About the Oxford Gold Project
Big Ridge Gold's 100% owned Oxford Gold Project is located in central Manitoba, approximately 160km
southwest of Thompson. The property contains many high priority targets that will be the focus of near-
term exploration work. The Rusty Gold deposit is hosted by banded iron formation and has a historic
resource* of 800,000 tonnes, grading 6g/t Au and contains approximately 154,000 oz. Au.
The Blue Jay area, another iron-formation gold target approximately two kilometres on trend and to the
east of the Rusty Deposit has had limited but extremely positive results. RUS12-03 intersected two zones
of high-grade gold mineralization: Zone One - 2.7 m averaging 6.7 g/t gold and Zone Two - 6.8 m averaging
5.7 g/t gold. Gold mineralization at both the Rusty Gold Deposit and the Blue Jay Zone is open along strike
and to depth, Figure 1.
*The resource was estimated in 1990 and a Qualified Person (QP), as defined by NI43-101, has not done sufficient work to
classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources. Big Ridge is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral
resources, as defined by NI43-101, and thus the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
Rick Mazur, P.Geo., Big Ridge’s Director and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43 -101, has
