Summary:
T h e Wind Claim G r o u p is i m m e d i a t e l y n o r t h o f the M i d w a y
property of Regional R e s o u r c e s Ltd. (Amax-Procan option),
and has a geological setting similar to that of the nearby
Midway silver-lead-zinc-barite deposits. C o n s i d e r i n g t h e
proximity of the Wind C l a i m Area to the Midway deposit, a
basic (Stage I) exploration program of prospecting, mapping,
rock and s o i l g e o c h e m i s t r y and g e o p h y s i c s is h i g h l y
recommended for the property.
T h e S t a g e I program is
estimated to cost $48,000.
I f the S t a g e I program is
successful 'in defining strong anomalies or silver-lead-zinc
o r barite m i n e r a l i z a t i o n , t h e n a S t a g e I 1 t r e n c h i n g and
A 500 meter

Snow conditions
prevent a useful examination of the property a t this t i m e ,
and therefore the S t a g e I program is based on the writer's

exploration programs. Cost estimates are based on a minimum
use of helicopter time which will require careful planning.

I n the Jennings River and
C a s s i a r - M c D a m e m a p a r e a s a n d t h e s o u t h part o f Wolf Lake
area the eastern flank is underlain by Paleozoic r o c k s f r o m
C a m b r i a n to C a r b o n i f e r o u s in age and separable into two or
more contrasting assemblages, some of which are b e l i e v e d t o
b e " a l l o c t h o n o u s " (i .e. deposited elsewhere and moved into
place along flat lying faults) (Gabrielse and Mansy, 1980).
Rocks are described by Poole (Map 10-1960) and by Gabrielse
(GSC Paper 68-55, 1968) ; b r i e f d e s c r i p t i o n s o f t h e m a p p e d
units are summarized below:
Units 1 and 2: (Lower Cambrian)
Unit 1 consists of b i o t i t e s c h i s t s , q u a r t z i t e , m a r b l e a n d
s k a r n , w i t h a r e a s o f e x t e n s i v e s i l l s , dykes and irregular
bodies of pegmatites, particularly near the contact with the
Cassiar batholith.
U n i t 2 c o n t a i n s q u a r t z i t e , slate and phyllite, quartz grft
and fine pebble conglomerate. Adjacent to the b a t h o l i t h t h e
rocks are hornfelsed.
Unit 3: (Lower Cambrian)
T h i s u n i t , w h i c h is host to numerous lead-zinc-silver
showings in the area, contains grey limestone, grey to green
argillite and slate, and dolomite. The unit is converted to
skarn adjacent to the batholith.
Unit 4: (Middle Cambrian to Silurian)
Slates, p h y l l i t e s a n d l i m e s t o n e , b u f f t o d a r k g r e y , w i t h
d o l o m i t e and d o l o m i t i c 1 imestone partly converted to skarn
forms a unit which is difficult to separate from units 2 and
3.
Unit 5: (Ordovician-Silurian)
T h i s u n i t c o n t a i n s m a i n l y q u a r t z i t e s , dolomitic siltstone
a n d thin-bedded s h a l e a n d l i m e s t o n e , a n d i s p r o b a b l y
equivalent to u n i t 4 in the adjacent J e n n i n g s R i v e r m a p
sheet.
McDame Group-Unit 6:
T h e McDame Group, dark, fetid, dolomites and limestones with
abundant f o s s i l d e b r i s , f o r m s a d i s t i n c t i v e m a r k e r u n i t .

vuggy dolomite may r e p r e s e n t reefoid a c c u m u l a t i o n s o f
fossils, representing
shoals in a shallow platform
environment.
Fossil e v i d e n c e indicates that the McDame
Group is Middle Devonian in age.
Lower Svlvester G r o u ~- Unit 7b:
According to G a b r i e l s e (1968) " t h e c o n t a c t o f t h e M c D a m e
G r o u p w i t h the o v e r l y i n g S y l v e s t e r G r o u p i s a l m o s t
T h e l o w e r part o f t h e u n i t is
invariably a fault
fine-grained, black, locally graphitic slates and phyllitea,
with grey to black bedded and ribbon cherts. The upper part
c o n t a i n s a r g i l l i t e s , interbedded with sandstones, grit and
conglomerate. Cherty, fine-grained limestone may be present
near the top of the unit.
."
Several barite-silica "exhalite" horizons are present within
the lower Sylvester G r o u p i n t h e v i c i n i t y o f t h e " M i d w a y "
property.
S t r a t g r a p h y i n t h i s a r e a , within the Sylvester
Group is described in detail by Hylands (1981), and is shown
o n the following page, w i t h a diagrammatic stratigraphic
section (Figure 4).

