3 INTRODUCTION... A UTEM (University of Toronto Electromagnetic) reconnaissance survey was conducted on a number of roads crossing the J W claims, which are located in the Qualicum river valley north west of Horne lake on Vancouver Island, during the period of November 29 to December 6, 1988 for Kingdom Resources Ltd.. The reconnaissance survey was conducted jointly by S.J.V. Consultants Ltd. of Delta, B.C, and Lamontagne Geophysics Ltd. of Toronto, ONT, to search for massive sulphides which may be located near the roads. The UTEM system was employed because of its ability to locate both shallow and deep conductive targets over a wide range of conductivities and its flexibility in survey design. HISTORY... There is no record of previous Geophysical work done in the survey area. A Geological report on the J W 1-10 claims describing the regional and property geology was prepared by David P, Taylor, P.Eng in July 18, 1988.

4 DESCRIPTION OF UTEM SYSTEM...$..,,,'.,......,..,,...,..,.., ~.....,...,...,.,...,..,... <...,,..." UTEM is an acronym for "University of Toronto ElectroMagnetometer". The system was developed by Dr. Y. Lamontagne (1975) while he was a graduate student of that University. The field procedure consist of first laying out a large loop of single strand insulated wire and energizing it with current from a transmitter which is powered by a 2.2 kw motor generator. Survey lines are generally oriented perpendicular to one side of the loop and surveying can be performed both inside and outside the loop. The transmitter loop is energized with a precise triangular current waveform at a carefully controlled frequency ( Hz for this survey). The receiver system includes a sensor coil and backpack portable receiver module which has a digital recording facility on cassette magnetic tape. The time synchronization between transmitter and receiver is achieved through quartz crystal clocks in both units which must be accurate to about one second in 50 years. The receiver sensor coil measures the vertical or horizontal magnetic component of the electromagnetic field and responds to its time derivative. Since the transmitter current waveform is triangular, the receiver coil will sense a perfect square wave in the absence of geologic conductors. Deviations from a perfect square wave are caused by electrical conductors which may be geologic or cultural in origin. The receiver stacks any pre-set number of cycles in order to increase the signal to noise ratio.

5 The UTEM receiver gathers and records 10 channels of data at each station. The higher number channels ( ) correspond to short time or high frequency while the lower number channels (1-2-3) correspond to long time or low frequency. Therefore, poor or weak conductors w i l l respond on channels 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6. Progressively better conductors will give responses on progressively lower number channels as well. For example, massive, highly conducting sulfides or graphite w i l l produce a response on all ten channels. It was mentioned above that the UTEM receiver records data digitally on a cassette. This tape is played back into a computer at the base camp. The computer processes the data and controls the plotting on an 11" x 15" graphics plotter. Data are portrayed on data sections as profiles of each of the first nine channels, one section for each survey line,

6 ...,,.,,,,... FIELD,...,...,,...,... <...,..., WORK..,,... The field crew, consisting of one geophysicist and two helpers, and the UTEM equipment was mobilized from Vancouver on November 29, 1988 and surveying commenced on November 30, The survey was completed on December 4 and the geophysicist and part of the equipment returned to Vancouver on December 5. The helpers picked up the wire from the remaining loops and returned to Vancouver on December 6. Four loops were layed out as shown approximately on the compilation map plate G-1. The vertical component of the electromagnetic field was measured and recorded at each station along the road as indicated on the compilation map. The stations, varying in spacing from measured along the roads by pacing or using 50m to loom, were a topofil. The nearby multitude of large power lines slowed the survey considerably and degraded the quality of the data. Because of the steep terrain it was difficult to place the loops closer to each other therefore shortening the survey lines and increasing the quality of the data. The quality of the data is definitely sufficient to locate any of interest in a reconnaissance type survey. conductors

7 .... DATA PRESENTATION...,..,".,,,...,...,..,,.,,,,..,... The results of the survey are presented on one compilation map and 17 data sections (Appendix 111). The maps are listed as follows: Plate G1 UTEM Compilation Map Scale 1:10,000 A legend for the UTEM data sections is also attached (Appendix 11). In order to reduce the field data, the theoretical primary field of the loop must be computed at each station, The normalization of the data is a follows: a) For Channel 1: % Ch* 1 anomaly =.C,h...~.,..L...-..,.,,. PC X 100 /PT/ Where: PC is the calculated primary field in the direction of the component from the loop at the occupied station Ch.1 is the observed amplitude of PT Channel 1 is the calculated total field

