The d a t a was obtained using t h e Wenner a r r a y . This

Some 5.5 l i n e miles of surveying were completed a c r o s s

roads which c r i s s - c r o s s t h e a r e a of i n t e r e s t .
DISCUSSIOI: OF RXSULTS
The c h a r g e a b i l i t y d a t a i s shown on F i p r e 2 and t h e
apparent r e s i s t i v i t y on Figure 3 a t a s c a l e of 1" = 1000'.
For c o n t i n u i t y t h e r e s u l t s of t h i s survey a r e shown along
w i t h t h e d a t a f r o m t h e 1972 Induced P o l a r i z a t i o n program.
The resistivity data shovrs moderate changes which in
general can be attributed to variations in the physical
characteristics of the overburden and depth to bedrock.
The chargeability data shows a small anomaly on line A
which reached a maximum of 7.4 milliseconds. This anomly
is supported by readings taken along line D and the logging
road. Line A tends to follow a northwest directed topographic depression which may represent a mineralized
structural zone, since the chargeability values along it
are biased to the anomalous side. If this is the case,
it would agree with chargeability data near the Beaver Dam
showing which is biased in a northwest-southeast direction.
During the early part of Nay 1974, a limited amount
of induced polarization surveying was conducted over the
Stan, Skull and Xac mineral claims on behalf of Canway
Explorations Ltd.
The survey detected a zone of anomalous chargeabilities
which confirmed the anomaly obtained in 1969 with the unit
pulse I.?. systen. Since there is no apparent outcrop in
the area, possibly a limited amount of further induced
polarization surveying should be conducted to try and
extend the anomlous chargeability zone such that it would
warrent diamond drilling.
