The Little Burnt Bay Property, licence 14406m consists of ninety six contiguous map staked claims situated within the north east portion of NTS Map sheet 2E/6 along the Little Burnt Bay Peninsula. The property covers two communities, Little Burnt Bay and Embree. The property was staked after discovering radioactive boulders and outcrops within areas of the property. Radioactive rocks and boulders were discovered outside the property area previously to discovering the areas within the property. This led to the discoveries in the Little Burnt Bay area.GR-110 scintillometers were used for prospecting. Quinlan Prospecting Incorporated was contracted to supply personnel and scintillometers to prospect the property for gold, nickel and uranium. There is only one documented mineral occurrence located near the property; this mineral occurrence is called The Powderhouse Cove gold Showing. The Powderhouse Cove showing comprises a 2 m thick, east-west trending, siliceous, aphanitic felsic dike which has intruded black graphitic shale's of the Dunnage Melange. The dyke is offset by a series of small faults developed parallel to the regional penetrative fabric in the shale's. These faults produced narrow (<3 cm), brittle, quartzfilled, fractures within the dike. Locally these quartz veins contain massive patches of pyrite and arseneopyrite. Selected grab samples collected by Sheppard (1990) assayed 4980 ppb Au, 21500 ppb Au, 8900 ppb Au and 1120 ppb Au. Grab samples collected by Evans (1992) from the dyke assayed 92 ppb Au, 48 ppb Au, 222 ppb Au and from the quartz veins assayed 145 ppb Au, 78500 ppb Au. The Dunnage Melange extends southwest from Dildo Run some 40 km across the Bay of Exploits to Stanhope. Its outcrop width is 13 km from Boyd's Cove to New World Island. The true thickness of the melange is impossible to determine because of its internal chaos, though Horne (1968) has suggested that it is on the magnitude of a few thousand metres. However, bordering rocks are all steeply dipping and the thickness could be much more. The Little Burnt Bay property was staked to cover the prospective rocks (sediments and mafics) for uranium mineralization. Shale, as the most abundant type of sedimentary rock, contains an average of 0.0003 or 0.0004 percent uranium. Black shale's probably have an average of 0.0008 percent uranium; and marine black shale's, excluding the thick marine black shale's deposited in geosynclinal areas, have an average uranium content of about 0.0020 percent and a general range of 0.0008 to 0.0250 percent. Greater concentrations of uranium in marine black shale have been known for many years, however, from descriptions and analyses of kolm lenses (0.1 to 0.7 percent uranium) in the alum shale's of southern Sweden. (Vernon E. Swanson and Edward R. Landis USGS (1962)) 1 The Scandinavian Alum Shale Formation (Middle Cambrian to Lower Ordovician) contains high levels of organic carbon (up to 25 wt. %) and syngenetic enriched trace elements. A regional survey of the uranium and organic carbon content reveals that uranium is preferentially enriched in sections located palaeo-shorewards compared with sections located farther offshore. This type of enrichment mode is evident in the Upper Cambrian (above the A. pisiformis Zone) and Tremadoc interval. In the Middle Cambrian no significant regional variation in uranium level is present. In the most enriched Upper Cambrian biozone (Peltura scarabaeoides Zone) the average concentrations of uranium (100 to 300 ppm) are inversely correlated to zone thickness. The variable bed thicknesses are believed to represent primary differences in the rate of deposition and the relationship thus indicates a strong time-dependency in the enrichment processes governing uranium incorporation in sediments. The high uranium levels generally found shorewards are interpreted to reflect a more vigorous bottom water circulation that promoted higher rates of mass-transfer across the sediment/ water interface relatively to the mud deposited farther offshore. Very high levels of uranium (1000 to 8000 ppm) concentrated in discrete beds (known as kolm) are interpreted to reflect resuspension of sediment in an anoxic water column that enhanced diffusive exchange between suspended particles and sea-water. A Late Silurian to Early Devonian thermal overprint towards the Caledonian Front affected the total organic carbon (TOC) content but appears to have no effect on the uranium distribution in the thermally mature sections. (Copenhagen K, Denmark) The property was prospected intermittently for uranium, gold and nickel mineralization. Gold was the least abundant mineralization found within the property. A total of seventy nine samples were collected while prospecting. Forty one of these samples were analyzed for gold and a 30 multi element package, thirteen of these were also analyzed for uranium. The highest uranium value received was 423.6ppm the highest