About
the
Labrador Properties:
Nikos has signed a Letter of Intent under which the Company has the option to acquire 100% of the 740 square kilometre (km
2
)
Ashuanipi property in northwest Labrador as well as a right of first refusal for the Nain (503 km
2
) and Hopedale Greenstone (458
km
2
) properties in central Labrador.
The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville, which is linked by
rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment gold anomalies that, with the
exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program. Recent regional geological
mapping in the area by the Newfoundland and Labrador Geological Survey has highlighted the gold potential of the region and
historical work 30km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres
(not true width). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with metamorphosed iron formation.
The Nain gold project comprises three claim blocks, two of which lie along the Nain-Churchill terrane boundary. One of the claim
blocks, Sneegamook, has the largest and most intense gold in lake sediment anomaly in Labrador, but no known gold
exploration has taken place in the area. The targets on the Nain project are orogenic gold mineralization, similar to that found in
the Aucoin gold prospect to the north, which is also located at the terrane boundary.
The Hopedale greenstone properties cover much of the Hopedale greenstone belt that stretches over 80km. The belt is typical of
greenstone belts around the world, but has been underexplored by comparison. Historical exploration did result in a gold
showing of up to 4 g/t Au, but no significant gold exploration has been undertaken since the discovery.
