Rice Lake Gold Belt, Manitoba   Gold

 

Our exploration goal for the Wyatt claims is the discovery of near surface shear hosted gold mineralization in the Rice Lake Gold Belt. The Company acquired an 8 km long land package that was staked to cover a new type of gold occurrence discovered by government geologist undertaking detailed mapping of the area. New gold occurrences recently uncovered on the adjacent property reported surface grab samples of up to 156 g/t gold.

 

 

Target

The target is gold-bearing arsenopyrite mineralization in a shear zone.

 

 

Location

The property is situated in the Gem Lake area and is approximately 40 km by gravel highway from the town of Bissett where there is an operating gold mill. Two former logging roads cross the property.

 

 

History

The regional shear zone on the property has seen little historical exploration. Overgrown trenches blasted over a one metre wide quartz vein, outside of the shear zone contains visible gold. The arsenopyrite mineralization in the shear zone has not been explored previously. A two week stripping and sampling program by Wildcat Explorations on the adjacent property discovered a number of high-grade gold-bearing quartz veins in the shear zone.

 

Harvest Gold Corp.'s initial two week program in October 2005 revealed abundant arsenopyrite and pyritic mineralization in the shear zone on the Wyatt claims.

 
 

Geological Setting

The rocks in this part of the Rice Lake Belt are similar in age to those that host the San Antonio, Central Manitoba, Beresford Lake and other gold mines. The mineralization on the two claims occurs in a northerly tending shear zone that parallels the regional structures hosting high-grade gold deposits in the Beresford Lake area to the north of the property.

 

The mineralized shear on the Lesavage claims cuts through a large folded gabbro and mafic volcanic rocks; similar rocks are commonly host to high-grade gold mineralization in this part of the Rice Lake Belt. Gold-bearing arsenopyrite associated with carbonate and silica alteration is a new type of mineralization in the Rice Lake Belt and its occurrence on both the Harvest Gold and Wildcat Explorations portions of the shear zone is quite significant.

 

The Rice Lake Belt is an established gold camp with over 1.7 million ounces produced. The Rice Lake Greenstone Belt is one of the most important gold-producing areas in Manitoba. The San Antonio mine and mill are expected to reopen in late 2005. It is our belief, based on historical records and recent high-grade gold mineralization discoveries that the area is under explored and, highly prospective for gold deposits.
