Introduction j^
During the summer and fall of 1997, the writer mappecj^claims ( 1 9
units), a strip approximately 10,000 feet long, westerly from the east
township boundary (Alma) by 3000 feet north to south. Approximately 11.6
kms of new line were cut over claim L. 1206320 and parts of claims
L. 1 1 80 1 65 and L. 1 22 1 766. This cutting was an extension to an existing grid
(25.0 kms) cut previously by Jilbey Industries Ltd. (Jilbey) by chain saw and
it was of high calibre. Of this earlier grid, 10 kms were rechained and
repicketed. Portions of the property covered by beaver ponds and swamp
were not recut.
The property is a gold prospect and this program was designed to
locate, explore and extend westerly the Kincaid fault (a branch of the Larder
Lake Break) which is known to be gold bearing in Holmes and Alma
Townships.

Location
The east and central parts of the property lie 10 kms east of
Matachewan, 35 kms west of Kirkland Lake, 9 kms north of Highway 66,
and is accessible in good weather by standard vehicles via the Separation
Lake road.
Description
The east and central parts of the Cunningham property contain 19
claim units covered by 8 claims numbered as follows:
L. 1 180148-49 L.I 180165 L. 1 206320-2 1 -22 L. 1221656 L. 1 22 1 766
Three claims (9 units) numbered 1 180149 and 1206321-22 were not covered
by line cutting or mapping. ^ i i. O 4 "i 2.0 oa A* c,A *Ac.e. ICe. fc
General Geology
The Kincaid fault, a branch of the Larder Lake Break, has been traced
in a westerly direction by drilling, stripping and mapping for three miles
across Holmes Township. It is marked by almost continuous low ground
with topographically higher ground (Dixon syenite) to the south and slightly
higher ground, mafic volcanics of the Kinojevis Group, to the north.
Approximately one mile west from the Alma Township boundary in Holmes
Township, the fault projection enters the Cairo syenite stock and is undefined
for approximately l '/z miles. West 1000 feet of the Holmes Township
boundary in Alma Township, three widely spaced (1500 feet), easterly
striking, narrow shears in syenite, one gold bearing, have been identified and
investigated. The most northerly of these shears lies approximately 800 feet
south of the assumed position of the Kincaid fault. Twenty-five hundred
(2500) feet to the west, one drill hole (88-7) by Jilbey intersected a 100-foot
wide zone of brecciated, silicified, chloritized syenite mineralized with pyrite
(Wo-S^o), molybdenite (G.5%), and chalcopyrite (occasional) which the
writer considers to be the Kincaid fault with an assumed easterly strike and
steep dip. It lies 100 feet south of the mafic volcanic contact and is assumed
to follow the contact southwesterly, although overburden covers any evidence
of it. Near the west boundary of the Cunningham ground and where the
syenite contact swings abruptly south, the fault apparently exits the Cairo
stock and a pronounced westerly striking depression with shearing and
carbonate alteration defines the structure in the mafic volcanics and renders it
tranceable westerly for over one mile.
A swarm of Matachewan diabase dikes form north/south ridges across
the property. Outcrop, which is not plentiful, is commonly found near the
dikes. The Kinojevis rocks are iron rich tholeiitic volcanics with narrow lean
ifpn formation interflow horizons and give a strong magnetic response in
comparison to the Cairo syenite.
History
The claims were intensively prospected in the 1920s. Patented claims,
now expired, existed in 1930 and covered many of the showings covered in
this report. None of this work exists in the assessment records. W.S. Dyer
(1935, ODM. Vol 44, Part 2, Map 44B) shows 3 patents covering the present
showings on claims LI 180148 and L1221656. No descriptions or values are
given. H.L. Lovell (ODM GR 41, 1967) refers to the Chief showing now
underwater in Claim L. 1180148. He states that Wm. Brookbank, a well
known, reliable prospector, now deceased, advised him that visible gold
existed in a quartz vein in syenite.
Svlva Explorations. 1981 assessment files #105 and #2597, described
this showing. It is the historical Chief showing and dates back prior to 1930.
Two quartz veins, in highly fractured syenite, 20 feet apart, with an easterly
strike, contain visible gold associated with pyrite-chalcopyrite
In 1965, Mcintyre Porcupine Mines cut a limited grid over the east
half of claim L1221656 and completed a magnetometer survey. One hole
tested a mag high with negative results (Assessment file # 1824).
In 1957, Triana Exploration (Assessment File #2718) mapped by pace
and compass methods approximately two claims being the east part of Claim
L1221656. A few small syenite outcrop are shown. The map is very
imprecise.
