Marvel Expands Baie Verte By 11,275 Hectares, Initiates Airborne Surveys, Newfoundland
VANCOUVER, November 9, 2021 - Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSXV:MARV)(Frankfurt:O4T1)(OTCQB:MARVF); (the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on its 100% owned Baie Verte Project, located in Western Newfoundland. Through a combination of staking and purchase agreements, Marvel has acquired an additional 451 claims, 11,275 hectares along the Baie Verte Brompton Line (BVBL), bringing the total size of the Baie Verte Project to 40,900 hectares and covering a 70km strike length along the BVBL corridor.
This new staking is contiguous to the Sassy Resources Cape Ray project, and like the Cape Ray project, these new claims cover an area with little historical exploration. Structural analysis of regional magnetic datasets suggests a complex area marked by numerous fault splays from the Baie Verte Brompton Line, a crustal scale deep seated fault. The Baie Verte Brompton Line (BVBL) is a documented continental scale suture which separates the Humber Zone Terrane to the West from the central Newfoundland Dunnage Zone to the east. Importantly all of Newfoundland's existing gold production comes from mines on the Baie Verte Peninsula, Anaconda Mining Inc.'s Point Rousse and Rambler Metals Mining Operations, both of which are in close proximity to the BVBL.
Marvel also reports it has contracted Balch Exploration Consulting Inc. (BECI) to conduct a high-resolution magnetic gradiometer survey scheduled to commence this week. The survey will aid in a detailed litho-structural analysis of the entire project area. BECI provides a state-of-art acquisition system with an airframe design based on a high drag principle to keep the sensors on-line and without the need for magnetic compensation resulting in the highest quality total magnetic intensity and gradiometer data.
Marvel's Chief Executive Officer Karim Rayani commented, "The Baie Verte Line Project is an area which really excites us. The entire Baie Verte Peninsula has been staked and Marvel is the only company, apart from Shawn Ryan and Sassy Resources, who have considered the potential of this prolific structure which spans the entire province from the Baie Verte Peninsula to the extreme southwestern tip of the province. We are excited to announce the commencement of the first ever High Resolution Magnetic Gradiometry survey along this underexplored area of the BVBL. Our prospecting teams are ready to commence exploration along the structural features and targets we believe will be highlighted by this state of the art airborne survey."
Airborne magnetic data provide the means to interpret geologic structure and lithology variations in areas with little to no outcrop. In regions where basement outcrop is minimal and petrophysical contrasts exist between different geological units, the data can offer the potential to "see undercover" and their interpretation can minimize risk and vector exploration efforts to those areas of high merit in real-time. BECI is able to provide both raw and processed data on a daily basis, working closely with our ground team in their efforts to perform detailed target analysis.
