Newrange Gold Corp. (" Newrange " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that line cutting has commenced on its North Birch Project east of Red Lake, Ontario. An Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey comprising approximately 90 line kilometres will follow within about 10-14 days and the results will be used to generate targets for follow up diamond drilling
The primary target at North Birch is the sheared limb of a folded iron formation sequence, modeled after the Musselwhite Gold Mine, approximately 190 kilometres to the north and operated by Newmont-Goldcorp. The 8 kilometre long target horizon at North Birch is recessive and not exposed at surface but is interpreted from a prominent fold pattern in the airborne magnetics (see map here ). The target horizon projects 2 kilometres along strike to the southeast into the Argosy Gold Mine, which closed in 1952 after producing 101,875 oz Au at 12.7 g/t Au (Ontario government archives ). There are also multiple gold showings in the rocks to the south of the main target horizon and in iron formation elsewhere on the North Birch property, yet the main target horizon has never been drilled.
"We are looking forward to receiving the results of the IP survey at North Birch," stated Robert Archer, Newrange's CEO. "We are confident that it will identify zones of sulphide enrichment along the main target horizon that may be related to gold mineralization. As soon as we have sufficient information to generate drill targets, we will be applying for the appropriate permits and anticipate that we could be drilling by April."
