The Beauce Region, Quebec

  • Site of the first gold rush in North-America in 1828
  • Strategic land position comprising 80% of mineralized belt
  • 554 mining claims spanning 24,436 hectares
  • Excellent infrastructure nearby

The Bellechasse property lies at the end of the Appalachian range of mountains, located in Bellechasse, Panet and Ware Townships approximately 110 km southeast of Quebec City and about 70 km northeast of the town of Saint-Georges . The 100% owned property is comprised of 554 claims covering 24,436 hectares.

Click to Enlarge The property covers up to 80% of a known mineralized belt. Mineralization with potential economic interest is hosted in zones of fracturing and brecciation in the older intrusives or other pre-existing competent rocks in structural features related to regional trans-current/transform faults. Regional prospecting has located a series of post-Taconic ultrabasic bodies with associated alteration zones that contain base and precious metals. The Bellechasse project consists of multiple known gold-bearing areas:

 

Bellechasse-Timmins Gold Deposit

  • The Bellechasse-Timmins Gold Deposit lies within one of these claim blocks 7km south of the town of St-Magloire in Bellechasse Township.
  • The Timmins Zone is a quartz vein breccia system hosted in an older diorite intrusive.
  • The Bellechasse-Timmins Deposit is comprised of what has been previously considered four separate zones; the Timmins Main Zone (now call Timmins 1), the Ascot/Road Zone the Timmins South (now called Timmins 2) and the 88 Zones. Spatially the four zones occur within an area 825 metres long by 650 metres wide.
  • All four of the mineralized settings are hosted in the earliest phase of the albite diorite intrusion having the maximum shearing and brecciation. The hydrolic fractured systems within this earliest intrusion were the sites of auriferous quartz deposition.
  • The Timmins Zone is a quartz vein breccia system hosted in an older diorite intrusive.
  • Auriferous quartz veining occurs throughout the T1, T2, the 88 Zones and Ascot/Road Zone intrusives. Within the intrusives there are economically significant zones ranging in width from 1 to 65 metres. These higher grade zones extend laterally and to depth as indicated by the frequency of quartz veining on the stripped surface and surface trenching.

FSG Target

  • Gold/copper/lead/zinc target
  • Diamond drill program began in third quarter of 2007 to test the depth continuity of the zone, degree of alteration and extent of sulfide mineralization
  • A pre-Taconic extrusive complex was staked during regional evaluation
  • The partially exposed zone is composed of brecciated silicified volcanic rocks that have been traced over an approximate 700 metre (2,300 ft) strike length and 200 metre (656ft) width and has shown to contain visible sulfides
  • The most altered and mineralized part of the exposed zone extends for a length of 200 metres (656 ft) and a width of 90 meters (295 ft). It has been mapped in detail and subsequently sampled
