ROCK EDGE – WORK UNDERWAY AT PAGWACHUAN NORTH
Vancouver, British Columbia, May 18, 2023: Rock Edge Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Rock
Edge”) (CSE:REDG) is pleased to announce the Company has commenced its 2023 field programs
on their Maun, Terrier and Pag North properties located in northwestern Ontario.
Work is currently underway on th e Pag North property, located 30 km southeast of Longlac,
Ontario. The Property is being mapped and prospected for its rare -element pegmatite hosted
mineralization and gold potential. Efforts are underway to identify and sample pegmatites as well
as explore for possible gold mineralization.
The recently expanded Pag North properties (see April 17, 2023 press release) provides a large
prospective property which straddles the boundary between the East Wabigoon and Quetico
subprovinces. These terrane bounda ries are integrally related to the location of northwestern
Ontario lithium deposits and occurrences, as the act as deep-seated sutures for parental granitic
melts (Breaks et al., 2003). A muscovite -bearing granite is host to the Property, an S -type
peraluminous fertile parental granite according to Breaks et al., 2003 and in contact with
metasediments which make excellent hosts for pegmatites. The faults that transect the Property
provide excellent pathways for granitic melts and pegmatite deposition. Th e boundary is also
favorable to host gold mineralization and there are several gold showings from historical Ontario
Geological Survey (OGS) mappings.
To date, prospecting has uncovered several pegmatite dykes ranging in size from 0.5 to 15 m or
more (Phot o 1 and 2). Overburden stripping will need to be completed to determine actual
widths. The pegmatites are typically white to yellowish in colour. Quartz and plagioclase graphic
crystal intergrowth with subordinate muscovite (sometimes abundant), tourmaline , biotite and
garnet are recognizable minerals in outcrop with possible beryl and a black mineral possibly
identified as tantalite or columbite. These are favourable indicator minerals for possible
fractionating rare -element pegmatites from a fertile paren tal melt. Analytical results will be
needed to confirm rare-element levels. Sampling has been completed utilizing a rock saw.
Charles Desjardins, CEO of Rock Edge, states , “It didn’t take long after beginning boots on the
ground prospecting and sampling t o uncover previously undocumented pegmatites. We couldn’t
be more pleased and excited. This is testament to just how unexplored the area is for rare-element
pegmatites, and we look forward to continued prospecting on this Property and receiving
analytical results”.
