HAWKEYE COMMENCES WORK ON DART AND MINT PROPERTIES, YUKON
Hawkeye Gold & Diamond Inc. has commenced its 2011 summer work program over its Dart and Mint properties on which the company owns an option to purchase a 100-per-cent interest. The properties are situated in the Carmacks Caldera located 125 kilometres northwest of Whitehorse. The Carmacks Caldera is inferred to be a volcanic-related subsidence structure (collapsed volcano) that hosts significant northwest-trending geological structures and has important gold geochemical signatures.
The DART property totals 624 hectares and is located 58 km southwest of Carmacks and 175 km north-northwest of Whitehorse. The Property is underlain by a significant magnetic high anomaly, which occurs at the intersection of northwest and northeast-trending fault structures. The DART has significant gold geochemical anomalies in streams draining the property. The DART is an epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper-gold target type. The Property is situated approximately 22 kilometers south-southwest of the past producing Mt. Nansen high grade gold-silver mine (556,500 tonnes grading 11.93 g/t gold and 211 g/t silver) and 52 kilometers southwest of Northern Freegold Resources' Nucleus gold-silver-copper deposit (1.4 million ounces AuEq).
The MINT Property totals 1,830 hectares and is located 20 km southwest of Carmacks and 153 km northwest of Whitehorse. The Property is situated approximately 39 km southeast of the Mt. Nansen gold-silver mine. The MINT is located at the intersection of several northwest and north-east fault structures. A strong stream sediment gold anomaly (301 ppb) is found in a stream draining the north end of the Property. The MINT Property is also an epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper-gold target type.
The 2011 program consists of soil sampling, rock sampling, prospecting, and geological mapping to identify new targets. YES Exploration Syndicate, the optionor, is operator on the project.
