In addition to the funding to be provided by Romios, this research project has been awarded $100,000 in funding by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). HIGHLIGHTS:Two-year graduate-level research program initiated at Lakehead University; drill core samples collected for this research in September 2021.One MSc student recruited and study of the VMS-type base metal occurrences and the >7 km long related alteration zone / \"plumbing system\" has begun.Samples collected from all of the significant \"epithermal-style\" gold-carbonate veins. Recruitment for an MSc student to work on these samples is underway.NSERC has approved the project's application for funding and will be contributing $100,000 to the project over the next 2 years through the Alliance program. Lakehead University is consistently ranked as one of the top two undergraduate research universities in Canada by RE$EARCH Infosource, and is in the top quartile of worldwide universities in the Physical Sciences (as per the Times Higher Education World University Rankings). Dr Pete Hollings has authored or co-authored more than 130 publications, primarily on mineral deposits and greenstone belt geology, in collaboration with researchers from many countries including Australia, Canada, China, and the Philippines. He is currently the NOHFC Industrial Research Chair in Mineral Exploration.\"The geology of the gold and base metal systems at Lundmark-Akow Lake is somewhat unusual so we are very pleased to partner with a world-class researcher like Dr. Hollings and his students in our ongoing efforts to determine the origins and controls of this mineralization and potentially locate additional gold and base metal zones,\" commented John Biczo...