gold value attained was 1949 ppb, all other samples were anomalous or below the detection limit for gold. Sample 16263 was from a pod of massive arseneopyrite in a 10cm quartz vein in altered argillite. The sample was not reproducible. Thirteen of the samples were analyzed for a 30 multi element package. These samples were taken to determine the nickel/copper/cobalt content. The values obtained from theses samples was 0.40% nickel, 0.058% cobalt and 1.06% copper. The pulp from this sample was also analyzed for platinum and palladium; values were below the detection limit. The nickel mineralization was discovered in what was presumed to be an altered mafic plug or discontinuous sill within the Dunnage Melange. The area was revisited after the results were received from Eastern Analytical Limited. The presumed plug or sill is only small and most likely does not have the potential to host an economic deposit but, prospecting for other plugs or sills of similarity will have to done. Twenty five samples were analyzed for uranium, rare earth elements and multi elements. All samples analyzed for uranium were anomalous from 8.4ppm up to 423.6ppm. These samples were taken from highly radioactive areas discovered in outcrop and subcrop. 2 The Pit Showing was discovered first. Six areas within 100m of each other were discovered by Andy Budden. All areas are > 10,000cps in outcrop. Gr-110 scintillometers were used for prospecting. The alteration consists of an orange/red carbonate veins and veinlets from 1cm to 10cm wide within argillites and black shale's. All areas were sampled, the samples were taken to Baie Verte, where Bayswater Uranium was working on the Whisker Valley Uranium Project, and the samples were checked with Bayswater's spectrometer. The readings from the spectrometer were determined to be inconclusive due to malfunctions with the spectrometer. After the failure of Bayswater's spectrometer, a spectrometer was rented from Ucore Uranium for a weekend to determine what type of mineralization we were looking at before the samples were sent for analysis. Spectrometer readings ranged from 12,800 cps to 42,000 cps mainly in the range of 2032,000 cps. Potassium readings ranged from no detection to 39.0% (very odd readings, these readings were determined to be unreliable). Thorium readings ranged from 0.30% to 1.43%. Uranium readings ranged from 187.5ppm to 1589 ppm. Samples were taken while these readings were taken. These samples were sent for analysis and after several months waiting, the analysis was received. Fourteen samples were taken and sent for analysis, Uranium values ranged from 17.4ppm to 364.7ppm, Potassium values ranged from 1.99% to 3.80%, all samples were > 200ppm thorium. Potassium values were highly elevated the same has the spectrometer, Thorium values were also all elevated, the uranium values which were the most important were not even close to the readings from the spectrometer. The property was prospected while samples were being analyzed. The second radioactive area was discovered (The Dump Showing). This area consisted of a narrow felsic dyke cutting the shale's, the Felsic Dyke ranges from 10cm to close to 1m wide in places. The alteration and Felsic Dyke can be seen on Google Earth, the dyke can be seen in the gravel road. It has been traced for approximately 75m then it disappears to the south and runs into the dump and a swamp area to the north. The alteration consisted of the same red/orange carbonated veins and veinlets discovered in the Pit Showings. The alteration was located on the edge of the Felsic dyke and disseminated for approximately 10 cm to each side of the felsic dyke. The spectrometer was not available at this time. The scintillometer readings ranged from 400cps from the Felsic Dyke to > 10,000cps from the shale outcrop. Seven samples were taken from this zone, six from the shale's and one from the Felsic dyke. The Felsic Dyke sampled has not been analyzed yet. The six sample values ranged from 47.1 ppm to 89.9 ppm uranium. Sample 15883 (Felsic Dyke) has not been analyzed yet. The next area of radioactivity was found on the shoreline (The Lost Dog Showing). My dog went missing just before we found the showing early in the morning and we did not see him any more until just before dark while we traversing back to the trucks. This Showing consists of a rusty iron stained mafic outcrop at the salt waters edge on the southern portion of the property. The unit is approximately 3-4m wide, exposed strike 10m, the unit disappears into the water and the sandy shoreline. Scintillometer 3 Readings of up to 3000cps in outcrop and 600 cps bag count from this area at first were not thought to be significant, due to the other areas that were discovered being mainly > 10,000 cps. Five samples were taken from this and the surrounding area. Sample (16043) was not sent for analysis until several other areas were found and sampled. Sample 16043 was