Labrador Gold is a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of gold projects in the Americas. The proceeds of the placement will be used primarily to fund exploration at the company’s Kingsway project and its Hopedale project.
In March, the company acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project, situated in the Gander area of Newfoundland. The Kingsway licences cover approximately 16km of the Appleton fault zone which has been associated with gold occurrences in the region.
Providing an update on the Kingsway project in mid-May, Labrador Gold CEO and President Roger Moss said: “Historical exploration and more recent work has clearly demonstrated the potential of the Kingsway project for the discovery of orogenic gold deposits associated with deep-seated structures. The presence of the Appleton and Dog Bay structures on the property with evidence of gold in till, vegetation, soil, stream sediments, lake sediments and float suggest the presence of a significant mineralized system.

“Detailed soil sampling combined with ground magnetic and VLF-EM are planned for the coming field season to define targets for subsequent drill testing. In the meantime, compilation and interpretation of the historical work continue to define the most prospective areas for successful follow up.”
