The newly-staked claims tie on to the west side of the current 575 square kilometre claim block bringing the total area of the project claims to approximately 673 square kilometres.
The newly-staked claims cover the western extension of the Pistol Bay Corridor, which is a 2 kilometre wide, northwest-trending, deformation zone which contains multiple gold occurrences including the Vickers, Sako, and Bazooka Targets. The expanded property area extends the staked strike length of the Pistol Bay Corridor from 35 to 50 kilometres. The area within the newly-staked claims also includes a northeast-trending cluster of four documented gold occurrences which all fall within the Pistol Bay Corridor. Government assessment records indicate that the cluster of gold occurrences is related to a 2.5 kilometre long shear zone containing quartz-carbonate veins and disseminated sulphide mineralization within coarse conglomeratic sedimentary rocks, diorite, and basalt.
Northquest is a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of properties for the mining of gold and other minerals. Northquest has 30,318,323 shares outstanding (43,117,535 shares on a fully diluted basis).
