Location:

​The Edleston Project is located approximately 60km via road to the south of Timmins, Ontario.  Both towns of Kirkland Lake and Timmins are significant former and current producers, with all required services and skilled labour available to support exploration and development of the Project. 

​

The Young-Davidson Mine is located to the east and Cote Lake Deposit to the West.  The Cadillac - Larder Lake Fault zone where the Project is located within has produced ~75Moz of gold.  Within the broader Abitibi Greenstone Belt, a total of 180Moz of gold has been produced since gold was first discovered in the belt in the early 1900’s.  Ontario is world renowned as a mining friendly jurisdiction.

​

Edleston is located within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Archean metavolcanic and metasedimentary assemblages which have been steeply folded with the axes trending in a general east-west direction. These have been intruded mainly by large granitic bodies and by masses of mafic and ultramafic rocks and well as several ages of younger dolerite dykes.  The Abitibi Greenstone Belt extends from north-eastern Ontario and northern Quebec for over 800km.

​

Regionally the Project is located within the western extension of the Cadillac-Larder Fault Zone along which a number of major gold deposits and mines are located.  The occurrence of a Timiskaming conglomerate, similar to that occurring at Kirkland Lake, at several places within the eastern extent of the Project supports this view.

​

The host lithology is an altered and sheared ultramafic that exhibits extensive silicification and contains abundant quartz-carbonate veins, veinlets and fracture fill.  This host unit extends over 10km to the east of the drilled area.

​

Mineralisation is broadly distributed throughout this lithology as pyrite in ranges of 3 to 5% with trace chalcopyrite and occasional visible gold.  Intercalated volcanic and metasedimentary units lie to the north and south of the Edleston mineralised zone.

​

Along strike 1.5km to the east of the drill defined Edleston Zone is the Sirola Zone which exhibits identical geology and mineralisation and contains some of the only exposed outcrops in the region.  Outcrops consist of an altered reddish feldspar porphyry which lies in contact with mineralised ultramafic volcanic.  These formations have a general strike of 100 degrees azimuth with a steep dip and are generally sheared and highly altered by carbonatization and silicification.
