MORRISETTE CREEK PROPERTY

The Morrisette Creek property near Kirkland Lake consists of 29 claims totaling 470 hectares. The property covers the prospective Blake River/Kinojevis Group contact. Hydrothermal alteration indicative of gold mineralization (carbonatization, silicification, sericitization) is common. Altered quartz feldspar porphyries contain 2% to 8% pyrite and consistently carry anomalous gold values (up to 300 parts per billion). Two prospective areas were delineated along projections of: (i) the Victoria Creek Structure Morrisette Creek Fault, which is covered by thick overburden on Morrisette Creek (limited drilling here encountered intensively carbonatized and sericitized rock) and (ii) the Kirana Break (parallel to the Kirkland Lake break).

Gold Targets
In recognition of the potential for economic mineralization along the eastern projection of the Kirana Break, geophysical (induced polarization) and geochemical soil (soil gas and enzyme leach) surveys over the southwest part of the claim group, most of which is covered by overburden, were completed. Soil-gas and enzyme-leach anomalies, which are coincident with IP and VLF-EM anomalies and magnetic lows, identify highly prospective drill targets. The previously referenced shallow hole drilled adjacent to the eastern projection of the Kirana Break (M87-1) lies on the flank of the most prospective drill target.
