GENEVA LAKE

Geneva Lake, north of Sudbury, Ontario, consists of four road-accessible claims in the Benny Greenstone Belt in Hess Township. The former Geneva Lake Mine (Pb-Zn-Ag) is located on these claims, which mine produced 80,588 tons of ore with a grade of 3.34% lead and 9.21% zinc from 1941 to 1944 (see OGS report 206, Geology of the Benny Area). Historic data from that period (which data is not NI 43-101 compliant and cannot be relied upon) suggests that high grade base metal mineralization (approximately 44% combined Pb + Zn) may be found there.

A later report on the Geneva Lake Polymetallic Deposit by Constable (1989) describes Geneva Lake’s mineralization as a stratabound massive sulfide deposit that, “… strikes southeasterly, dips south at 45º to 50º and rakes to the southeast at 45º. The sulfide zone is conformable to the stratigraphy and on surface has been traced along a 700 foot strike length. Sulfide widths vary from 2 to 20 feet with an average width of 5 feet”. Sulphide mineralization, having an average combined grade of 13%, was reported to be generally massive with distinct banding parallel to bedding planes in the host strata.

CBLT has completed Phase 1 of its exploration here, the two main goals of which were to make an initial assessment of the claims, and in particular, of volcanogenic massive sulphide-style, base metal mineralization remaining underground in proximity to the historic underground workings, and to help locate such workings relative to surface.

Phase 1 achieved these goals.
