1. INTRODUCTION

JVX Ltd. conducted a time-domain SPECTRAL induced polarization (IP) and resistivity survey from January 5 through 10, 1997 on behalf of Avalon Ventures Limited. The work was positioned on the Stewart grid in Conmee Township, Ontario (NTS 52 A/12). The survey location is shown in Figure l and the survey grid is shown in Figure 2.

The purpose of this survey was to locate disseminated sulphide targets hosted in a series of Archean mafic flows and intrusives with interbedded metasediments. Earlier IP surveys in the area suggested the presence of several northeast-southwest trending zones of anomalous chargeability, cross cutting the local stratigraphy. These trends were followed to the east in the present survey.

4. FIELD INSTRUMENTATION and POLE-DIPOLE ARRAY

JVX supplied the geophysical instruments specified in Appendix A.

4.1 IP TRANSMITTER

The transmitter consists of a power source (motor-generator) and an electronic control unit. The Motor-Generator Set consists of an 8 H.P. Briggs and Stratton four-stroke engine, coupled to a brushless permanent magnet alternator. The 400 Hz power supplied by the alternator is rectified and controlled by the Scintrex EPC7 transmitter, employing solid-state components both for power-switching and control circuits. The output waveform and frequency are switch-selectable. An interrupted square wave of 2 seconds duration was used for the time domain measurements. The transmitter timing is crystal-controlled for high stability. The IPC7 features overload, underload and thermal protection for maximum safety. Stabilization circuitry ensures that the output current is automatically controlled to within 10Vo and the input voltage is stabilized by means of a dummy load during interruption times. Transmitter current is continuously monitored throughout each reading and data are relayed to the receiver operator by VHP radio link. Voltage and circuit resistance are noted for each station by reference to the transmitter's analogue panel meters.

Basically, the Motor-Generator and Transmitter function as follows. The motor turns the generator (alternator) at a governed speed, which produces 400 Hz, single phase, 230 V AC. This energy is transformed upwards according to a front panel voltage setting in a large transformer housed in the IPC7. The resulting AC is then rectified in a bridge and applied to a solid state commutator that controls the DC pulse duration.

4.2 IP RECEIVER

The Scintrex IPR-11 Time Domain Induced Polarization/Resistivity Receiver is primarily applied in precious and base metal mineral deposit exploration. The EPR-11 accepts signals from up to six potential dipoles simultaneously. Data are then recorded in solid-state memory along with automatically calculated parameters. It is compatible with transmitters that output square waves with equal on and off periods and polarity changes each half cycle. These periods can vary in duration from l to 32 seconds. The EPR-11 measures the primary voltage (Vp), self potential (SP) and time domain induced polarization (Mi) characteristics of the received waveform. The primary voltage, self potential and individual transient windows are continuously averaged and updated every cycle. Depending on the receive time, 10 to 14 predetermined windows are measured for each dipole. Chargeability data for each slice can be displayed on the receiver panel, allowing a skilled operator to monitor data quality and, if necessary, split dipoles. This is a technique where differing currents are used to obtain data from the near and far ends

J VX

of the potential array, optimizing signal levels for the highest quality of chargeability measurements.

4.2.1 The Pole-Dipole Array

The "pole-dipole" survey configuration was used. The array was made up of 8 mobile electrodes: one current electrode C] and seven potential electrodes (Pi to P? connected to the receiver by means of the "Snake"). The infinity current location C2 was maintained at a large distance from the grid. In general, this is at least 10 times the potential electrode spacing "a" times 6 (the maximum number of "n" used in the pole-dipole survey).

If necessary, one or two stainless steel IP current electrodes were driven in parallel to the CI electrode to provide enhanced current coupling.

5. DATA PROCESSING

After being transferred to a field computer at the end of each survey day, the data were examined, corrected, and organized by the instrument operator. The results were plotted on a

* STAR NX-80 colour dot-matrix printer

These plots were used to monitor progress and data quality, and to make an initial interpretation.

