Nov. 30, 2010 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
KIRKLAND LAKE, ON, Nov. 30 /CNW/ - RJK Explorations Ltd., (RJX.A) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to
acquire 6 mining claim units (Dempster Lake Claims) totaling
approximately 1,600 hectares in the Meen‐Dempster Greenstone Belt of
the Uchi Subprovince located approximately 21 kilometers southeast of
the of the past producing Golen Patricia gold mine.
The Uchi Sup‐Province hosts the former producing Pickle Crow, Central
Patricia and Donna Lake Mines in the Pickle Lake gold camp, the Golden
Patricia gold mine in the Meen‐Dempster Belt and the currently
producing Red Lake and Campbell mines in the Red Lake Belt.
The Dempster Lake property covers approximately 10 kilometers of the 15
kilometer long intensely deformed Dempster Lake Shear Zne (DLSZ) that
is similar to the Bear Head Fault Zone and splay shear zone which hosts
the Golden Patricia Mine.
The identified target lies within the transpressional dilational bend
(20‐25 degrees) of the DLSZ with an interperated width of approximately
220 meters in a mostly overburden and a lake covered zone of sheared ad
intense iron carbonate alteration at lower Dempster Lake with massive
replacement ferroan dolomite outcrops and apparent visile gold on the
lake shore. Major gold deposits are commonly associated with
curvatures, flexures, splays, dilational jogs, dilational bends and
other structural irregularities along major compressional fault and
shear zones.
Mapping by Stott and Wallace, Ontario Geological Survey (Map 2057) has
recommended the DLSZ in three publications as a gold target and has
noted gold bearing quartz‐toumaline veinlets in this area.
Historical work in the Lower Dempster Lake area was conducted by
Noranda in the 1980's and consisted of line cutting, magnetometer and
VLF‐EM surveying, limited mapping and humus geochemical sampling. No
drill testing was completed on this target.
Field, data collection and interpretative work by Donald Brown Ph.D.,
P.Geo has identified a gold in humus anomaly some 1,600 metres long by
200‐350 meters wide located on the south side of Lower Dempster Lake.
This anomalous corridor is considered to be the down‐ice glacial
dispersion expression of potential drill target areas within the DLSZ.
Additionally, five of seven rock samples collected south of the target
area returned anomalous values of 51,105, 208, 314 and 338 ppb gold.
The regional threshold for litho geochemical gold is 10 ppb.
RJK plans to drill test this highly prospective area in January 2011.
Terms of the option are cash and share payments totaling $82,500
($15,000 on signing), 1,000,000 shares (200,000 on signing) and work
commitments of $1.7m over four years ($300,000 first year). The
property is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty of which a buy
back of 1% can be completed for $2.0m. If the property is the subject
of a pre‐feasibility or feasibility study an additional 200,000 shares
is payable to the vendor. Donald Brown is the vendor of the Dempster
Lake Property and is a qualified person under 43‐101 requirements. Mr.
Brown has provided the field, research and interpretative data and has
reviewed the contents of this news release.
