TRUDEAU PROJECT

Prospecting near beaver pond in Trudeau claim area

Prime Location.

An early-stage exploration project located approximately 35 km NW of the city of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada.

Exceptional Mining Camp.

Located in the center of Noranda Camp, a world class district of volcanogenic sulfide deposits rich in Cu, Zn and Au. The Noranda Volcanic Complex is located within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, the largest and best endowed Archean greenstone belt in the Canadian Shield.

Well-studied Area.

Historically explored for Au and VMS, with recorded mineral showings on Quebec MERN Database.

Encouraging Sampling Results.

Drilling and sampling programs in the three contiguous properties returned encouraging grades including up to 3.0g/t Au in core intercepts at Fabie, 1.7 g/t Au over 1.2-4.3m intercept at Trudeau and 8.9 g/t Au in rock chip samples at Eastchester.

MINERALIZATION

Two potential deposit types occur in the Fabie-Trudeau-Eastchester polymetallic project. The first, volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits typically occur as lenses of polymetallic massive sulfides that form at or near the seafloor in submarine volcanic environments, and are classified according to base metal content, gold content, or host-rock lithology. The second, orogenic greenstone-hosted gold deposits are typically found worldwide along shear zones in volcanic terranes and are characterized by quartz and quartz carbonate veins and sheeted veins primarily in dilatational zones where fluid permeability was higher compared to the surrounding rocks at the time of formation.

Two types of mineralization were encountered in the Fabie claim group: gold mineralization at the Fabie Nord showing and disseminated sulfides in rhyolite and andesitic rock in the southern part of the claim group. The sulfide mineralization found to date on the Trudeau claim group occur entirely as disseminated sulfides, similar to much of the copper-zinc sulfide mineralization in the nearby Magusi River deposit approximately 3.5 kilometers west of the claim group. The structures in the Eastchester claim group are inferred to be splays from the main break Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone and may resemble other fault/shear systems.
