The claims extend from about 4 to 15 km\nsouthwest of the town of Hearst, Ontario. The property area is\nequivalent to approximately 4,500 hectares or 45 sq km. The\ngeophysical surveys were done in preparation for a reverse circulation\ndrill program scheduled for the Spring/Summer of 2024. The recent\ngeophysical program was partially funded by the Ontario Junior\nExploration Program.\n \n \n \n \n Historically, a sample of a metalliferous boulder,\nbrought to the Timmins Mining District Regional Resident Geologist in\n2019 by a Mr. A. Cousineau, was submitted for chemical analysis to\nGeolabs in Sudbury to establish its metal and mineralogical makeup.\nGeolabs determined that the boulder contained: 71.8% copper; 3.5%\nlead, 1.09% zinc; 252 g/T of silver, 3.79 g/T of gold; 4.43 g/T of\npalladium; and 2.22 g/T of platinum and consisted primarily of cuprite\n(van Hees et al., 2020).\n \n \n \n \n In 2021, Noble launched an exploration program to in an\neffort to identify the source of the boulder. Basal till samples\ncollected from two fences of hand auger holes, located about 100 m and\n1 km north of the boulder, produced 35 gold grains. These gold grains\ndefine a southeast-northwest trending dispersion train that indicate\nthey were transported southeast by a glacial transport from a source\narea located to the northwest. The dispersion train begins near a\nnortheast trending magnetic anomaly. The gold grains are predominantly\nreshaped (24) but also include modified (7) and pristine (4),\nsupporting evidence of local source.\n \n \n \n \n In 2022 an airborne geophysical survey was flown over\nthe property followed by a ground geophysical survey in\nNovember/December 2023.
