Title: | Annual report on MCNs 2320 and 2365. |

Abstract: | Two parallel folds trending south east are apparent within MCN's 2320 and 2365. The western most fold is tight to isoclinal with a southerly dipping axial plane. This appears to be unmineralized. The eastern fold is inferred to be an extension of the major Fountain Head anticline and may be intimately related to the mineralization detected in MLN 941. Two parallel anticlinal fold hinges have been located within the claims from photogeology interpretation. The most easterly of the two is an extension to the well documented Fountain Head anticline see Goulevitch (1987), Scriven et al (1987), and Holden (1988)). The plunge of the folds is unknown, however the dominant cleavage is most likely an axial plane cleavage and suggest the fold is tight to slightly isoclinal with a southerly dip to the axial plane. Both folds are warped about on E-W macroscopic structure and pass from an E-W trend to a SE trend seen within the claims. Unfortunately, results of rock chip sampling Kose (1988)), has failed to locate any significant mineralization within the B.I.F. (with the westerly fold), but trenching results from MCN 941 Kose (1988)) suggests the strong possibility of continued mineralization, (inferred to be associated with the fold), may extend into MCN 2365. From the photogeology interpretation and regional mapping conducted across these two mineral claims, it has become apparent that the potential of mineralized structural traps similar to Fountain Head may be present within MCN's 2320, 2365. The claims, therefore warrant further investigation and would benefit greatly from a second phase of exploration, (trenching and percussion drilling) during the 1989 field season. |
