Kendrey ColquhounThe Kendrey-Colquhoun intrusive is located approximately 85 km north of Timmins, Ontario, and about 14 km southeast of Smooth Rock Falls.
In researching the MLAS, I found that some of the land, encompassing RT Mineral's property, has been withdrawn from claim staking. I found the following on the internet:
ORDER SECTION 35, THE MINING ACT, R.S.O. 1990 ORDER NO. W-P-96/14 The SURFACE RIGHTS and MINING RIGHTS of the area outlined in red on the attached sketch, situated in the Township of Colquhoun, in the Porcupine Mining Division, containing 304 hectares more or less, are hereby WITHDRAWN from prospecting, staking out, sale or lease.
This area is WITHDRAWN for aggregate extraction for MTO construction projects.
That said, I'm not sure what RT Minerals has in mind now, with respect to any exploration. The majority of the core of the 'intrusive' is within W-P-96/14. Perhaps RT Minerals can negotiate for the mineral rights on this ground, leaving the surface rights with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). There are also 2 other smaller leases located near the northwest corner of the large magnetic anomaly, but I'm not aware of who the owners are. There may be just enough of the negative magnetic anomaly on the east side of the Withdrawn land, to put a drill hole down to test the potential for rare earth rocks. If successful, then negotiate with the MTO.
In perusing the Assessment Files, I did not find any companies that carried out any work on this magnetic anomaly. However, I did find that the Ontario Geological Survey did carry out an airborne spectrometer and magnetic survey that covered a large area, including RT Mineral's property (Maps 82835, 82813, and 82824).
In referring to Map 2161, the rock types have been indicated to be biotite-quartz-feldspar gneiss in the vicinity of the property. This was interpreted from one drill hole (water well hole), put down prior to 1966. This was also noted on Map P.0372. The collar of this drill hole is located near the northwest corner, and the outer contact, of the large magnetic anomaly, well away from the negatively magnetic core. The drill went through ~70 feet of overburden and then intercepted bedrock, the same rock types as mentioned earlier. No name was given in Map P.0372 as to who drilled this hole.
Looking at report MP39 (Lake Timiskaming Rift Valley, page 2), it would appear that the Kendrey-Colquhoun property could be located close, if not on, the Cross Lake Fault. If you extend the fault a short distance further to the northwest, this would suggest that the property is potentially associated with the Lake Timiskaming Rift Valley, and not with an extensional fault of the Kapuskasing Fault Structure. The Cross Lake Fault does terminate at the eastern thrust fault of the Kapuskasing Fault Structure (Map 2577).