the highest uranium value to date within the property 423.6ppm and the lowest thorium 80.5ppm and potassium value1.63%. The other four sample values were from 13.2 ppm to 90.3 ppm. The Lost Dog showing was revisited early this winter. The majority of the outcrop was covered with bay ice and slob. The main area of radioactivity was exposed along with a couple other areas. Three samples were collected and have not been sent for analysis. Scintillometer reading from 1400cps up to 3000cps were recorded from the sampled areas. One sample contained what was presumed to be uranophane staining. This area has to be channel sampled this spring after the bay ice melts. The next area of radioactivity (The Powerline Showing) was found at the edge of a bog on the powerline near an old pit. Scintillometer readings from this area were from 4000 cps on the ground to > 10,000 cps when exposed. The alteration consisted of the same red/orange carbonate veins and veinlets. Only one highly radioactive area was found in this area. The value of sample 15886 was 73.7ppm uranium; no multi element analysis was done on this sample. There has only been one sample taken from this area to date. The next area of radioactivity is approximately 100m south of the Powerline Showing and is possibly a continuation of the same radioactive zone. A small area of highly anomalous scintillometer (500-2000cps) readings were found on the edge of a pit in outcrop, this lead to the discovery of the radioactive areas found in the wooded area next to the pit (The Mystery Showing). The name of the showing came from being near a highly radioactive zone, having the scintillometer waist high, the closer you put the scintillometer to the ground the higher it would read, then you would raise the scintillometer over your head and the readings would also elevate significantly from what the scintillometer was reading at waist height. There are approximately six areas here that are > 10,000cps within a 20+ m radius. Four of these areas have been exposed by test pits dug by pick and shovel, no competent rock was found in any of the holes. The alteration of the red/orange carbonate veins and veinlets can be easily viewed in these test pits. The carbonate seems to be more extensive being disseminated throughout the fractured shale's. A total of eight samples were taken from the radioactive areas, some samples were taken before the test pits were dug. The test pits range from 1m to 1.6m deep, no competent rock was found in the pits. Seven of the samples were sent for analysis. Uranium values ranged from 8.4 ppm to 97.4ppm. Sample 15889 will have to be sent for analysis The last area of radioactivity that was sampled after it was discovered was The Ditch Showing. The Ditch Showing consist of 5-6 areas of highly radioactive subcrop and outcrop that was found along the edge of the highway and extended into the woods away from the highway. A total of eight samples were taken from these areas. Some of 4 The samples were composed of more competent rock with less of the red/orange carbonate. The fresher rocks were vuggy quartz breccias with minor to 1% pyrite. Some of the vugs contained green and black granular crystals. Uranium values ranged from 17ppm to 366.9ppm. A couple other areas with anomalous radioactivity were found along the northern shoreline, one of these, the last one discovered was sampled. The uranium values ranged from 35.3ppm to 56.3ppm. Scintillometer readings from the area sampled ranged from 700cps to 960cps. The radioactive areas that were not sampled had scintillometer readings in the 600cps to 1500cps. These areas will have to be sampled in the future. One sample from The Dump Showing, two samples from The Pit Showing, six samples from The Ditch Showing and one sample from The Lost Dog Showing were analyzed for a fifty four element plus uranium Whole Rock Fusion package to determine the if there were any rare earth elements in the rocks. All the samples were highly anomalous in lead, zinc, and arsenic. The highest values were 666.82 ppm, 463.7 ppm and 1901.6 ppm consecutively. Thorium values ranged from 80.5 ppm to 844.6 ppm. Uranium values ranged from 17.0 ppm to 423.6 ppm. The rare earth elements that were presumed to be elevated were Yttrium 805.7ppm, Cerium 412.1 ppm, Praseodymium 62.2 ppm, Neodymium 351.7 ppm, Samarium 189.1 ppm, Europium 88.9 ppm, Gadolinium 312.8 ppm, Terbium 53.3 ppm, Dysprosium 264.6 ppm, Holmium 35.1 ppm, Erbium 65.6 ppm, Ytterbium 42.3 ppm, Rubidium 129.5 ppm, Niobium 114.8 ppm, Gallium 28.91 ppm. Some research has been done on rare earth elements but due to lack of knowledge of the elements and shortage an educational material found, not all the element are highly anomalous. Five samples from The Pit Showing were sent for a forty six element TD-MS plus uranium Delayed Neutron Count. Uranium values ranged from 39.9 ppm to 305 ppm, Thorium values were all> 200 ppm, Potassium values ranged