ATilON AND KKCOMMJ'iNDAT] ONS

There are several interesting targets which

are associated with the main magnetic feature located

within this survey area. The best targets for ground

investigation are those numbered 15 and 27. Both of

these zones exhibit excellent conductivity and have

direct magnetic correlation. Both of these conductors

demand ground work. The other conductors that are

associated with this strong magnetic feature should

also be investigated as it is apparent that all of

these zones have their origin in bedrock.

The following is a discussion of the conductors^

and recommendations are given as to the order of the

ground work.

Conductors ftl to ft8

All of these conductors exhibit poor conductiv

ity and it is felt that a low priority be given to these

with regard to ground follow-up.

Conductor #9

This weak E.M. response is associated with a

sharp magnetic feature and for this reason ground work

should be carried out.

Conductor ft]O

This weak conductor is associated with a magnetic

high which adds interest. Magnetite could possibly be

the cause of the E.M. anomaly. A low priority is given

to the anomaly.

Conductor Jill

A low priority is given to this weak conductor

which exhibits only fair conductivity.

Page 4: WINISK RIVER AREA - Ontario · 2017-01-17 · INTRODUCTION This report contains our interpretation of the results of an airborne electromagnetic survey and magnetic survey flown in

This basement conductor is associated with the

prominent magnetic feature. Sulphides could possibly

be the cause of this conductor and the recommended sec

tions for ground work are from intercepts 37 C to 47 A.

A high priority is given.

Conductor #3:3

This weak conductor is situated at the nose of

a magnetic high. A moderate priority is given to this

short conductor, and it is felt that ground work should

definitely be carried out while work is being done on

the other conductors in the vicinity.

Conductor #14

Good conductivity is exhibited by the intercepts

of this short conductor which has direct magnetic corre

lation. Sulphides could be the cause and therefore a

high priority is given.

Conductor #15

This zone is on strike with conductor #14 and

a high priority is again given to this conductor. Inter

cept 60 F exhibits excellent conductivity and it is felt

that sulphides are the cause. This is a top priority

target.

Conductors #16 and #17

Both of these conductors are weak and exhibit

poor conductivity. They exist on the north and south

flanks of the magnetic feature, and they may reflect

some minor sulphides or graphite within a contact zone.

A low priority is given.

Page 5: WINISK RIVER AREA - Ontario · 2017-01-17 · INTRODUCTION This report contains our interpretation of the results of an airborne electromagnetic survey and magnetic survey flown in

Moderate to poor conductivity is shown by the

intercepts along this conductor, but it is apparently

a basement conductor as it is associated with a magnetic

high. Minor amounts of sulphides or magnetite could be/

possibly,the cause of the conductor. Ground work on a

moderate priority is suggested.

Conductor #19

This long conductor varies in strength and con

ductivity along its strike. Ground work should be done

on sections of this conductor at places where good con

ductivity is exhibited and where there is good magnetic

correlation. Suggested intercepts to cover are 71 C,

72 B, and 76 D.

Conductor #20

This short isolated conductor should be consider

ed in a ground programme because of its isolation, short

strike length and moderate magnetic correlation. The con

ductivity of the conductor is fair.

Conductor #21

Magnetite or a serpentized peridotite could be

the cause of this conductor. The intercepts along this

zone exhibit poor conductivity and there is a high magnetic

correlation with the zone. A low priority is given.

Conductors #22 to #25

All of these conductors exhibit poor conductivity

and these are not considered to be good targets for base

metal possibilities. Low priority is given to these con

ductors.

r j[26

This y,one i s comprised of several short weak

conductors. Poor conductivity is exhibited by the in

tercepts and therefore a low priority is given.

Conduetor #27

Excellent conductivity is shown by intercept 91 C

and ground work should definitely be done to cover this

particular intercept. The magnetic correlation with the

intercepts lead one to suspect that pyrrhotite is the

cause. A high priority is given.

Conductors #28, #29, and #3O

These three long conductors are outside of the

claim block and therefore adequate coverage does not ex

ist. Good conductivity is, however, exhibited by the

intercepts of conductors #28 and #29, and they definitely

have their origin in the basement rocks.

APPENDIX

KQU1PMKNJT

The aircraft arc equipped with Mark V INPUT

airborne K. M. systems and Barringer AM-101 proton pre

cession magnetometers. APN-1 radio altimeters are used

for vertical control. The outputs of these instruments

together with fiducial timing marks are recorded by means

of galvanometer type recorders using light sensitive pa

per. Thirty-five mm continuous strip cameras are used to

record the actual flight path.

