The Scott project is located in the Chibougamau area approximately 20 km west of the town of Chibougamau. The property includes three (3) distinct blocks: the Ouje Claims, the Thundermin block and the Scott-Diagold block. The Ouje claims are 100% owned whereas the Thundermin and Diagold blocks are subject to 100% buy-out agreements.
The Scott Lake Project has seen considerable exploration activity in the mid 70's and in the late 80's following the discovery by Selco of a VMS deposit estimated by Thundermin to contain drill indicated resources of 700,000 tonnes grading 0.4% copper and 6.9% zinc to the 375 meter level. The Selco massive sulphide deposit covers a strike length of 160 meters, down to a vertical depth of 400 metres. The Scott Lake property is located on the north limb of the Chibougamau Anticline and covers 7 kilometres of strike length of felsic rocks of the Waconichi Formation. On the south limb of that same Anticline, the Waconichi hosts the past producing high grade Lemoine mine which is now part of the Company's Lemoine project. Potential to discover additional sulphide lenses at Scott Lake is considered excellent as shown by the discovery of a new massive sulphide lens by Cogitore in 2006. In addition, 2 other massive sulphide lenses have already been discovered respectively 1.2 Km and 1.7 Km west of the Selco deposit. No resources calculations are available for those two lenses and the best intersection was 1.76% Cu, 5.28% Zn and 27 g/t Ag over 4.3 metres. The potential for additional stacked mineralized horizons is also excellent as illustrated by various sulphide bearing chert horizons and stringer zones found stratigraphically above the known massive sulphide lens. In addition, widespread alteration and stringer sulphide zones have been identified over 3 kilometres, indicating the existence of an extensive and vigourous hydrothermal system of a scale consistent with the possibility of a very large VMS deposit. Thundermin has reported numerous stringer sulphide intersections in the Scott property, with the largest one returning 0.45% Cu and 0.74% Zn over a core length of 208 metres.
The focus of the exploration program will be around the new Cogitore discovery but some drilling will also be done in the rest of the property to explore other prospective areas.
