OVERVIEW

 

Acqusition of Guyenne

The Guyenne Property consists of 7 claims situated approximately 40 kilometers northwest of Amos, Quebec, which is northwest of Val-d’Or in the prolific Abitibi Mining District.  This property was optioned to us by Globex Mining Enterprises Inc., as announced in our September 4, 2012 press release.  The option allows us to earn a 50% interest in Guyenne over a three-year period.

 

Exploration History and Plans

Previous drilling in 1988, performed by Abbey Exploration Inc., showed promising results including 0.173 ozt Au over 20.3 feet (5.38 g/t Au over 6.2 m) from Hole #88-N-4.  A program of line cutting, geological mapping and ground geophysics is planned by us, to be followed by diamond drilling.
