PROJECTS
KINOJEVIS
The Kinojevis property is currently the main project of Cartier Resources Inc. The company holds a 100% interest in this group of 299 contiguous claims (124 square km) located between Val-d'Or, Rouyn-Noranda and Amos. The property lies about 20 km north of the Doyon and Laronde producing gold mines. It is easily accessible by three paved roads, recent logging roads in the western sector, and by farmland in the central and eastern sectors.
The property straddles the eastern extension of the Destor-Porcupine fault over a strike length of 48 km. This fault extends for 350 km from Timmins in Ontario to the Grenville geological province, North-East of Val-d'Or. Several former and present gold mines are associated to this fault, including the Beattie and the Holloway mine, both near the Quebec-Ontario border. Further west, several of the most prolific gold mines of Canada located in the Matheson and Timmins area are in some way associated with this fault.
The area covered by the claim group has been neglected by prospectors in the past for the simple reason that rock outcrops are scarce or absent. Most of the area is covered by glacial clay and sand deposits. Most of the previous work conducted in this sector was intended to test geophysical targets mostly for base metals and very few for gold.
The company intends to conduct a three-year exploration program (1 million $ per year) to search for gold deposits on this extensive property. A very detailed aeromagnetic survey will first be conducted in order to locate magnetic low responses that may suggest extensive hydrothermal alteration in ultramafic rocks, which provide ideal setting for gold deposits. This survey will also help to delineate felsic intrusive bodies as well as cross-faults and other features favourable for gold mineralization in this particular geological environment.
Detailed geological mapping, stripping, trenching and sampling is planned in the western part of the property, where some rock outcrops occur. The already known gold occurrences, including the McCormack showing, will be thoroughly sampled. A limited drilling program will follow to locally sample the Destor-Porcupine fault itself and some associated strategic geophysical features. Innovative proprietary lithogeochemical techniques will be applied systematically. This first phase of work will fine tune the geological model used by our geologists to select targets for the next drilling programs.
