The Motherlode Project:
The Motherlode Project is comprised of 12,350 hectares on Newfoundland's south coast. Access and logistical infrastructure are excellent, with year-round road access, high-power electrical lines running through the project, nearby Atlantic Ocean ports, and an active nearby industrial fluorite mine. The project represents district-scale potential within an estimated 16.5-kilometre-long exploration trend hosting 11 historical mineral occurrences, including 8 gold showings. Historical high-grade results* include:
- Gold rock grab samples: 25.0 g/t Au, 15.7 g/t Au, 11.6 g/t Au, 6.3 g/t Au & 4.5 g/t Au;
- Trench/Channel Results: 0.5m of 4.5 g/t Au, 1.5m of 10.1 g/t Au, 6.2m of 3.6 g/t Au (incl. 0.9m of 7.7 g/t Au); and
- 2007 Diamond Drill Results (8 holes, 902m): 0.7m of 3.2 g/t Au, 10.4m of 0.82 g/t Au, 1.5m of 2.8 g/t Au
For reference: g/t = grams per tonne, Au = gold, m = metres
The Company's technical staff are currently conducting a detailed compilation and review of historical property data and have applied for permits to conduct a property-wide heliborne high sensitivity magnetics-radiometrics geophysical survey, planned for late September. The purpose of the magnetics-radiometrics geophysical survey is to identify and prioritize anomalous magnetic features within the property. Following receipt of the heliborne geophysical data, initial groundwork including prospecting, mapping and sampling will be conducted over selected geophysical and geochemical anomalies.
