System Scale Targets

Two large scale gold systems – the Four Corners Target and Lafond Target – have been identified using high resolution Mag and Lidar, which highlight prospective structure and geology over the central portion of the project. Over 3000 soil samples showed that the gold correlated well with known showings and the LNSZ. Additionally, 160-line km of IP survey work was completed, which highlighted large prospective targets. Over 5000 assay and geochemical rock samples were taken, along with 1500 mapping stations installed, which highlighted areas of subcropping gold mineralization.

Four Corners Target

  • Located north of major, deep-seated, camp-scale fault systems (CLLZ, LNSZ), with gold focused along secondary shear zones.
  • Targeting system development near the intersection of major cross-cutting faults coincident with strong gold geochemistry and calc-alkaline intrusions.
  • Trenching has exposed multiple new trends of gold-bearing veins in bedrock within a complex structural setting.
  • Two distinct styles of mineralization identified:
  • Integrated geology, structure, geochemistry, and geophysics define multiple coincident target zones.
  • Approximately 10,000 metres of targeted drilling is planned across several priority trends.

Lafond Target

  • Large Temiskaming aged felsic intrusion hosted gold system adjacent to the Sharp Creek fault, a major crosscutting structure that intersects with the LNSZ.
  • Near the north end of the intrusion, a 160m shaft and approximately 460m of underground development was driven in the 1920’s to explore for and recover a bulk sample.
  • Work completed by South Kirkland Gold includes:
    • Detailed prospecting and bedrock geological mapping
    • Mechanical stripping and trenching
    • IP geophysical surveys to refine drill targeting
    • Diamond drilling to test down‑dip and along‑strike continuity
  • Two principal styles of gold mineralization identified:
    • Quartz‑carbonate‑sulphide vein‑hosted gold within shear zones (pyrite ± arsenopyrite).
    • Disseminated and veinlet‑hosted gold in silicified and sericitized granodiorite and altered wall rock.

Discussion of Results:

  • Surface work has significantly expanded the known mineralized footprint to approximately 900 metres of strike, significantly larger than indicated by historic data.
  • Pilot program of drilling:
    • Returned intercepts including: 99.0 m @ 0.55 g/t Au (LN19‑04), 56.5 m @ 0.70 g/t Au (LN19‑02), including 2.97 m @ 10.23 g/t Au including 0.39 m @ 71.0 g/t Au (LN19‑02) and 21.0 m @ 1.31 g/t Au (LN19‑06)
    • Confirmed good continuity of veining that continues beneath surface exposure to at least 100 metres down‑dip remaining open along strike and at depth
    • Confirm Lafond as a coherent, structurally controlled gold system rather than isolated high‑grade occurrences.

Lafond’s Next Steps and Data Highlights

  • The demonstrated strike extent, multiple mineralization styles, and down‑dip continuity indicate potential for additional resource‑style drilling, subject to systematic step‑out and infill programs.