8 b) For remaining channels Cn = 2 to 9) % Ch n anoma 1 Y =..f.,c,h.,f.,.n...-,...,. Ccch..l...l..~.. X 100 Ni where Ch.n is the observed amplitude of Channel n ( 2 to 9) N = Ch.1 for Chl normalized N = PT for primary field normalized i is the data station for continuous normalized (each reading normalized by different primary field) i is the station below the arrow on the data sections for point normalized (each reading normalized by the same primary field) Subtracting channel 1 from the remaining channels eliminates the topographic errors from all the data except ch. 1. If there is a response in channel 1 from a conductor then this value must be added to do a proper conductivity determination from the decay curves. Therefore channel 1 should not be subtracted indiscriminately.

9 INTERPRETATION... are marked The UTEM anomalies, conductors and geological contacts, on the continues normalized (contin. norm.) data sections (APPENDIX 111) and compilation map (Plate GI). The high positive background on all the sections is suspected to be due to the nearby power lines and steep topography.... Loop 1 Road " There is a conductive layer or unit approximately located between 700N and 1400N on road 1 from loop 1. There may be a very weak shallow conductor associated with the southern edge at 700N. A change in conductivity is also noted at approximately 2800N. Loop 1 Road 2... Two shallow very weak conductors likely due to fault zones are located at approximately 1100N and 1375N on road 2 from loop 1. Loop 2 Road 1... One weak conductor located loop 2 on road at approximately 875N from 1 is likely due to a fault zone since it appears to coincide with a change in half space conductivity. An other possible at approximately 1750N. lithology contact is noted Loop 2 Road 3... The slightly conductive zone and possible weak conductor between 300N and 400N from loop 2 on road 3 is very difficult to interpret because the lack of knowledge of the location of the road with respect to the loop. It is suspected that the road is not located as shown on the government map. This road could only be surveyed for a short distance because of the effect from the nearby power lines.

10 ... Loop 2 "... Road... 4 The location of road 4 with respect to loop 2 is not well defined. There appears to be a lithology contact at approximately 800N and possible a weak conductor at 875N along road 4. The partial line surveyed in the bush inside the loop indicates a fairly conductive background. Loop 3 Road 1... The UTEM data indicates that there is a change in lithology at approximately 5200N and 5400N. There is also some suggestion that this may be a moderate strength conductor located at approximately with a depth to top of approximately 100M.... Loop 3 Road "... 5 "... road. Nothing of interest was noticed in the survey of this Loop 4 Road 1... A change in lithology is noticed at approximately 7100N and 7700N on the survey along Road 1 from loop 4. A few readings were taken on the road north east of loop 4 but did not indicate anything of interest and therefore was not plotted.

11 .. RECOMMENDATIONS...,...,"...,..,...,...'...,...,..,,...,.,,... It is recommended that the weak conductor which are likely due to faults or shear zones and contacts, especially those noted from loop 1 and 2, be correlated to local geology, in the field, to determine if further work is required. The location of all the power lines in the area should be known and a better map be compiled to determine where it is feasible to place a grid or additional loops before any future surveying in commenced in the claim area. It is then recommended to put a grid over the areas of interest where possible and detail these using a Max-Min 1 with a short (100M) cable separation. The conductor at 5675N along Road 1 from loop 3 would probably have to be detailed using the UTEM system with a small loop (300m X or smaller) unless the grid lines can be of sufficient length to use a 200m cable separation with the Max-Min 1, It must be remembered that this UTEM survey was a reconnaissance survey designed to test the area near the roads for large conductors and small conductors directly under the roads and does not eliminate the possibility of conductors elsewhere on the claim block or small weak conductors which may couple poorly with the loops employed,

12 ...,. CONCLUSION...,.....,..,..,...,... A number of weak shallow conductors and contact zones were located, mainly in the eastern part of the claim block, on the roads surveyed with the UTEM. One medium strength conductor was located in the central part, on the main road, of the claim block. It is recommended that these conductors be correlated, in the field, to local geology before any further work is done. This UTEM survey was a reconnaissance survey and does not eliminate the possibilities of conductors on the claim block. Syd Visser B.Sc. F.G.A.C. S.J.V. Consultants LTD.
