CRIPPLEBACK LAKE GOLD PROJECT- CORRIDOR OF GOLD, CENTRAL NEWFOUNDLAND
The Crippleback Lake Gold Project covers the northeastern extension of the regional scale Cape Ray /Valentine Lake fault/Shear zone and is situated in the same geological units that host high grade gold mineralization at Marathon’s Gold’s Valentine Lake gold deposit which is anticipated to be Atlantic Canada’s largest gold mining operation. The Project is situated in the gold prolific and rapidly emerging Corridor of Gold in the central Newfoundland Gold Belt, and is ideally situated on trend between Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake gold deposit, and with Sokoman’s flagship Moosehead High-Grade Gold discovery which is now in the midst of a 50,000-metre (Phase 6) drill program. The Crippleback Lake Gold Project is located near the Trans-Canada highway near Grand Falls, situated in north-central Newfoundland, is easily accessible by a network of secondary logging roads and is only a short drive from assaying and diamond drilling services in Springdale, Newfoundland. The Project has easy access to full infrastructure and a skilled workforce.
TRANS CANADA GOLD PROJECT– THE DINORWIC GOLD PROPERTY
The Trans-Canada Gold Property consists of 741 non-surveyed contiguous mineral cell claims totaling 14,880 hectares located within the Kenora Mining Division of Ontario. The property is located within the Wabigoon Greenstone Belt, which also contains the Thunder Lake Gold deposit and the Goldlund Gold Deposit. The property contains a number of large shear zones containing quartz carbonate veins, pyrite and arsenopyrite, underlain by mafic volcanics with felsic volcanics in the south. There is a large regional scale iron carbonate alteration within the property, which is considered to be similar to that of the Red Lake Mining Camp. The regional scale carbonate alteration within the property associated with shear zones within iron-tholeiite are prime targets for gold exploration. The property has excellent access, with the Trans-Canada highway bisecting multiple high priority targets in a north-south direction, as well as close proximity to the large community of Dryden, Ontario. The property has access to first class infrastructure, with close proximity to a number of rail corridors and power lines. A number of gold exploration targets have been identified within the property based on their association with regional alteration, known gold showings, shear zones, complex patterns and offsets in the regional magnetic map as well as spatial association with regional structures that has the potential to be well endowed with gold mineralization.
