Vendome Resources Acquires Additional Mining Claims at Ivanhoe Lake
The claims are located approximately 50 km east of Probe Mines Ltd.’s (TSXV:PRB) Borden Lake Gold Zone which contains a pit-constrained Indicated Resource of 3,686,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.02 g/t Au and an additional Inferred Resource of 625,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.08 g/t Au (www.probeminerals.com). Probe has recently completed a drill program to expand on this resource and in particular, to outline a high grade sub-zone internal to the larger resource.
Vendome Chief Executive Officer John Priestner commented, “We believe the Ivanhoe Lake Project to have strategic significance in our path forward. This acquisition closes a land gap between our western boundary and the eastern boundary of a series of land claims which were staked by Mr. Michael A. Tremblay, the prospector generally credited with Probe’s Borden Lake gold discovery. These claims are located directly northeast of Probe’s East Limb property. We are very excited about our future in the Borden Lake Gold District, in part because of our proximity to the Probe discovery and because of the unique anomaly which is contained within our borders. It excites us that as recently as four weeks ago, Probe raised $26 million, which in our opinion further validates the merits of the region. Our property is drill ready.”
Geologically, the Ivanhoe Property is located in the western portion of the Swayze Greenstone belt, proximal to the Kapuskasing High metamorphic terrain. It is underlain by rocks typical of the Timmins gold camp, and includes variably altered and deformed mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks, intermixed with Timiskaming-type conglomerates and porphyry intrusives. The Destor Porcupine Fault Zone, which is spatially associated with the prolific Timmins Gold camp, has been interpreted to extend across the Ivanhoe Property. Ivanhoe is accessible by a major highway, by railway, and by forest access roads.
