GRENVILLE ( sudbury ) + WANAPITEI FAULTS
Found something rather interesting - a papaer writing about the Grenville fault south of Sudbury.
The most interesting thing about this papaer describes in a visual picture how the Grenville fault runs right into a Wanapatei fault.
This is a different fault than spoken of, my other post was speaking about a potnetial
Northern fault associated to, the Matachewan swarms.
This faults ( Grenville ) is south of Sudbury, but also pushes nortrh east into - Wanapatei
PAGE 2 - clearly shows - Wanapatei Fault Line.

Secondly...
I decided to do a quick search on the Sudbury terrain, just ot see if i could spot the
Grenville fault and follow it towards Wanapitei just ot see what it looks like...
Glad i did... now if the geology and terrain of thr land can reveal separations of land,
chancdes are, a fault created the rift.
Now.. sometimes watersheds can just mean - it's a watershed whereas water cut a path
and allowed water to flow... but sometimes,,, a fault will carve the land and water will fill this gap
and run a course - river etc...
Here'a a google map of Sudbury...
Xoom out and look pinpoint Wanapatei Lake and follow its water shed path - longest path -
My eyes see a very distinct water shed path leading all the way down past Sudbury ( south )
Now refer to the PDF link above ( Grenville fault ) and ( Wanapatei fault )
If i didn't know any better i'd say... this water path is that same Grenville fault - which bleeds
into the Wanapatei fault.
One could assume - and take it the next step... and retrace the path from, Sudbury,
asnd then as one approaches Wanapatei Lake,,,, it branches into Wanapatei and also,
forks off the the east towards, Jovan,
Very interesting... which could mena... Mac Donalds claims could have two potential
fauls on thie claims..

Done researching for now.. .lol
After all, what else is there to do during this cv shutdown... ugh...
Time to get the economy back up and running.
Stateside, and around the world... lots is reopening.
Ontario + Quebec... ugh.