In 1972, Canadian Johns Manville mapped by pace and compass
traverses parts of Claims LI 180148, LI 180165, L1206320, L1221656 and
L1221766. Outcrop was sparse and syenite, mafic volcanics and diabase
dikes are noted. A biogeochemical survey was completed. Nothing of
economic significance was noted (Assessment File #347).
Between 1977 and 1988, almost all of the east Cunningham claims
were held by Jilbey Industries Ltd. The following work has been completed:
1977 Gold discovered at site F, Claim L. 1180148

Geology
During the winter of 1995-96, the Separation Lake access road,
westerly from the Alma-Holmes boundary, was improved and a network of
logging roads constructed to permit logging of parts of the property. This
facilitated access and created new outcrop, but the percentage of outcrop area
on the property is low.
The northern contact of the Cairo syenite stock strikes northeasterly
across the area with syenite underlying approximately 75 07o of the property.
Kinojevis mafic volcanics underlie the northwest 25 07o of the property.
A swarm of 8 observed Matachewan diabase dikes with northerly
strike intrude across the west half of the property. They are typical of the
many dikes in Holmes and Alma Townships. They vary in widths from
inches to tens of feet to a few hundreds of feet in width. They strike from O0
to 300 with very steep dips. They are characteristically medium grained, dark
grey in colour. Only the very narrow dikes, 1-3 inches wide, are line grained
and black in colour. The most westerly mapped diabase dike, on line 93W, is
believed to occupy a fault which has resulted in a displacement to the south
in the syenite contact.
Massive, coarse grained, pink syenite predominates with fine grained.
red phases found in a few locales usually near the mafic volcanic contact.
Trachytic texlured, medium grained syenite was noted on the recently
bulldozed road at line 63 W, 24S. An impressive display of texture, grain
size, colour and quartz injection occurs in the syenite at Site F, Claim
1,1180148.
The mafic volcanics are fine grained, dark green, foliated rocks. The
foliation near the syenite is roughly parallel to that contact hut away from the
contact and particularly from 78W to 90W, the volcanics showing a
persistent banding striking O0 to 0200 and steep dips. There are two
prominent easterly-striking ridges in the area and outcrop is plentiful along
the south face of the northerly one. Fine, brassy pyrite and i n several cases
small localized areas of carbonate alteration follow some of the narrow
bands, lepidote, magnetite and silicification were also observed. There is
evidence of very old rock trenches and stripping.
Description of Mineralized. Altered Sites
Site A
This is reportedly the first discovery and area of activity in Alma
Township. It is now flooded and lies within a large beaver pond. The writer
visited the site by canoe. The tops of the broken rock are visible on each side
of a trench, 3-4 feet wide and 3-6 feet deep as probed by a paddle. Chunks
of white quartz, 8 inches in diameter, some with a sparse pyrite, and
remnants of pale salmon coloured altered syenite can be observed. The strike
is easterly.
Sylva Explorations, 1981 Assessment Files #2597 and #105, provides
sketches showing a quartz vein in fractured syenite, with easterly strike,
varying 1/2 inch to 6 inches in width. It has been rock-trenched for a length of
40 feel and the depth varies from 3 feet at the east end to 8 feet at the west
end. The sketch indicates the location of visible gold and two samples of
0.92 oz. gold per ton and 0.14 oz. gold per ton. A drill hole, 103 feet long,
was collared a few feet south of the trench and drilled south. It was designed
to test the low ground lo the south and a VLF conductor. Nothing of
significance was encountered. F.T. Tagliamonte, P.Eng., in a report dalecl
January 1989 for Jtlbey lists the following results from the trench:
Sylva Explorations 0.91 and 0.14 oz/gold/ton
St. Joseph Exploration 0.41 and 0.98 oz/gold/ton
Agnico 0.13 oz/gold/ton
Sylva, in describing the Chief showing, referred to a second quart/
vein, 20 feet from the main vein. The location of this vein is uncertain.
Site B
An old north-south trench exposed evidence of a mineralized shear.
Jilbey stripped a shear for 100 feet striking northeasterly. It is 4-6 inches
wide silicified with l 07o-2*^ fine pyrite, a few small blobs of coarse galena
and shows carbonate alteration and a rusty appearance (scattered pyrite) over
widths of 3 feet. There are irregular patches of cherty red syenite in the
immediate walls. Eight (8) samples of vein material were assayed by Jilbey.
The highest was 0.01 0/,/gold/ton (approximately 330 PPB). Only this value
is shown on Map l.
