Turnbull

Overview

• The area is north of the Destor Porcupine break and consists of the Kamiskotia Volcanic Complex. Stratigraphy and structure with the existence of historic pyrite-chalcopyrite rich quartz veins make this an ideal location for further exploration initiatives.

Regional Exploration and Production

The claim unit is underlain by early Precambrian (Archean) metavolcanics and metasediments belong to the Kamiskotia Volcanic Complex overlie and are intruded by the Kamiskotia Gabbroic Complex in Turnbull Township. The Kamistokia Volcanic Complex is comprised of tholeiitic basalts and basaltic andesites and high silica rhyolites. Intercalated mafic to felsic flows and rhyolitic pyroclastic rocks comprise the major lithologies.

These formations are intruded by the Kamiskotia Gabbroic Complex of mafic to ultramafic dikes and sills, consisting of feldspar porphyry and gabbro. Quartz monzonites and hornblende granodiorites are noted to intrude the felsic and mafic volcanics and the gabbros. Earlier to Middle Precambrian diabase dikes transect all rock types along north-northwest trends. Volcanogenic Massive stratabound sulphide deposits, the Kamiskotia and Canadian Jamieson, are associated with the intetrcalated mafic and felsic volcanic.

Other Local Exploration

Claims in adjacent township to West Timmins Mining, Lake Shore Gold discovery -- 12.75 g/t Au over 83.40m. The area is north of the Destor Porcupine break the more favourable area for gold mineralization. The Turnbull is adjacent to neighbouring base metal deposits such as the Genex and Kamkotia Mines. Godfrey & Turnbull Townships, Ontario which lies due West from the historic Timmins Camp. This camp has produced over 67 million ounces to date, the majority of which was mined in proximity to the DPFZ - Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone.

Property Geology

Surface work, including trenching, detailed mapping and prospecting was carried out on the Turnbull claims in 1960 and 1963. A trench was put down, and towards the NE end of the trench, a narrow, N/S striking quartz vein carrying pyrite and chalcopyrite was intersected. It was traced along strike in both directions for a continuous length of 40 feet, where it died out at both ends. The vein material was very rich in chalcopyrite (5-10% Cu) and the vein is located in a very fine-grained, black, basic dyke with disseminated pyrite, which strikes N/NE has a width of about 70 feet. The grid area was mapped in detail and mineralization was noted at six locations. The Company plans further work on this property.

Historical Highlights

The Geological Survey of Ontario reported on various geological mapping and airborne geophysical surveys of Turnbull Township from 1954 to 1990.
These claims were patented in 1914 and very limited work has been completed since.

In 1986 and 1987 Golden Trio Minerals Ltd work, mainly northwest of the patented claims, completed limited geophysical surveys including magnetic, EM Max Min II, and some induced polarization and followed by two diamond drill holes.

A Mega--TEM airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed by the Discovery Abitibi Project. Extensive airborne surveys were completed over many areas of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt including the Kamiskotia and Timmins West area.

Work Completed to Date

A planned prospecting and geological traverse was completed on June 17, 2009 on claim 4215574 to examine for possible favourable geology and structures which may host economic mineralization. The survey covered the more favourable high ground where opportunities for outcrop were should be enhanced. A sampling program was initiated in the fall of 2009 covering historic trenches and pits. Although only anomalous gold and copper mineralization was obtained, it is believed that follow up work is required. As well, a grid has been established with IP ground geophysics conducted which requires interpretation for possible chargeability anomalies to target with drilling.
