Kino Project

The Kino project consists of 10 claims totalling 420 hectares, located on the Destor-Porcupine fault, in the Villemontel township, 60 kilometres north of the city of Val d'Or in northwestern Quebec.  

The Kino project is located just north of the eastern extension of the well-known Destor-Porcupine fault. This fault extends over 350 kilometres from Timmins, Ont., to the west to the Grenville front to the east. To the west, on the Quebec-Ontario border, former gold producers such as Beattie Mine and Holloway Mine were successful gold producers. Furthermore, some of the most prolific gold mines in the Matheson-Timmins area are closely related to this Destor-Porcupine regional fault.

On the claims adjacent to the new Britannica property, a new discovery of silver-rich veins has been published by Cartier Resources (August, 2007).

The property covers 420 hectares (lots 14 to 18 inclusively, ranges III and IV) in Villemontel township. Recently the Quebec government published a compilation map of the most promising targets for search of massive sulphides in the Abitibi volcanic belt and anomaly No. 127 falls on the present claims.

Besides the precious metal potential on the claims, the massive sulphide potential is also confirmed to the east of the property (10 kilometres on the same geological formations) by the Newconex Canadian Exploration Ltd. deposit with a historical resources of 226,780 tonnes grading 7.2 per cent zinc, 58.29 grams per tonne silver and 0.5 per cent copper (geoscientific compilation map 32 D/8-0403, October, 1977, by Geophysique France-Quebec Inc., L Payette).
