Nova Project

 

The Nova Project (2,080 hectares) is one of three Pancon projects in the Montcalm Greenstone Belt. Located 19 kilometres southwest of Glencore’s former Montcalm Mine, which previously mined 3.9 million tonnes of Ni-Co-Cu ore and produced more than 4 million pounds of cobalt (Ontario Geological Survey, Atkinson 2011), the Nova Project covers a portion of the eastern boundary of a major regional structure known as the Kapuskasing High (also known as Kap High).

 

Very little exploration has been conducted on this structure until recently, leading up to Goldcorp’s recent announcement of plans to develop its Borden Lake Gold Mine, located in the Kap High.
