Regional Geology

Both the Ursa Major and cast l impress properties are located within the Schreiber-Hemlo greenstone belt of the Abitibi-Wawa subprovincc of the Superior Province ol'lhe Canadian Shield. 'I'he Abitibi-Wawa subprovmce is an east trending ^cquencc of supracrustal rocks intruded by metagabbrotc dykes and sills along with late granite-syenite plutonic rocks. The supracrustal rock comprise n package of mafic to tVlsic metavolcanics and associated clastic mctascdiments. (Chemical sediments are rare.

The Schreiber portion of the belt is approximately 70 km long and 25 km wide. 'l he two properties arc located within the northern limb ol'a large, regional east trending, anticlinal Ibid referred to as the Big Duck Lake volcanic belt (Walker, 1967). The fold is cored by the Crossman Lake Batholith.

The volcanic rocks within the Sohreibcr-Hcmlo belt consists of calc-alkalic pyroclastics, breccias, luffs, flows, porphyritic flows, schists and gneisses, mafic, iron rich tholeiite*, pillowed and massive flows, tuffs, schists and gneisses. The metascdimcntary rocks comprise generally immature clastic rocks which include graded turbidite*, mudstone*, schists, paragneiss and minor conglomerates arid iron formation. Numerous Iclisic plutonic rocks intrude the supracrustal rocks including the Terrace Bay Batholilh

Metamorphic grade through the Schrcibcr-Hcmlo belt generally increases From west to east In the western portions of the belt have been metamorphosed under the lower greenschist facies McUimorphic grade increases to amphibolite grade in and around the Ursa Majoi area. Upper amphibolite facies rock occur to the cast.

Structurally, the Schreiber-! Jemlo belt has undergone at least 4 periods of deformation. Ductile folding is prevalent especially in association with late, granitic iniruswcs. Faulting is a prominent feature of the landscape.

I'rotero/xiic rocks are represented by diabase dykes and sills. Bast of the Ursa Major property is the Coldwell Complex, a large intrusion comprised of alkalic and carbonatite rocks. Table 1 is an ideal i/cd stratigraphic column of the Schrciber-1 levnlo Bch after Walker (1967)

Property- Geology

Ursa Major Property

The Ursa Major property is underlain by a package of east-trending mafic flows, pillowed flows and tuffs (Drawing l). Such rocks contain the assemblage plagioclase- chlonte-biotite-hornblende. Locally chlorite is absent from the assemblage, and to this extent, such basic rocks are true amphibolites. Garnet may or may not be part of the amphlbolitic assemblage. Where garnet forms part of the mineral assemblage, it is often rimmed by plagioclase, suggesting the whole package of rocks experience some degree of retrograde metamorphism . Intercalated with the mafic rocks are minor mafic to intermediate flows and tuffs. Agglomeratic pyroclastics occur in the southwest region of the property. Associated metasediments are rare and generally comprise fine grained phyllites Pyrite is a common sulphide throughout the property; most rocks contain at least Wo fine grained, disseminated pyrite.

The package of mafic and sedimentary rock is cut by four metre-scale quartz \ lens which have formed the focus of past exploration. Late in the last century a total of three shafts were sunk to explore the most promising quartz veins. The quartz veins are upto 3 metres wide, generally white, opaque and translucent. Mineralization is sporadically distributed with pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and minor galena Assav results returned gold values that range between 0.417 and 0.02 oz/t. The quart/ veins are oriented between 100 and 120 and strike subparallel to the regional foliation.

South of vein ii 2 outcrops a feldspar porphyry. This rock is a mesocratic, medium to coarse grained granitoid, containing feldspar phenocrysts upto 1/2 mm in diameter. Phenocrysts occupy 20-30?-'o of the rock volume. The porphyry exhibits a strong foliation defined by fine grained biotite and to a lesser extent, serecite. The porphyry strikes approximately 110 and can be traced for 300 m. The porphyry is open to the west.

Outside the quart/ veins discussed above, the feldspar porphyry exhibits the strongest zones of mineralization. The rock is weakly mineralized with 2-3 0-'o disseminated pyrite throughout. Contact relationships can be clearly established at T-08, where the porphyry cross cuts the regional foliation/stratigraphy at low angles. This zone is mineralized with 15-20 0-'o pyrite over a thickness of l m which extends for approximately 30 m along strike. Apart from the quartz veins, these rocks represent the best potential for economic mineralization. To date, assay results returned very slightly anomalous values - 25 ppb.

