Focused on the Rice Lake Gold Belt
the “Rex System”, is characterized by surface showings of brittle, fractured mafic volcanic rocks that have been flooded with quartz and carbonate vein stockworks. Surface samples have returned gold values up to 12 g/t (0.35 oz/ton).
The Manitoba Geological Survey has recently reported on field work in the area (Report of Activities 2003, GS-24) and has highlighted the area covered by the Beresford Lake property as containing favourable rock lithologies and vein systems that are ….. “closely analogous to those hosting spectacular high-grade gold mineralization in the Red Lake mine in Ontario. The presence of this style of mineralization, which has not been documented previously, further underscores the tremendous exploration potential of the Rice Lake belt.” Additionally, the recent Geological Survey report on the Beresford Lake property includes the observation that …. “the veins and the regional iron-carbonate alteration zones that host them, are substantially similar to those that host high-grade gold mineralization in the Red Lake gold camp of Ontario.”
