These structures are known to be a controlling factor in the localization of mineralization in this geological environment, so this is a significant enhancement to the property.
The first phase of trenching at the newly exposed Deliverance and Moonlight veins structures has been completed.
At the Deliverance zone, in the centre of the property approximately 15 km SW of Jumper's Pond, a 10m wide zone of moderate to intense oxidation was uncovered. Within the 10m zone, there is one major vein system with several parallel minor veins. Where exposed, the main vein varies from 0.10m to 0.25m wide, with crustiform/ginguro to sheeted quartz veining. The vein exhibits intense FeO oxidation and clay alteration, with 5-10% pyrite. The main vein trends at 128-degree and dips at -68-degree SW. A series of chip samples was taken across a 5.4m zone on the top of the outcrop, perpendicular to the main vein, as well as one 4.0m composite sample collected along the strike of the vein. The samples are being analyzed at Eastern Analytical in
At the Moonlight trench, approximately 3 km SE of the Deliverance trench, a series of quartz veins were exposed over an approximately 30m wide zone. Detailed sampling has not been completed yet on this trench due to seasonal restrictions for caribou-calving season.
Additional trenching is now planned for both of these highly prospective zones.
Drill target selection will be based on the results of the recently completed IP survey, with initial drill holes to be located in the Jumper's Pond area. This area is immediately to the south of the northern boundary of the property, and is directly adjacent to Sokoman's Moosehead discovery. The drilling contractor for the upcoming drill program on its

Prior to the 2020 field season, airborne geophysical coverage, with follow-up ground prospecting and sampling, has led to the identification of eight area of highly anomalous to high grade gold mineralization. The gold mineralization is hosted in a variety of environments, including quartz-feldspar porphyries, reduced sandstones, quartz stockworks and quartz veins. The property hosts both widespread low grade mineralization (up to 4.0 g/t Au) within the Botwood Formation and high grade veins (>4.0 g/t Au) in the basement rocks below the
On-going interpretive work on the
Published information on the Moosehead discovery indicates that the mineralization is spatially related to reworking of a major basement structure which is likely the main pathway for the mineralizing fluids. The spatial association of the faulting with mafic intrusives appears to be highly significant. The Moosehead mineralization is hosted by N to NW trending and east dipping faults, which appear to be related to meso-scale anticlinal folding. These types of mineralizing systems typically have great lateral and depth extents (measured in kilometers).
Recent (2019) and historic (2001) geophysical work on the Jumper's Pond area strongly suggests the presence of a large fold structure that plunges to the NE towards Moosehead, as well as several NW-trending structural features. The presence of mafic rocks is also indicated for this area. The major fault structure related to the Mooseheads discovery can clearly be traced by regional magnetics for 5 - 6 km onto the
