Hemlo Explorers Inc. Stakes Highly Prospective Claims in Newfoundland
TORONTO, June 10, 2024 - Hemlo Explorers Inc. (the "Company") (CSE: HMLO) is pleased to announce that it has recently staked 153 claims for about 38 square kilometres in central Newfoundland (Figure 1). The claims are located at the southeast end of the Queensway Project, which is controlled by New Found Gold Corp. The project area covers prospective ground over a major contact between the Middle Ridge intrusive rocks and the Gander Sedimentary Group. More importantly, the claims cover a major fault zone parallel to the dominant fault structures that define the Queensway gold trend. The Company is excited to begin exploration in the contact zone as there is a strong potential for orogenic-hosted vein-style gold mineralization related to both the timing and structures hosting the Queensway Project.
Mr. Brian Howlett commented, "We are excited to add these Newfoundland claims to our project portfolio. This area is an exciting and emerging gold district that began with the discovery of the Keats Zone at the Queensway Project, and we are strategically located for exploration success. The Company plans to selectively acquire more claims as opportunities arise and begin planning an initial exploration program."
