Figure 6 presents the results of the preliminary evaluation which is focused on the major faults and related shears that

are apparent in the LIDAR data. On the north side of the drawing, the Wanipigow fault is obvious with a wide zone of

intense shearing. The Wanipigow Fault marks the boundary between the Uchi volcanic-plutonic terrain and the

Wanipigow(Manitoba)-Berens River(Ontario) metamorphic plutonic terrain. The Wanipigow Fault extends to the east

through the Red Lake Area of Ontario..........................

The Normandy fault and the other shear zones all appear to be splays off of the Wanipigow, which, from east to west,

splay off from the south side of the Wanipigow Fault, initially trending to the southwest and then gradually swinging to

a west to west northwest strike direction. Beyond the west boundary of the map area some of the shears veer back up

and rejoin the south side of the Wanipigow Fault.

From the Author’s experience in the area it was also apparent that these LIDAR shears have the same orientations as

shears that cross the SAM unit and are structurally related to the shear-type and tensional-type gold bearing quartz veins

in the RLM..... Luana and Vanson Mines
