Overview
The Buzz Lake Gold Project is located in west central Manitoba, about 27 kilometres southeast of the mining community of Snow Lake. The new acquisition includes three contiguous mineral claims covering an estimated area of four and half square kilometres, on the southeast shore of Wekusko Lake. A dirt road is located about 2.2 km south of the claims which are accessible in the summer months via boat and winter via a winter road which crosses the property.
In 1983 Hudson Bay Exploration and Development (HBED) completed an EM 16 VLF geophysical survey on the Buzz Lake Property. The survey detected two northward trending conductors within the Broad Bay Pluton intrusive host rock (a Paleoproterozoic meta-granodiorite with inclusions of meta-volcanic lithologies). In the spring of 1985, HBED drilled two diamond drill holes, KUS 168 and KUS 169, testing these blind soil-covered geophysical conductors. Hole KUS 168 cut a few intervals of 'hydrothermal alteration' which reported no gold values. Hole KUS169, located about 1,000m west-northwest of KUS168 on a roughly parallel geophysical conductor, intersected similar intervals of hydrothermal alteration but these are reported to contain significant gold values. The drill core log also reports a few very fine grained (0.1 to 0.3 mm) visible gold grains. The 1985 HBED assessment report (Manitoba assessment report number 93516) notes the quartz-carbonate veins observed in hole KUS169 occur in brittle fractures and shears within the intrusive, containing 1-5% disseminated sulphides. Sulphides are reported to be dominated by pyrite and arsenopyrite, with lesser amounts of chalcopyrite.
1985 HBED Drill Hole KUS169:
Gold values are reported from 45.35m to 47.70 m and from 53.65m to 57.39m down hole. The uncut average gold content for the 3.74 metres from 53.65 to 57.39 is 7.65 gpt. The most significant individual samples are shown below:
Near term exploration plans for Buzz Lake include a ground based magnetic and VLF-EM geophysical survey, with follow-up diamond drill testing.
*The preceding data pre-date and are therefore non-compliant with NI 43-101 and have not been verified by Kermode, however Kermode considers the source reliable, the data were collected in conformity with the standards of the time, and are considered useful to direct future exploration.