(I) MA RK V INPUT SYSTEM

The Induced Pulse Transient (INPUT) system is

particularly well suited to the problems of overburden

penetration. Currents are induced into the ground by

means of a pulsed primary electromagnetic field which is

generated in a transmitting loop around the aircraft. By

using half sine wave current pulses and a loop of large

turns-area, the high output, power needed for deep pene

tration is achieved.

The induced current in a conductor produces

a secondary electromagnetic field which is detected and

measured after the termination of each primary pulse. De

tection is accomplished by means of a receiving coil towed

behind the aircraft on five hundred feet of cable, and

the received signal is processed and recorded by equipment

in the aircraft. Since the measurements are in the time

domain rather than the frequency domain common to contin

uous wave systems/ interference effects of the primary trans

mitted field are eliminated. The secondary field is in the

form of a decaying voltage transient originating in time

at the termination of the transmitted pulse. The amplitude

of the transient is, of course, proportional to the amount

of current induced into the conductor and, in turn, this

current is proportional to the dimensions, the conductivity

and the depth beneath the aircraft.

Page 8: WINISK RIVER AREA - Ontario · 2017-01-17 · INTRODUCTION This report contains our interpretation of the results of an airborne electromagnetic survey and magnetic survey flown in

(ii)

The rate of decay of the transient is inverse

ly proportional to conductivity. By sampling the decay

curve at six different time intervals, and recording the

amplitude of each sample, an estimate of the relative con

ductivity can be obtained. By this means, it is possible

to discriminate between the effects due to conductive near-

surface materials such as swamps and lake bottom silts, and

those due to genuine bedrock sources. The transients due

to strong conductors such as sulphides exhibit long decay

curves and are therefore commonly recorded on all six chan

nels. Sheet-like surface materials, on the other hand,

have short decay curves and will normally only show a re

sponse in the first two or three channels.

The samples, or gates, are positioned at 300,

500, 700, 1100, 1500 and 1900 micro-seconds after the ces

sation of the pulse. The widths of the gates 'are 200, 300,

400, 600, 600, and 600 micro-seconds respectively.

For homogeneous conditions, the transient decay

will be exponential and the time constant of decay is equal

to the time difference at two successive sampling points

divided by the log ratio of the amplitudes at these points.

(II) BARRINGER AM-101A PROTON PRECESSION MAGNETOMETER

The AM-101A magnetometer which measures the to

tal magnetic field has a sensitivity of 5 gammas and a

range from 20,000 gammas to 100,000 gammas.

Because of the high intensity field produced

by the INPUT transmitter, the magnetometer results are re

corded on a time-shciring basis. The magnetometer head is

energized while the transmitter is on, but the readout is

obtained during a short period when the transmitter is off.

Using this technique, the head is energized for 1,15 seconds

and then the transmitter is switched off for 0.15 seconds

while the precession frequency is being recorded and convert

ed to gammas. Thus a magnetic reading is taken every 1.3

seconds.

A sample record is included at the end of the

report identifying the method used to correct for the pos

ition of the E.M. "Bird" and identifies the parameters on

each channel. Occasionally, a question mark may be shown

alongside the anomaly symbol. This may occur when the res

ponse is very weak and there is some doubt as to whether or

not it is caused by turbulence or compensation noise caused

by large changes in the position of the "bird" relative to

the aircraft.

All the anomaly locations, magnetic correlations,

and the amplitudes of channel number 4 are listed on the

data sheets accompanying the final maps.

GENERAL INTERFERE TAT I ON

The INPUT system will respond to conductive over

burden and near-surface horizontal conducting layers in ad

dition to bedrock conductors. Differentiation is based on

the rate of transient decay, magnetic correlation and the

anomaly shape together with the conductor pattern and topo

graphy.

Power lines sometimes produce spurious anomalies

but these can be identified by reference to the monitor

channel.

Railroad and pipeline responses are recognized

by studying the film strips.

Graphite or carbonaceous material exhibits a wide

range of conductivity. When long conductors without magne

tic correlation are located on or parallel to known faults

or photographic linears, graphite is most likely the cause.

Contact zones can often be predicted when anom-

aly trends coincide with the lines of maximum gradient

along a flanking magnetic anomaly. It is unfortunate that

graphite can also occur as relatively short conductors and

produce attractive looking anomalies. With no other inform

ation than the airborne results, these must be examined on

the ground.

Serpentized peridotites often produce anomalies

with a character that is fairly easy to recognize. The

conductivity which is probably caused in part by magnetite,

is fairly low so that the anomalies often have a fairly

large response on channel #1; they decay rapidly, and they

have strong magnetic correlation. INPUT E.M. anomalies

over massive magnetites show a relationship to the total

Fe content. Below 2 5-3Q%, very little or no response at

all is obtained but as the percentage increases the anoma

lies become quite strong, with a characteristic rate of de

cay which is usually greater than that produced by massive

sulphides.

