Coldwell West

The Coldwell West property encompasses the western margin of the Proterozoic Coldwell alkaline complex, located on the north shore of Lake Superior. The Coldwell Complex is part of the Keweenawan igneous rocks that were emplaced around and adjacent to the Mid-continent Rift (MCR) system. The MCR system hosts several Ni-Cu-PGE deposits including, Tamarack, Eagle, The Duluth Complex, Crystal Lake, Thunder Bay North and the Marathon-PGM deposit which is hosted by the Two Duck Lake gabbro along the eastern margin of the Coldwell complex. The western margin of the Coldwell complex, which this property encompasses has been identified to host Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in the historic Renshaw-Tripp and Moneta occurrences which are located within and adjacent to southern portion of the property respectively. The majority of Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization identified in the Coldwell complex is hosted by the Eastern Gabbro which rings the eastern and northern margins of the complex. Within the underexplored western margin of the complex is the Western Gabbro which is under documented but has the potential to host significant Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization as the eastern gabbro and is the main target for exploration. The Coldwell complex also has the potential to host REE in syenite rocks that form the bulk of the interior of the complex and historically these syenites have been quarried for building stone.
