Abstract
Gold potential: The properties cover a total area of 16,726 hectares in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt (150 million oz Au) in northwestern Quebec. They are located 15 km east of the Detour Lake mine where partners Detour Gold Corporation and Trade Winds Venture recently announced total gold resources of 5.7 million oz Au (31/01/2007 release by Detour Gold and 27/10/2006 release by Trade Winds). Taking into account the Detour Lake mine's past production of 1.8 million oz Au, the Detour Lake mining camp has a total resource of 7.5 million oz Au. The gold mineralization is associated with the Sunday Lake regional deformation zone, which is similar to the well-known Destor/Porcupine and Cadillac/Larder Lake regional fault zones, along which most of the Abitibi gold deposits occur.
