Commodity: Epithermal High-Grade Gold (Au)
- Project located 240 km northwest of St. John’s and is easily accessible by paved road.
- Located in a prospective and regionally extensive geological terrane.
- Strategically situated amid Newfoundland’s current gold rush and is immediately adjacent to the New Found Gold’s Queensway project
- Similar geology to New Founds’ Queensway discovery (19 m @ 92.9 g/t Au) and Sokoman Minerals’ Moosehead discovery (5.1 m @ 124.2 g/t Au)
- Historic drilling at Rolling Pond intersected a thick hydrothermal quartz vein system extending over 1.7 km in strike length, with true widths of 50 – 75 m and anomalous gold grades – Excellent exploration target!.
Drill ready targets – Excellent Potential
- Rolling Pond is a robust, well-preserved, high-level, epithermal system with substantial gold potential
- Untested coincident IP chargeability, resistivity and soil geochemical anomalies 600 m X 200 m (open ended)
- Two large untested gold in soil anomalies extending > 2-4 km with values up to 172 ppb Au
- Excellent potential for a new discovery in an emerging gold district
- Very prospective gold exploration target proximal to recent gold discoveries nearby
- Gold mineralization occurs in quartz vein structures near or at the margins of the Mt. Peyton Intrusion
- The veins at Rolling Pond mimic the mineralized gold-rich vein discoveries of New Found Gold (NFG:V) at their Queensway deposit and Sokoman Minerals at their Moosehead deposit (SIC:V)

Exploration Plan and Budget
- Evaluate 1.7 km long, quartz vein mineralized corridor
- Historic geophysical target follow-up
- Expand geophysical coverage
- Total budget estimate – $102,000
Hungry Hill Target
- Soil geochemical survey
- Follow-up gold in soil anomalies with trenching and prospecting
- Property scale mapping and prospecting
- Identify and define drill targets