East Empress Property

Like the Ursa Major property. The East Empress property is underlain by a package of east trending, mafic to intermediate composition flows and tuffs. These rocks exhibit a weak to moderate foliation which is defined by biotite and/or chlorite. The dominate mineral assemblage consists of plagioclase-quartz-biotite-chlorite. Epidote and hornblende are rare additions to this mineral assemblage. Iron carbonate (ankerite) and chlorite constitute alteration assemblages which are often accompanied by pyrite never exceding 2" o of the rock volume. The rocks dip steeply to the north (Drawing 2).

The northern portion of the claim is occupied by an intrusive of quartz-dionte composition. This melanocratic granitoid is coarse grained, massive to poorly foliated, comprising plagioclase-k feldspar-hornblende-chlorite. Blue quartz eyes upto 3 mm in diameter occupy 2-3 07o of the rock volume. The intrusive is weakly mineralized with trace pvrile.

Through the central portion of the claim outcrops a 20-30 m thick, east trending felsic luff cut by quartz veins. The felsite is fine grained and strongly sheared. Serecite is the dominant phyllosilicate occupying 20-300/^ of the rock volume and defines the prominent foliation. The rock is essentially a serecite schist.

There are 4 quartz vein systems which cut the schist at high angles. The quartz veins are white to gray in colour, upto 3 m thick and host a number of sulphides including chalcopyrite, sphalerite and pyrite. The serecite schist associated with the mineralized quartz veins is itself mineralized and contains chlorite, carbonate and quartz alone with serecite.

The quartz veins have previously been trenched. The trenches are 10 to 20 m in length and upto 3 m deep. A distance of approximately 45 metres separates trench no. ! in the west from trench no. 4 in the east. Sampling of both the quartz veins and the host scree i te schists (both grab and chip samples over l to 2 m returned gold values as high as 0.478 oz,t. The average gold value to the 17 samples taken is 0.137 oz/t.

A search of the assessment files at the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines m Thunder Bay failed to reveal any history' of the trenching. The geological map prepared by Micham Exploration Inc. (1984) plots 2 of the 4 trenches.

Previous Work

l 1 rsa Major Property

Exploration work on the Ursa Major property dates back to the end of the last century and has been completed sporadically ever since then. Gold exploration in the area was spurred by the discovery of gold in Syine Township to the southeast which eventually became the Empress Mine in 1897.

The previous exploration work completed on the Ursa Major property includes:

1896 - Two mming locations AL219 and AL220 (640 acres) were acquired by Jackfish Bay Syndicate Mining Company Ltd.

l 898 - A trench 72.9 m in length was dug through drift down to bedrock across the Ursa Major mine ore body. A vertical shaft 1.22 m x 2.75 m was sunk to a depth of 16.16 m. A new collar was constructed to a depth of 9.23 m. During this time a mining camp was established, consisting of sleeping and cooking camps, shaft house, black smith shop, stable and assay office.

1900 - The shaft was deepen to 35.7 m and timbered to a depth of 24.4 m.

1901 - The shaft was sunk further to a depth of 37.6 m. A cross cut was driven north for 27 m at the 36 m level. The cross cut was driven to cut a series of viens which outcrop north of the shaft. At surface, 122 m northeast of the shaft a vein was stripped over 34.16 m. Mineralization included copper, galena and pyrite said to be "in considerable quantities". Gold and silver assays were reported to be good.

1934 - Jackfish Bay Syndicate Mining Company Ltd. became defunct and the property was acquired by Valora Gold exploration Company Ltd.

1936 - Valora Gold Exploration surrenders the property.

195 l - William Siville restaked the property and completed 56 days work. The claims were cancelled in 1954 and the area became known as the Seville property.

1956 - The property was restaked and transferred to Monpre Uranium Exploration Ltd.

1957 - Monpre Uranium Exploration Ltd. changes its name to Monpre Mining Company Ltd.

1958 - The claims of Monpre Mining Company Ltd. were cancelled.