T h e volcanics include b a s a l t , d a c i t e and
rhyolite flows and coarse-grained equivalent intrusive rocks
a r e s a i d t o e x i s t fn t h e u n i t ( G o r d e y , et a 1 1982).
Most
rocks are pervasively altered to "greenstones", m a k i n g t h e m
appear mass tve.
Cassiar Batholith:
T h e northwesterly trending elongate Cassiar Batholith
underlies the most rugged terrain in the map area.
Much o f
the batholith consists of massive, homogeneous biotite
quartz-monzonite, grey in color and medium to c o a s e g r a i n e d
in
texture.
Other
varieties
include
muscovite
quart z-monzonite, a u g e n g n e i s s e s , and later pegmatitic
dykes. Alteration and shearing are commonly associated
features -sericitization, c h l o r i t i z a t i o n a n d a l b i t i z a t i o n
are prevalent in some areas.
O t h e r g r a n i t o i d r o c k t y p e s occur in the Jennings River map
sheet but are not within the scope of this report.
Dvkes:
Greenstone dykes are common in the batholith and also within
the adjacent Paleozoic r o c k u n i t s .
Some of the dykes are
k n o w n to be lamprophyres.
Structure:
T h e S y l v e s t e r " a l l o c t h o n " i s c h a r a c t e r i z e d by a b r o a d ,

Tight

Lake.
Strong northwest to northeast faulting has also
affected the area, as is seen in the accompanying geological
map (figure 3).
Most faults are s t e e p , n o r m a l f a u l t s s u c h

Faults
are marked by depressions and green dykes, some of which are
schistose, indicating continued movement.

The f o l l o w i n g
key
prospecting g u i d e s should be c a r e f u l l y recorded:

Section thickening associated with growth f a u l t s ;
2.
Tntraformational

turbidites occuring because
relief;
3.
Siliceous
4.
Stringer mineralization with

5.
A c h a r a c t e r i s t i c porous o r pumice-like rock of white
colour is associated with b a r i t i c outcrops t h a t have
leached carbomate o r sulphides;

and
of f a u l t controlled

6.
Vegatative k i l l zones are associated with baritic
horizons; and
7.
Siliceous or baritic exhalite deposits should be
carefully checked for lead content (galena).

Lead is generally the best

elements may help in defining zoning.
Conclusions and Recommendations:
Considering the proximity o f the Wind Claims to the exciting
n e w M i d w a y s i l v e r - l e a d - z i n c - b a r i t e d i s c o v e r y a n d similar
geological settings, a basic (Stage I) e x p l o r a t i o n p r o g r a m
of mapping, soil and rock geochemistry, geophysics and
trenching is highly recommended. I f t h e S t a g e I p r o g r a m is
s u c c e s s f u l i n l o c a t i n g m i n e r a l i z a t i o n or strong anomalies
then a follow-up (Stage 11) trenching a n d d i a m o n d d r i l l i n g
p r o g r a m w i l l be w a r r a n t e d .
I f broad or poorly defined
anomalies result from S t a g e I, t h e n a S t a g e I 1 p e r c u s s i o n
drtlling program should be considered.
Geological mapping should be conducted a t a b a s e m a p s c a l e
o f 1 : 5 0 0 0 . w i t h more detailed grid mapping as required. Soil
s a m p l e s s h o u l d b e c o l l e c t e d a t 25 m e t e r i n t e r v a l s a l o n g
lfnes as normal to geological strike a s possible.
Rock and
soil samples should be analysed for C u , P b , Z n , Ag a n d B a .
L e a d is u s u a l l y t h e b e s t i n d i c a t o r e l e m e n t , but t y p i c a l
zoning from an iron rich core to z i n c - c o p p e r t o l e a d - z i n c
to silver-lead and marginal barite should be considered when
evaluating geochemical data. E l e c t r o m a g n e t i c a n d m a g n e t i c
r e a d i n g s s h o u l d be c o l l e c t e d along all soil lines to allow
for comparison of results.
