ROMA PROJECT
The Roma project consists 7,683 ha in the northern section of the High Lake Greenstone Belt. These claims cover high grade gold showings discovered by previous explorers, notably BHP Minerals from 1988 to 1994.
Multiple significant gold showings are present within a 6.5 km x 2.4 km area on the historic Roma claim block. The original showing is a 0.30 to 3.0 m wide quartz vein exposed in outcrop and boulders for 2.0 km. In 1991, BHP drilled 10 shallow holes totalling 465 metres to test 1.72 km of strike of the vein. All drill holes intersected quartz veins from 15 m to 37 m vertically below surface. Visible gold was noted in three of the drillholes and the best results were 12.38 g/t Au over 2.31 m (including 64.0 g/t Au over 0.37 m) from DDH MD-01 and 8.69 g/t Au over 1.87 m from MD-03. No drilling was conducted downdip of the high-grade intersection in DDH MD-01 and no step out drilling to the north from this intercept was conducted. No follow up drilling is known to have been completed on this property since BHP’s initial drill program in the 1990’s.
Additional discoveries on Roma were made in 1993 approximately 4 km southwest of the original quartz vein in a structurally complex area with polyphase deformation. Twelve showings were found in a 1.6 km x 0.55 km area on the east limb of an anticlinal fold structure adjacent to the Kennarctic Shear Zone. Gold values up to 5.6 g/t Au were reported from a 1.0 to 2.5 m wide, north trending quartz-ankerite vein traceable for 350 m. Several additional showings are present between the zones mentioned above and the highest-grade sample assayed 5.52 g/t Au. All of these gold showings in the anticline remain undrilled. Other gold showings with gold grades up to 6.1 g/t Au are found between the anticline hosted mineralization and the original Roma vein.
Recent acquisition – 100% ownership in 7,700 ha (+ 4,000 ha MEA application in process)
Project covers +30km of very prospective/underexplored Belt
Numerous high-grade gold showings discovered by BHP in the 1990’s, little to no follow-up work since that time
Project has multiple significant gold showings within a 6.5 km by 2.4 km area, including several drill ready targets
Geologic setting and style of gold mineralization is similar to that found at the Ulu Project, where the high-grade Flood Zone exists
Small historical drill program outlined extensive gold bearing quartz vein system; 12.38 g/t Au over 2.31 m drill intercept open
Proposed 2021 program: Detailed geophysics for targeting Roma Main and Roma Fold with select regional to detailed geochemical surveys and prospecting
Potential for a significant discovery (2022) once targeting is refined
