A REPORT ON

OVERBURDEN DRILLING

TULLY TOWNSHIP

BY

C. ROCKINGHAM

WESTERN MINES LIMITED

OCTOBER 1979

RECEIVEDDEC

SECIIOH

INTRODUCTION;

During the fall of 1979 a programme of overburden

drilling was completed by Western Mines Limited on claims

held in Tully Township.

PROPERTY;

The property consists of eighty-seven claims which are

located in Tully and Prosser Townships. The claims are as

follows:

P.339239 to P.339253 - 15 claims

P.452503 to P.452508 - 6 claims

P.501046 to P.501065 - 20 claims

P.501071 to P.501092 - 22 claims

P.504762 to P.504784 - 23 claims

P.505807 - l claim

FIELD PROGRAM:

A field program of overburden and bedrock drilling was

carried out under contract to Bradley Bros, for Western Mines

Limited.

During the period from October 9 to October 16, fourteen

overburden drill holes were drilled. Total footage drilled was

1582.5 feet. All overburden was sampled except the clay sections

The depth of holes varied from 56 feet in hole 79-27 to greater

than 324 feet in hole 79-29 which failed to reach bedrock.

The location of the holes are as follows:

An assessment credit of 1361 days is submitted against the

following claims.

DESCRIPTION OF OVERBURDEN AND BEDROCK DRILLING AND SAMPLING;

The equipment was a Longyear drill converted to dual

tube reverse circulation. It is mounted on a Nodwell FN-160

carrier. Power for the drill is taken from the drill engine

with aid of hydraulics. The drill string comprised 9 foot

sectional dual-tube rods of 2 15/15" size and a standard tri-

cone 15/16 bit. Rapid and reliable penetration and recovery

of glacial overburden is achieved with a combination of air and

water and a 20 foot continuous feed.

Water is pumped down between the outer and inner tubes

to exit near the bit cone. The resultant mixture of water and

sediment is returned up the centre tube of the drill string and

discharges through a l foot diameter steel funnel (cyclone) into

a j^ 300 gallon water recovery tank, thus allowing for recycling

of drill water.

Silt/ sand gravel are collected below the discharge

cyclone in 5 gallon plastic pails which rest upon a steel grate

lying on the top of the recovery tank. The clay size fraction

is allowed to overflow the pail into the tank. Figure 2, which

is reproduced from G.S.C. Open File #116, 1972, is a schematic

version of this sampling system.

A 10 mesh Tyler screen is placed over the bucket to

allow the geologist to continuously log the nature of the coarser

drift particles, i.e. sand, gravel and till chunks, and a portion

of the -t-10 mesh fraction may be temporarily retained for field

geological examination. In normal practice, however, the +10

mesh fraction is dumped into the bucket at the end of each run

so that all sediment, exclusive of clay fines, are available

for laboratory investigation. Samples are bagged from each run

at periodic intervals are transported to a central laboratory.

Drilling continues below the glacial drift section

into bedrock for depths of l ft. to 5 ft. The +10 mesh bedrock

chips, which are up to 1/2" in diameter, are collected on the

Tyler screen during drilling and kept separately from -10 mesh

bedrock fines which pass into the sample bucket.

LABORATORY TEST WORK;

The samples, as received from the drill, are sent to

the Overburden Management Ltd., in Ottawa, for heavy metal

separation. The samples are passed through a 10 mesh screen and

the -10 mesh part (most of the sample) is passed over a shaking

table and the heavys and lights are separated. The heavy fraction

is dried, mixed with a solution of methylene iodide of 3.35G and

the heavy part of the heavys are collected. A 3/4 split of the

heavy segment is then sent to the Bondar-Clegg Laboratory for

analysis of copper, zinc, lead, nickel, silver, and gold.

Bedrock chips from each hole are also collected, examined

and analysed.
