Projects Overview
Strike Point Project
Angelina Project
Beresford Project
Gem Project
Goldridge Ultra Properties
100% owned by Strikepoint
As with the Beresford Lake project, the Gem project is in the SE region of the Rice Lake Belt and is on the SE corner of the Ross River Pluton. The area is prospective because of the proximity to the Pluton plus the major areas of alteration in the SE portion of Belt.
The Gem project includes seven claims and covers 1749 ha (4206 acres)The property is underlain by folded, sheared and fractured volcanic and derived sedimentary rocks of the early Garner, Bidou and Gem Assemblages that have been intruded by granite. Older airborne geophysical surveys focused on identifying massive sulphides with the volcanic rocks and would not have detected quartz veins or low-sulphide shear zones. Several areas at the GEM and Gem Lake South showings have reported grey and white quartz veins 0.1-1.0m wide and 5m long containing iron-carbonate, gold and 1-3% pyrite. Major sinuous shear zones up to 1500m wide and striking north have been mapped on the property.
The Garner mineral occurrence located 350m north of the property contains two low-sulphide quartz veins up to 84m long and 1.6m wide and many others 10-30cm wide in granite gneiss and sheared greywacke with values of up to 61 g/t Au.
It is anticipated to do some prospecting and mapping on Gem in 2011.
