Nitinat Provides Update on the Carscallen Gold Property
20 March 2018 - 7:30AM
Further to its press release dated March 12, 2018 whereby Nitinat
Minerals Corp. (the “Corporation”) (TSX-V:NZZ) (Frankfurt:04U1)
announced its option to acquire four (4) additional claims
(collectively, the “Claims”) abutting the western boundaries of the
Corporation’s current mining claims in Carscallen Township, Ontario
(the “Carscallen Gold Property”), the Corporation is pleased to
provide additional information pertaining to the Claims.
The Corporation intends to implement an
exploration program for the Claims to fully explore the potential
of the Claims. The “preliminary technical appraisal” provided
herein, along with the geophysics that the Corporation intends to
undertake, will identify potential drill targets. The property
encompassing the Claims is of particular interest in that surface
exploration to date on the Claims has shown the existence of
historic surface mining and sampling. The Corporation is currently
assessing the most economical and efficient route, taking advantage
of the available database, to develop a work program with the
related timelines.
The following “preliminary technical appraisal”
is the initial professional summarization of the Corporation’s
geologist from which an initial work plan will be prepared:
- Eastern Extent of the Property Package:
Regional geological information for the eastern area of the
property package includes a 70m to 230m strike extent mafic
intrusion, possible structurally controlled, with a NNW-SSE
orientation and about 200m wide, tapering towards the extremities.
Three small historical shafts are found within this area of the
property package and appear along strike with the regionally mapped
geological units. The property has unverified grab sample results,
with supporting photographic evidence of structurally controlled
vein quartz intrusions as well as evidence of vein swarming.
- Central Strike Extent: There is an
approximately 10 km strike extend without any geological
information between the eastern and western areas.
- Western Extent of the Property Package: In
this area a number of unverified sampling positions have been
identified from historical records. The geological interpretation
related to these sampling positions has never been described
however there appears to be alignment of sampling positions
suggesting structural control. The work program should include the
mapping and interpretation of the gold hosted sampling positions
with the intention of updating the geological model for more
targeted exploration activities.
- Geological Model: Pioneering work done on a
geological model for the region has been developed on neighbouring
mines. The following geological setting is proposed:
- The TWM (Timmins West Mine) is located along a NE trending
contact zone. The contact zone is within the interface between the
southern metavolcanics rock, separated from the northern
metasediments by an unconformity.
- Steeply dipping unconformities are associated with folding and
shearing and may be associated with gold mineralization.
- In addition to the mineralized shear zone, there are
pyroxenite-rich as well as synite-type intrusives.
- The mineralization is also associated with multi-pulse
quartz-carbonate-tourmaline and albite veins with sulphide (pyrite)
alteration haloes. Disseminated pyrite mineralization is associated
with these veins.
“The Corporation is very pleased to be moving
forward on the technical side of things,” stated Mr. Herb Brugh,
the President of the Corporation. “The Corporation is confident
that with the experienced team that it has assembled, the
Carscallen Gold Property will be fully exploited to its fullest
potential.”
The Carscallen Gold Property is located 25 kms
west of the City of Timmins and 7 kilometers north of the Lakeshore
Gold’s Timmins Mine which produced an aggregate of 185,600 ounces
in 2014.
The Qualified Person for the Carscallen Gold
Property is John A. Gould, B.Sc. University of the Witwatersrand
