Handcamp Gold Property
High grade – Gold, Copper, Zinc , Lead & Silver.
The "Handcamp" is located approximately 33km north of Badger, central Newfoundland and 10km northeast of the old abandoned "Gullbridge" copper mine. Abandoned logging roads run through the property allowing for excellent accessibility and mobility of heavy equipment. One 50m wide mineralized zone lies within a stratabound structurally complex zone which lies near a major east-directed thrust within the Roberts Arm Group and is reflected in folding, shearing and mylonite development. Superimposed on the volcanogenic sulphide mineralization is epigenetic disseminated gold mineralization. The best sulphide mineralization is associated with sericite schist with veinlets and dissemination having been traced over a strike length of 1200m. 44 line kms of grid work was cut at 100m spacings east and west of a 2km baseline on the Handcamp property by Dennis Rowsell and company. 1700 soil samples were collected along the grid at 25m spacings of which 150 samples were assayed for gold and base metals displaying excellent results. The central core of the grid was prospected by foot leaving much more to be done in 2010. Rock samples were collected over the prospected areas with numerous samples showing very significant mineral content with some gold numbers as high as 158g/t Au, 94g/t Au, 82g/t Au. along with excellent Zn, CU, Ag numbers ( massive to simi-massive sulphides ).A chip sample was cut over the main Handcamp gold showing averaging 7.1g/t Au over 8m (27ft). Due to the world interest in gold, this property will become the focus for Kat Exploration over the next years.

Twilite Gold Property
The Twi-lite property, lies along the western margin of the Botwood Basin, central Newfoundland, It is situated approximately 30 kms southwest of the Moosehead gold prospects and has similar potential for epithermal gold mineralization.
The two major structural elements within the survey area are NE-NNE and NW faults. These two directions are well represented within the Discovery showing and have been noted as being associated with gold mineralization. The regional depth calculations, carried out using the Source Parameter Imaging Technique indicates that two major “graben” type structures may occur within the area; one striking NW-SE along the Victoria Lake-Badger Group overlap and the other along the Badger Group-Botwood Group NE striking fault contact. Through the central portion of the area, immediately east of the Discovery showing, major N-S faults are evident on the processed magnetic maps. At the southern end these N-S structures control eastern boundary of the Victoria Lake Group and in the north they appear to form the eastern edge of the Lemotte’s Ridge Sequence.
Some results to date:
The Discovery Prospect: Zone of quartz veining and associated silicification, high of 202 g/t Au (Visible Gold).
The Spring Pit prospect: bedded pyrite/mafic fault gouge (high of 14.9 g/t).
The 320 Vein: zone of quartz veining and quartz breccias (high of 16.6 g/t).
The Paddy’s Pitt prospect: silicified and brecciated siltstone (high of 23.80 g/t).

Rusty Ridge Property
The
Results of this phase of the exploration program was highly successful
in idenifying coincidental magnetic IP reistivty and soil geochemical
anomalies that suggest potential for a body of iron Oide +/- Base,
Precious and Rare Earth type mineralization, similar in style and
setting to the giant Olympic Dam deposit in Australia.
Olympic Dam
and related deposits all occur within continental rift sequence rocks
adjacent to major structures. The Rusty Ridge is located within a
continental extensional enviroment within peralkaline rocks emplaced
adjacent t a regional fault system. The presence of a large magnetic
body that appear to be intrusive into the overlying rock sequenc that
appear regionally altered, are variably pyreticand contain vein type
fluorite mineralization and appars to suggest a magnetic origin for the
mineraliztion.
A recently completed 3D inversion modeling of the
airborne magnetic data, show a discreet, strong magnetic anomaly
underlyin the rusty ridge area. Coincidental with this moderate to
strong IP chargeability anomalies that suggest either, graphite or
significant concentrations of sulphides. Graphite can be for the most
part elminated as the rocks are terrestrial, not marine meaning that
conductive argillaceous rocks would not be expected in this
enviroment.
Anomalous levels of the Light Rare Earth Elements
(LREE) crium and lanthanum, all present in Olympic Dam (and others)
were not only detected in soils but also in rock samples as well. In
addition, the soil geochemistry also produced anomalies in silver,
gold, copper.
The host rocks for most of the mineral occcurances and
the unit overlying the most intense portion of the magnetic anomaly is
a brecciated, heatitic felsic volcanic rock, locally with veins of
purple fluorite and disseminated pyrite.
This property as already generated a lot of interest from mining companies and is bing offered as a Joint Venture (JV) project.

Colliers Property
Mineralization
consisting of chalcopyrite, bornite and calcite which occurs as patches
and as fillings of fractures in the andesitic and basaltic rocks of the
Harbour Main Group. The occurrence consists of an old working with a 90
foot (27 m) shaft. Malachite stains are abundant on the surface of the
host rock. Copper Mineralization also occurs in the subaerial mafic
volcanic rocks as occurrences which usually contain one or more of
native copper, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, covellite and bornite in
veins, amygdule fillings, disseminations and shear zones. This deposit
was documented as early as 1868, and other than the 27m shaft this
deposit has never been drilled off leaving much unknown about the
source and amount of contained copper and silver within this deposit.
Assays from the surrounding host rock yielded results as high as 23.60%
Copper and 236.30 g/t silver.

Shaylee
Rock Types: Sericite schist derived from
felsic volcanic and epiclastic sedimentary protholiths. The region is
traversed by numerous faults, most of which are high-level brittle
features. The most notable of these are the Charlottetown, Salmon Brook
and Platter Cove Faults and the unnamed structure that defines the
western boundary of the Love Cove Group. Some of these may represent
brittle reactivation of earlier, more fundamental structures. The
Shaylee copper mineralization is in a rock cut on the Bunyon's Cove
road. The mineralization is approx 75m wide and continues to the
shoreline approximately 1km and consists of stringers of native copper,
Chalcocite and Malachite staining. Continuing along the road
approximately 200m, there is another copper zone containing Chalcocite
and Malachite. This showing is approximately 50m wide. |

South Lucky Copper
Copper mineralization is quite visible in an
old pit near the gravel road and impressive malachite staining along
with chalcocite is strata bound within the more sandy beds of the
sediments. The horizon that hosts the mineralization has been traced
for approx. 17kms with copper mineralization at a thickness of 300ft in
places and assay results of 2.5% Cu has been discovered in exposed
areas in the pit from within this horizon. This type of environment has
the potential to produce low grade, large tonnage copper deposits
similar to those of the Zambia copper belt. More ground work is planned
for the Northern portion of the property in the upcoming season. |
