According to Pye (1965), the Jackpot property was named for the size of the area, about 1,000 ft (=304.8 m) across, throughout which outcrops of lithium-bearing pegmatite are numerous and closely spaced. The spodumene-bearing pegmatites on the Jackpot property are hosted by quartz- mica schist. The pegmatites are zoned with an occasional aplite border zone, and common quartz-feldspar-mica outer zone andspodumene-bearing pegmatite inner zone. The Jackpot consists of 3 contiguous claims, 4 claim units and a total of 64 ha. The claims are jointly owned by Jim Forbes, John Rapski and Steve Forbes. In October 2009, Jim Forbes, John Rapski, Steve Forbes and Golden Dory entered into an option agreement whereby Golden Dory gets a 100% interest in the property by paying the three prospectors a total of $100,000 cash and issuing 400,000 shares. The three prospectors retain a 2% NSR. 2.0 Location The Jackpot is located about 1 km southeast of Georgia Lake shore, approximately 50 km northeast of the town of Nipigon by road and 140 km northeast of Thunder Bay (Figure 1). The Jackpot is located within Thunder Bay Mining Division, Barbara Lake area in NTS sheet 42E05SW. The approximate center of Golden Dory’s claims is UTM 432551 E, 5461493 N, Zone 16, NAD83 and longitude/latitude 87º55’40”W and 49º18’9”N. 3.0 Access The Jackpot can be accessed by helicopter from Thunder Bay to the property a distance of approximately 140 km northeast of the city. Under ideal dry conditions an alternate means of access is to drive 40 km north of the town of Nipigon on TransCanada Highway #11, then drive 10 km east on a dirt road towards Georgia Lake. The southwest corner of claim 4245836 is 20 m northeast of the dirt road. 4.0 Claim Description and Ownership The Jackpot consists of 3 contiguous claims, 4 claim units and a total of 64 ha (Table 1) and Figure 2 The claims are jointly owned by Jim Forbes, John Rapski and Steve Forbes (see Table 1 for details of ownership. In October 2009, Jim Forbes, John Rapski, Steve Forbes and Golden Dory entered into an option agreement whereby Golden Dory gets a 100% interest in the property by paying the three prospectors a total of $100,000 cash and issuing 400,000 shares. The three prospectors retain a 2% NSR. The boundaries of the claims were located by ground staking. The surface rights are owned by the Crown. There are no historic mine workings, tailings or environmental liabilities on the property.

The parts of the area in which metasediments are exposed are, for the most part, of low relief. In contrast, the parts underlain by granitic rocks are rugged, with rounded hills rising up to about 150 feet above the general level. Most conspicuous, however, are high, imposing vertical or near-vertical cliffs at the boundaries of large exposed sheet-like masses of diabase.” “Rock exposures in the area are abundant, and between the outcrops there is a thin mantle of glacial deposits. These glacial deposits consist mainly of stratified accumulations of unconsolidated sand and gravel. Some of them represent a ground moraine sorted by the action of glacial meltwaters; others form prominent terraces along the shores of Lake Nipigon and in the valley occupied by Keemle and Wanogu Lakes, and are abandoned beach deposits. Esker ridges also are present but are not high and do not extend for any great distances.” The topography on Golden Dory’s current claims is moderate. The minimum elevation is 436 m near the lake in claim 4245840 which is underlain by metasediments. The maximum elevation is 489 m on top of the hill on the east side of claim 4245837 which is underlain by Nipigon diabase. Thus the range in elevation is 53 m (Selway, 2010). 6.0 Prospecting Traverses covered two claims 4245837 and 4245840 of the 3 claim group. Prospecting was carried out to locate any historic workings and assess the potential of surrounding rock to host significant lithium and tantalum mineralization (Appendix 1). During the traverses overburden cover, topography and vegetation were noted. Outcrops were described and samples were taken for lab analysis of whole rock oxides, lithium,tantalum, rare earth elements and other associated trace elements (Appendix 2 and 3). Samples were subseqently plotted on a map at 1:2,500 scale (Map 1). Sample descriptions, vegetation, overburden, traverses and outcrops were plotted on a map at 1:1,000 scale (Map 2). Chondrite normalized rare earth element plots were provided by Actlabs (Appendix 4). Rare earth elements were converted to percentage oxide and totaled (TREO) and listed in Appendix 5. Prospecting was carried out in the field by the following personnel: Mr Michael Stares 3250 Highway 130 Rosslyn, ON P7K 0B1 _________________________________ 4 432,000 mE 432,500 mE 433,000 mE 433,500 mE 5,462,000mN 5,462,000mN 5,461,500mN 5,461,500mN 5,461,000mN 5,461,000mN 0 100 200 metres 432,000 mE 432,500 mE 433,000 mE 433,500 mE 5 Mr Stephen Stares RR #2, 3250 West Arthur St. Thunder Bay, ON P7C 4V1 _______ __________________________ Mr Kevin Keats 4 Carr Crescent Gander, NL A1V 2E3 _________________________________ Respectfully Submitted, Paul E.

