| | - Name of Project - Horne Five consist of the Horne No. 5 Zone as part of the Horne mine infrastructure and acquired as part of an underlying agreement with Xstrata as a Controlled Property.
- Project Type - Former Producer
- Location - Rouyn Township -
- Target Minerals - Gold-Zinc- Copper
- Overview -
- Historic gold and copper production with remnant historic resource remaining.
- The zone is greater than 1000m in strike length to depth of 2650m and ranges from 30m to 140m in thickness.
- Prior production of 221kt @ 6.65g/t Gold and 0.73% Copper1.
- Noranda company reports from the 1950's identified a disseminated resource between the 21st and 39th levels including high grade gold lenses2.
- Bancroft in 1980 identified high grade gold lenses within the No. 5 Zone with grades averaging 6.0g.t Gold, 0.50% Copper, and 0.4% Zinc1. No assessment of the potential for profitable extraction of the above grade has been made. Future programs under consideration will focus on validating the tonnage and grade identified
- Geological Summary - Composed of massive to semi-massive-sulphide body with a series of overlapping pyritic lenses with volcanic rocks.
- Next Steps -compile and analyse the historic data to model historic mine.
