Spruce Ridge Completes Airborne Survey over "Foggy Pond" Gold Property

(TheNewswire)

Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd

The newly acquired claims cover a large, previously unexplored area underlain by Lower Paleozoic siliciclastic rocks, similar to those hosting recently discovered gold deposits on the Queensway Project of New Found Gold Corp. and the Moosehead Project of Sokoman Minerals Corp. Re-interpretation of province-wide airborne magnetic data has indicated previously undocumented structural complexity, including a regional-scale fold and possible crustal-scale fault structures like the structures that are now known to localize gold mineralization in Central Newfoundland. The fold feature may cause the mineralized horizon containing the Great Burnt copper deposit and the South Pond gold and copper-gold zones to be repeated on a western limb. Local magnetic anomalies have been interpreted as possible ophiolite slivers along a northeast-trending structure that may be like the GRUB line crossing New Found Gold's property.
