Prime Meridian Resources Corp. Announces New Red Lake Project and Initial Exploration Plan

  • Increases Size of Bluffy Lake Project in the Red Lake Gold District
  • Bluffy Lake Project Contiguous to Barrick Gold's Newly-Optioned South Uchi Project
  • Airborne Geophysics Phase One Exploration Program

Prime Meridian Resources Corp. (TSXV: PMR) ("PMR'' or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired, through staking, an additional 2,920 hectares east of its Camping Lake Project in the Red Lake District of Northwestern Ontario. The newly-named Bluffy Lake Project is directly contiguous with Barrick Gold Corporation's South Ushi Project and Trillium Gold Mines' Karas Lake property.

Interest in this region continues to grow, as demonstrated by the September 20, 2021 news release that Barrick Gold Corporation has entered into a property option agreement under which ABX can earn a 70-per-cent interest in the South Uchi Project from Kenorland Minerals Ltd. by incurring an aggregate of $6-million in mineral exploration expenditures.

PMR further announces that the Company has retained Simcoe Geoscience Limited to complete high-resolution Triaxial Airborne Magnetic and Helicopter Time Domain EM surveys on its Camping Lake and Bruce Lake Projects. The Camping Lake and Bruce Lake Projects were optioned and acquired by the Company based on their coverage and proximity to the Pakwash Lake Fault Zone (PLFZ) and the Sydney Lake Fault Zone (SLFZ) in the Red Lake District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

The Camping Lake Project covers 7,850 hectares and straddles 8.5 kilometres of the PLFZ and 18.0 kilometres of the SLFZ along the boundary between the volcanic-dominated Uchi subprovince to the north and the metasedimentary-dominated English River subprovince to the south.

The majority of gold deposits in the Red Lake District (Red Lake, Madsen, Hasaga, and others) are located on the northern margin of the Confederation Assemblage, however, recent discoveries such as the LP Fault Zone on the Dixie Project by Great Bear Resources highlight the prospectivity of the entire Confederation Assemblage along the southern margin of the Uchi subprovince. In addition to gold prospectivity, the area also holds potential for lithium-bearing pegmatite intrusions.

Airborne Geophysical Survey

The entirety of the Bruce Lake and Camping Lake Projects will be subjected to an airborne magnetic survey, while the D-Nut Tail Zone of the Camping Lake Project will be additionally covered by an HTDEM survey (Figure 2).

The northern claims of the Camping Lake Project (D-Nut Tail Zone) cover the interpreted extent of the PLFZ extending east from the so-called "D-Nut'' feature of GBR's Pakwash Property. The D-Nut comprises a circular magnetic anomaly coincident with gold lake sediment anomalies and gold-in soil anomalies, which have been subject to minimal historical exploration.

The southern segment of the Camping Lake Project straddles the interpreted extent of the SLFZ, extending from the eastern boundary of Trillium Gold Mines' Leo Property, to the western boundary of TGM's Karas Lake Property:

The Bruce Lake Project covers an area directly to the north of the PLFZ, and is transected roughly north-south by the Keelson Fault, which intersects the PLFZ. This fault zone has been targeted by historical drilling which intersected pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite at depth. The airborne magnetic survey carried out over this property will be used to more clearly define the structural targets in this area. (1)

Deep Fault Interpretation

The source of gold mineralization at the main mine trend at Red Lake and the LP Zone of Great Bear Resources' Dixie Project are believed to be related to a similar deep crustal source. A 2006 geophysical survey suggests that the same structure associated with GBR's LP Zone is associated with the Pakwash Lake Fault Zone (PLFZ) and Sydney Lake Fault Zone (SLFZ), which underlie a large extent of Prime Meridian's newly-expanded land position (Figure 3).

A 3D seismic traveltime tomography cross-sectional interpretation from Zeng and Calvert (2006) identifies two major crustal-scale structures underlying the Red Lake district. One structure is associated with the main mine trend at Red Lake (right, north along cross-section), while the second structure is believed to be associated with the LP Fault Zone of Great Bear Resources' Dixie Project (left, south along cross-section).

Danielle DiMartino Booth: Trump, Powell and US Recession Reality — Where to Focus Now

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and chief strategist at QI Research, shared her thoughts on the US economy, shedding light on the US Federal Reserve's interest rate path.

Weighing in on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's November 14 comments, she said he remains steadfast in his message that while inflation is coming down to the Fed's 2 percent target, there's a bumpy path ahead that will require patience.

"I think the idea here is not so much to hang onto every single word he's saying about the economy, but rather to understand that he's retaining flexibility and does not want to be pigeonholed into saying, 'Okay, there was one report that came out and therefore we're going to do this.' I don't think that's his aim," DiMartino Booth explained.

Doug Casey: Gold to Go Much Higher; "Very Bullish" on Uranium, Oil/Gas, Coal Stocks

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Doug Casey of InternationalMan.com and the podcast Doug Casey's Take outlined his thoughts on the future of the US as Donald Trump gears up for his second presidential term.

He also discussed what he is — and isn't — doing with his money right now.

"Stay out of stocks, with a few exceptions here and there — there are always exceptions. Stay out of all bonds, frankly. They’re a triple threat to your capital," Casey said during the interview. "I still like commodities — commodities relative to everything else are cheap. And gold isn’t particularly cheap, but it’s going a lot higher."
