Regional Geology

The main geological feature in the region is a northeast trending metamorphosed 2.5 to 4.0 billion year old series of volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Abitibi greenstone belt. These volcanic belts have been intruded by granites. Most of the gold occurrences in the Abitibi, including those on the Leckie property, are hosted in fractured metamorphosed volcanic rocks.

Property Geology

Two principal gold zones are present on the property. The No. 1 zone is a steeply dipping fracture system that has been intensely altered by carbonates and quartz-rich fluids. Minor amounts of zinc, silver and copper are also present. Grades average approximately 0.20 ounces gold per ton over 6 feet in this zone.

The No. 2 zone is much less explored and is located west of the No. 1 zone. This zone joins with the No. 1 zone at depth and is also intensely altered. The No. 1 zone has been traced down to a depth of 750 feet. One of the better drill holes 87-87 drilled in the No. 2 zone 7.8 feet averaging 0.217 ounces of gold per ton. Prospecting has uncovered seven additional gold showings.
