Garner Property
Property Description
The Garner property is comprised of 12 claims covering 2,285 hectares located approximately 33 km southeast of Bissett between Provincial Road 304 and the Ontario border, in which the Company holds a 100% interest. The west half of the property contains a section of the Beresford Lake shear zone along which the Company has obtained gold concentrations of up to 150 g/t from chip samples.
Within the Garner Lake property, three gold occurrences, hosted within quartz-carbonate veins, were discovered by Wildcat: Marlin, Swordfish and an unnamed occurrence. All of these occur on a 500 metre long structure. The gold mineralization, hosted within quartz-carbonate veins, is open along strike to the north and south. Gold concentrations of up to 153 g/tonne were found in grab samples along this structure.
Significant gold mineralization was also recently discovered in the southwestern corner of the property, the Garner West showing. The Garner West area comprises an area of anomalous gold and arsenic approximately 400 metres along strike and 200 metres wide. Gold concentrations of up to 3.77 g/tonne were obtained in grab samples from this area.
Kambalda type nickel ore deposits are a class of nickel-copper ore deposit associated with ultramafic komatiitic volcanic rocks of Archean age. On the Garner Property, in the northern claims area, a thick sequence of ultramafic komatiite / komatiitic basalt overlying a silicate-sulphide iron formation may represent a geological setting favorable for Kambalda type nickel-copper mineralization.
Activities in 2009
There were no exploration activities in 2009
Activities Contemplated for 2010
Wildcat will continue to evaluate the mineral potential of this property by prospecting and sampling. The contact of komatiites with surrounding rocks will be investigated and geochemically tested to determine whether there is evidence of chemical interaction. The presence of such interaction would indicate a good potential for Ni Cu sulphide accumulations.
Negotiations with the Provincial Geological Survey and the University of Waterloo to launch a joint study of the Garner Lake area gold mineralization will be initiated, subject to identifying a suitable candidate for the fieldwork.
