A gold prospect.
History:
1927: Pawnee Kirkland Mines Ltd sank a 2-compartment shaft to a depth of 238 m (780 feet) with levels every 38 m (125 feet) to the 229 m (750 foot) level. Under ground work amounted to 990 m (3247 feet) of cross-cutting and drifting. The Number 2 vein was explored on the 125, 250 and 500 foot levels with most of the work concentrated on the 750 foot level. The mine closed in 1928.
1933: Regal Kirkland Gold Mines was incorporated in 1933 to take over the property. The mines was dewatered in 1936 and a program of sampling, 312 m (1025 feet) of diamond drilling and 168 m (550 feet) of drifting was carried out. Work was suspended in 1936
1937: The property reverted back to Pawnee Kirkland Gold Mines Ltd.
1964: Property optioned by Labrador Mining Exploration (Ontario) Limited dewatered the old workings and erected a new headframe erected and did 915 m (3000 feet) of drifting as well as underground diamond drilling on the 152 m (500 foot) and 229 m (750 foot) levels.
1966: Pawnee Kirkland Gold Mines Ltd.'s charter was cancelled and Upper Canada Mines Limited acquired the property.
Geology:
Quartz veins in carbonatized volcanic rocks. the property is underlain by eastwest striking and southern dipping Timiskaming trachytes, conglomerates and wackes. A small band of wackes separate trachytes and porphyrite to the north. In the middle of the property, a narrow band of tuff separates prophyritic trachyte from a trachyte sill. A small band of conglomerate is contained within the sill on the western edge of the property. Coarse wackes and conglomerates can be found on the southern boundary.
