Cross River Ventures Corp. Completes Lidar Survey at the McVicar Gold Project, Ontario

16.06.2021  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, June 16, 2021 - Cross River Ventures Corp. (CSE: CRVC) (FSE:C6R) (the "Company") is pleased to report that it has completed a full Lidar survey at its 100% owned McVicar Gold Project, located within the Archean Lang Lake Greenstone Belt of the Uchi Subprovince, NW Ontario, Canada.

Eagle Mapping of Langley, British Columbia, successfully completed the McVicar Lidar survey on Tuesday, June 8. Lidar, which stands for "Light Detection and Ranging", is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) to the Earth. These light pulses, combined with other data recorded by the airborne system, generate precise, three-dimensional information about the surface characteristics of the project ground.

Lidar was selected as a critical exploration tool at McVicar due to:

  1. The property has partially delineated shear-hosted gold mineralization at numerous locations,
  2. This part of NW Ontario is largely covered by a thin (1-2m) veneer of glacial till.

Tracking the extent, orientations, and width of these shear zones aids in identifying zones for follow-up prospecting, in addition to refining drill target locations. Lidar resolves bedrock structures and is used to refine the locations of significant shear zones, and more generally toward characterizing the structural architecture of the gold camp. Enhanced structural knowledge provides a framework within which the Company will prioritize drill targets.

Once the Company receives final results from this survey, ground truthing (prospecting, mapping, and sampling) of high priority targets will begin later this summer.

About the McVicar Project

Cross River's McVicar Gold Project is a district-scale (~12,000 hectares) gold exploration project that covers the main structural elements of the entire Lang Lake greenstone belt located in the Patricia Mining Division, approximately 150 km east of Red Lake, and 80 km west of Pickle Lake, in NW Ontario, Canada.

The McVicar project covers all the major fertile structural and geologic elements of the belt, which is bound to the south by the major NW trending Bear Head Fault zone (within which Golden Patricia is situated).

Historic drilling at McVicar Lake in the Altered and North Flexure Zones include (AFRI 20000007971):

  • 6.46 grams-per-tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 10.09m (including 29.86 g/t over 1.86m)
  • 5.5 g/t Au over 3.6m
  • 11.72 g/t Au over 1.52m
  • 33 g/t Au over 1.86m
  • 5.0 g/t Au over 2.74m
  • 9.3 g/t Au over 2.02m, among others**

The McVicar Lake claims also host the Chellow Vein zone, which is a narrow quartz vein that consists of smoky grey to white quartz mineralized with minor pyrite and visible gold. The vein system yielded high grade gold at surface. BHP Minerals Canada conducted exploration work in the early 1990's, returning a series of 34 channel samples that were cut normal to the vein at approximately two meter intervals along the length of the vein exposed in the trenches. The average value of the 34 samples was 28.8 g/t Au. Three samples (#1078, #1090, #1096) returned assays of:

  • 578.1 g/t Au,
  • 533.5 g/t Au, and
  • 412.5 g/t Au, respectively

Limited drill testing below the known showings in the early 1990's didn't yield significant gold assay values; however, the Cross River technical team believe the Chellow Vein is hosted in a much broader (1-2km wide) high-strain or deformation zone characterized by a series of parallel-trending shears that have not been systematically tested.
