Mineral Exploration Properties
McLaren currently holds a 100 percent interest in the Blue Quartz, McCool and Kerrs gold exploration properties located east of Timmins, Ontario.
The Blue Quartz property is located in Beatty Township 73 km east of Timmins and neighbors the Fox Mine, the Fenn-Gib project and the former producing Ross Mine. The property hosts the former producing Blue Quartz Gold Mine and consists of patented claims and staked claims covering an area of 640 ha. The property abuts immediately to the south of the Goldarm Gold Property owned by GFG Resources Inc. ("GFG") where GFG recently announced extremely encouraging gold results with abundant visible gold from drilling on their Aljo Target, including 13.94 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 7.1 m (see GFG news release issued on August 19, 2024).
Selected drill results from diamond drilling on the Blue Quartz property by McLaren include 14.0 g/t Au over 2.0m, 12.8 g/t Au over 1.5m, 13.3 g/t Au over 1.0m and 11.9 g/t Au over 2.2m (see McLaren news release issued on February 14, 2019).
The McCool property is located in McCool Township 85 km east of Timmins and neighbors the Tower Gold project, the Fenn-Gib project and the Holt Mine Complex. The property is on the north side of the Destor Porcupine Fault and covers 5 km of the Centre Hill Fault. The property consists of a mining lease and claim cells with an area of 1,770 ha.
Selected drill results from diamond drilling on the McCool property by McLaren include 16.5 g/t Au over 6.0m, 10.8 g/t Au over 9.0m, 7.9 g/t Au over 4.5 m and 58.4 g/t Au over 1.5 m (see McLaren news release issued on January 24, 2023).
The Kerrs property is located in Kerrs Township approximately 15 km north of the McCool property and consists of mining leases covering an area of 771 ha. Previous historical work on the property during the mid-1980s included 10,279 m of diamond drilling in 55 holes. The drilling was focused on an exploration target area that is an extension of a gold mineralized trend from the adjacent property to the east, known as the KBX Zone which is owned by Sheltered Oak Resources Inc.
McLaren intends to continue exploration work, including diamond drilling, on its portfolio of prospective gold properties in the coming months.
