Background
The Enid-Massey Property is located in Enid, Massey, Cote and Fortune Townships, in the Porcupine Mining Division, about 40 km west of Timmins.
The Corporation holds a 100% interest in a total of 589 mining claim units (55 mining claims) covering 9,542 acres.
The claims are known to host a series of untested airborne electromagnetic anomalies within or proximal to the favourable CEMMI (Cote, Enid, Massey Mafic Intrusive Complex)within the Kamiskotia Gabbroic Complex, which anomalies were defined by previous regional airborne surveys and geochemical surveys completed by the Ontario Geological Survey (G.S.C. Open File 3675).
During Q2-2006, the Corporation commissioned AeroQuest Limited of Milton, Ontario, to conduct a 1,117-line kilometre survey utilizing its AeroTEM II system. Within these survey blocks, 200 anomalies of interest were reported for Ni-Cu-PGM's or gold exploration on the Enid-Massey Property.
Subsequent to the airborne survey, fieldwork located several of the priority conductors, some of which were proximal to outcrops. Geochemical analyses of rock samples collected from these outcrops returned elevated values in gold, copper, nickel, zinc and PGE's, warranting the requirement of ground geophysical survey execution.
In addition to the airborne surveys, Laurion completed a detailed compilation of all of the historical work on the CEMMI, which information was used to evaluate and prioritize the conductors identified in the AeroTEM survey. Of the anomalies identified, 64 priority conductor anomalies were selected for ground follow-up evaluation based on, among other things, their geophysical responses and proximity to geological settings.
