Red Pine president and CEO Quentin Yarie said: “We are pleased to have this additional area staked. We believe that the Golden Reed Mine is possibly located along a shear zone similar to the Wawa Gold Corridor.
“Our newly staked area may be located within its extension and there is potential for additional gold mineralisation in the area.”
The acquired ground is understood to to be an extension of the structure hosting the Golden Reed Mine, which operated in 1907 and 1908 with calculated grade of production of 2.3oz/t-78.66g/t gold.
An exploration campaign conducted in the 1990s also identified gold-bearing veins in the area. A grab sample taken from a 3ft-wide quartz vein had 31.12g/t gold, while a sample with 8.676g/t gold indicated that the precious metal is hosted in a shear zone.
