Crest Lake
Overview

Regional Exploration and Production(DPFZ - Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone) the Destor-Porcupine Fault system is the principal regional lineament associated with numerous gold deposits in the Timmins camp.Hollinger Mine operated from 1910 until 1968. During that period 65,778,234 tons were milled, producing 19,327,691 ounces of gold, indicating an overall grade of 0.29. McIntyre mine operated from 1912 to 1988 there were 37,529,691 tons milled, producing 10,745,361 ounces of gold, an overall grade of 0.29 ounces per ton. The Crest lake property lies within the Porcupine Gold Camp, which has a cumulative historical gold production in excess of 67 million ounces and even today continues to grow as new mines come on stream. | |||||||
Local ExplorationProperty is located 2.2km west of RT Minerals Corp current drilling program on their Golden property, which is contiguous to the southwest land holdings of Lake Shore Gold. | |||||||
Property GeologyGenerally the geology consists of granitic gneiss in the southern half of the property. East-west trending Upper Deloro Group felsic to intermediate volcanics and Porcupine group sediments make up the central to north half of the property. All of these rocks have been cut by north-south trending diabase dikes. An interpreted NW fault is shown traversing the property and is accentuated by a North-South off set within the sedimentary sequence. | |||||||
Historical HighlightsPast trenching on the southeast tip of Crest Lake exposed mafic flows and pyroclastics in contact with a Granodiorite and produced a grab sample assaying .04 oz/t Au. Soil sampling south of Crest Lake also produced gold anomalies in excess of 10,000 ppb. A VLF geophysical survey suggests a structure transecting the central portion of Crest Lake which may be a continuation of the PDFZ and a northwest southeast trending fault has been determined on the eastern portion of Crest Lake.Zinccorp geologists plan to investigate this prospective area with an IP, Mag-VLF geophysical survey to delineate potential drill targets. | |||||||
