The Neverfreeze Lake Project

The Neverfreeze Lake Project encompasses a relatively unexplored region of Northwestern Ontario near Savant Lake. The area was selected as a priority exploration opportunity following several years’ examination of the regional geology and updated magnetic and electromagnetic surveys covering the region.
 
The project area hosts some of the strongest coincident electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies documented by regional geophysical surveys in the entire Sturgeon Lake – Savant Lake greenstone belt. These anomalies correlate with extensive sulfide lenses, including massive sulfides. The project encompasses an area with syn-volcanic structures that bound basin-and graben-like formations infilled with abundant volcanic and sedimentary rocks, and exhalites that include extensive sulfide lenses intermixed with volcanic, intrusive and metasedimentary rocks (See map).
 
The project area includes abundant geophysical anomalies and known sulphide-bearing rocks, including substantial drill intercepts of massive sulphides in several shallow holes (up to 93 feet, 28.3m of massive sulfide) with minor Cu and Zn, (up to 0.65% Zn over 20 feet). Much of the historic sulfide-bearing core, including the massive sulfide intercepts were apparently not assayed in spite of the reported presence of zinc and copper bearing minerals (sphalerite and chalcopyrite). In spite of this early success, very little drilling was actually carried out, and no exploration is recorded for this area since 1978.
 
The most recent high-resolution geophysical surveys, not available at the time of historic drilling, indicate that the most significant targets of a series of very strong EM and magnetic anomalies in the project area remain mostly untested. . The project area has anomalous Zn, Cu, Co and Ni in lake-bottom sediments, including the second highest zinc values and highest Co values in a ~3000 km2 survey of the Savant Lake greenstone belt.