from 1.99% to 3.80%. Arsenic, Zinc and lead values were highly elevated also 887 ppm, 295 ppm and 380 ppm consecutively. Yttrium was elevated in two samples 342 ppm and 212 ppm; Neodymium was elevated in the same two samples 308 ppm and 165 ppm. 5 II Location and Access: Licence 14406m (Fig.1) consisting of ninety seven contiguous map staked claims is situated within NTS map sheet 2E/6 within north central Newfoundland. The property is located approximately 3 kilometres north of the town of Lewisporte. The property encompasses the Little Burnt Bay and Embree Peninsula which runs from Lewisporte. Access is gained to the property via Route 341 from Lewisporte. Access to the shoreline can be gained by boat also from the town of Little Burnt Bay. The boat can be used to access the shoreline on the western section of the property. Access to the majority of the property is easily gained from the side streets and the main highway (Route 341) in the communities of Little Burnt Bay and Embree. 6 III Previous Work: The earliest recorded geological work in the region is from the late 1800's when A. Murray and J. Howley visited and explored the region (Murray and Howley, 1881). Since then the area has been included in a number of geological mapping surveys carried out by various government agencies and documented in a couple of thesis projects completed at Memorial University. Included in those surveys, is the mapping by H. Williams in 1964 and Blackwood in 1978. Williams mapped the area for the Geological Survey of Canada (Williams, 1964). Blackwood mapped the 2E map sheets at a scale of 1:50,000 for the Newfoundland Department of Mines and energy (Blackwood, 1982). This survey was part of the Canada-Newfoundland Regional Mineral Potential Evaluation. The earliest geological study in northeast Newfoundland was general reconnaissance work by Heyl (1936) and Patrick (1956). These workers failed to recognize the complex nature of the melange terrane, and it went unnoticed until the work of Kay in the 1960? s. Since then numerous stratigraphic and structural studies have been conducted by various workers. Horne (1968, 1969) and Horne and Helwig (1969) were the first to provide detailed descriptions of the melange and document its chaotic nature. Horne viewed the Dunnage Formation as being conformable with surrounding units, and interpreted its chaotic structure to be the result of slumping. A meticulous 12-year study of the Bay of Exploits region was undertaken by Kay in the early 1960? s. In a series of publications (Kay, 1970, 1972, 1975, 1976) he portrayed the Dunnage Melange as a fault-bounded tectonic unit deformed in the trench of a subduction zone. He also named and described the igneous intrusions of the northeast Dunnage Melange, and published Rb/Sr, and K/Ar age for these units. H. Williams began his work in the area at about the same time as Kay, and was concerned with the regional correlation of rock units of the Twillingate map area (Williams, 1963). Williams and Hibbard (1976), Hibbard (1976), and Hibbard and Williams (1979) conducted a detailed study of the entire Dunnage Melange. They noted that the melange is essentially conformable with surrounding units and suggested a back arc basinal olistostromal origin for the melange. More recent work by Williams (1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994) has focused on reinvestigation and comparison of melange occurrences as part of a regional study of melanges in the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. H. Williams and J.P. Hibbard completed a study on the relationships between the Dunnage Melange and nearby rock groups in 1976. They determined that the exact significance of the Dunnage Melange is unknown but intrusions (i.e. Coaker Porphyry) 7 that are localized to the Dunnage Melange and nearby Exploits Group suggest that a direct link between the two and also that the intrusions are sitting above a deep crustal feature (Williams and Hibbard, 1976). A Ph.d thesis study was completed within and around the region in 1984 by B.E. Lorenz. Lorenz carried out a petrgraphical study of several suites of igneous rocks to determine their source, evolution, mode of emplacement and interrelationships. Lorenz attempted to determine the physical and temporal relationships between the intrusions and the formation of the Dunnage Melange (Lorenz, 1984). A geochemical investigation of mafic volcanic rocks incorporated into the Dunnage Melange was completed by J. Wasowki and R. Jacobi. The results of the investigation suggest that the mafic volcanic blocks in the Dunnage Melange are tholeiitic and alkalic basalts. It is also suggested that the mafic volcanics erupted as interplate basalts and are probably remnants of ocean islands or seamounts. It is also suggested that the Dunnage melange formed in an arc-trench gap (Wawoski and Jacobi, 1985). In 1991 an ice flow indicator map was published for the 2E/7 