SUMMARY
Location: Seven claim blocks located on or within nine kilometres of tidewater on the east side of Bathurst Inlet.
Size: 5,728 ha
Ownership: 100% North Arrow
Stage: Known pegmatites with unknown mineralogy.
Closest Infrastructure: Southernmost mineral claim lies within 12 km of B2 Gold's Back River gold mine port facility. Agnico Eagle’s Doris Gold Mine is located approximately 80 km to the northeast of the northern part of the property.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Pegmatites have been known to occur in the Bathurst Inlet area for many decades but local bedrock mapping was at a scale where noting the locations, extent and mineralogy was not practical, nor considered a priority. As a result the pegmatites have not been evaluated for potential spodumene and related lithium mineralization.
- Locations of pegmatites have been identified using remote sensing techniques and a review of past bedrock mapping in the area and claims staked to cover them (see Flickr window).
- These pegmatites are considered prospective hard rock lithium targets due to their spatial and potential temporal relationship to the Torp Lake spodumene pegmatite on the west side of Bathurst Inlet.
- Plans for a 2024 field evaluation of prioritized outcrop areas to prospect for spodumene mineralization associated with the Bathurst pegmatite field.
- If spodumene bearing, the area could represent a whole new field of pegmatites of interest to the critical mineral mining industry.
