Capsule Geology

The Emma 20 occurrence is located between Pike Lake and the Cameron River.

The area is underlain by rocks of the Paleozoic Sicker Group comprising deformed breccia, tuff, argillite, greenstone, greenschist, narrow dikes of andesite porphyry, and argillaceous and calcareous sedimentary rocks. There are numerous faults and shear zones in the area suggesting a north-northeast fault through the Peak Lake area. A number of quartz veins and carbonatized zones are present.

Locally, intensely carbonatized, silicified and brecciated argillite hosts disseminated pyrite.

Work History

During 1983 to 1989, Au Resources Ltd. completed programs of prospecting, geochemical sampling, geological mapping, trenching, an induced polarization survey and twelve diamond drill holes, totalling 1511.8 metres, on the Emma claims. A lone grab sample from the zone assayed 0.800 gram per tonne gold, 9.9 grams per tonne silver and 0.119 per cent lead (Assessment Report 19471).

In 2016, Karmamount Mineral Exploration Inc. completed a program of prospecting and rock sampling on the area.

In 2020, Corcel Explorations Inc. completed an 811.3 line-kilometre airborne magnetic survey on the area as the Peak property.
