Introduction
During the 2004 mapping season, three claim blocks of the Manchester property were mapped at a scale of l :2000. The property measures 4.47 square kilometers of which 3.2 square kilometers were mapped this summer. The property is located in Falconbridge and Dryden townships. Approximately 14 days were spent on the property.
The focus of this exploration effort has been to find an extension of the Manchester offset dike. The quartz-diorite dike has been found on the northeast claim block of the property. The strike of the dike can be traced southwest into the other claim blocks.
The property can be accessed by driving north from the town of Wahnapitae on Colonization Road for about 2 kilometers. Access is also available via the Falconbridge smelter facility but permission from their management is necessary before crossing their ground.
Bedrock exposure is extremely good on most of the property. Only a thin layer of overburden covers the rocks. Small birch, maple, oak, alder, and other trees are found on most of the property. Newly planted red pine trees appear to be about 5 years old.
Previous Work
hi 1969, L.G. Frank reported work for Pershland Gold Mines Ltd. No details of this work are available.
A regional geology compilation was made in 1961 by I.E. Thompson for the Ontario Department of Mines (Map 2017).
The surrounding area has been explored extensively for kyanite deposits and some nunes have operated to the east of the Manchester property.
Work Carried Out
A geologist and an assistant spent 14 days mapping and sampling this property. Mapping was conducted at a scale of l :2000. 11 samples were collected and are stored at the Wallbridge exploration office. One of the samples was made into a thin section.
Geology - Rock Descriptions
The rock types in this area are dominantly Proterozoic quartz arenites and conglomerates of the Huronian Supergroup, and diabase intrusions.
A unit of quartz arenite occupies the majority of the area. It is fine-grained and well bedded, often displaying good cross-bedding. It is pink, brown, or gray in outcrop, but light colored on fresh surfaces. The rock contains about 70 to SO'J'o quartz with
weathered feldspars in the remainder. The rock produces patchy outcrops with a thin layer of soil filling in between the upturned beds. Associated with the quartz arenites is a small unit of metasediments found only in the southwest corner of the property. This rock contains abundant small, dark colored porphyroblasts that weather easily giving the outcrops a pitted appearance. It appears in thin beds with quartz arenite in between.
The conglomerate is matrix supported and polylithic. The matrix is dark and contains a large amount of biotite. The majority of the clasts appear to be well rounded fragments of plutonic rocks. They range in size from a few centimeters to several meters. The rock is fairly massive, but in some places there is an alignment in the clasts that may represent bedding. The majority of the conglomerate occurs in the northeast claim block of the Dryden township claims.
The diabase occurs as large, massive, medium to coarse-grained intrusions and as meter thick, fine-grained dikes that intrude the sediments. The massive diabase is black and rough textured. It occurs in large, rounded outcrops and are found mostly in the southeast portion of the property. Pods of pegmatititic diabase also occur here in sharp contact with the regular diabase. The fine-grained dikes appear to be younger as they were found, at one location, to be cutting the massive diabase. The dikes are straight and can usually be traced across several outcrops. The majority of the diabase, of both types, is located at the southern limits of the property.
Sudbury breccia also occurs in the area. It occurs as thin seams of fine grained matrix or as zones of massive brecciation. The massive brecciation occurs mostly along contacts between sediments and diabases and is concentrated at the southern end of the property. Fragments of local country rock are suspended hi fine matrix material. They are rotated from their original orientation and usually well rounded. The matrix is slightly recrystallized, but this is believed to be caused by burial rather than by contact metamorphism induced from the S.I.C. The breccia is harder to recognize here than in the north range because the matrix is the same color as the host rock.
Sampling
Eleven samples were collected from Sudbury breccia and other rock types throughout the property. Due to time constraints and lack of apparent mineralization, these samples were collected only as representative examples of the rocks in those areas and will not be sent for assay. One sample of Sudbury breccia was made into a thin section.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The extension of the Manchester offset dike was not located during the course of mapping during this field season despite a very large amount of exposed bedrock. Several large areas of Sudbury breccia may be of interest for further exploration efforts since these zones could act as conduits for the quartz-diorite dikes. The known portions of the Manchester offset dike is "enclosed within a colinear zone of massive Sudbury breccia." (Grand and Bite, 1984). An extension of the dike would be expected to occur in an area where Sudbury breccia is also found.
No geophysical work has been done on the area. If the company wishes to retain these claims, it should consider doing mag and IP to confirm the locations of faults and to detect any prospective mineralization.
Respectfully submitted,
Mike Fell
