Shouinard Alteration Zone - Scadding Township, East Wahnapitae, Ontario




The Shouinard Alteration zone was discovered in 2010 by Guy Shouinard. The area consists of a significant area of albite alteration and associated areas of euhedral porphyroblastic iron carbonate rhombs. Significant massive bull quartz veining was also noted. Similar euhedral porphyroblastic iron carbonate rhombs were also noted around the Scadding Mine area. A significant amount of quartz boulders were found in the field on surface in the area as well as numerous other pits located nearby. This area requires follow up mapping and sampling to determine its potential.
