KL EAST PROJECT

The KL East project is hosted within the volcanic and intrusive rocks of the Blake River terrane in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, located immediately north of the Upper Beaver Mine. The property is underlain by mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks of the Blake River Group, intruded by syenitic and dioritic bodies, forming a geologically diverse environment favorable for gold and copper mineralization.

On the property, mineralization is developed within a multi-phase magmatic-hydrothermal system and occurs as quartz vein systems and disseminated sulfides within altered host rocks. Sulfide assemblages are dominated by pyrite with variable chalcopyrite and minor sphalerite. Alteration is characterized by silicification, sericite, and locally potassic assemblages, reflecting evolving hydrothermal conditions and fluid-rock interaction.

​

Mineralization is spatially associated with lithological contacts, intrusive margins, and zones of deformation across the property. Two regional structures, the Misema–Mist Lake Fault and the Mulven–Kinabik Fault, transect the property and remain largely underexplored. These structures are interpreted to represent eastern extensions of the Kirkland Lake Fault (Main Break) system and act as primary conduits for fluid flow, providing favorable settings for gold and copper mineralization.

At the regional scale, the project lies within a continuous mineralized corridor defined by favorable stratigraphy, intrusive activity, and structural architecture. Historical work has identified mineralization across multiple areas of the property, including Walsh, FP Zone, Copper King, and the McVittie intrusive complex; however, the property remains underexplored at a systematic scale. The continuity of favorable geology and structure supports strong potential for additional mineralized zones along strike, at depth, and within parallel or structurally offset corridors across the broader property.