map sheet. The area was mapped by L.St. Croix and D. Taylor. In 1988, a regional lake bottom sampling program was completed by the Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy (Davenport and Nolan, 1988). Anomalous gold values were set at 4ppb. An extensive area of gold enrichment was revealed extending from Gander Lake, northeast to the Dog Bay/Gander Bay areas. Between 1989 and 1993 B. O'Brien carried out geological mapping in the central Notre Dame Bay area with more reconnaissance style study in the adjacent areas. The 2003 report by O'Brien provides a comprehensive overview of the Notre Dame Bay with greater detail provided in the central portion of the Notre Dame Bay area (O'Brien, 2003). Quincy Sheppard a local prospector discovered and grab sampled the showing in 1989 (Sheppard, 1990). The showing was mapped and sampled as part of a regional epigenetic gold study by the Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy, Geological Survey Branch (Evans, 1992). The 2E map sheet was mapped by Williams (1962) for the Geological Survey of Canada at a scale of 1:250,000 as part of a regional synthesis of the Notre Dame Bay area. This map identified the main lithologies present within the area and also introduced the term Botwood Group. In 1977 the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Mineral Development Division released a report on the geology and metallogeny of the Notre Dame Bay area (Dean, 1977). 8 In 1986, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Mineral Development Division released the results of a regional lake sediment survey for the 2E map sheet (Davenport and Nolan, 1986). Due to the lack of ponds within the project area none of the lake sediment samples were collected directly within the property boundaries. In 1987 and 1989 the Geological Survey of Canada released a series of ten geophysical maps for airborne magnetics and VLF as well as airborne gamma ray spectrometry (open file NFLD/1734). During the early 1990’s geological mapping of parts of several 1:50,000 scale map sheets (including parts of map sheet 2E/06) was carried out by O’Brien (1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993). O’Brien’s work filled in gaps between other detailed maps in the area and it was the first time the area had been mapped in detail at the 1:50,000 scale. The most recent work carried out in this area by O’Brien (2003) set out to resolve some of the outstanding problems concerning the origin and evolution of the region’s Ordovician and Silurian rocks. During 2004 Cornerstone Resources completed prospecting and rock sampling within the Porterville property. Prospecting was primarily focused along the coastline and in road cuts where there is good exposure and easy access. A total of 61 rock samples were collected within the claim group and from crown land near the property boundaries. Of the 61 rock samples collected, 31 of the samples returned elevated Au values (> 5 ppb Au) and 11 rock samples returned gold values greater than 1.0 g/t. The highest value obtained was 8,059 ppb Au from a silicified-carbonatized gabbro containing 1 to 2% disseminated to fracture fill fine to coarse grained arseneopyrite (Sample R18830). (Hussey, 2005). During the 2005 field season, soil sampling, prospecting and rock sampling were completed by Cornerstone personnel. A total of 255 soil samples were collected from two Reconnaissance soil grids within the Porterville property. The Porterville Northwest soil grid results were not encouraging as none of the 34 soil samples collected returned anomalous gold values (>5 ppb Au). The Porterville Southeast soil grid results were very encouraging. Of the 221 soil samples collected 16 returned anomalous Au values (>5 ppb Au) up to 3,203 ppb Au. A total of 54 rock samples were collected within and around the Porterville property. Of the 54 rock samples, 31 samples returned anomalous Au (>5 ppb Au) values and 14 samples returned values greater than 1,000 ppb Au. The best grab sample assayed 13,215 ppb Au and was collected from an outcrop of weakly carbonatized gabbro containing massive arsenopyrite (sample 11125). (Dyke, 2006). The 2006 work program consisted of trenching and trench reclamation work. All rock samples were shipped to Eastern Analytical Laboratories in Springdale, NL for preparation and analysis. Samples were analyzed for Au by fire assay and multi-element ICP-30 geochemistry. Trench locations were surveyed with a hand-held GPS in UTM Zone 21 (NAD 27) coordinates and should be accurately located within 5 to 10 m 9 A total of 32 grab samples and 33 channel samples were collected from mineralized and unmineralized gabbros, massive arseneopyrite, arseneopyrite filled fractures, and quartz filled fractures, quartz veins, quartz clots/pods, felsic intrusives, mafic dykes and feldspar porphyry gabbro during the course of the trenching. Fifty one of the grab/channel samples returned anomalous Au values (>5 ppb Au) up to 27,494 ppb Au (grab sample – 17422) and 9,326 ppb Au over 30 centimetres (channel sample – 17474). A channel sample with a weighted average of 2.8 g/t Au over 3.0 metres was cut from the Crooked Line trench. See trench maps for a detailed representation of the results. 