Casgrain

The Casgrain property spans more than 18 km of the Massicotte-Grasset deformation break, a gold structure which encompasses many gold intersections with values of 7.7 g/t Au over 7.2m, 4.8 g/t Au over 13.3m and 24.1 g/t Au over 2.5m on the adjacent property to the west. This property also encloses the section of the deformation break known as Lower Detour Lake and its junction with the Massicotte Fault. A historical drill hole intersected 18.3 g/t Au over 1.1m on the eastern sector of the Casgrain property.

A compilation of the till geochemical survey on the entire Detour Lake sector indicated the presence of gold anomalies ranging between 1.0 g/t Au and 3.6 g/t Au. Following the dispersal train towards the south-east, historical drill-hole positions have outlined two distinct bedrock sources. The first sector is located to the south-west and is associated with the Lower Detour Lake deformation zone. The second sector is in the north-west section where the bedrock source likely corresponds to a deformation zone bordering on a felsic intrusion.

This property also presents a high potential for discovery of massive sulphide volcanogenic deposits ("VMS"). Diamond drilling in 1970, defined a felsic centre of over 4.5 km in length. To the top of the felsic centre, exhalative horizons which are highly anomalous in copper and zinc and ranging up to 1.8% Cu, 2.0% Zn and 7.8 g/t Ag over 1.0m, were observed. Isolated Megatem anomalies located to the top of felsic centre have remained un-tested and represent future drilling targets.
