Location: 2 km North of Long Lac, Ontario Size: 2,480 ha (155 units, 16 claims) Target Minerals: Gold
Highlights
Historical exploration on the Property not conducted below a 350 m vertical depth, while mining at the adjacent former Upper Canada Mine was conducted to a depth of 1.8 km.
Property hosts a gold zone in a shear along a syenite porphyry-sediment contact with a reported gold grades up to 0.21 ozs gold per ton.
Property within the Kirkland Lake-larder Lake Gold camp (37 million ounces of gold), one of the most prolific gold camps in North America.
Past producer in proximity
MacLeod Cockshutt-1,366,404 oz @ 0.15 oz/t
The Geraldton Gold Camp itself has historically produced over 2.9 million oz of gold between 1934 and 1968.
Significant neighbors
The Brinklow Property is located within the eastern end of the Beardmore-Geraldton-Long Lac Greenstone Belt 25 km east of Geraldton.
Property Geology
The Brinklow Property covers a second order fault splay off of the regional scale Tombill-Bankfield fault, the main fault structure about which the bulk of the historical 17 million oz gold production was produced.
Historical Highlights
Historical work on the Brinklow Property has yielded 9.05 g/t over 1.5 m. In 1986, a 500 m airborne EM anomaly was identified with coincident surface VLF and gold geochemical anomalies. Small pits and surface grab samples by prospectors returned several high grade gold values of up to 82 g/t. Soil geochemical anomalies have been as high as 880 ppb gold. Only two historical drill holes have tested two surface VLF anomalies with one drill hole intersecting a 7m section of semi-massive to massive pyrhotite with quartz veining. Within this section a 9 g/t gold assay over 1.5 m was obtained.
Work Completed to Date
A 2008 overburden stripping program by Golden Chalice has produced 1.3 g/t over 4 m. Ground geophysics and soil geochemical surveys have been completed on the property.
Recent Highlights
Due to the flat overburden covered terrain a 1200 sample soil survey has since been completed. A number of anomalous gold trends were defined by the soil survey with the two highest gold-in-soil results occurring 100 m northeast of the 2008 trenching work.
