| East Bull Lake PGM Property
Property Profile:
Trench at East Bull
Exploration by Mustang
Mineral Exploration History Limited activity took place between 1950 and 1962 involving a number of mining and exploration companies that were exploring a portion of the property for copper and nickel deposits. The potential for PGM deposits on the property was not considered until the late 1980's, by which time the central part of the property (including the Moon Lake Target area) had been withdrawn from staking. In 1990, the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development provided funds to Laurentian University to study the mineral potential of intrusive rocks between Sudbury and Elliot Lake. These studies focused mainly on the East Bull Lake Intrusive. From 1990 to 1995 fieldwork including geological mapping, sampling (over 1,000 samples), and analysis of Atomic Energy of Canada's drill core was completed. Metallurgical and petrographic studies were also completed. The 1993 Ontario Geological Survey Reports concluded that the "potential exists for extremely large tonnages of sulphide mineralization, perhaps even massive sulphides (along the floor of the intrusion), which have platinum-group element-enrichment levels equating to reef environments." Drill Results
Recent Exploration & Summary Mustang completed
a VTEM survey over the property in 2007. The company
announced May 2008 that it is drilling in the area
of the Parisien Lake Deformation Zone The East Bull Lake Property is a large, highly prospective exploration target for platinum group metals. To date, widespread PGM
mineralization has been encountered in drill core
and by surface sampling. |
