Background Information

Gold deposits in Saskatachewan are found mainly in the Early Proterozoic volcanoplutonic regimes of the La Ronge and Flin Flon domains. Six of the project areas are located within the La Ronge Gold Belt and a 7^th project is located in the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt located to the south-east (see Table 1 and Figure 1).

La Ronge Gold Belt Properties

The La Ronge Gold Belt hosts 13 known gold deposits including 5 former producing gold mines. Gold mineralization in the La Ronge Gold Belt is mostly structurally controlled, quartz-vein type and characteristically high-grade, often with average grades >10 g/t Au. Highlights of the 6 properties that are located within the La Ronge Gold Belt are as follows:

• The Hilda Pond property lies north and contiguous with claims owned by Kristo Gold (private company). The Kristo Gold claims host the past producing Anglo-Rouyn Cu-Zn-Au Mine.
• The Kidney Lake and McKenzie Lake properties are contiguous to the north and south of a large land package belonging to Golden Band Resources encompassing the past producing Komis & Star Lake deposits, and the EP, Golden Heart, Memorial, Tower East, Kaslo, Birch Crossing, Jojay, Alimak & Decade gold deposits.
• The McLennan Lake property lies 7km south of the past producing Star Lake Au mine. Access is excellent as the property straddles Highway 102 from La Ronge.
• The Slaney Lake property is contiguous on the north with a Golden Band land package that hosts the Bingo Gold Deposit (Roy Lloyd Mine).
• The Miles Lake property is contiguous to the west with a Golden Band land package that encompasses the past producing Contact Lake Gold mine.

Flin Flon Greenstone Belt Property

The Flin Flon Greenstone Belt is located approximately 120km to the south-east of the La Ronge Gold Belt. This mining district has been host to 25 operating mines since 1916. Most of the mines are copper-zinc, although at least 3 mines produced principally gold and silver.

• The Standing Lake property has several historic copper showings, the most significant being 1.25% Cu over 0.3m from drill core. A belt of Cu-Zn-Au-Ag showings trend north-west from the town of Flin Flon through the property. Access is excellent via provincial highway 106 that cuts the south edge of the claim.
