Falcon commences work at Gaspard Gold Project

alcon Gold Corp has commenced field work on its Gaspard Gold Project near Spences Bridge, BC. The property comprises three mineral claims, covering 3,955 hectares in the Clinton Mining District of central British Columbia. The property covers similar geology to the Spences Bridge Gold Belt that hosts Westhaven Gold Corp’s Shovelnose gold project and the Blackdome Zone gold-silver deposit owned by Tempus Resources.
The company will be conducting prospecting, field reconnaissance mapping and sampling. The objective will be to delineate and constrain the styles of gold mineralization and assess the geological setting. “We are excited to initiate boots on the ground sampling and mapping at the Gaspard Gold Project,” said Karim Rayani, Falcon’s Chief Executive Officer. “The SBGB is a highly prospective, underexplored gold belt that has proven
to host high-grade gold and silver veins. Historical stream and soil sediment sampling has highlighted a large anomalous area that warrants follow-up. We look forward to receiving the results of this highly anticipated exploration program.” The property has year-round, all-season road access with a good network of active logging roads. The City of Williams Lake located 60 kilometres northeast of the property. World Mining Magazine www.ogsmag.com
