Quebec - Kipawa
Kipawa Gold - Rare Earth Elements Property, Quebec
The Kipawa gold project is an early stage exploration project located approximately 100 kilometres south of Rouyn-Noranda, halfway between the Elliot Lake camp and the Abitibi gold belt camp, and was initially acquired on the basis of a Government regional stream sediment survey. The project consists of three non-contiguous claim blocks totalling 1,485 claims.
Exploration programs performed in 2007 to 2009 included regional till sampling, prospecting, geophysics, soil geochemistry, and limited diamond drilling. These programs lead to the discovery of gold and rare earth elements (REE) mineralization. Mineralization occurs along the contact between a syenite intrusive and altered hosted rocks.
The first drilling program completed at Kipawa by Aurizon, totalled 681 metres in four (4) drill holes with the objective of testing the Snake rare earth elements target, located in the western part of the Kipawa southern claim block. These holes intersected a broad rare earth mineralized envelope within a minimum true thickness averaging 61 to 104 metres.
Exploration
A 6,550 metre drill program, comprising 25 drill holes, has recently been completed to test gold targets identified from prior field activities. Drill results from this program are presently being compiled and results are expected shortly.
