The drill program is focused on targeting the northeast extension of the Sturgeon River Mine structure, with the objective of targeting the Number 1, 2, 3 quartz veins and other quartz veins and shear structures encountered in the historic mining of the Sturgeon River Mine.\n \n \n The Sturgeon River property hosts the former producing Sturgeon River Mine, known previously as the Coniagas Mine, which produced 73,439 ounces of gold, and 15,922 ounces of silver between 1936 and 1942. (Seeber,1983).  The shaft was sunk to a depth of 2,108 ft with development on 14 levels, the lowest producing level being at 1,750 ft, with the main economic mineralization confined to the No. 3, M and 10 and 11 quartz veins.  Underground development included 20,239 ft of drifting and 3,149 ft of crosscutting.  The main economic mineralization was confined to the No. 3, M and 10 and 11 quartz veins. Wartime restrictions in 1942 forced the mine's closure in 1942 (Seeber,1983).\n \n \n \n Qualified Person\n \n \n \n The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by\n \n Jean-Philippe Paiement\n \n , PGeo, MSc, a consultant to ...
