The Black Dog Lake Property is comprised of 19 contiguous mineral claims covering 1,003 hectares, located 150 km east of James Bay, Quebec. The Property includes the historical Black Dog Lake (Lac Hudson) Gold Showing, discovered in 1988 by Eastmain Resources Ltd. The showing consists of an auriferous sulphide-facies iron formation and was subsequently tested by four (4) drill holes in the immediate area (Shelp 1989; report GM49584). The drilling yielding several prospective gold intersections at the occurrence including 15.2 g/t Au and 22.3 g/t Ag over 0.6 m (LH-88-01); 5.62 g/t Au over 1.1 m (LH-88-02); and 4.32 g/t Au over 0.88 m (LH-88-03). In 1995, Eastmain Resources completed three (3) widely spaced drill holes as follow-up, with narrow intervals of auriferous iron formation encountered in each, including 3.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m (LH-95-01). The drilling successfully expanded the mineralized zone and continued exploration was recommended (report GM54627). In 2014, surface exploration in the area by Virginia Mines Inc. concluded there was potential for additional gold occurrences to be present, and recommended a “rigorous” prospecting program, as well as geophysics and continued drill testing (Lavoie 2014; report GM68876).
The gold mineralization at Black Dog is associated with high sulphide content (semi-massive) and reported to be magnetic and conductive (Shelp 1989; report GM49584) making it potentially traceable using high-resolution surface and airborne geophysical survey methods.
Exploration of the Property by the Company is expected to focus on two (2), kilometre-scale target areas with reported sulphide-facies iron formations, including Black Dog Lake (Lac Hudson), which parallel the contact with the Archean granitoid Mistumis Batholith at the southern boundary of the Property.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include unsuccessful exploration results, changes in metals prices, changes in the availability of funding for mineral exploration, unanticipated changes in key management personnel and general economic conditions. Mining is an inherently risky business. Accordingly, the actual events may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