10 IV Newfoundland Geology: The island of Newfoundland lies at the north-eastern edge of the Appalachian Oregen. Newfoundland is divided into three major tectonic-stratigraphic subdivisions: the Humber Zone, Central Mobile Belt and the Avalon Zone (Williams, 1978). The Humber Zone, underlying the north-western part of the island is separated from the south-eastern Avalon Zone by the Central Mobile Belt (Fig.2). The Humber Zone, with it’s Precambrian crystalline basement of late Grenvillian gneisses and plutonic rocks is overlain with Palaeozoic (Eocambrian to Ordovician ) shelf facies clastic and carbonate rock sequences (Ermer, P. 1986 ). The Avalon Zone consists of a Precambrian basement of late Hadrynian metavolcanic, meta-sedimentary and plutonic rock overlain by early Palaeozoic (Eocambrian to Ordovician) shallow marine sedimentary strata (Williams, H. 1972). The Central Mobile Belt records the formation, development and later destruction of the early Paleozoic ocean Impetus (Harland and Gayer, 1972). The Central Mobile belt is divided into the Dunnage Zone and the Gander Zone and consists of island/back-arc volcanic, sedimentary, amphibolites and plutonic rocks ranging in age from early Ordovician to Jurassic. The pre-Silurian rocks of this zone record the intra-oceanic events of island arc and back arc basins. Two geological subzones, the Notre Dame and Exploits make up this zone. They are separated by a large terrain boundary, (The Red Indian Line) with the Notre Dame Sub zone to the west and the Exploits to the east. The Exploits sub zone represents remnants of the southeast flank of the Iapetus Ocean and is in contact and in part overlies the continentally derived sedimentary rocks of the Gander Zone. The sedimentary rocks of the Gander Zone are said to have been deposited at or near the eastern continental margin of the Iapetus Ocean (Colman - Sadd, 1980). 11 V Regional Geology: The Dunnage Melange extends southwest from Dildo Run some 40 km across the Bay of Exploits to Stanhope. Its outcrop width is 13 km from Boyd's Cove to New World Island. The true thickness of the melange is impossible to determine because of its internal chaos, though Horne (1968) has suggested that it is on the magnitude of a few thousand metres. However, bordering rocks are all steeply dipping and the thickness could be much more. The Dunnage Melange is bounded immediately to the southwest by arc volcanics and basinal sediments of the Early and Middle Ordovician New Bay Formation of the Exploits Group. This boundary has been interpreted as conformable (Hibbard and Williams, 1979) or faulted (O'Brien, 1992). Gabbro sills, present in the New Bay Formation, cut the Dunnage Melange, thereby establishing an intrusive link. Along its southeast margin, the Dunnage Melange is bounded by the Reach Fault or truncated by the Loon Bay Batholith (Williams, 1994). Along its northwest side, on New World Island, the melange is bounded by Middle Ordovician to Silurian, north-facing black shale’s and greywackes of the Dark Hole and Samson formations, respectively. The nature of this contact is controversial, as it has been interpreted as conformable (Horne, 1969; Hibbard and Williams, 1979), and faulted (Kay, 1976; Lorenz, 1985; Van deer Pluijm, 1986), depending on where the boundary is drawn (Williams, 1994). The Dunnage Melange is a heterogeneous deposit composed of blocks of mainly clastic sedimentary and mafic volcanic rocks enveloped in a dark scaly shale matrix. The most obvious components of the melange are large round blocks of mafic volcanic rocks with fragmental rocks, commonly associated with minor grey limestone. The volcanic blocks range in size from metres to a kilometre in diameter. Micaceous quartz greywackes are another abundant rock type. Other important components of the Dunnage Melange are silicic volcanic rocks, limestones, conglomerates, cherts, and psammitic shists. Less abundant rock types include fragmental mafic volcanic rocks with cobbles and boulders of gabbro and granodiorite, mixtite with cobbles of quartzite and limestone, and a block of ferrugenous manganiferous chert. Serpentinite, ultramafic rocks, or other ophiolitic components are absent. Most blocks are indigenous to nearby volcanic groups; however a few, such as mixtite and ferruginous manganiferous chert, are foreign. The matrix of the melange is a pyrite-rich dominantly black, grey, green, and locally red shale with streaky layers of former beds and disrupted folds of bedding. The matrix displays a steeply dipping cleavage, the intensity of which is generally 12 proportional to the size and concentration of inclusions in the shale. An Ordovician age of melange formation is defined by fossil ages of blocks and matrix, lack of younger components, and Ordovician isotope ages of intrusions that cut the melange. A variety of small intrusions that are localized within the melange are rare or absent in surrounding country rocks. Of these the 467? 