2015 Exploration Work
In 2015, it is proposed to complete geophysical surveys on the Casagosic, Vezza North, Bell Vezza and Sinclair-Bruneau properties. A total of 54 kilometres of IP and 20 kilometres of ground mag surveys with a 200 metres spacing should be completed by the end of May. Results will be released following final report receiving which is scheduled for June. In addition, 2014 field prospecting work reports for the Bachelor Extension and Florence properties will be completed and filed for assessment purpose with the MRN of Quebec later this summer.
The Casa-Cameron Project
The Casa Cameron Project includes nine (9) gold properties: (1) Casagosic, (2) KLM, (3) Vezza North, (4) Vezza Extension, (5) Bell-Vezza, (6) Sinclair-Bruneau, (7) Florence, (8) Cere-113 and (9) Bachelor Extension (Figure 1). The Properties totaling 480 claims are 100% owned by Adventure Gold, however 74 claims on the Sinclair Bruneau property are subject to a 2% NSR royalty and 43 claims of Florence are subject to a 1% NSR royalty in favour of third parties. The properties are located north of La Sarre, Amos and Lebel-sur-Quevillon, in the northwest region of the province of Quebec and they are accessible all season by paved and gravel roads.
The properties straddles segment of the major Casa-Berardi/Cameron gold break between the Casa-Berardi Gold Mine (proven and probable reserves of 8.5 Mt at 4.9 g/t Au for 1.3M ounces, measured and indicated resources of 10 Mt at 4.2 g/t Au for 1.3M ounces and inferred resources of 3.3Mt at 5.5 g/t Au for 604,000 ounces - Hecla Mining (formerly Aurizon Mines), press release February 12, 2015) and the Bachelor Gold Mine (also currently in operation by Metanor Resources with proven and probable reserves of 843,800 t at 7.4 g/t Au for 200,200 ounces and inferred resources of 426,100 t at 6.5 g/t Au for 89,400 ounces - Metanor Resources, NI 43-101, April 26, 2011). All the properties contain already identified gold-bearing zones and most of them are also strategically located adjacent and in strike to significant gold mines or deposits (see the Company''s press release dated December 12, 2013).
Very few modern exploration works were completed on the properties from the 1990''s to 2008, when Adventure Gold started to acquire the properties. Gold exploration work conducted by Adventure Gold since then returned very encouraging results and many valuable drill targets were outlined (see the Company''s press release dated June 11, 2013 and the technical report (the "Report") which will be filed by GFK on SEDAR in connection with the transaction and prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101")). As described in the Report, the geological setting of the Casa-Cameron properties appears very favorable for the identification of new high-grade gold-bearing structures or bulk-style deposits. Past exploration work did not entirely test the numerous gold occurrences and many positive historical drilling intersections need follow-up drilling. In addition, new geophysical surveys outlined also quality drilling targets. The authors of the Report recommend significant exploration work including a drilling program totalling 21,000 m including 8,000 m in a first phase (see the Report available on the Company''s website).
Mr. Jules Riopel, Vice-President Exploration and Acquisitions of Adventure Gold acting as the qualified person (as defined by NI 43-101) reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release. He is supervising the work program on the Casa-Cameron properties.
