HIGHLIGHTS

  • 255 claims (132 km2) 100%-held by Harfang (33F02 and 33F03); no NSR;
  • Two claim blocks located 85 km southeast of Radisson and 10 km east of the James Bay Road; the eastern limit of the property is next to the Sakami Gold Project (Canada Strategic Metals/Matamec Exploration); 2 powerlines run through the southern block;
  • Accessible by air (helicopter or floatplane) and by boat from lake Sakami;
  • Located in the La Grande Subprovince (Superior Province); mainly foliated to gneissic intermediate to felsic intrusive rocks (Duncan Suite and/or Langelier Complex) with narrow dismembered volcano-sedimentary sequences and an elongated ultramafic intrusion (sill?) extending for at least 20 km; nearly no historical exploration work in the area;
  • Many gold and/or copper showings discovered during a brief prospecting phase by Harfang in 2017; mineralization is hosted in quartz and sulfide veins cutting across foliated to gneissic tonalite; 6 grab samples (out of 133) above 0.5 g/t Au including 1.77, 2.60 and 4.11 g/t; 6 samples above 0.5% Cu (up to 2.11%);
  • Structural data (foliation and shear zones) and regional magnetic map suggest lithologies in the southern claim block are affected by an E-W deformation corridor that may have controlled the mineralization distribution.

upcoming exploration program

  • Prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling to define the extent of each lithological unit and to better understand the deformation and mineralization characteristics.
