LAC SURPRISE: Target 3- Phase II Drill Program/ Stage II •
Target Area 3 was identified as a compelling target prior to the initiation of Phase I drilling.
•
Recent geophysical inversion modeling suggests the presence of an intrusion (potential heat source) with characteristics similar to those defined within the Nelligan gold deposit.
•
Similar observations lead to the discovery of the Falcon Gold Zone, Target Area 1. Including association of gold to: - A large, deeply rooted intrusion; - 60° faults; - Large areas magnetic lows suggesting areas of silicification and alteration, magnetic destruction.
