Extract from MINFILE Occurrences: 092P 043, 092P 076, 092P 141:
Development status: Prospect
Name: GOLDEN LOON PLATINUM, CLEARWATER PLATINUM, GOLDEN LOON 7, GL-7, GOLDEN LOON HIGH GRADE ZONE, GL-1, GOLDEN LOON 1
The Golden Loon Platinum or Clearwater Platinum occurrence is located 2.5 kilometres west of Little Fort. Good-quality logging and bush roads provide access to the property.
The Golden Loon High Grade Zone, also called the Golden Loon 1 or GL-1 deposit, is located 900 metres south of Dum Lake and 6 (air) kilometres west of Little Fort. Good quality logging and bush roads provide access to the property.
The Golden Loon 7 (GL-7) occurrence is located 2.5 kilometres west of Little Fort. Good quality logging and bush roads provide access to the property.
A "football-sized" sample of highly oxidized ultramafic material cut by chromite stringers yielded an analysis of 13,798 ppb platinum, 25 ppb palladium and 23 ppb gold (sample 165509, Assessment Report 16100) at the location called the Clearwater Platinum Occurrence (Fieldwork 2000, page 22, figure 4). A second highly anomalous sample of dark peridotite with chromite veins (sample 165502), from about 1 kilometre to the north, yielded 483 ppb platinum, 10 ppb palladium and 2 ppb gold. These two samples were from a group of 150 samples collected in 1999 (Assessment report 16100) of ultramafic rocks from the Dum Lake Intrusive Complex.
Hostrocks are ultramafic intrusive rocks of the Triassic to Jurassic Dum Lake Intrusive Complex which consists of a mafic portion composed of diorite, gabbro, microdiorite and intrusion breccia, and an ultramafic portion composed of dunite, wehrlite, pyroxenite and serpentine.
