The Rowan Lake property lies on the Pipestone Bay-St. Paul's Bay Deformation zone (GSC CR2001-C19), hosts the past producing Rowan Lake Gold Mine, adjoins the past producing Mount Jamie Mine (Hy Lake Gold) to the east and surrounds the past producing Red Crest Mine (Claude Resources). The property, which has been explored only to very shallow depths, is underlain by the same geology and structure as these three past producers and has been subjected to limited underground exploration from a shaft and adit on the property. The property is host to numerous gold occurrences which have seen limited drill testing returning results such as: * Hole RWU53370 - 40.79 grams Au per tonne over 3.39 metres * Hole RW8457 - 14.57 grams Au per tonne over 4.42 metres * Hole RW8459 - 26.51 grams Au per tonne over 2.51 metres * Hole RW8460 - 11.02 grams Au per tonne over 4.22 metres * Hole RW8577 - 39.26 grams Au per tonne over 1.47 metres Potential exists to expand upon these gold mineralized zones both along strike and at depth. The Red Lake greenstone belt is host to some of the richest gold deposits in the world. The Red Lake Camp has produced over 23 million ounces of gold, including approximately 18 million ounces from the Goldcorp Red Lake Gold Mines deposit (source MNDM website).
