White Metal Resources Corp. (TSX-V:WHM) is engaged in exploration in Canada, particularly within the provinces of Ontario and Newfoundland. Currently the main focus is on its 100% owned
Gunners Cove Property located 20 km north of St. Anthony on the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland.
The Gunners Cove Property, is a new precious metals discovery with no previous work completed other than selective grab samples collected during previous limited prospecting programs. Precious and base metal mineralization is associated with pyrite-rich accumulations/nodules in graphitic argillaceous black shale. Selective grab samples have returned assay values as high as 5.86 g/t gold, 8.0 g/t silver, 0.13% copper, and 375 ppm molybdenum.
The style of mineralization at the Gunners Cove Property is very unique and is quite possibly the only project of its kind in Canada, with anomalous gold, silver and base metals, in this type of geological environment. Although there is still much to learn about the geological environment of the property, there are some global
examples of significant gold projects hosted or associated with nodular pyrite-bearing black shale units, which
may have some similarities to the Gunners Cove property. Anomalous gold in nodular pyrite hosted by black shale occur in association with the Kalgoorlie Goldfields gold deposits, Australia, the Sokio Log deposit in Russia and the Moro do Ouro/Paracatu deposit in Brazil.
Based on positive sampling results to date, an airborne and radiometric survey is proposed over the property to assist in tracing the prospective gold bearing horizon along strike.
In Ontario, the Shebandowan Property located 100km west of the city of Thunder Bay hosts two historic (Non-43-101 compliant) resources known as the East and West Vanguard. The East Vanguard hosts 100,000 tonnes of 1.8%Cu, 4.5% Cu, 6.8g/t Ag, and 5g/t Au. The West Vanguard hosts 200,000 tonnes of 1.3%Cu, 1.5% Zn, 8.62g/t Ag and 4g/t Au.
Currently White Metal has an option agreement with Benton Resources securing a strategic land package in the Shebandowan Belt and enlarging its holdings substantially. White Metal has completed soil sampling, prospecting, mapping and trenching of some of the favourable targets. A drill program is scheduled for early 2018 to test some of the target areas. It should be noted that immediately south of the White Metal claims, Wesdome Gold Mines has completed a large diamond drill program in the East Coldstream Deposit area which hosts 34 million tonnes of 0.79g/t Au, and the Moss Lake deposit which hosts 100.2 million tonnes of 1.1g/t Au.
The Company also has an extensive land position in the Pickle Area which includes the South Limb Property located within kilometers of the Town of Pickle Lake. This property is directly on strike with the Donna Lake Mine which produced 0.22 million ounces gold. The target on this property is an interpreted fold nose within iron formation similar to the Au mineralization found at the Dona Lake mine. White Metal also has two other properties that are located west of the Town of Pickle Lake known as the Kasagiminnis and Dorothy Dobie properties. The Kasagiminnis Property hosts a Non-43-101 resource of 400,400 ounces of gold. West of the Kasagiminnis Property is Barrack Gold’s Golden Patricia mine which produced 500,000 ounces at an average grade of 20g/t Au. West and along strike of the Golden Patricia mine is the Dorothy Dobie Property. This property has several Non-43-101 compliant resources such as the Dobie Zone which host 300,000 tonnes of 5g/t Au and the Main Zone which host 230,000 tonnes of 6.17 g/t Au. All of the Pickle Lake area properties are currently under option to Ardiden Ltd.
