RE: RE: Newcastle options property patents in WestI know the area very well and this was the last, large piece of highly prospective rocks - in the key volcanic sequence, available. There are known occurrences of gold mineralization immediately adjacent the property, which is largely overburden covered, and the property lies along the Bristol fault extension. The Bristol fault is a key structural component to the development of the Timmins West mine that Lake Shore owns. Explorer resources project (now a $1.00 stock although likely over priced based on results to date) lies along the same structure to the east of LSG.
The property is approx. 3.0 kilometres north of the Destor Porcupine fault. Would be surprised if Lake Shore does not come knocking at their door as some point as they look to continue to consolidate the West Timmins camp.
