Abstract
Diamond drilling is the focus of the 2011 winter program. Drilling will be carried out in the northwestern part of the Russell property. Figure 3 shows drill hole locations within the Christie Lake, M Zone Extension and Fox Lake target areas. The two holes at Christie Lake will be drilled at the start of the 2011 winter program, followed by drilling at Fox Lake, which targets basement geologic features (quartzite ridge) extending northeasterly from the recently discovered Pheonix deposit. Drill holes will be completed at M Zone Extension pending results from the first two target areas, and the length of the winter drill season.
Drill targets at Fox Lake (FLT) and M Zone Extension (MZE) integrate a wide range of data, including a Transient magnetotelluric survey (AMT) completed last fall (24.2 line-km on 12 lines at FLT and 26.8 line-km on 12 lines at MZE). Drilling at Fox Lake this winter will specifically target changes in resistivity and gravity patterns in relation to the northeasterly grain of basement and magnetic features.
