The Gold Lake
property is located in Grant County, New Mexico in the White Signal Mining
District near the small community of White Signal. The property is
approximately 10 km south-southeast of the Tyrone porphyry copper deposit
and 23 km west-southwest of the Chino and Santa Rita porphyry copper
deposits.
Gold Lake is
situated in the southeastern portion of the Big Burro Mountains, which are a
block-faulted remnant of an east-west trending structural high known as the
Burro Uplift. The Big Burro Mountains are composed primarily of Precambrian
granite of the Burro Mountain batholith which has been intruded by numerous
Precambrian diabase dikes, the Tyrone quartz monzonite stock of early
Tertiary age and early Tertiary and rhyolite dikes and plugs. The Company has
potentially identified a quartz monzonite intrusive phase within the Gold
Lake project area that intrudes the Saddle Mountain rhyolite plug suggesting
a possible Tyrone-age equivalent intrusive event within this area
The Company has identified a porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold target at Gold
Lake which is expressed through surface geochemistry, by strong porphyry-style alteration and a large SP geophysical anomaly. A total of 228 lode
mining claims covering 1,589 ha. have been located by the Company on BLM
Stock Raising Homestead Lands. Drilling of this large
geochemical/geophysical target is planned for November 2007
Rock chip,
silt and soil geochemistry has helped to identify two areas of interest.
Both are located in areas where the quartz monzonite has been identified.
The largest and strongest geochemical anomaly is located southeast of Saddle
Mountain where a leached cap has also been identified with elevated
copper-molybdenum-gold geochemistry and is partially exposed over an area of
approximately 2.9 km by 1.0 km. The second area is located to the north of
Saddle Mountain in a highly altered exposure of quartz monzonite where there
are numerous historic workings. Both areas show strong geochemical
signatures in copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, bismuth and uranium.
Geochemically, copper is very enriched, rock chip samples with values
ranging up to 11.5% with 30 samples having values greater than 0.1% Cu.
Molybdenum values ranged up to 0.17% and silver and gold values ranged up to
385 gpt and 29 gpt respectively. The geophysical survey identified a large
and strong 2,300 x 1,380 metre anomaly. The property represents an excellent
drill target.