I960 - The area was restaked and the claims were subsequently cancelled in 1961

1971 - Frank E . Merryth stakes 4 claims.

197? - An electromagnetic and magnetometer survey was performed over the 4 claim block. Ten anomalies were identified with no further work being performed. A further 10 claims were staked adjacent to those staked by Merryth which were transferred to Hudson Bay Exploration and Development Company Ltd. . The claims were cancelled in 1974.

1974 - The old Merryth claims were restaked and subsequently cancelled in 1976.

1980 - One claim was staked on the property and subsequently cancelled in 1981.

1982 - Micham Exploration Inc. conducted Mag, VLF-EM, IP, rock sampling and geological mapping.

1984 - Micham Exploration Inc. conducted IP and Max-Mm Em surveys along withgeological mapping and sampling. Four diamond drill holes were drilled to test IP and/or Max-Min conductors. The best gold assays returned 1686 ppb over 2 feet, hosted by a chlorite serecite schist.

Fast Empress Property

In 1895 mineralization was discovered in the East Empress area. This discovery eventuallv became the Empress Mine in 1895. The Empress Mine was in production from i 895 to l 897. The mine was briefly closed and reopened again in 1898. The mine then staved in production until 1938 when all metal from the mine site was sold for scrap

The property saw no work until 1983, when Micham Exploration Inc. optioned the property. Micham Exploration Inc. cut a grid over a large area around the mine, including the East Empress property and conducted Mag, VLF-EM. IP, geological mapping and sampling. One drill collar has been observed on the East Empress property and. to date, is the only indication of drilling on the property.

Sampling Program

l ; rsa Major Property

The 1996 exploration program on the Ursa Major property consisted of establishing a flagged grid consisting of 6 lines of 800 m in length over the former mine site and the 4 metre scale quartz veins. The grid was mapped and a number of representative samples were taken. A bulk of the sampling concentrated on the mineralized zones hosted by the 4 major quartz viens which outcrop within the claim block in total, 27 samples were taken in and around the quartz vein system and were assayed for gold. Results ranged between 0.417 and 0.02 oz/t. A number of samples were analysed for base metals. The best results returned 6817 ppm Cu and 41 81 ppm Mo.


Exploration on the East Empress property concentrated on sampling the four existing trenches. A total of 17 samples were taken through the trenches returning impressive assays of between 0.478 and .002 oz/t (Drawing 3).

Conclusions and Recommendations

Ursa Major Property

The geology of the Ursa Major property is relatively simple. Mafic and mafic to intermediate metavolcanics intercalated with rare phyllitic metasediments are cut by 4 metre scale quartz veins which host sulphide mineralization including chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and gold. Presently however, it is the opinion of the author that the quartz veins do not exhibit a mineralized system large enough nor with enough consistency to attract any large investment from the mining community.

Perhaps of more potential is the feldspar porphyry which, to date, has been traced for approximately 300 m along strike. The intrusive is weakly mineralized throughout and exhibits zones, especially along its contact, where pyrite mineralization exceeds 15 0 o Although gold assays are low, they are slightly anomalous which suggests the porphyry system contains gold. Presently the feldspar porphyry is 100 m thick at most. The intrusive system is open to the west and should be pursued to determine if the structure opens up to a more healthy thickness of a few hundred metres. The porphyry should be sampled and analysed for whole rock geochemistry to determine the style of alteration and should be explored for more mineralized zones which could host more favourable gold values.


The East Empress property contains a 20 -30 m thick, strongly altered felsic, schistose horizon which is cut by four metre scale quartz veins. The quartz veins and the host serecite schist are moderate to strongly mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The system of quartz veins were trenched during an earlier exploration program which is apparently unrecorded at the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines' assessment files in Thunder Bay.

The good gold values returned from the quartz veins (as high as 0.478 oz/t) and the strongly serecitized felsic schist, are attractive elements of the East Empress property. To date, the gold bearing zone occurs over a strike length of 45 m. The serecite schist should be explored for to the west and east to determine its continuity and locate any new mineralized zones. Whole rock geochemical analysis of the serecite schist should be conducted to better understand the nature of the extensive alteration exposed along the trenched zone.