Site C
Located between lines 8 W and l O W, a rock trench over 150 feet in
length exposed a strongly sheared zone 1-2 inches wide consisting of wispy
seams and ribbons of yellow sericite in a chloritic matrix. Hie pink colour of
the syenite is enhanced to red in the vicinity of the shearing; fine pyrite
mineralization \ n7o i s evident over 1-2 feet. Rare blobs of chalcopyrite are
evident. One sample, the best of 3 taken by Jilbey, is shown, (t ran .018
oz/gold/ton (approximately 600 PPB) and 1460 ppm in copper. Apparently,
the same contained chalcopyrite. A barren '/i inch white bull quart/ vein
occupies the shear. One sample by the writer ran 411 PPB in gold.
Site D
Three trenches and 3 pits of early work are evident. One trench, the
one crossed by the logging road, shows blasting. An easterly striking
carbonatized pyritized zone is exposed. It is 4-6 inches wide, 60 feet long,
deeply weathered with irregular bluish quartz. Of 5 samples by Jilbey. one
ran .002 oz/gold/ton and 4 ran over 1100 ppm in lead. East 50 feet, Jilbey
excavated a north-south trench some 30 feet in length to expose rusty syenite
with no obvious shears. Seven samples were taken of which the best was
0.003 oz/gold/ton. None are shown on Map I. One drill hole, 88-6, tested
the structure on line 38W. The hole was in syenite throughout but showed
zones of fracturing and shearing. From 200-320 the log notes prominent
micro fracturing with breccia zones, bleached and pale pink with fragments
cemented by blue, grey, cherty quartz, and patches of fine disseminated
pyrite. The writer interprets this /one to be the projected extension of the
surface structure. Further down the hole and approximately 100 feet
horizontal further south is a 30-foot horizontal width of syenite described as
tuff, thin laminated, hematitic red syenite with chloritic lamination, some 4 of
which are contorted with blue grey cherty quartz stringers and an 18-inch
band of pyrite. The writer, who has not seen the core, interprets this as a
shear zone. It is obvious that more shear zones exist in addition to those
presently exposed at surface. Twenty-two (22) samples of drill core were
analyzed by Jilbey. The best assay was 0.004 oz/gold/ton.
K)
Site L!
Jilbey stripped this overburden covered area to investigate an l. P.
anomaly. No bed rock is now exposed but carbonatized, rusty rubble is
present in the excavated material. Jilbey took 6 samples of presumably bed
rock of which 2 are shown on Map I. Results were 0.026 oz/gold/ton and
0.056 oz/gold/ton.
Site F
A large area approximately 400 feet by 125 feet was stripped by Jilbey
in 1980 and 1984 near lines 38W-40-42W immediately north of the
Separation Lake road. A gold discovery was made in 1977 with the best gr;ih
samples assaying 0. l to l .6 o/ygold/ton. It was subjected to various
geophysical programs and 3 drilling programs (8 holes) in 1981, 1984 and
1988. Drill holes 88-7 and 88-8 were drilled to test an I.P. anomaly.
Results were as follows:
1981 -1 0.26 oz/ton gold over l .5 feet (core length)
0.09 oz/ton gold over 8.0 feet (core length)
1988-5 0.13 oz/ton gold over 9.0 feet (core length)
No values were given for the remaining holes.
The stripped area can best be described as a quart/ flooded area, the
result of a crack and seal event caused by repeated injections of syenite and
quart/. There are irregular patches of cherty quartz, silicious patches of
syenite, veings of indefinite strike but generally striking east-west with abrupt
terminations, flat veins and these contain scattered patches and pods of
coarse pyrite/chalcopyrile with no apparent predictable pattern of occurrence.
These mineralized patches are the source of the gold values. The syenite
within the stripped area exhibits all possible phases in a bewildering pattern,
including coarse grained, fine grained, aplitic and trachytic. Colours vary
from pink to salmon to white to grey and contacts vary from sharp to
graditional.
Site G
In 1988, Jilbey drilled two holes, 88-7 and 88-8, to test an I.R.
conductive zone under approximately 25 feet of overburden. Figure 6 is a
vertical section of the two holes. The I.R. anomaly and drill hole 88-7
identified an 100-foot wide fault zone in syenite with an assumed steep dip.
It consists of a carbonatized, siliceous, choritic breccia zone with pink syenite
angular fragments. It is variously mineralized with fine pyrite, seams of
molybdenite, and scattered pods of chalcopyrite. It is considered to be part of
the Kincaid fault. It occurs approximately 100 feet within the syenite and the
contact between syenite and mafic volcanics is assumed lo be sleep. The
volcanics are logged as fine grained, foliated, mafic tuff and volcanics with
abundant interbedded chert-magnetite iron formation.
