Abstract

The following are conclusions based on the recent aeromagnetic interpration and prospecting, as well as from past work: 1.) Interpretations of the aeromagnetic data suggests three categories of faults from three distinct stages of deformation: D1; Narrow SW-NE trending shear zones, folded by F2 folds. D2; A single NE-trending shear zone that truncates an F2 fold in the western part of the property. D3 brittle faults that form a conjugate set of NW-SE trending dextral and NE-SW trending sinistral faults. 2.) In western part of the property, an area of structural complexity has been identified, considered to have high potential for enhanced permeability, and thus represents a prime target for exploration. 3.) Areas of significant magnetite destruction are interpreted to occur in ultramafic units located in the western portion of the property. These areas are considered to have increased potential for local gold enrichment. 4.) The 19 anomalous prospecting samples from 2014 confirm presence of auriferous rocks on the property, particularly in the central area proximal to the interpreted contact between mafic volcanic and ultramafic units. 5.) The Ruby Hill West property has the potential to host numerous types of mineralization. The geological environment, favorable aeromagnetic signatures, and the proximity to the Eastmain Mine makes this an interesting property that is, as of now, underexplored.
