Both MacLellan and Gordon deposits can be considered as belonging to the class of gold deposits referred to as orogenic.

Gold and silver mineralization can be geochemically anomalous to economic at the MacLellan site, Gordon area as well as the Burnt Timber – Linkwood areas of the southern belt. Gold is usually associated with pyrrhotite-pyrite mineralization and often with minor chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and arsenopyrite. Gold mineralization is often associated with narrow quartz and quartz carbonate veins and within semi-massive sulphide lenses 1 to 20 cm thick. Gold is usually very fine grained and is rarely visible and appears to be structurally controlled. The structures, usually quartz veins, are eastwest trending.

At MacLellan and Burnt Timber gold-bearing structures dip steeply to the north and are hosted in mafic flows and sediments. Gold seems to be associated with carbonate and silica alteration.

With respect to MacLellan, the high-strain-zone and accompanying hydrothermal alteration localized to the picrite flows and minor intercalated sediments, coupled with its chemical trapping characteristics created favourable conditions for gold mineralization. Hastie (2014) emphasizes the importance of brittle D4 structures, with supporting evidence for a second hydrothermal fluid event. The first gold-silver mineralizing episode, during ductile D2 shearing and alteration, is characterized by biotite ± quartz ± sulphide alteration an ........

Lynn Lake Gold Project will be built as two conventional open pit mines with a centralized processing plant facility and a tailings management facility. The LLGP is composed of two properties: MacLellan and Gordon. The processing plant, located at MacLellan, has an expected nominal processing throughput of 7,000 t/d.

Located in Northern Manitoba, the LLGP consists of two primary sites, MacLellan and Gordon.

MacLellan Property
Formerly operated as an underground gold and silver mine between 1986 and 1989. The historical MacLellan site has been in a ‘care and maintenance’ phase since 1989 with very little reclamation having taken place. This site currently consists of an all-weather gravel access road, power transmission line (abandoned pole line), and infrastructure from the former underground mine, such as a head frame, hoist house, shaft, access ramp, maintenance and other storage buildings, core shack and racks, vent raise, and mine water settling ponds.

Gordon Property
The Gordon site, historically referred to as the Farley Lake Open Pit Mine, previously operated as a two-pit open pit gold mine from 1996 to 1999. The present day site consists of the above-mentioned gravel access road, a bridge across the Hughes River, two mine rock storage areas and two overburden storage areas that have been capped, and two water-filled open pits. All buildings and infrastructure from the historical operations have been removed.
