Argentia Ridge Property

The 100% owned Argentia Ridge Property consists of 14 contiguous mining claim blocs comprising 96 claim units. The Argentia Ridge property is located within South Lorrain Township (Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario), and is located about 2.5 km south of the abandoned mining town of Silver Centre.

Historically, South Lorrain Township has produced some 23,338,906 ounces of silver. Production has mainly come from the first 300 feet of metavolcanic rocks that overlay a gently dipping western flank of a Nipissing Gabbro intrusive. Similar geology is repeated on the Argentia Ridge property where more than 5 kilometres of prospective strike length covers the metavolcanic and Nipissing Gabbro contact. The property is also underlain by metavolcanics, making the property prospective for base metals.

Numerous pits and past exploration and productions shafts exists on the Property. Furthermore, the Property, which is located within the Lake Timiskaming Structural Zone (LTSZ), has potential to host diamondiferous kimberlite, as it is situated along and between several of the major fault systems in the region including the Timiskaming, Montreal River, Latchford, and Cross Lake faults. Faults that comprise the LTSZ extend from the Ottawa Valley in a northwest direction. The LTSZ and its various fault systems are major controlling factors in the emplacement of ~150 Ma diamondiferous kimberlitic bodies along the Timiskaming Rift.