5 Ma Coaker Porphyry is most extensive and well exposed. It is an S-type rhyodacite that occurs as a number of small intrusions of irregular outline from 100 m to 2 km in diameter. The porphyry is a distinctive fine grained grey rock with phenocrysts of plagioclase and quartz up to 1 cm in diameter. Laths of biotite, phlogopite, and hornblende are largely altered to chlorite and carbonate. The matrix of the rock consists of fine grained plagioclase and quartz. Lobate, pillowed, corrugated, and pahoehoe-like igneous contact surfaces, complex interlayering of host mudstone and dacite, and occurrences of peperite, all indicate that magma intruded unconsolidated mud, and the adjacent sediment was fluidized. These relationships indicate contemporaneity with melange formation. The Causeway Diorite is a xenolith-rich phase of the Coaker Porphyry. It occurs as a small distinctive intrusion of irregular outline that contains numerous maficultramafic inclusions from 1 cm to 10 cm in diameter. The mafic-ultramafic inclusions may represent a sampling of ophiolitic rocks beneath the Dunnage Melange. Relationships of gabbro sills at the southwest portion of the melange to the Coaker Porphyry and other intrusions in the northeast are unknown. The Gabbro sills in the southwest are interpreted as Ordovician as they are mainly confined to the New Bay Formation of the Exploits Group and they do not cut Caradocian black shale’s or higher units. A recent isotope age of 463.7? 2 Ma confirms this interpretation. . 13 VI Local Geology: The property is predominantly underlain with rocks of the Dunnage Melange which are host to several intrusions of the Thwart Island Gabbro, The Porterville Gabbro and The Long Island Granadiorite in the northern, eastern and western areas. Siliciclastic marine greywacke of the Badger Group occur in fault contact with the Porterville Gabbro and The Long Island Granadiorite to the extreme northern portion of the claim group. is bounded immediately to the southwest by arc volcanics and basinal sediments of the Early and Middle Ordovician New Bay Formation of the Exploits Group. This boundary has been interpreted as conformable (Hibbard and Williams, 1979) or faulted (O'Brien, 1992). Gabbro sills, present in the New Bay Formation, cut the Dunnage Melange, thereby establishing an intrusive link. Along its southeast margin, the Dunnage Melange is bounded by the Reach Fault or truncated by the Loon Bay Batholith (Williams, 1994). The Dunnage Melange is a heterogeneous deposit composed of blocks of mainly clastic sedimentary and mafic volcanic rocks enveloped in a dark scaly shale matrix. The most obvious components of the melange are large round blocks of mafic volcanic rocks with fragmental rocks, commonly associated with minor grey limestone. The volcanic blocks range in size from metres to a kilometre in diameter. Micaceous quartz greywackes are another abundant rock type. Other important components of the Dunnage Melange are silicic volcanic rocks, limestone’s, conglomerates, cherts, and psammitic shists. Less abundant rock types include fragmental mafic volcanic rocks with cobbles and boulders of gabbro and granodiorite, mixtite with cobbles of quartzite and limestone, and a block of ferrugenous manganiferous chert. Serpentinites, ultramafic rocks, or other ophiolitic components are absent. Most blocks are indigenous to nearby volcanic groups; however a few, such as mixtite and ferrugenous manganiferous chert, are foreign. The matrix of the melange is a pyrite-rich dominantly black, grey, green, and locally red shale with streaky layers of former beds and disrupted folds of bedding. The matrix displays a steeply dipping cleavage, the intensity of which is generally proportional to the size and concentration of inclusions in the shale. An Ordovician age of melange formation is defined by fossil ages of blocks and matrix, lack of younger components, and Ordovician isotope ages of intrusions that cut the melange. Relationships of gabbro sills at the southwest portion of the melange to the Coaker Porphyry and other intrusions in the northeast are unknown. The Gabbro sills in the southwest are interpreted as Ordovician as they are mainly confined to the New Bay Formation of the Exploits Group and they do not cut Caradocian black shale’s or higher units. A recent isotope age of 463.7? 2 Ma confirms this interpretation. 