  • Community Well-Being and the Anishinabeg of the Lake Nipigon Region of Northern Ontario
    26 y 27 de abril, Ciudad de México. Community Well-Being and the Anishinabeg of the Lake Nipigon Region of Northern Ontario By Robert Robson, Ph.D Chair and Associate Professor Department of Indigenous Learning Lakehead University Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada Introduction The Community Well-Being Project is a collaborative research project that was initiated jointly by the members of the Anishinabeg community of the Lake Nipigon area of northern Ontario and faculty within the Department of Indigenous Learning at Lakehead University. The intention of the project was to document the land-use activities of the Anishinabeg in and around the Lake over an extended period of time and to demonstrate the connectedness of the Anishinabeg community to the land. At the same time, the project was intended to show how the health and well-being of the Anishinabeg community was directly linked to the land. Focusing on trapping territory, hunting areas and berry picking grounds as well as the location of winter lodges and summer fish camps, the project also aimed to highlight “traditional territory”. Indeed, the unstated goal of the initiative was to “reclaim” traditional territory; to prove occupancy. As the project evolved and as the community became more and more invested in the project, the Community Well-Being Project morphed into a community development project. While the land-use component remained an important part of the undertaking, land-use became a tool of community development. Working within a framework of asset based community development, the land-use activities of the Anishinabeg became the catalyst for community sustainability.

  • Kyanite in the Western Superior Province of Ontario
    359 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 37, pp.359-373 (1999) KYANITEIN THEWESTERN SUPERIOR PROVINCE OF ONTARIO: IMPLICATIONSFOR ARCHEAN ACCRETIONARY TECTONICS- YUANMING PAN' Department of Geological Sciences,University of Saskatchewan,Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 5E2 MICHAEL E. FLEET Department of Earth Sciences,University of Westem Ontario, London, Ontario N6A 587 ABSTRACT Thirteen occunences of kyanite in Archean supracrustalrocks of the western Superior Province of Ontario are grouped into three distinct lithotectonic associations:I) metapelites close to subprovince and terrane boundaries, II) metapelitei near faults within greenstonebelts, and III) metamorphosedA1-Si-rich alteration assemblagesassociated with volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) mineralization in greenstone belts. Kyanite of groups I and II is commonly associated with staurolite and texturally predatesthe main assemblageof metamorphic minerals (Sil + Grt + Bt + Pl + Qtz), indicating that a medium-P, low-T Barrovian metamorphism occurred before the main, regional low-P/T metamorphism that characterizesthe western Superior Province. This earlier Barrovian metamorphism (670-730 MPa, 500-560"C) was followed by significant unloading (up to 12 km at the Quetico- Wabigoon boundary) before the development of the main penetrative deformation and the regional low-P/T metamorphism The results of geothermobarometryand the restricted locations of group-I and group-Il kyanite are interpreted to reflect crustal thick- ening as part of accretionary tectonic processesfor the collage of individual
