Kenwest: Overview
Location
- Located within the Boyer Lake Area 35 kilometres south of Dryden.
- 32 patented mining claims and 10 mining licenses of occupation covering 599 hectares.
Geology
- Located along the northeastern portion of the Manitou Straits Deformation Zone and the south limb of the Manitou Antiform.
- Gold associated with felsic dykes, quartz veins, sheared volcanic rocks, porphyry intrusions. Five parallel shear structures.
- Adjacent to the Elora property, the combined holdings encompass an 800 metre wide zone, which contains a number of highly prospective gold bearing structures. A 4.5 kilometre long section of favourable structures hosts three past producing mines and nine other shafts with unreported production. The high density of shafts in this area is a very positive indicator of the exploration potential.
Historical
- Mining at the Big Master Mine occurred between 1900 - 1906 and again between 1942 - 1943. (Click here for historical photo of Big Master Mine)
- Approximately 2,500 ounces of gold were produced at a grade of 6.2 g/t Au.
- Underground mining on four levels with a 440 metre long exploration drift at the 180 metre level. Click here for historical 400 foot level plan of drift (south plus north-east with drill results)
- Other shafts on the Kenwest Project include the Helena, Selby Lake, Paymaster and Gold Rock.

Exploration Program and Assay Highlights
- Prospecting, mapping, line cutting, ground magnetometer and induced polarization surveys
- 53.7 kg/t Au (53,700 g/t Au) over 0.55m
- Approximately 19,387 metres drilled (104 diamond drill holes) as of September 2012.
