About the Dale Property
The Dale Property was acquired on June 1, 2012 by ground staking (Ontario Gazette) after the Algoma -
Talisman's appeal failed in December 2010, reverting several townships back to the crown. Due to the history
of the land tenure, Dale Township was privately held and unavailable for conventional staking and prospecting.
The area was staked due to its structural and regional relationships with other gold occurrences and an
anomalous gold in till, down ice glacial outwash leading back to the Dale Stock. Other anomalous gold in glacial
till outwash lead back to historic gold mines supporting the potential of undiscovered gold potential in the Dale
Stock.
The Dale Township itself was first acquired by Algoma-Talisman as part of the Algoma Eastern Railway. Prior to
the Dale and other townships reverting to the Crown. Placer Dome Canada Limited (PDCL) completed the most
extensive exploration program in Dale Township to date, which included an airborne magnetic-electromagnetic
(EM) survey, followed with a ground campaign.
