Leocor Gold in Baie Verte, Newfoundland
Leocor controls over 1600-hectares in the historic Baie Verte Mining District, one of the more productive gold and base metal mining regions in Canada. The former Terra Nova base metal mine - one of several copper mines of the region, which operated during the late 1880's to early 1900's - lies 200 meters west of Leocor's Copper Creek claims. Former gold mining operations in the area include the Goldenville mine (of 1903-1906), located 8 km NE of the property, and the more recent Nugget Pond mine (1997-2000) of the eastern Baie Verte Peninsula area. Currently producing mines in the area include the Rambler base metal-gold mine (1961-present), located 14 km ESE of Baie Verte, and the Pine Cove Mine and Stogertite deposit (collectively, 2011-present) located 1.6 km and 5.4 km NE of the Company's project claims.
The Company's Dorset Gold Project is a 275-hectare gold exploration project, located south of the Pine Cove gold mine, Baie Verte mining district, north-central Newfoundland, Canada, with multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization. A number of high-target areas have been delineated for follow-up, based on the historic work, which includes the following highlights*:
-
- Dorset - 408 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") (grab sample), 41.6 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (channel) and 9.5 g/t Au over 1.3 m in a diamond drill hole;
- Dorset extension - 56 g/t Au over 2.5 m (channel) and 2.32 g/t Au over 0.5 m (diamond drill hole);
- Braz - 314 g/t Au (grab), 40 g/t Au (grab) and 5.8 g/t over 1.9 m (channel);
- Gunshot - 162 g/t Au (grab), 18 g/t Au over 0.4 m (channel) and 5.73 g/t over 0.55 m (diamond drill hole);
- Central carbonate zone - 5.5 g/t Au (grab), 4.6 g/t Au (grab) and 0.6 g/t Au over 5.5 m (channel).
Historical results at the Company's Copper Creek project include 3.9 g/t Au over 4 meters in a channel sample, and 16 g/t Au, 11.35 g/t Au, 9.20 g/t Au, 8.23 g/t Au, 7.33 g/t in grab samples*. The Company's Five Mile Brook project has been subject to minimal exploration in the past but shows potentially important geological continuity to the Company's Dorset Gold Project, which lies directly contiguous to the northern boundary.
