Abstract:
The primary objective of this investigation is detailed bedrock mapping and evaluation of economic mineralization potential in the southern and western Whitesail Lake map area (NTS 93E). Fieldwork in 2005 concentrated on the southwestern corner of the Whitesail Lake map area (NTS 93E/03, 04, 05, 06), extending work completed to the east under the auspices of the Rocks to Riches Program (Mahoney et al., 2005; Gordee et al., 2005). Year 2 of the project will focus on areas to the north and northeast of the present map area, with the ultimate goal of providing a comprehensive evaluation of economic mineralization potential of the southern and western Whitesail Lake map area.
