Location
- 100% Tarku
- 171 claims, 9,025 ha, Upper Eastmain river greenstone belt
- 300 km NNE of Chibougamau; 56 km south of Renard mine
- Cree communities of Mistissini (category III lands), Eeyou Istchee James-Bay territory
- Year-round access via the Route 167 highway (too Renard Mine)
Geological Context
Favorable context: Orogenic or syngenetic gold
- Adjacent and same geological context then past producing Eastmain Mine (historical production: 118,356 tm. @ 10.6 g/t Au from 1994 to 1995, Ressources MSV, GM 56083, 1997)
- Along strike with 2 regional auriferous trends:
- Eastmain Mine trend
- Ruby Hill trend
- Colline du Château Fort showing: 3.3 g/t Au (grab sample, MERN, MB 88-16, 1988)
- Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, As anomalies in lake bottom, soil and stream sediments (Eros Resources Corp.)
- Very little historical work (only 10 drill holes)
Local Geophysic
- Two well defined regional corridors with high magnetic signatures over 10km on-strike with the two auriferous corridors
- Presence of 85 intermediate to very-strong intensity EM anomalies
Work by Tarku
- High-resolution heliborne MAG and TDEM survey over 2,184 line-km in 2015 (GM 69121)
- Prospection work in 2016 (0.2 g/t Au, 1.8 g/t Ag, 0.37% Cu, grab sample)