5.1 IP AND RESISTIVITY

The data were sent by courier to the head office of JVX in Richmond Hill, Ontario. They were processed and results were plotted on the following printers as was necessary:

* HEWLETT PACKARD DESIGNJET 750C 36 inch colour plotter* HEWLETT PACKARD Laser printer

The processing procedure is outlined below:

1) JVX software was used to perform spectral analysis of the time-domain data. This step is crucial in maximizing the information that can be obtained from IP data. This software analyses the shape of the IP decay curve, giving information about:

* the grain size (indicated by the parameter lau),* the uniformity of the grain size (indicated by c), and* the magnitude of the chargeable source (indicated by M-1 P).

The GEOSOFT IP Package was used to generate colour and black and white pseudosections of chargeability and resistivity data.

2) The GEOSOFT Mapping Package was used to process plan and stacked maps.

3) Plan maps of both chargeability and resistivity data were produced using JVX in-house software and the GEOSOFT Mapping Package. Additional drafting on these maps was done manually or through AutoCAD.

Step l, was performed both in the field and in the head office. Steps 2 and 3 were performed at the head office.

6. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

The IP data were collected using two general grid orientations. North south grid lines are used to identify east west anomalies and the northwest-southeast grid lines are used to identify northeast-southwest anomalies. The strength of the anomalies are relative to anomalies discovered on the same grid. That is, due to instrument and orientation differences, it is not possible to do relative strength comparisons between anomalies discovered by the different surveys.

Several broad north south magnetic and apparent resistivity zones have been identified from previous work. However, it is the weaker, cross-cutting east-west structures that are of primary interest for economic mineralization.

The four most recently surveyed IP lines are on the north-south lines 129E through L132E. Several IP chargeability zones have been identified on these lines. Previous IP, magnetics and VLF-EM data are also presented on the Compilation Map. A brief discussion of these results follows.

Induced Polarization Results:

IP-1 through IP-6 are east west trending IP chargeability zones detected on the present IP survey. IP-1 and IP-4 consist of several sub-zones (see Compilation Map). Spectral time constant tau are medium in length over these anomalies indicating medium-grained sulphides. Spectral MTP values range are highest in zones IP-1 through IP-4 ^200 mV/V) and lowest in IP-5 and IP-6 (^00 mV/V). This value gives an indication of the quantity of sulphides. Less than 200 mV/V is generally indicative of minor sulphides.

IP-1: Most of the IP anomalies within this zone coincide with, or are adjacent to, high to very high apparent resistivity anomalies. This suggests a relationship between the chargeable sulphides and possible silicification. The main exception occurs on L129E where a weak apparent resistivity low anomaly may be related to an alteration or shear zone. The peak of the chargeability anomalies is deepest in the eastern part of the zone ^3 50 metres depth). IP-la and IP-lb are western extensions of this zone based on previous IP data. The overall complex shapes and orientations of the zones and sub-zones is indicative of high geologic variability (e.g., faulting/folding). This is important since economic mineralization may be concentrated within a structure.

IP-2: This IP zone is strongest in the west and weakest in the east. It is relatively deep throughout except in the west where it peaks at n^l (near or at surface). This is opposite to the deepening direction of IP-1. Most of the chargeable anomalies coincide with very high apparent resistivity values, a fact which is indicative of silicification.

J VX

IP-3: IP-3 is a relatively narrow zone stretching across the four survey lines. It varies in depth from n^ in the centre to n=6 in the west. The IP anomalies are related to very high apparent resistivity (silicification?) except at L132E where the chargeability anomaly coincides with an apparent resistivity low anomaly (alteration?).

IP-4: This zone consists of a number of sub-zones and splays. IP-4a and IP-4b are the northwest extensions of the main zone, inferred from previous IP data obtained on the angled Noranda grid. IP-4 and IP-4a are related to minor east west trending sulphides (the target of this project) whereas IP-4b is related to northeast-southwest trending sulphides.

