Figure 1: Spruce Ridge Resources Great Burnt Lake Property with Highlighting of Newly Acquired Claims.
Preliminary results from the high-resolution magnetic survey confirm the presence of geologic features that appear to be folds intersected by faults in an area of complex geology that does not match the published geology maps. The new survey (Figure 2a) is compared to the regional magnetic data available from the Newfoundland Government (Figure 2b).
John Ryan, CEO of Spruce Ridge Resources stated "This area of Newfoundland has seen little or no historic exploration. Farther east New Found Gold has discovered high-grade gold. To the north is a series of base metal deposits including the historic Buchans mining district and Tally Pond deposit. Directly to our east is the recently staked Pipestone Nickel Property, which completes our 26,640-hectare claim holdings in Newfoundland. Our next step will be ground follow-up with prospecting, mapping, and sampling of the numerous targets we have identified. Work to commence in Q2 of 2022."
