Overview
Hammond Reef is a 100%-owned gold exploration project in northwest Ontario. Open pit measured and indicated mineral resources at the project are estimated at 208 million tonnes grading 0.67 g/t gold (containing 4.5 million ounces of gold), and open pit inferred mineral resources of 0.5 million tonnes grading 0.74 g/t gold (containing 12,000 ounces of gold), using a cut-off gold grade of 0.32 g/t, as of December 31, 2017 (on a 100% basis). The 29,225-hectare property is located in the Thunder Bay Mining District, within Treaty 3 lands, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe people. It is also located within an area recognized by the Métis Nation of Ontario as Region 1 traditional harvesting territory.
Project update
