This campaign forms part of a comprehensive phase one exploration program on the grassroots-stage property. The claims are host to distinct magnetic high units (Gabbros) in settings indicative of known regional gold occurrences. These rocks are associated with continental volcanism. Gabbros have long been recognized as being directly associated with gold mineralization in the
Leocor is working with GroundTruth exploration on the program which we expect to define a significant mineralized footprint. The GroundTruth method breaks down the exploration process into phases, typically defined as follows:
Phase 1)
Soils 100 m line separation and 25 m sampling separation
Aeromagnetic and VLF survey
Lidar Survey
Ground Magnetic survey
Phase 2)
GT Probe Drilling (around areas of interest constituting potential targets)
Induced Polarization across potential drill targets
Phase 3)
GT Rab Drilling (typically 60m holes in fences across shallow targets)
Phase 4)
Diamond or Reverse Circulation drilling (once structure and orientation of target are well defined)
It has recently come to light that the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt is prospective for high-grade gold associated with strong northeast trending regional structures. High-grade gold at New Found Gold’s Keats showing and Labrador Gold’s Big Vein target were originally discovered with regional and targeted lake, till and soil geochemical programs. Both of these showings are associated with linear 1st vertical derivative Magneticanomalies. Much of the gold in
Very similar geophysical anomalies are present on the Leocor claims and are associated with regional till anomalies identified by historical exploration (Noranda and others) and Newfoundland Government geochemical surveys.

The phase 1 program was designed to follow up additional 1st derivative magnetic high linear anomalies that are associated with regional till anomalies on the claims. Detailed C-horizon soil geochemical grids will target prospective magnetic high anomalies. Samples will be collected below the oxidized B-horizon wherever possible as this layer has been identified as being a mask to underlying anomalous till sediments which are more reflective of source material
Any soil anomalies identified will be followed up with prospecting, additional geochemical, geophysical, and geological programs, and drilling in future exploration programs.
