Sainte Sabine Project
Sainte Sabine OverviewThe Sainte Sabine gold and gold-polymetallic (Au-Ag-Zn-Cu) property is located approximately 100 km southeast of Quebec City in the Beauce region of the Province of Quebec, Canada The property lies immediately along and across strike of several known zones currently being tested by Golden Hope Mines Limited on their Bellechasse Project. GWR's property contains known, near-surface occurrences but has received only sparse reconnaissance exploration work to date along its 12 km strike length. Historical drilling on the property in the late 1980s and 1990 includes a dozen relatively short BQ drill holes that tested 4 coincident geophysical + geochemical anomalies and confirmed the presence of the favourable host stratigraphy. These drill cores were only sparsely sampled (some were not sampled at all) yet returned anomalous gold assays up to 6.6 gpt. Untested historical geochemical anomalies, with historical and new geophysical data, will provide an inventory of promising targets.Gold has long been known to occur within the Beauce region, with the earliest discovery reported in the 1820's. Potentially economic mineralization occurs in several modes within volcanosedimentary rocks of the Magog Group:
GWR believes the property offers excellent gold potential and possesses numerous favourable criteria: excellent infrastructure (year round road access, water, telecommunications and hydro power within 4 km), a skilled workforce, exploration-friendly communities with no aboriginal issues, simplified work permitting process, and proximity to major financial and expertise centers in Canada and USA. Quebec is regarded as one of the most exploration-supportive, policy friendly jurisdictions in the world as rated by the Fraser Institute, offering significant exploration expenditure rebates of 42 to 47%. | |
