About the Cloud Project and Proposed Work
The Company acquired the Cloud Project on September 16, 2020 from W.S. Ferreira Ltd. The Company's gold exploration Cloud Project is located in the province of Manitoba, in the Flin Flon Gold Belt approximately 40 kilometers northeast of the town of Flin-Flon. Access to the property is via Highway 10 to the all-weather Kississing Lake Road. Manitoba is a mining friendly jurisdiction with a long track record of gold production. The Cloud project is road accessible which greatly reduces the costs associated with exploration and development. The Project can be worked all year round. A current work permit is in place which includes mechanized disturbances (drilling and trenching).
The Cloud project is located within the Flin Flon Metallogenic gold belt. The gold belt contains orogenic gold deposits with the largest being Hudson Bay's Snow Lake Mine.
Historic grab rock samples have returned high gold grades of up to 122 g/t Au. Historic channel sampling has returned grades of up to 88 g/t Au over 1.0 meters.
Highlights from the Company's first drill program in 2020/21 are:
-
Eight core drill holes for a total of 1,663 meters;
-
Visible gold verified by assays;
-
Best intercepts 1m @ 17.3g/t Au; 1m @ 10.2 g/t Au;2
-
Au intercepts in drill holes spaced up to 175m apart;
-
Drilling testing a 300m long prospect defined by surface pits containing gold;
-
The gold package is hosted in a distinct mafic/magnetic unit with the gold hosted in structurally controlled veins;
-
Geophysical surveys to date map the gold bearing rock units well and provide additional targets for testing under cover;
-
The exposed geology in conjunction with the corresponding geophysical signatures indicating a 4 km strike length provide enough geographic distance to host a reasonable size gold deposit; and
-
A significant new gold find in the Flin Flon Belt.
The Cloud Project is a project of merit and further drilling is required to expand the discoveries to date.
Corporate Update
On July 12, 2023, the Company announced a potential spin-out of the Company's Cloud Project and Quartz Property. Given the Company's current focus on the Cloud Project, the Company will not be proceeding with the proposed spin-out.
