The ore deposits and mineralized occurrences on the various claim blocks of the Property share many characteristics with the following deposit types: orogenic gold (e.g., Fenelon deposit, Bug Lake, Martiniere West and Grasset Gold), intrusion-related gold (e.g., Fenelon deposit) and volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposits (e.g., Martiniere East).
Fenelon Block
The Fenelon Block is almost entirely covered by overburden, with depths ranging from 5 m to over 117 m (20 to 35 m on average). The block covers approximately 14 km of the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone (SLDZ).
The area of the Fenelon deposit is located within 2 km north of the SLDZ and is also covered with approximately 20-30 m of glacial overburden. The area is mainly underlain by a turbiditic sedimentary basin and the eastern margin of the Jérémie Pluton.
The Fenelon deposit comprises four gold-bearing domains: the Gabbro Zones in the gabbro sill complex, the Tabasco and Cayenne and Contact zones in sedimentary rocks, the Area 51 Zone in the Jérémie Diorite and adjacent sedimentary rocks, and the RipleyReaper zones in the southern extension of the Jérémie Diorite along the northern contact of the SLDZ.
Gabbro Zone
The Gabbro Zones consist of seven (7) mineralized zones from northeast to southwest: Trinidad Scorpion, Fresno, Chipotle, Anaheim, Cayenne 3, Habanero and Serrano.
Two different types of mineralization are distinguished: 1) massive, lami ........
