Grand Calumet Property, Quebec
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: An additional 39 contiguous claims have been optioned whereby Hawk can earn a 100% interest in approximately 1,550 hectares (February 22, 2007 and March 6, 2007) The property is easily accessible via all weather. gravel and paved roads. PROPERTY HISTORY: Diamond drilling and scintillometer surveys showed two important radioactive zones with the most promising area near the intersection of two zones in lots 29 and 30, Range VII. Further drilling was undertaken in the area with a reported 80 holes being drilled. Geological mapping, mineralogical studies, and further analysis followed with all work being completed by 1956. Government records do not show any work being submitted since 1956, with the property remaining in the same hands most recently under the name of Albarmont Mines Corporation. PROPERTY GEOLOGY: The first is characterized by coarse grained and irregularly shaped fluorite- pyroxene skarns. The fluorite is dark purple and commonly contains long narrow prisms of partially altered uranothorite. Dark green pyroxene, apatite, pink calcite, scapolite, feldspar and several other minerals are also present. Associated rocks are well developed pyroxene granites, syenites and hybrids. This type of zone occurs on lots 28 to 31 inclusive, Range 7. Assays up to 4% U3O8 and 20% ThO2 have been recorded from this type of mineralization. The second is characterized by limestone or skarn composed principally of white to salmon-pink calcite. Small amounts of diopside, lithium bearing yellow mica and chondrodite are also present. Radioactive minerals include cubes of black uranoan thorianite and grains of red uranothorite. The rock units outcrop in a band which strikes N60BE and dips southeast of the contact between limestones and pyroxenic granites on lots 29 and 30, Range 7. A radioactive zone extends some 500 feet on surface with a few feet of width exposed. A 1,500 pound bulk sample assayed 0.10% U3O8 and 0.15% ThO2, the radioactive minerals being uranoan, thorianite, uranothorite and monazite. The zone appears to be a calcite rich skarn which closely resembles the limestone in which it occurs. Structurally the area of the zone is complex with folding and cross-folding evident. This zone was reported to contain 490,000 tons averaging 0.05% U3O8 and 0.15% ThO2. An odd third type of slightly radioactive mineralization occurs on the lot line of lots 28 and 29, Range 7. Here, pits have exposed sulphide rich rock, which has weathered to rusty material. (The above descriptions were paraphrased from Geological Report 80, Radioactive Mineral Occurrences of the Province of Quebec, by D.M. Shaw, 1958, pages 30 to 32 inclusive.) The only reference to the property subsequent to 1958 is the 1983 Annual Report of Albarmont. A possible tonnage of 1,000,000 tonnes grading 0.08% U3O8 , 0.29% ThO2 and 10-15% fluorite is indicated within their report. PREVIOUS WORK COMPLETED: CURRENT WORK PROGRAM: |
