Beattie Mine Property
Property Size:942.2 acres
Location:Duparquet Township, Quebec
History:
- Approximately 9,257,321 tons averaging 0.124 oz/t Au (4.04 g/t Au) was mined and milled on-site between 1933 and 1956.
- The main orebody, along the north contact, was 352 metres in length and mined down to a depth of 381 metres and to widths of up to 35 metres. The workings exist to below 600 meters depth with projected 3,520 tons per vertical foot below the 9th level.
- A total of 928,000 oz Au was mined from this deposit. The ore is associated with the contact area of an ovoid-shaped syenite porphyry intrusive.
- Since 1987, similar mineralized structures have been traced for some 8400 meters strike length around this structure. Within the structure many other parallel gold-bearing zones associated with fault structures have been observed.
- A new zone within the south contact has intersected values of 11.89 g/t Au over a width of 11.05 metres.
- Tailings reclamation may yield >220,000 oz Au over 3+ years
- The ore is associated with silicified-chloritized-brecciated and sheared syenite porphyry; and gold is associated with pyrite (from hydrothermal fluid deposition within both disseminations and fracture-fillings). A series of easterly plunging zones are controlled by cross-cutting fault structures which are offset to the north of the Porcupine-Destor Fault.
- Site reclamation from the mill complex clean-up will yield to additional Au recovery.