IP-5, IP-6 and VLF-1: These weak-to-very-weak IP zones are located in the northern part of the grid. The chargeability anomalies generally coincide with weakly high to high apparent resistivity anomalies. IP-5 is along the same trend as VLF conductor axis VLF-1 which extends westwards (see Compilation Map). IP-6 may be related to IP-6a interpreted from the Noranda grid IP survey. However, the northern part ofIP-6a generally coincides with VLF-1. The northern part of IP-6a and possibly IP-5 (VLF coverage did not extend over this IP zone) may be the result of sulphides and conductive materials (alteration/clay). IP-6 is the only IP zone identified in the present survey with short time constant tau which is indicative of fine-grained sulphides (the rest of the spectral IP zones have medium time constants).

IP- 7: This northeast-southwest zone generally coincides with VLF conductor axes trends identified on the Compilation Map. The strongest IP anomalies within this zone are on lines l OSE and 109E (Noranda Grid) which are in the immediate vicinity of the VLF conductors.

Magnetics and VLF-EM results:

Magnetic and VLF data have been re-examined and compiled on the Compilation Map. Magnetic high zones provide information about lithologic and structural variations over the property, helping to prioritize IP target anomalies. VLF conductor axes have been interpreted with a Fraser filter operation on the in-phase component of the data. This provided additional evidence of subtle but clearly defined east-west trends that may be related to economic mineralization.

The magnetic high zones generally coincide with the IP anomalies. In the western half of the property, the northeast-southwest trending IP-7 chargeability zone partially coincides with a magnetic high zone. Much of the eastern part of the grid and IP zones appears to be related to a broad north south magnetic high zone. This

J VX

is indicative of pyrrhotite or other magnetic mineralization which in some cases may be associated with the chargeable sulphides.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

Several economic mineralization target areas have been identified on the Compilation Map. Spectral IP supplied more information and higher priority targets are identified on the 'Avalon Grid'.

— HIGH PRIORITY—

HI (Avalon srid: L129+OOE/stn.lOO+OON):

This near surface (11=1) target is located in the vicinity of an Occurrence. Spectral MIP and tau are 254 mV/V and short respectively. The IP zone is east west trending and includes an additional Occurrence, approximately 250 metres due west. The IP anomaly coincides with very high apparent resistivity values. It should be investigated for economic mineralization associated with moderate fine-grained sulphides and silicification.

H2 (Avalon srid: L129+OOE/stn.98+75N):

Target H2 is a moderate IP anomaly with MDH214 mV/V and tau=short. It is located at n^3 (-20-40 metres depth) and coincides with an apparent resistivity low anomaly. It should be investigated for economic mineralization associated with moderate fine grained sulphides within or near an alteration/shear zone.

H3 (Avalon srid: L132+OOE/stn.l03+OON):

This is a very weak IP anomaly that is located at the edge of a magnetic high zone andless than 100 metres west of an Occurrence. It is along the trend of VLF-1 which is the strongest VLF conductor identified from the old survey. The IP anomaly coincides with a weak apparent conductivity high anomaly, a fact which suggests silicification. Spectral MIP are relatively high for such a weak anomaly (MIP^87 mV/V) and spectral tau are short characteristics of a target ideal for gold exploration.

H4 (Avalon srid: L129+OOE/stn.l04+OON):

This target has characteristics similar to those of H4. It is slightly stronger and coincides with a high apparent resistivity zone. It is also located along the edge of a magnetic high zone. Spectral MTP and tau are 143 mV/V and short respectively which makes this less attractive for sulphides; however may still contain economic mineralization.

J VX

— MEDIUM PRIORITY —

Ml (Noranda Detail Grid: L206+50E to L207+OOE/stn200+25N):

This target is located at the junction of several IP sub-zones and splays. It is also located at an Occurrence. The IP anomaly was identified on both Noranda grids (different EP survey orientations). In the absence of spectral information, it is not possible to quantify the source of the anomaly, except that it is likely related to relatively major sulphides since it was identified on both Noranda grids (different IP survey orientations). Economic mineralization may be concentrated by folds and/or faults which would explain the IP sub-zones and splays.