Thirty-six (36) samples were anlyzed in hole 88-7 with the best results
being 0.003 oz/gold/ton. In hole 88-8, 7 samples were analyzed, all of which
ran 0.001 07/gold/ton.
Site 11
In an area north of the Separation Lake road, from line 46W to 52 W.
and between two prominent diabase dikes, a number of well exposed
12
outcrops of syenite exhibit numerous fine quartz fractures striking I()0-200
south of west. The outcrop is weakly carbonatized altered and mineralized
with sparse finely disseminated pyrite. The ground drops abruptly to the
northwest. In the writer's opinion, the low ground may mark the strike
extension of the fault zone encountered in hole 88-7. The alteration and
fracturing observed in outcrop may possibly represent the southern limits of
the fault zone.
Sites K, L and M
In 1996, Cunningham completed mechanical stripping, which is filed
for assessment credits, at three sites south of Site F in an effort to extend (luit
mineralization.
A long north-south trench was dug south of the Separation Lake road
and east of a prominent ridge formed by a diabase dike. The intent was to
expose syenite outcrop protected from glacial erosion on the cast Hank of the
dike. Unfortunately, the dike was much wider than anticipated. The trench
was dug for 270 feet south from the road, then was turned easterly and
reached massive, coarse grained, featureless syenite at 6-7 foot depths.
Water rapidly invaded this leg of the trench. Four test holes, 16 feet in depth
(the mamimum reach of the excavator) were dug at 200-foot intervals south
from the east leg of the pit in an attempt to locate overburden. The area has
considerable elevation but no bedrock was encountered, f lovvever, excavated
material from the most southerly hole contained abundant coarse fragments
of deeply weathered carbonatized syenite. The source is not known but may
be a source immediately below the pit.
1.1
Site K was a short trench excavated immediately south of site l. It
exposed strong oxidized carbonatized syenite with a 4-inch blue quartz vein
with easterly strike and pyritized wallrock. Two samples of this vein ran
1060 and 1131 PPB gold/ton.
From the north edge of the Separation Lake road, and 40 feet south of
site F, a trench (Site M) was dug for 230 feet in a northeasterly direction
across an elevated knoll which dropped into a swamp at the north end. Most
of the stripping exposed a coarse grey featureless syenite. At the north end,
adjacent to the swamp, a partially exposed irregular dike or tongue of rusty
pyritic syenite was encountered. The excavator recovered chunks containing
2-4 inch of blue quartz vein material and rusty syenite wallrock of
undetermined attitude. Two samples were taken which ran 125 PPB and 190
PPB in gold.
Site P
On line 96W, 28-30S, which is 400 feet west of the west boundary of
the claim block, a prominent east striking depression is occupied by a swamp
and a creek. Rastward toward the Cunningham boundary, the depression
gradually fills up with sand and gravel and within 500 feet evidence of the
depression disappears (now being completely filled with sand and gravel).
Between lines 96W and IOOW. the south edge of the depression is
abrupt with two prominent outcrop. The east outcrop located at 98W 30S
has a near vertical face 25 feet high of line grained, well foliated (1-1-W)
mafic volcanic tuff or sediment with 207o-3 07o fine pyrite. At IOOW 30S, an
easterly striking ridge. 6-12 feet high, is sheared, carbonatized, chloritized.
14
silicified quartz-carbonate-chlorite shear zone typical of alteration commonly
seen in the Kirkland-Larder area. Large slabs of this rock have broken from
the bedrock and lean northward into the depression. This is, in the writer's
opinion, the surface expression of the Kincaid fault where it exits the Cairo
syenite stock and enters the Kinojevis mafic volcanics.
From this location the fault can be traced westerly by limited outcrop
and alteration, pits and surface depression for approximately one mile, lo
McNaughton Lake across Cunningham claim L. 1206319 where is it marked
by a zone of intense siliceous carbonate alteration.
Basal Till Sampling
In 1991, Inco Exploration and Technical Surveys (INCO) discovered
high grade (loat 1/4 miles (8000 feet) south of the Cunningham claim group
It is described by INCO (K.L. Assessment Office) as follows: "Anomalous
gold mineralization was found in almost all lithologies on the Cairo properly.
One significant assay of 28.38 g/t gold was obtained from an angular syenite
boulder (l 6,OOOLV9,425N) located 200 metres south of the interpreted
location of the Galer Lake Fault. The syenite boulder is brecciated, quartz
flooded and contains up to 3 07o fine grained pyrite mineralization. A second
assay from the same boulder returned a value of 17.5 g/t gold.