14 VII Conclusion and Recommendations: Several days were spent prospecting the claim group with personnel from Quinlan Prospecting Incorporated. The majority of the shoreline in the central and northern portions of the claim group was prospected both for gold and nickel while GR-110 scintillometers were also carried with each prospector to prospect for uranium. Due to prospecting with a hammer and lens for gold and nickel and also carrying a scintillometer for uranium prospecting, ground coverage was slower than usual. Some days were spent just prospecting for uranium; ground coverage was much faster these days. All the old and new ATV and snowmobile trails were traversed. Also, the majority of the road cuts and ditches in the central and northern portion of the claim group were prospected. Several areas of alteration for gold and nickel were discovered along the shorelines. Gold was found to be only slightly elevated in these areas. One area discovered was highly anomalous in copper, nickel and cobalt but, due to the small nature of the area no further work is recommended for this but, an eye will be kept out for this type of mineralization anywhere else within the claim group. Several highly radioactive areas were discovered in old pits, gravel roads and in the ditches that are located along the highway. All these areas were sampled; all samples were anomalous in uranium with a high value of 366 ppm. Several of the old pits had areas of anomalous radioactivity of counts up 500cps; these areas will have to be prospected in a little better detail in the coming months after spring thaw. The Dump Showing was discovered in the road that leads to the town of Embree and Little Burnt Bays community dump. The showing actually runs into the old garbage pile. This area has had very little follow up work. This are should be mechanically trenched. The Lost Dog Showing located on the southern shoreline of the claim group was considered not to be has significant has the other areas found with in the claim group due to the scintillometer readings being a high of 3000cps compared to the other areas having scintillometer readings of mainly > 10,000 cps. This proved to be the opposite with the sample returning the highest uranium value discovered within the claim group to date. Very little follow up work has been done in the vicinity of the Lost Dog Showing. This area will be the first area to follow up in the spring to see if any other areas of radioactivity can be found or the known one can be traced along strike. The radioactive areas should be channel sampled in the spring. A couple other areas of highly anomalous radioactivity were discovered along the shoreline, only one of these was sampled due to the low scintillometer readings 250 - 15 1000cps. These areas along with the remaining shoreline will have to prospected again and attention will have to paid to just the slightest spike in scintillometer readings, due to the rocks being submerged under saltwater a majority of the time and uranium being more soluble in saltwater than fresh water. The surface of the rock exposure may be leached of uranium but underneath uranium should be more enriched. Numerous samples will have to be taken from these areas. The Mystery Showing will have to be exposed by mechanical trenching due to the shearing of the rocks in the area; the shearing is due to a northeast-southwest trending fault structure which cuts the entire peninsula. Trenching will also expose the whole area to determine the extent of the radioactivity. More competent rock has to be exposed and sampled to determine the amount of uranium in these areas. The Powerline Showing can be mechanically trenched the same time has the Mystery Showing is being trenched due to both of them are in close proximity to each other and are possibly related. Permitting for this should be easy due to the showings being located on the edge of an old pit. The Pit Showings should also be mechanically trenched. More competent rock should be easily exposed in these areas due to the outcrops surrounding the showings being quite competent, just slightly sheared and highly fractured. Permitting should also be easy for this area due the showings being located within and old pit. The Ditch Showing can be trenched mechanically further to the south where subcrop boulders were discovered away from the highway. Permitting maybe a little harder for this one due to it being located close to the highway. The Little Burnt Bay Property should be optioned to an exploration company or the company could come and do a certain amount of exploration for first right of refusal for the property. This way the company could possibly fly an airborne radiometric survey over the property, which would light up like a Christmas tree in the areas that have already been discovered and most likely would highlight numerous other areas that have not been discovered yet. If neither company is found by late Spring to fly an radiometric survey, applications for permits should be sent, so approval can be received and the trenching and sampling can be done during late Summer or early Fall. . 16 VIII References: Blackwood, R.F.
