Project Overview
The Whirlwind Jack Gold Project is a district-scale gold exploration project located near Red Lake, Ontario. The project is viewed as sharing similar geologic lithologies as the contiguous Great Project being advanced by neighbouring Kinross Gold Corporation.
Project Geology
Field work by Red Lake Gold Inc. has confirmed the presence of both felsic and mafic lithologies at the Whirlwind Jack Gold Project.
The LP Fault structure is also interpreted to be present at the Whirlwind Jack Gold Project, being situated alongside a significant magnetic low corridor running east-west.
Exploration Summary
Red Lake Gold Inc. is focused on its Whirlwind Jack Gold Project and believes that the project shares a number of geological features with the adjoining Great Bear Project being independently advanced by Kinross Gold Corporation, including:
- LP Fault Coverage (exceeding 9km on Red Lake Gold’s Whirlwind Jack);
- Geophysical Magnetic Low Corridor (interpreted to be felsic lithologies due to a similar magnetic low that is coincident with felsic lithologies at the adjacent Great Bear Project);
- High Strain Felsic Lithologies (felsic lithologies confirmed as present on both the Great Bear Project and Whirlwind Jack Project).
Red Lake Gold Inc. believes Whirlwind Jack may represent an opportunity to discover the next on-trend gold discovery associated with the LP Fault, a regional fault structure for which coverage is materially dominated by mining claim and/or lease ownership held by neighbouring Kinross Gold Corporation (Great Bear Project) and Red Lake Gold Inc. (Whirlwind Jack Project), respectively.
Through exploration work completed in 2024, Red Lake Gold Inc. has defined two prominent gold-in-soil anomalies, with target areas associated proximal to those anomalies, being the Bug Lake Target and Box Target, respectively (see map below).
Field mapping by Red Lake Gold Inc. has also confirmed the presence of highly strained felsic assemblages at Whirlwind Jack that are spatially located with the LP Fault system (and its perceived offset faults) and it has confirmed that felsic lithologies are present at both ‘book-ends’ of the above magnetic low exploration corridor.
As a result, Red Lake Gold Inc. believes that the magnetic low corridor associated with its Box Target (and magnetic low area proximally associated with its Bug Lake target) are prospectively representative of felsic settings that may have gold-bearing potential.
