Could it be?
Garland: if you Google (Golden Dawn Minerals Catharine Township magnetic maps), you will get a good coloured magnetic map showing the isolated magnetic anomaly east of Target D. I'll call it Target Link for easy referencing. There is also a coloured VLF-EM map as well. My take of the magnetic anomaly is this:
a) it is a horseshoe-shaped anomaly oriented NNE.
b) it is about 200m wide at its base. The west branch of the horseshoe is about 50m wide and about 150m long.
c) the east branch is about 100m long, and then extends into the neighbouring property. How far, I don't know. My guess is not very far.
d) the neighbouring property is held by Canadian Gold Miner/Transition Metals.
e) the magnetic response appears to be a body that is dipolar, plunging steeply to the NNE and steeply dipping to the ESE.
f) is this a tightly folded gabbroic body?
g) the dark blue colour to the north and south are due to residual effects from the strong magnetic response.
h) the moderate blue colour surrounding Target Link could be related to a higher exposure to quartz?? Certainly a rather non-magnetic source.
i) looking at the VLF-EM, you'll note that there is a NS anomaly running through Target Link. However, coincident with Target Link, the intensity of the electromagnetic response is lower than the remaining trend. What's this due to? Maybe more quartz, fuschite, alteration rocks???
j) from what I can see of the area surrounding Target Link, it is totally covered with overburden, so no chance to see any of the underlying rocks. Nearby of course, there is the diorite/gabbro NS bands.
Anyway, the area is proving to be quite interesting and will look forward to further news.
