![GeoNovus Acquires Claims That Include the Historic Shakespeare Gold Mine, Ontario](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The Corona Project consists of 95 contiguous mining claims covering roughly 1,520 hectares, and is located in the Baldwin and Shakespeare Townships, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario. The historic mine is situated in northeast-trending folded ~2.4 billion-year old Huronian Supergroup, intruded by the ~2.21 billion-year old Nipising diabase dikes and sills, and the ~1.1 billion-year old northwest-trending Keweenawan diabase dikes. The Murray Fault is a regional structure that strikes ENE and passes 300 meters north of the mine. The mineralized zone is broadly concordant with the schistose Matinenda Formation, consisting of quartzite and greywacke that also trends ENE and dips steeply to the south. Historic sampling in the mine area reported 1.12-1.85 ounces per ton over an average width of one meter (see Ontario Geological Survey Mineral Deposits Circular 18, 1979, part 2, 294p.). The Corona Project claim package was assembled to enclose the ENE-trending Matinenda Formation that hosts mineralization, including the down-dip projection of the ore zone at the Shakespeare Mine. A collection of in-house reports and data included in the acquisition are presently undergoing review, and will be used to guide exploration in the immediate future.
To acquire the Corona Project, GeoNovus will issue 1,500,000 shares of the Company to the vendor and incur $300,000 in exploration expenditures over two years, plus grant a 2% NSR to the vendor of which the Company can purchase back 1% for $2 million. During phase one of the acquisition period, the vendor will function as operator for the project.
