Intensive exploration work is expected to be carried out this summer and fall. No large scale strikes have been made but the companies are hopeful that they will be able to find gold deposits large enough to justify a commer- cial mine. Micham Explorations Inc. of Toronto and Highmark Resources / Macmillan Energy Ltd. are two of the most active companies. They have purchased many claims in the area which were originally stakes by local residents ... Combined with the explora- tion work now underway on the old Zenmac claims around Winston Lake, they make the Terrace Bay / Schreiber area one of the most active mineral exploration sites in the country.

Aurel Gauthier, Engi- neer Larry Davis, Fire Chief Pete Doig, Roads Superintendent Ron Harris and Assistant Clerk Rona Godin also attended the meeting. Mr. Y. Carrier spoke Three more holes : Lake deposit some three drilled by Corporation zinc, 36.3 g (1.1 oz.) silver per tonne and 0.60 Falconbridge Copper at the company's Winston Lake copper-zinc pro- ject in Northwestern On- tario have returned good results which the com- pany says are confirm- ing continuity of miner- alization on the proper- ty, held under option from Zenmac Explora- tions. Falconbridge about a month ago in a prelimi- nary tonnage evalua- tion gave the Winston million tons, grading 13.5% zinc and 1% cop- per. M.J. Knuckey, Fal- conbridge vice-presi- dent, exploration says the latest three holes, all fill-in holes, intersect- ed the mineralization at vertical depths of 475 m, 485 m and 440 m re- spectively. Hole No. ZO-24 cut 21.9 m, assaying 0.95'2 copper and 9.84% zinc, including 9.1 m of 1.52% copper, 20.37% 0.95 (0.028 oz.) gold per tonne. Hole ZO-35 cut 12.88 m assaying 0.79% cop- per, and 6.34% zinc, in- cluding 6.88 m of 0.92% copper, 11.64% zinc, 20.7 g (0.06 oz.) silver per tonne, and 0.55 g. (0.016 oz.) gold per tonne. Hole ZO-36 cut 11.60 m assaying 1.06% cop- per and 13.92% zinc, including 7.70 m_ of 1.36% copper, 20.59% g (0.018 oz.) gold per tonne. Mr. Knuckey com- ments to The Northern Miner that a "'little more variability" is indicated in these results, than in the original wide-spaced drilling on the property. Two other holes drill- ed in an attempt to ex- pand the mineralized zone did not intersect economic values, he said. Drilling is continu- ing, with four machines. with the Council about his plans to covert the old Schreiber Hotel into "an apartment dwelling unit." Members of the Coun- cil said that any concern they would have about the project would cen- tre on the need for adequate parking, one space for each apart- ment unit will be requir- ed, and a change in the current zoning for the building. The proposal was referred to the Pro- perty Committee for fur- ther consideration. The Minutes. of the previous regular meet- ing held on March 8 were adopted on a Mo- tion by Councillor Larry Dunwoody, seconded by Councillor Ed Borutski. The Municipal Advi- sory Committee's Eco- nomic Development Seminar in Thunder Bay -has been postponed. The meeting was ori- ginally scheduled to take place on April 8th and 9th. The Council decid- ed that the re-scheduled seminar should be at- tended and instructed the Clerk to make new reservations. The Property Commit- tee reported that one and one half lots of the Town's property on Quebec Street (the old Arena site) has been sold. An autoglass re- pair shop, a supply es- tablishment, and a dry- cleaning depot will be built on the site.
