Canadian GoldCamps Corp. ("Canadian GoldCamps", or the "Company")
(CSE: CAMP) (FSE: A68) is pleased to announce that it has entered
into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in seven highly
prospective mineral licenses, comprising 3,025 acres adjacent to
and surrounding the western border of New Found Gold Corp.’s
Queensway Project in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador,
Canada.
Alex Terentiew, President & CEO commented “I
am excited to announce our first acquisition as Canadian GoldCamps.
Our vision at the outset has been to build Canadian GoldCamps into
a premier Canadian critical mass gold exploration and development
platform for investors seeking exposure to the best opportunities
from top-tier management that the next generation of Canadian gold
discoveries may present. The Company is intent on being proximal to
large new discoveries with a commanding position in both existing
and new and highly active gold camps, as well taking commanding
positions in belts that possess all of the ingredients for the next
major Canadian discovery.
These first prospective properties, which will
benefit from tens of thousands of metres of upcoming drilling by
its neighbors, were acquired with the intent of participating in
the resource patrimony apparent along the most important faults
associated with discoveries in the province. With their
acquisition, the Company now has exposure to the Central
Newfoundland Gold Belt, an under explored district with excellent
infrastructure that is showing tremendous gold exploration
potential, as evidenced by numerous recent high-grade discoveries
on the neighbouring Queensway Project.
This includes 92.96 g/t over 19 metres in the
Keats Zone1 just 2 km from our Bowater claims where historic gold
surface sampling has identified values up to 20 g/t2. Given the
limited work done to date and the prospective geology, we believe
the potential for more high-grade discoveries is excellent.
Over the past couple of months, we have been
busy evaluating numerous growth opportunities. I expect the
acquisition of these Newfoundland properties to be the first of
several transactions in the very near-term as we continue to look
for attractive projects within Canada that we believe will add
value to our shareholders.”
Keats as Advisor for
Newfoundland
Canadian GoldCamps is also pleased to announce
that Wesley Keats has joined the Company as a technical advisor.
Mr. Keats is an experienced prospector and project generator based
in Newfoundland and Labrador. Over five generations, his family has
been involved in prospecting and discoveries in the province and
globally, including Point Leamington, Tally Pond, Duck Pond and the
high-grade Keats Zone at New Found Gold’s Queensway project, 2 kms
from our Bowater project.
His career started with Noranda Mining &
Exploration in the 1990’s focused in Newfoundland and Labrador. Mr.
Keats has owned and operated a global exploration service company
for 10+ years completing exploration programs in over seven
different countries and covering most major mining jurisdictions
around the world. Mr. Keats is currently the Senior Field
Exploration Manager for Klondike Gold Corp. where he has worked for
the past six years.
All Claims Are Proximal to the NE
Trending Dog Bay Suture
The north-east trending Dog Bay Suture (or Dog
Bay Line, as it is often referred to) and the parallel Appleton and
JPB Faults have been identified as hosting significant gold-bearing
potential, evidenced by New Found Gold’s discoveries on the
neighbouring Queensway property, as well as Marathon Gold’s
Valentine Lake deposit, approximately 150 km to the south.
The Bowater License, contiguous to the west with
New Found Gold’s Queensway North property and the nearby high-grade
Keats zone, where two drills are currently turning and an initial
12,000m drill program is targeted, returned historic grab samples
of up to 20g/t Au by Noranda Exploration Company Limited2 when it
was discovered in 1987.
At the Bellman’s Pond license, as reported in
the provincial assessment reports3, disseminated pyrite and
arsenopyrite mineralization occurs in silicified and chloritic
greywackes of the Davidsville Group. Two parallel,
stratigraphically controlled, gossanous fault zones, spaced about
20m apart and 3-4 meters wide, have returned values up to 4.1 g/t
Au with high arsenic values on limited sampling. These fault zones
are open for expansion along strike and at depth. Heavy mineral
concentrate sampling from tills on the property have returned up to
650ppb Au and 4320 ppm As, which are highly anomalous and warrant
follow-up sampling as they occur outside of the known
mineralization.
The O’Reilly showing, as reported in the
provincial assessment reports4,5, consists of an east-northeast
trending zone of intense silicification and quartz veining in
siltstone or very fine-grained sandstone. Vuggy quartz and
chalcedonic silica are the dominant textures with the southern
flank of the zone containing a black, silica sealed fault breccia.
The alteration has been traced over a 3 km strike length and
includes the O’Reilly extension showing 2 km to the northeast,
which returned values of up to 6.35 g/t Au. The black,
silica-sealed fault breccia at O’Reilly has returned a channel
samples of up to 5.2 g/t Au and grab samples of 12.98 g/t.
Transaction Details
The seven properties, which cover approximately
3,025 acres, are being acquired for total consideration of $20,000
in cash and 1.143 million shares. The acquisition is subject to
certain approvals, including regulatory approval. The properties
are subject to a 2% royalty, of which 1% may be repurchased for $1
million any time prior to the commencement of commercial
production. All values are in Canadian dollars.
