Canada - Big Bear Gold Project
· Three-week work sampling and mapping programme to build our understanding of possible drill and trench targets is commencing on 10 May.
· Work will target both orogenic gold and volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") style mineralisation, including;
o Verification and extension of a possible gold hosting vein system indicated by Panther soil sampling in the eastern part of the Big Bear property.
o Extending historic sampling in the Johnston-McKenna area where previous high grade outcrop samples have yielded 1,038.9 g/t Au, 390.2 g/t Au, 318.9 g/t Au, 286.29 g/t Au and 224.9 g/t Au.
o Building on historic sampling in the Joa-Walton area where the highest grade outcrops yielded 233.1 g/t Au, 198.9 g/t Au, 143.7 g/t Au, 79.5 g/t Au and 46.6 g/t Au.
o Delineating possible structural related extensions to mineralisation at the Little Bear Mine where a 1 ton bulk sample processed in the late 1930's reported equivalent gold grade of 1,564 g/tonne Au.
· Work will be undertaken by Ontario resident geological contractors who are responsible for operating within the current provincial framework of advice and regulation pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic.
