United MacPie Mines Limited, Suite\305-100 Adelaide Street Vest,
"i* Ontario**
This report describes the results of a program
of geophysical and geological survey conducted by Geo-
Technical Development Co* Limited on part of your prop
erty located in Tribag area* The survey was carried out
In July and August* 1963, and the results are depleted
on Plan No. l, accompanying this report*
PROPERTY
The property is comprised of the following thirty-
three (33) claims i
S.3.M. 65798 to 65805, Inclusive; S.S.M, 66391 to 66315, inclusive.
The claims are contiguous and all in Township 28,
Range 13, Sault Ste, Marie Mining Division, Ontario.
Six of these claims are water claims or partly water
claims, covering the northeast part of Pancake Lake.
The total area of these thirty-three claims is in
the order of l,lj.OO acres. The geophysical survey covered
the south part, the east-central part, and the northeast
part of the claim group - an area of approximately 700 acres.
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The claim group is about 1-1/2 to 2 miles due west
of the property of Tribag Mining Co., and has its west
boundary along the west boundary of Township 29, Range 13*

Ontario, Mamalnu* Hill, located at about 2 miles to the
aouth of Pancake Lake, la 1,958 feet In height, 1,356 feet
above Lake Superior and 863 feet above Pancake Lake,
The property covera the lower ground, known aa
Pancake Flat, between Pancake Lake and Middle Pancake Lake,
The survey covered the heart of this swampy Flat with
"lalands" and bordera of hardwood hilla which rise up to
about 100 and more feet above the Flat. There are numeroua
creeks and streams*
GENERAL GEOLOGY
Regional geology of the Batehawana area is on Map
35b, accompanying the 35th. Annual Report, Vol. 35. Pt.2,
1926, Ontario Department of Mines. This map indicates
that the property is underlain by granite, near the boundary
of a batholith to a belt of greonstonea with diabase, gabbro
and diorite and a few flows of basalt*
Aeromagnetic maps by iron companies indicate that
there la a northwesterly fault eone running across the north

part of the property Is at the Junction of several poss
ible cross-faults. The northwesterly fault mentioned
above appears to be the continuation of a northwesterly
fault which runs across the property of Ajax Minerals
and off-sotted by the northeasterly major fault*
ECONOMIC QEOLOQY
The area was explored for iron in the latter part
of the nineteenth century, and copper occurrences have been
known for many years. The current Interests are principally
because of the recent disclosure of large tonnage possibilities
of good grade copper on the Tribag property.
According to S.V. Burr, former geologist for Tribag
Mining Co. (personal communication), copper mineralization
has been found on the Trlbag ground along a length of over
two miles within the granite and within the greenstone complex
up to 1/2 mile south of the granite. According to the Northern
Miner, May 23, 1963, recent reassessment of thn geological
conditions on the Tribag ground together with a study of the
results of aeromagnetic surveys, have led to a conclusion that
the favourable brecciated areas ara not breccia pipes but may
be breov ; ^44 zones associated with major zones of faulting.
While structural interpretation is continuing. Dr. 3. Malouf,
(Northern Miner, July lith, 1963) pointed out that the weal
defined fractures striking northwest-southeast and another
set trending northeast are important features.

^thirty three-(33) claim group hers concerned Is located
within 2 miles to the same contact indicated on Map 3fjb
and there are old copper showings located within one mile
to the south along the south shore of Pancake Lake*
QEOLOOY OBSERVED ON THE PROPERTY
Outcrops observed on the property are limited to
the small areas of hills* These are as a rule, leucocratic
granite and diabase*
The leucocratic granite is marked by irregular
quartz crystals on the weathered surface. Occasionally
there are reddish granite with K-feldopar and sometimes
dioritic granite near their contact to diabase. The dia
base is commonly aphanitic at the contact.
The diabase formers a rule, Keweenawan non-porphyritio
dikes#o There is one small boss or dike of porphyritic
diabase located at L.O-00, 3,200 to 3,^00 north. A calcite
vein of one inch thick is located at a northeasterly fracture
outside the surveyed area, along the claim line between
Claims 6630)1 and 66303. One loose boulder of impure cal
cite found near here, is over one foot thick. The granite
here is out by many epidote veins.
There are many veins of bull quartz found cutting
the granite on the property* A six foot wide quarts vein

been sent;out for gold assay*
During the geological reconnaissance, the only sul
phide observed was in a diorltic granite at L.O-00, 3*100
north, 30 feet west. This is apparently Pe-sulphide form
ing spooks in the slightly altered dioritio granite*
The outcrop geology indicated that an altered cone
is located along the north part of Claims 66309 and 663014.,
and extends into the middle section of Claim 66303 where
the granite is cut by many epidote veins.
GEOPHYSICAL saRVEY RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION
The magnetometer survey outlined several narrow
magnetic zones* These are in the order from 1,000 to
1|,000 gammas above background over observed granite, in
the order of 900 to l,lj.OO gammas. Many of these magnetic
zones have the characteristics of diabase dikes and out
crops of diabase. Those Eones are therefore definitely
due to diabase dikes and are marked (D) on the accompany
ing plan* When no outcrop was observed along a magnetic
zone which has a dike shaped form, the zone is inferred as
diabase dike and marked (D?), When a magnetic zone is
irregular in shape and no outcrop was observed, it is
marked as a magnetic anomaly such an (M-l), and described
as follows?
Magnetic anomaly M-l is located at the south part

M-2 It located at the central part Of the surveyed
area just south of Pancake River* This anomaly la poss
ibly the eastern continuation of the diabase dike found
to the west of Pancake River but separated by a cross-
fault* However, the fact that thla anomaly Is located just
within lower ground and the fact that the eastern section
does not show a dike shaped structure* Indicates the poss
ibility of having a different Intrusive or structure In
this anomalous area.
It should be noted uere that the magnetic readings
over porphyritic diabase are In the same order as higher
ranged granite (about 1,350 gammas)*
Fault structures observed and inferred from magnetic
data and topography are depleted on the plan accompanying
this report* Apart from the many diabase dikes, there are
two outstanding faults located at the northeast part of
the property. One is a northeasterly fault or shear which
cuts across four claims, and one is a north-south fault
which appears to be a normal fault.

The electromagnetic survey has encountered two* " . ' ' ' , t A '
marginal "ci-oss-overs", -at ; north and south of M-l, along
L*O-00. These "cross-overa" could bo accounted for byX i t
the rugged topography plus the limitation of the instrument
operation. However, these inconclusive indications and
M-l, point to the importance of the lake claims of the
•"
property*
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The survey and check reconnaissance outlined many
diabasic dikes cutting granite on the property. These
dikes accounted for most of the magnetic zones but two
of which marked "M-l" and "K-2" on tho plan accompanying
this report. These two magnetic zones are inferred as
diabase or other basic intrusivea different from a simple
dike structure*
Two interesting faults are inferred to be located
at the northeast part of the property* A strong electro
magnetic oonduotor encountered near the junction of these
. two faults, merits test diamond drilling* However* prior

Qeooheaioal Soil Sampling Data
A geochemical soil sampling traverse
was made across the south part of the property
where the overburden appears to be shallow.
Hot method was used for the testing of the
samples and the results are plotted on the plan
accompanying this report in parts of copper per
million. Although the traverse encountered no
appreciable anomalous conditions, the area of
Magnetic anomaly M-l is apparently associated
with higher indications, tip to 125 parta per
million* It is recommended to covor this part
of the' property by geochemical soil sampling
at due time*
