Golden Darling Gold Project
The 100% owned Boston Creek Gold Project comprises 10 claims totaling 74 units situated in the southern part of Boston Township in the Larder Lake area of the Superior Province of Ontario. The total size of the claim group is 456 Ha in size (1,128 acres)
The first discovery of gold in Boston Township was made in 1914 on what is called the Kenzie vein which is located on Pro Minerals Boston Creek Gold Project. Development at the Boston Creek Gold Project had ceased due to WWI until recent acquisition and field work by Pro Minerals. In 1916 an inclined shaft was sunk to 200 feet in depth with 750 feet of lateral development on the 100 and 200 foot levels. On the 100 foot level drifting was completed 250 feet to the east and 175 feet to the west and on the 300 foot level, drifting was done 90 feet to the east and 190 feet to the west. The development work completed by these mining operations indicated that the ore occurred in shoots in the vein which ranges up to 5 feet in width. The vein strikes 030° and dips 65° to the south. The vein is described as consisting of quartz of several generations, silicified mafic volcanics, reddish calcite and brecciated and altered feldspar porphyry. The mineralization is potentially related to the intrusion of the feldspar porphyry dyke or the dyke and the gold may have been introduced along an existing structure. The gold occurs generally in very fine grained greenish quartz whose color is due to the presence of fine grained chlorite. Pyrite is the common sulphide but chalcopyrite, galena and molybdenite are present in lesser amounts. Thin sections show that the gold is associated with the pyrite in chlorite and calcite seams near the footwall of the quartz rich parts of the vein. Values of up to 1 ounce gold have been reported from the mineralized parts of the Kenzie vein. High grade gold showings were obtained from the 28 foot shaft on the western end of the vein and finely disseminated gold can be seen in many samples in the dump. A sampling program of the waste dumps was completed in May 2004 and anomalous values as high as 59.0 g/t Au where obtained. These grades substantiate the historical information on the property. A Geophysical Magnetometer program was undertaken on the property in 2007 on claims over an area of 7.87 km. A trenching and sampling program was then undertaken on the property from March 22nd to the 23rd of 2009. An outcrop shoveled off in March 2009 was a long trench that was drilled and blasted consisting of a quartz filled sheer zone approximately 1.5m (5 feet). In 2009 prospecting, a strong quartz shear on strike was identified and recommended to be further prospected and sampled. The strike on the vein is 300 degrees.
The R.A.P. Syndicate area in the southern part of the property has been the subject of gold mining activity in the early 20th century and the northern part of Boston Township contains the former Adam’s Mine, an iron ore producer which ceased operations in the 1980s. A small gold deposit (in the order of 150,000 ounces) is known to exit on property held by Marshall Minerals to the east of the Boston Creek Gold Project.
A report prepared for Pro Minerals by J Atkinson Consulting dated March 25, 2011 recommended that as a preliminary effort the data from the airborne geophysical surveys that have been completed by the Ontario Government be obtained and a detailed interpretation be prepared for the area covered by the Boston Creek Claim Group.
The property is 16 kilometers southeast of the town Kirkland Lake, Ontario in the prolific gold producing area known as the Abitibi Greenstone Belt (AGB). The property can be accessed by vehicle 16 km southeast of Kirkland Lake, Ontario by travelling 12km on highway #112, then 6 km on highway #564 to the village of Boston Creek whereby logging roads are accessible throughout the claims. This property has an excellent potential for a small to medium sized high grade gold deposit
