Exploration History

1945: discovered by Sylvanite Mining, but little work was done. 1997: Houston Lake Mining purchased the property and optioned 55% of the property to affiliated company Inca Mining Corp. Inca Mining rediscovered the zone and conducted stripping and sampling. 2002: Houston Lake Mining acquired 100% interest in the property and conducted sampling. 2003: Houston Lake Mining conducted linecutting and magnetometer and VLF-EM geophysical surveys, stripping, geological mapping, and sampling. 2003-4: Houston Lake Mining drilled 26 DDH totalling 1733 m. 2013: Cameron Gold Operations Ltd. drilled 7 DDH totalling 425.6 m.

Geology Comments

Feb 09, 2011 (C Ravnaas) - The West Cedartree Gold Project area can be divided into three lithological domains from west to east: the massive and pillowed mafic metavolcanic flows of the Snake Bay Formation (SBF) of the Rowan Lake Group, the differentiated Kakagi gabbro sill and the intermediate heterolithic, lapilli tuffs to pyroclastic breccias of the Emm Bay Formation (EBF) of the Kakagi Lake Group. The major lithological formations strike roughly north-northeasterly across the property. Gabbro sill/mafic volcanic and internal ultramafic/gabbro sill contacts appear to dip steeply to the east reflecting local shearing and/or faulting. The direction of younging of the major formations and the differentiation trend in the gabbro sill concur yielding tops to the east. The deformational history of the property is complex and at least two deformation events are expressed. Numerous faults and lineaments of a number of orientations are present in the local geology. Shearing generally trends NNE-SSW which is subparallel to the major geological contacts, D3-related fold axes and deformation zones. Shearing is frequently accompanied by widespread carbonate and ironcarbonate alteration. Reference: Cutting. D.

Lithology

Lithology Comments

Feb 09, 2011 (C Ravnaas) - Gold mineralization occurs within a 8.0-20.0m wide alteration and shear zone that follows the contact between an ultramafic basal portion and the gabbroic upper portion of a large differentiated gabbro sill. The alteration consists of serpentinization, carbonatization, fuchsitization and silicification that have affected mainly the upper portions of the ultramafic unit. Faults that approximate Riedel's classification of brittle-ductile shear zones have affected the alteration system and the distribution of gold veins within the zone. Reference: Cutting. D.

Mineralization

Mineralization Comments

Feb 22, 2012 (C Ravnaas) - Within the AHGZ the gold values occur along the entire sampled exposure. The controls for the gold mineralization at this point are not completely understood. This being said, it is noted that most of the best values occur within the highly fractured structurally complex central core sections of the zone usually in association with quartz veins, silicification, and fuchsite alteration. Two lenses of more continuous gold mineralization have been identified within the zone and appear to plunge 30º to the south. The gold itself within the Angel Hill Gold Zone does occur, at least in part, as coarse visible grains and specks up to 0.5 millimetres in size. The gold appears to relatively evenly distributed in the samples occurring as coarse flakes (> 150 mesh), fine flakes (< 150 mesh), and/or in combination with other metallic minerals observed such as pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, or molybdenite. The undiluted Inferred Mineral Resource for the Angel Hill Gold Zone (Lenses 1 and 2) stands at 106,400 tonnes at 2.97 g/t Au with a 2 g/t Au cutoff (49,700 tonnes at 4.77 g/t Au with a 4 g/t Au Cutoff) Reference: Cutting.

Aug 28, 2017 (Therese Pettigrew) - The “New” Zone (now called Angel Hill Gold Zone) subparallels and is 400 m east of the McLennan Main Zone. Inca Mining Corp’s samples collected in 1997 returned assays between 29.84 and 74.62 g/t Au. Houston Lake Mining’s 2002 samples had assays up to 45.9 g/t Au were returned from sheared and silicified gabbro. In 2002, the “New” zone was stripped over a strike length of 120 m (AFRI 52F05SW2014). The mineralization at Angel Hill is contained within a shear zone at the contact of differential units within a gabbro sill. It comprises silica, carbonate and sericite alteration that ranges from 1-211 m wide over a strike of 130 m and to a vertical depth of 75 m. The mineralization is associated with pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and molybdenite. In May 2006, HLM extracted a 1041 t bulk sample that yielded a total of 190 ounces of gold at an average grade of 5.67 g/t Au after processing at a third party mill (Ball, 2013). The Angel Hill Gold Zone is a north-northeasterly trending alteration and shear system contained within altered mafic and ultramafic intrusive rocks. The zone appears to pinch and swell along strike, varying from 8 to 20 m wide at surface. Sampling in 2003 returned values from trace to 71.3 g/t Au. Sampling in 2004 ranged from 0.59-115.5 g/t Au (Cutting and Anthony, 2005).
