Labrador West Property, Labrador

General

  • High Tide Resources is a privately-owned subsidiary of Avidian Gold Corp with exclusive option to earn 100% of the Labrador West Iron Ore Property.
  • The Project is located 17 kilometres northeast of Iron Ore Company of Canada’s (IOC) 23 million tonne per year Carol Lake operation and 6 kilometres north of the Julienne Lake deposit near Labrador City, Newfoundland.
  • Eighteen NQ diameter holes totalling 4,227 metres were drilled by Rio Tinto at Labrador West property ( formally Goethite Bay) from 2010 – 2012.

Target Type

  • Iron Ore

Land Status

  • 2475 hectares
  • 2.75% gross sales royalty on all iron ore produced, removed and recovered from the project.

Geology

  • Banded iron formation (BIF) at the Labrador West property is hosted in the Proterozoic-aged Sokoman Formation, a 30-170m thick sequence of cherty iron-rich sediments.
  • Labrador West property geology is classified as a metataconite deposit, having been moderate to strongly metamorphosed and complexly folded during the Grenville Orogeny (ca 1.0 Ga).
  • Based on drilling to date, the deposit presents a mix of weakly to strongly weathered and commonly banded quartz(+/-silicate, carbonate)-hematite-goethite + manganese oxide, limonite and locally magnetite mineralization.
  • Goethite is a secondary product formed during chemical weathering and replaces both hematite and magnetite.
  • The mineralization varies from hematite dominant to goethite dominant and locally magnetite dominant.

Mineralization

  • Drilling has intersected iron mineralization over an area of 1,800 metres by 2,500 metres to a vertical depth of 420 metres and is still open at depth and along strike.
  • Significant iron mineralization was intersected in multiple drill holes including hole 11LB0027, which yielded 279 metres at 29.8% Fe, including 157 metres at 31.9% Fe and 90 metres at 31.9% Fe.

Future Plans

  • Drill and develop an iron ore resource compliant to NI 43-101 standards in 2021.