Commercial sulphide ore bodies are rare, and

those that respond to airborne survey methods usually have

medium to high conductivity. Limited lateral dimensions

are to be expected and many have magnetic correlation caused

by magnetite or pyrrhotite. Provided that the ore bodies

do not occur within formational conductive zones as mention

ed above, the anomalies caxised by them will usually be re

cognized on an E.M. map as priority targets.

INTRODUCTION

This report contains our interpretation of

the results of an airborne electromagnetic survey

and magnetic survey flown in the Winisk River Area,

Ontario, on February 23, 1971. A brief description

of the survey procedure together with recommendations

for ground follow-up is included.

The survey totalled 55 line miles and was per

formed by Questor Surveys Limited. The survey air

craft was a .Super Canso CF-JMS and the operating base

was Winisk^ Ontario.

The area outline is shown in a 1:250,000 map

at the end of this report. This is part of the Nation

al Topographic Series sheet, number 43 L.

MAP COMPILATION

The base maps are uncontrolled mosaics con

photographs. These mosaics were reproduced at a scale

o ^ l" ~ 1320' on stable transparent film from which

white prints can be made.

Flight path recovery was accomplished by com

parison of the prints of the 35 mm film with the mosaic

in order to locate the fiducial points. These points

are approximately one mile apart.

'J'hcro arc many conductors indicated on the

INPUT map and some of those arc outside of the claim

block. All of the conductors eire discussed below and

no regard has been given to the claim boundary. It

is felt that all of these conductors have their source

in bedrock and therefore all of them should be consid

ered in a ground follow-up programme. Some, however,

should be given more emphasis than others. The conduct

ors that should be given f j.rst consideration are those

conductors numbered 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19.

These five conductors all exhibit good conduct

ivity and are associated with what is believed to be an

iron foundation. Sulphides; could be the cause of these

conductors and therefore they should be considered as

top priority targets. The following discussion of the

various zones is offered as a guide to priorities when

investigating the conductors on the ground.

9.S 10. Low priority ratings are given to both of these

conductive zones.

11. This strong zone exhibits good conductivity and

exists along the flank of a strong magnetic feature.

Portions of this conductor should be investigated as it

is apparent that the cause of the conductor is graphite

and/or sulphides.

12. Intercepts 21 C and 22 C are possible indications

of a ground conductor axis. These were selected as anom

alies because there is an inflection of the INPUT traces

between the responses of the stronger zones to the north

and south of conductor #12. If this conductor is valid,

it is probably an extension of conductor #13 and it could

be investigcited at the same time.

13. Due to the strong conductors to the south, good

resolution of this zone did not result. Fair to poor

conductivity is exhibited by the anomaly intercepts with

in the zone.

14. Good conductivity is shown by the anomalies along

this trend which exists along the flank of a strong mag

netic feature (iron formation). The strike length of

approximately 3,000 feet adds interest. Ground work on

Page 17: WINISK RIVER AREA - Ontario · 2017-01-17 · INTRODUCTION This report contains our interpretation of the results of an airborne electromagnetic survey and magnetic survey flown in

a high priority basin is recommended.

15. 'J'he axis of conductor #15 is situated along the

peak of the iron formation. Good conductivity is shown

by the intercepts and it is felt that this conductor is

caused by sulphides associfited with the iron formation.

Ground work is definitely warranted on this conductor

and the obvious portions of the conductor to sample are

the centres of the magnetic highs.

16.&17. These two conductors are parallel to conductor #15

and flank the major magnetic peak. Good conductivity is

shown by these conductors and these should be investigated

on the ground on a high priority basis. Sulphides could

be the cause.

18. This conductor is poorly defined due to the in

fluence of conductor #15. Conductor #18 has moderate con

ductivity and is considerably weaker than conductor #15.

Ground work on a moderate priority is recommended.

19. In some sections along the strike of conductor #19

the anomaly intercepts are poorly defined on the early

channels but as the anomaly persists through to the sixth

channel, better definition is achieved. This is seen on

intercept 38 D which exemplifies a bedrock conductor; in

this case, a basement conductor below surface conductivity.

Good conductivity is shown by the responses along this

trend and ground work from intercept 26 D to 32 C is recom

mended. Sulphides could be the cause.

20. This conductor parallels zone #19 and the west end

is stronger than zone #19, but the conductivity of conduc

tor #20 is not as good as that shown by conductor #19.

This zone, however, should be investigated and it could

be incorporated in the same grid as conductor #19.

21.-25. All of these conductors are weaker zones than

those that are associated with the iron formation (i.e.

conductors #11 to #20). It is felt, however, that these
