Don's Lake
Pine East Property - "Don's Lake"

Don's Lake Map

The conceptual target is a high grade, vein-type gold deposit similar to that being mined at Claude Resources Inc.'s ("Claude") Seabee Mine..The Don's Lake zone, which is a surface exposure of a high grade gold vein-type mineralized zone, has been the target of historic drilling. The property is located between the Seabee Mine and the Santoy 8 Mine, both currently being mined by Claude.


History of Exploration at Don's Lake

In 1986, Shane Resources carried out work on the property. A cut-line grid with 100-metre line-spacing was established and a VLF-EM survey completed. About 20% of the grid was mapped geologically. These data were evaluated, and nine areas were proposed for further exploration work.

In 1987, Placer Dome optioned the property from Shane Resources, and carried out geochemical soil sampling and geological mapping on the grid. Placer Dome also sampled tills on a property to the south of the Don's Lake Zone claim. Analysis of gold grains in those bulk till samples outlined a dispersion train of gold grains that was traced up-ice onto the property.

In 1996, Shane carried out prospecting, stripping and trenching, which resulted in the discovery of several gold showings. Later in 1996, Shane drilled 9 holes to test some of the showings. Subsequent work,was carried out by Claude, on behalf of Shane, in contemplation of a joint venture between them. In 2000, Claude re-evaluated the showing discovered by Shane, and did more prospecting, which resulted in the discovery of several new gold showings.

In 2002 and 2003, Claude drilled 1551.2 meters in nine holes to test some of the showings previously found. In the winter of 2006 and 2007, Claude drilled 8056 meters in 29 holes in and around the Don's Lake showing, bringing their total to 38 holes. These holes outlined a mineralized zone trending east southeasterly from the eastern end of Don's Lake. A number of intervals with significant gold grades were intersected over a strike length of approximately 80 meters to 100 meters.

Highlights of Don's Lake

1996: 9 drill holes (602 m) completed with gold assays greater than 1 g/t intersected in 8 of the 9 holes including vein intersections grading 27.60 g/t over 0.3 m core length (SH96-1), 4.49 g/t over 0.4 m core length (SH96-2) and 5.81 g/t over 0.6 m core length (SH96-6).

2002/2003: 11 holes drilled (1800 m), with 7 of the 11 holes returning greater than 1 g/t gold including vein and shear zone intersections grading 2.35 g/t gold over 6.6 m core length (SH02-02), 1.89 g/t over 9.45 m core length, including a high grade zone of 6.03 g/t over 1.4 m core length (SH03-08) and 44.07 g/t over 0.6 m core length (SH03-11).

2006/2007: 28 holes drilled (7938 m) with excellent gold mineralization intersected in a number of drill holes. Highlighted intersections for the 2006/2007 drilling are provided in the table below:

Drilling during 2006 and 2007 by Claude Resources, on behalf of Shane, intersected gold mineralization in most of the 28 drill holes. In a number of holes, multiple parallel silicified shear and quartz vein zones were intersected within metavolcanic and sedimentary rocks trending west-northwest over a minimum strike length of 600 m. Gold mineralization is associated with pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite in silicified and quartz vein stockwork zones. Visible gold is common. Mineralization has been intersected beneath and southeast of Don's Lake and is open in all directions, including west, east and down dip of the known mineralization.


Area Overview

The Seabee Gold Operation consists of two producing mines: the Seabee Gold Mine and the new Santoy 8 Gold Mine opened in 2010. The Seabee Gold Mine is 5 kilometers west of the Don's Lake zone where Claude commenced commercial production in December 1991. The Don's Lake zone is also adjacent to Claude's Santoy 8 mine, which is approximately 9 kilometers to the east. Since start-up, the Seabee Operation has produced approximately 1.1 million ounces of gold.
