.

REPORT OK THE MAGNETOMETER SURVEY

OF THE

WINTERS' GRODP

BLEZARD AND RJLTtSIpE TOWNSHIPS DISTRICT OP SUDBURY

CTTARIU

INTRODUCTION

The property consists of 57 claims, 29 in Bleiard and 8 in Bayside

townships* It comprises claims Nos. S-57125, 57126, 57150 to 57156 inclusive

in Blezard township and 59617 to 59625 inclusive in Rayside township*

The property is situated in the Sudbury Mining Division and is located

some 2^ to 5 miles northwesterly from the Frood Mine of International Nickel

Company in Sudbury* It may be reached from the township roads in the area*

An Hydro-Electric Power Commission transmission line was under process of

erection across the southeastern portion of the property while this survey

was being conducted*

GENERAL GEOLOGY iinesweaee ea MA i BLEZARD 020

The property is characterised by generally rounded glaciated hills,

lightly covered by overburden, in places rising out of swampy ground.

Vegetation is sparse consisting mostly of low bushes.

The property is underlain, almost entirely, by very uniform micro

pegmatite, the upper portion of the Sudbury Irruptive mass.

In the district orebodies which are usually magnetic occur at the

base of or below the norite, the lower differentiate of the Sudbury Irruptive*

It was considered possible that if magnetic bodies were present, even at con

siderable depth below the surface, their presence might be detected by a

magnetometer survey. Such an investigation has repeatedly disclosed the

presence of faulting (often due to the development of secondary magnetite) in

WIITERS* GROUP

other areas and it was felt that a magnetometer surrey here could be of con

siderable assistance in indicating faults or fault extensions* As faulting

or shearing is normally present, associated with the orebodies, the detection

of their presence was considered important.

MAGNETOMETER SURVEY

The magnetic intensity readings taken during the surrey were found

to be all relatively weak and uniform. No areas of high or low readings were

found and the maximum range between the highest and lowest readings recorded

was of the order of 335 gammas, a very small range indeed* No magnetic

anomalies were noted in the interpretation, nor did the probable faults and

contacts show up in any recognizable pattern even within the range of

intensities measured*

A base line running east and west (magnetic) was established near the

middle of the property and picket lines were turned off normal to this at

400-foot intervals. Stations were established at 100-foot intervals along

the picket lines and the magnetometer readings were taken at these points*

As the property lies in surveyed townships and because no township

posts or other markers could be definitely located, it was decided that, to

be sure the proper ground was surveyed, it was advisable to run a traverse to

the geodetic station located in lot 2 concession II, Rayside township. This

was done and the relative locations are indicated on the accompanying plans*

Claims numbers 57132, 33, 34 and 36 in the northeast corner of the

property are entirely covered by swamp and so cannot be traversed during the

summer* They were not included in this survey*

A Sharpe Model DIM Magnetometer was used in this survey with a coil

constant of 26*1 gammas per milliamp. Corrections were made for diurnal and

dally variations.

WIBTRBS* GROUP- 10 -

COHCLUSIQH3

It is considered that the survey revealed remarkably uniform magnetic

conditions over the whole property and no particular portion in of unusual

interest because of magnetic properties* No further work can be recommended

as a result of this survey*
