About the South Uchi Project
The South Uchi Project was first identified and staked by Kenorland based on the region's prospectivity to host significant gold mineralised systems. The Project covers a portion of Confederation Assemblage volcanic rocks, as well as the boundary between the volcanic-dominated Uchi geological subprovince to the north and the sedimentary-dominated English River geological subprovince to the south. Multiple major east-west striking shear zones associated with the Uchi and English River subprovince boundary transect the Project. Deformation associated with these structures has resulted in zones of strong shearing, alteration, and folding of the metavolcanic-clastic and metasedimentary-iron formation stratigraphy, which are favorable settings for orogenic gold mineralisation. The majority of gold deposits in the Red Lake District (Red Lake, Madsen, Hasaga, and others) are located on the northern margin of the Confederation Assemblage, however, recent discoveries such as the LP Fault Zone on the Dixie Project by Great Bear Resources Ltd. (acquired by Kinross Gold and renamed Great Bear Project) highlight the prospectivity of the entire Confederation Assemblage along the southern margin of the Uchi subprovince.
The Papaonga target area within the Project, covering approximately 40 km², presents a large, coherent gold-in-till and HMC gold grain anomaly, with widespread gold mineralization found in bedrock along northeast-trending shear zones. The gold is hosted in various rock types, including intrusive, sedimentary, and volcanic formations, and is accompanied by a strong multi-element signature (Au-Ag-Te-W±As-Sb-Mo) indicative of gold anomalism. These results suggest the presence of a significant and previously unrecognized gold system. A maiden diamond drill program is currently being designed and planned.
