PROJECT OVERVIEW
4
- Exploits Discovery Corp. holds 100% interest in four exceptional gold
projects with geological, geochemical and structural settings comparable to New Found Gold’s Queensway discovery (DDH 19m at 92.86 g/t Au)
- Newly acquired Jonathan’s Pond and Mt. Peyton projects host anomalies
that predate New Found Gold’s discovery
- Exploits Discovery Corp. maintains the largest land package in
Newfoundland
- Modern exploration techniques applied to the property presents the
- pportunity for significant new discoveries
- New geological theories suggest that untested historical gold
- ccurrences on the property are controlled by secondary and tertiary
structures of the Exploits Subzone, which could lead to discovery
- This is the technique that drove the discovery of New Found Gold’s
Queensway discovery
- The Exploits Subzone is potentially one of the worlds last easily accessible
district scale gold camps
- Properties are accessible by the Trans Canada Highway
CSE : RNR R
EXPLOIT ITS SUBZONE
What Make kes the the Ex Explo loits Sub Subzone a Pri rime Ta Target for for Gold
- ld Discovery?
- The Exploits Subzone is a prime environment for true discovery in
- ne of the last easily accessible gold exploration districts in the
world
- Prominent regional thrust faulting shows evidence of long tectonic
history and fluid migration
- Trans-compressional strike-slip movement in the regional
siliciclastic units underlain by mixed mafic volcanics of the Gander River Ultramafic Belt (GRUB) creates a highly prospective gold environment, exemplified by the Bendigo gold deposit in Victoria (Australia), and Meguma gold deposits (Nova Scotia) displaying similar structural and geological controls
- Abundant reactivation features such as sericite seams, iron-rich
carbonate hydrothermal alteration and quartz-carbonate veinlets (historically structurally hosted gold was not adequately tested in the area)
