About Gordon Lake
The Gordon Lake Property is host to a minimum of seven (7) auriferous quartz veins which have been documented to extend over a 2 km strike length.
Historically 59 mineralized diamond drill holes, which includes the following:
* 19.40 g/t over 7.40 metres
* 21.00 g/t over 7.20 metres
* 34.10 g/t over 4.80 metres
* 11.30 g/t over 6.45 metres
Historical drilling on the property has identified three discrete zones, the Main, South and Union. The South Zone contains the most prolific intersections to date but all three zones have encouraging intersections. For example, the drilling in 1988 on the South Zone pierced three mineralized lenses ranging in grade from 14.1 g/t to 145 g/t Au over widths are ranging from 0.9 meters to 4.2 meters.
Follow-up drilling during the 2005 campaign intersected such grades and widths as 4.12 g/t Au across 1.45 meters in the Main Zone, 5.6g/t Au across 6.65 meters and 20.35 g/t Au across 2.7 meters in the South Zone and 3.42 g/t Au across 5.37 meters in the Union Zone.
There are numerous other quartz veins occurring as surface targets which have not yet had any extensive exploration. A program is being planned to channel sample and geophysically survey the relatively unexplored quartz veins on the Gordon Lake Property in order to organize for a drill program in 2010.
