Hy Lake Gold Completes Complex Structural Study of West Red Lake Area
Toronto, Ontario CANADA, September 16, 2010 /FSC/ - Hy Lake Gold Inc. (HYL - CNSX, HYK - FWB),is pleased to announce that it has completed a complex structural study of Hy Lake Gold's Red Lake operational area.
The study was commissioned by Hy Lake Gold and was conducted by Vadim Galkin, Ph.D., Dr.Sc., P.Geo. Entitled "Complex Structural Study of the West Red Lake Area, Northwest Ontario, Canada", the study covers all of Hy Lake's Red Lake properties including the Mount Jamie, Rowan Lake and Red Summit mine properties. A comprehensive Method of Complex Structural Analysis (CSA) report consequentially applies and synthesizes the results of the following techniques:
- delineation, density and directional analysis of hierarchic linear structures using high resolution aerial and satellite data results in contour density and orientation maps of main, secondary, tertiary and circular structures and their intersections
- analogue modeling (in elastic and plastic field) of the major structural frame mechanical response to the different deformational conditions. Maps of plastic and brittle deformation intensity, dilation zones and spatial distribution are obtained
- analyzing and synthesizing the resulted maps with geological/geophysical/geochemical data and Target Map generation for further ground exploration and drilling
The areas on the property where high density of linear structures, high deformation/dilation, favorable geological and geophysical features (e.g. proximity of the regional unconformity or high conductivity zones), recorded gold mineralization/occurrences and other similar favorable features come together are considered as Primary Targets for further exploration activities. As a result of our analysis, several Primary Target areas have been delineated on Hy Lake's Red Lake properties. Among them are two areas at approximately 1 km to the SE and NE of the Rowan Lake Mine; two areas close to the northern and southern limits of the property at the Mount Jamie Mine longitude; the area located immediately to the south of the east end of Pipestone Bay and a zone at approximately 1 km to the south of Red Summit Mine.
The study also revealed the existence of a strong set of east-west trending linear structures, which in the Rowan Lake area are supplemented by an east-north-east trending set of structures. Both sets coincide directionally with the Rowan Main Zones gold-bearing veins and provide several additional promising zones for further investigation. Prospecting and sampling of some of these highly prospective zones, as well as of other Primary Target areas, is planned for October 2010.
It is well established in the Red Lake region that the intersections of certain linear structures may play a determinant role in gold mineralization. One such zone was discovered on the Newman-Todd property south of the Rowan Lake property. The northeast trending Newman-Todd Structural Zone hosts high-grade gold zones over a two kilometer strike to a depth of over 300 m. The highest gold values occur close to the intersections of main structural zone with the secondary (second order) northwest trending structures. The Complex Structural Study conducted by Dr. Galkin has outlined two similar intersection zones on the Rowan property. Hy Lake's recent drilling at Rowan Lake (see news release dated August 10, 2010) tested the northeast trending gold system from Newman-Todd on to the Rowan Lake property with primary targeting consideration given to the main/secondary structures intersections.
Hy Lake Gold is currently incorporating the conclusions of the CSA into a comprehensive structural model of the West Red Lake area for use in targeting and planning of its next phase of exploration. The complete Complex Structural Study can be read on, or downloaded from, the Hy Lake website.
