Overview
Crosshair has developed into a dominant junior
mining company exploring for uranium in the Central Mineral
Belt in Labrador while continuing to advance its gold and VMS
projects in Newfoundland. As exploration advances within the
Crosshair camp along with various other camps in the area, the
Central Mineral Belt is fast emerging as the next big uranium
district in Canada.
Investment Highlights
- The company is planning to drill
over 10,000 meters in 2006 beginning with winter drilling
when few other explorers are, in January 2006.
- Crosshair Exploration and Mining Corp. has identified
over 25 new uranium targets from its recently completed
airborne radiometric and magnetic survey at its Moran Lake
Uranium Project.
- Mark J. Morabito President & CEO states "The overall
results from the Airborne Radiometric Survey reveal this
portion of the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador to have
abundant radiometric signatures characteristic of
significant uranium mineralization.
- The company holds a vast 630 square kilometer property
package in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador. That
region is quickly emerging as on of the most important
uranium exploration regions in the world.
- Olympic Dam, which is primarily a massive copper
deposit, also contains 40 million ounces of gold and
enough byproduct uranium to make it the world's largest
uranium deposit.
Production
Moran Lake
The Property
The Moran Lake Property lies approximately 135
kilometres north of Happy Valley-Goose Bay and approximately
75 kilometres southwest of the coastal community of Postville.
Exploration History
Exploration in the Central Mineral Belt in the
1950's identified uranium mineralization at Moran Lake, but it
wasn't explored in detail until 1976 when Shell Canada began
their first of several trenching and subsequent drilling
programs on two zones. The drilling produced some of the
highest grade drill intersections in the Central Mineral Belt
including 0.562% U3O8 over 3.99 meters.
Geology and Mineralization
The Central Mineral Belt is a Proterozoic belt
of volcanic, plutonic and sedimentary rocks that hosts
hundreds of uranium and base metal occurrences and prospects.
Shell reported that a portion of the Upper C
Zone is host to an inferred geological resource of 500 tonnes
(1.1 million pounds) of contained U3O8, while the Lower C Zone
has a potential resource of 2,236 tonnes (4.92 million pounds)
of contained U3O8.
In addition to intersecting significant
uranium mineralization, Shell Canada also intersected copper
sulphide mineralization in several holes in the C Zone, none
of which was analyzed by Shell for base or precious metals. In
the B Zone, 3 kilometers to the northeast, considerable
chalcopyrite mineralization and secondary copper staining was
observed in several trenches. These were chip sampled and
returned 11.8 meters of 0.087% U3O8, 0.28% Cu and 13.23 g/t
Ag.
South Golden Promise
The Property
The South Golden Promise property is comprised
of three claim blocks that stretch nearly 75 km. The claims
are located near the town of Badger in central Newfoundland
and are part of an option agreement between Crosshair and
Rubicon Minerals.
Block 1 is currently being explored for high
grade turbidite-hosted (analogous to Bendigo-Ballarat) gold
deposits, with trenching in late 2004 yielding high grade grab
samples of 105.28 g/t Au and 41.66 g/t Au (free gold observed
in both). The claim blocks were staked to selectively to
protect a cluster of anomalous till samples which were
reported by a Government of Newfoundland survey conducted in
the late 1990's. The majority of the claims are underlain by
sedimentary rocks which previously had received minimal
exploration interest.
Block 1 of the South Golden Promise claims is
contiguous with the Rubicon Minerals' Golden Promise property
which has returned drill intersections of up to 17.69 g/t Au
over 2.30 meters.
In 2004, Crosshair conducted a series of
systematic campaigns on the three claim blocks to seek the
bedrock source of soil and till anomalies identified in the
government survey. The work led to the new discovery of a
series of gold bearing quartz veins on Block 1, including
Bonanza Grade Gold up to 105.3 g/t Au by backhoe trenching.
The newly discovered gold-bearing quartz veins
occur closely associated with a regional black shale unit
which separates Silurian sediments from the underlying
Ordovician sediments and volcanics. The rocks have been folded
and mineralization appears to occupy structural zones
associated with fold closures. Observed mineralization
consists of fine to locally coarse-grained patchy arsenopyrite
and pyrite with traces of galena. Several 0.5 to 1 mm specks
of visible gold have been noted associated with limonitic
patches.
A series of five selected grab samples
collected in recent test pitting over the 5 meter exposed
length of a vein (still open) returned two bonanza grade
samples of 105.28 g/t Au and 41.66 g/t Au (free gold observed
in both). The other three samples returned significant to
anomalous results of 5.12, 0.82 and 0.16 g/t Au.
Victoria Lake
The Property
The Victoria Lake property (formally known as
Block 4 of the South Golden Promise property) is located in
north central Newfoundland. The property is comprised of 215
claims (5375 ha) and is under option from Rubicon Minerals
Corporation. Crosshair is currently exploring the property for
precious and base rich metal volcanic massive sulphide
deposits which are known to occur in the vicinity.
The recent Messina Minerals Boomerang
discovery (13.6% zinc, 4.0% lead, 0.7% copper, 102 g/t silver
and 1.0 g/t gold over 13.9 meters of core), located adjacent
to the Victoria Lake property.
the past producing Buchans mine (16 million
tonnes @ 14.5% Zn, 7.5% Pb, 1.3% Cu, 126 g/t Ag and 1.3 g/t
Au), located 60 km to the Northeast.
the Duck Pond deposit (proven and probable
reserves of 4.1 million tonnes at an average grade of 3.3% Cu,
5.7% Zn, 59 g/t Ag and 0.9 g/t Au), located 55 kilometers to
the Northeast.
the Messina Minerals controlled Long Lake
massive sulphide prospect (historical resources of @ 0.5
million tonnes grading 16% zinc, 2% copper, 1% lead, 38 g/t Ag
and 0.9 g/t gold), locaqted 15 kilometers to the northeast..
The Victoria Lake property contains documented VMS style
alteration as well as several untested geochemical and
geophysical anomalies outlined by Noranda in the 1980's and
1990's.
The property is highlighted by the presence of
at least three distinct zones of altered (sericite-silica-pyrite)
felsic volcanic rocks exhibiting several crucial massive
sulphide indicators including extremely depleted sodium (0.13%
to 0.33% Na2O), enriched potassium (up to 12% K2O) and
enriched barium (4,940 ppm Ba) whole rock signatures. There
are also unsourced, sulphide rich boulders assaying 6.5% zinc,
4.1% lead, 0.37% copper, 33.9 g/t Ag and 1.02 g/t gold.
Boulders of massive barite have also been located immediately
northeast of the property boundary. Soil sampling completed by
both Noranda and the Company has outlined significant copper,
zinc, lead and silver anomalies that locally correspond with
alteration zones and geophysical targets, most of which are
untested by diamond drilling.
Crosshair proposes an aggressive exploration
program to follow up historic anomalies through focused rock
sampling, ground geophysics and a joint orthophoto survey with
Messina Minerals Inc. that will cover both Messina's and the
Company's properties. A diamond drill program will follow in
the fall of this year.