The boulder is hosted in a patch of well-travelled esker sand/gravel that
is surrounded by Matheson Till composed of locally derived bedrock
material. No dispersal train type gold anomalies were detected in either the
heavy mineral or minus 250 mesh fractions of either the till or esker samples.
The boulder is clearly an erratic and its source remains unknown, although
15
the syenide composition indicates derivation from the Cairo Stock. A strong
barite response in the two till samples collected from Trench 01 indicates the
presence of a large barite vein within 50 m up-ice.
Since mapping, geophysical surveys and diamond drilling at the (laler
Lake Fault failed to locate the source of the auriferous syenite boulder, and
the stratigraphic position of the boulder and the negative heavy mineral
geochemistry ofthe surrounding overburden indicate a distal source,
additional work in the immediate area is not recommended at this time.
Possibly a program of detailed boulder prospecting further up-ice would be
the most practical exploration tool. The barite vein responsible for the
Trench 01 barite anomaly is unlikely to be of economic interest due to the
limited tonnages of vein deposits."
During October 1997. the writer and prospector Blaine Vallier. spent
three days traversing the area between the INCO claims and the Cunningham
claims, looking unsuccessfully for areas of sand and gravel which might
contain mineralized boulders. From verbal communication with C. Baker,
author of open File Reports 5941-42, we were advised to concentrate on
north-south depressions (probably faults) which tend to collect glacial debris
irrespective ofthe direction of travel ofthe ice. Included from these reports
are a one-page Abstract (Appendix A) and a figure (Appendix B) showing
distribution of gold in till, (ilacier striation indicates directions of southwest,
south, and southeast.
If INCO's assessment that the boulders are probably from the Cairo
stock, then the most likely source is the mineralization associated with east-
west structures along the north contact of the Cairo stock where the
Cunningham claims are located.
The INCO float was found in the broad northeast-southwest
depression marking the course of the Galer Lake fault (a hranch of the I. ardor
Lake Break). It is reasonable to assume that glacial debris being moved
south would collect in such a depression. Traverses by the writer north of
the INCO discovery revealed a high, relatively flat, apparently well scoured,
peneplain on top of the Cairo stock except for north-south depressions
containing considerable overburden. Furthern boulder prospecting shall
concentrate on these depressions.
A program of mechanical stripping to locate the Kincaid fault or splays
thereof, and detailed boulder prospecting is planned for 1998.

This includes Alma Township.
Abstract
Examination of gold grain data and gold geochemistry obtained from 414 surface till samples collected over the Peterlong Lake-Radisson Lake 1:50 000 NTS map sheets resulted in the identification of numerous gold anomalies, many of which may be related to bedrock mineralization. Anomalies are defined by: series of samples that lie along significant structures; clusters of samples that delineate a discrete exploration target; or isolated, single samples which, because of the sampling density, are difficult to interpret in terms of their economic significance.
The coincidence of many of the anomalies with areas of known gold mineralization supports the use of till as a sampling medium for programs of mineral exploration in the area. Till sampling surveys should be used as a targeting mechanism for further exploration. The gold grain and geochemical datasets compliment each other and should be used together. They do not, in all cases, display similar patterns, (i.e. the gold geochemistry may define anomalous areas that are not depicted by the gold grain dataset and vice versa). Likewise, the size and shape of the anomalies may vary according to which dataset is interpreted. Data on the shape of gold grains can be used to help interpret the transport history of the grains and possibly assist with evaluation of the style of mineralization.
The widespread distribution of locally-derived till over most of the survey area provides optimal terrain conditions for regional till sampling surveys. Surface sampling surveys work best in areas where bedrock outcrop is abundant and till cover is thin, yet relatively continuous. Although the ice flow history of the region is complex, it would appear that most till was deposited by the last ice flow event (i. e. ice flow towards the south to southeast). Most till anomalies should, therefore, be interpreted in terms of a southward- southeastward dispersal event. FoUow-up till sampling surveys around the presently identified anomalies should be undertaken to verify and further refine exploration targets.
The data presented in this report is part of a much larger dataset that is being released digitally in conjunction with this Open File Report. The complete dataset, which consists of sample location information, heavy mineral weight data, gold grain size and shape data and E*AA and ICP geochemical data, is contained within Miscellaneous Release Data 24 (Till Compositional Database, Peterlong Lake-Radisson Lake Area, Southern Abitibi Subprovince).
