  • The drill program targeting the Cadillac shear zone intersected prospective geology with a variable amount of quartz veining, brecciation, silicification, and quartz stockwork, with associated sulphides.

Company President and Chief Executive Officer, Blake Morgan, commented, "The drilling to date has progressed extremely well. It is encouraging to be encountering visible gold during our maiden drill program. Over 2,000 meters of core have now been sent for assay. Phase two of the planned drilling will begin shortly, in addition to a maiden drill campaign on the Arrowhead project. We look forward to the assay results and reporting them to our shareholders."

Bazooka Property

The Bazooka property occurs along one of the most prolific auriferous structures in the world, the Cadillac-Larder Lake break/fault. The Cadillac-Larder Lake break/fault, in part, marks the boundary between the Archean Abitibi subprovince in the north and the predominantly metasedimentary Pontiac subprovince south of the fault.

Gold mineralization on the property occurs within mixed, up to 60-metre-wide (estimated true width), strong quartz-carbonate-sericite and talc-chlorite schists of sedimentary and ultramafic to mafic volcanic protoliths, respectively, and is referred to as the Main zone. The alteration and mineralization are spatially associated with the Cadillac-Larder Lake.

The break/fault zone is at the base and is characterized by up to two-metre-wide (estimated true width), strongly graphitic fault. The graphitic fault generally marks the contact between the sedimentary and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks.

Structures and hydrothermal pathways were interpreted using the co-occurrence of selected exploration criteria in drill hole data. Interpreted prospective panels trend generally east-west with a steep dip to the north. They are constrained within the northern and southern borders of the Cadillac shear zone, a 150-metre-wide corridor of highly carbonate-chlorite-talc altered and schistosed ultramafic units, which form a Z-shape asymmetric drag fold in the area of the Bazooka historic mine.