M2 (Avalon srid: L129+OOE/stn.92+OON):

The spectral IP anomaly at this target location is 473 mV/V and long for the MIP and tau values respectively. This is typical for coarse-grained or linked massive sulphides. The target is interesting since a known gold zone is located in the vicinity and several branches from the IP-1 zone appear to intersect at this location. This is indicative of a complex geologic environment that may act to form favourable mineralization.

M3 andM4 (Avalon srid: L129+OOE/stn.95+OON C& L 130+OOE/stn.96+OON):

These targets are relatively deep 0^=4, ~50 m). DP anomalies are moderately strong with MIP and tau being 263 mV/V/short and 221 mV/V/short respectively. They both coincide with very high apparent resistivity anomalies. Their coinciding IP zones (IP-2 and IP-3) are east west trending.

— LOW PRIORITY—

LI (Inco Grid: vicinity of 189+OOE/stn. 102+OON):

This broad target area encompasses two VLF conductor axes. It is also located at the junction of two IP-7 branches. The magnetic high data generally coincide with the shape of this IP zone. The area should be investigated for structural features which may be related to economic mineralization.

L2 (Inco Grid: vicinity ofL84+OOE/stn.97+50N):

This target is similar to LI in that it is located at the junction between branches of IP zone IP- 7 and a magnetic high zone. It is also located along a gold trend.

J VX

L3 (Noranda Grid: LI l l+OOE/stn.l06+OON):

This low priority target has been selected to test IP zone IP-4b. The IP anomaly at this location coincides with a high apparent resistivity anomaly which should be tested for economic mineralization associated with silicification.

L4 (Noranda Grid: LI 13+OOE/stn.l09+OON):

This IP target coincides approximately with the junction between VLF-1 and VLF-2. VLF-2 is along the same trend as a known gold zone located in the area.

A program of geochemistry sampling is recommended to further prioritize IP anomalies and zones. Sampling should be along the IP zones/trends. Soil samples should be taken 'down-ice'. In deep overburden, enzyme leach techniques may be used.

PR-11 Broadband Time Domain IP Receiver

The microprocessor-based IPR-11 is the heart of a highly efficient system for measuring, recording and processing spectral IP data. More features than any remotely similar instrument will help you enhance signal/noise, reduce errors and improve data interpretation. On top of all this, tests have shown that survey time may be cut in half, compared with the instrument you may now be using.

The IPR-11 Broadband Time Domain IP Receiver is principally used in electrical (EfP) and magnetic (MIP) induced polari zation surveys for disseminated base metal occurrences such as porphyry cop per in acidic intrusives and lead-zinc

deposits in carbonate rocks In addition, this receiver is used in geoelectrical sur veying for deep groundwater or geother mal resources. For these latter targets, the induced polarization measurements may be as useful as the high accuracy resistivity results since it often happens that geological materials have IP contrasts when resistivity contrasts are absent. A third application of the IPR-11 is in induced polarization research projects such as the study of physical properties of rocks.

Due to its integrated, microprocessor- based design, the IPR-11 provides a large amount of induced polarization transient curve shape information from a remark ably compact, reliable and flexible format Data from up to six potential dipoles can be measured simultaneously and

Operator using the /PR-T J

recorded in solid-state memory. Then, the IPR-11 outputs data as: 1) visual digital display, 2) digital printer profile or pseudo- section plots, 3) digital printer listing,4) a cassette tape or floppy disk record.5) to a microcomputer or 6) to a modern unit for transmission by telephone. Using software available from Scintrex, all spect ral IP and EM coupling parameters can be calculated on a microcomputer.

The IPR-11 ts designed for use with the Scintrex line of transmitters, primarily the TSQ series of current and waveform stabilized models. Scintrex has been active in induced polarization research, development, manufacture, consulting and surveying for over thirty years and offers a full range of time and frequency domain instrumentation as well as all accessories necessary for IP surveying
