Duquesne Mine Property

Property Size:942.2 acres
Location:Duparquet Township, Quebec -- The property consists of
Mining Concession 377 and a group of unpatented mining claims within


History:

  • 193,095 tonnes of ore averaging 10.81 g/t Au was produced from 1946 to 1952 and 1988 to 1992; totalling 2,086,946 g/Au.
  • The area of the workings is approximately 200 metres width and 381 metres depth.
  • Since 2007, Clifton Star have drilled some 55 drill holes over west extensions and to depth; outlining 4 parallel gold-bearing veins; 3 of which are the same previously mined. The veins have been extended for some 1,250 meters laterally and down to depths of 932 metres vertically; drilling on 50 to 100 metre centres. Metallurgical studies have shown the gold is 96% recoverable through cyanidation and flotation methods.
  • The gold-mineralized zones occur within fault related structures lying between the footwall of a gabbro intrusive and the hanging wall of an ultramafic unit.
  • The mineralized zone lies immediately north of the Porcupine-Destor Fault and appears to parallel the main fault. Vein 10 and Vein 20 are the most promising gold-bearing systems with a third, Vein 74, associated with the north contact of the Porcupine Destor Fault.
  • A mineral resource estimate by P.Bevan (all categories and using Kilborn Engineering, AMS, and several other independent estimates) indicates some 1,859,052 tonnes averaging 7.58 g/t Au (453,115 oz Au). Approximately one-half of the assay results from the present drill program are being awaited.
  • Two properties immediately to the west of the Duquesne property, the Globex Duquesne West and the Normabec Pitt, are encountering similar grades and structures associated with mineralized systems immediately north of the Porcupine-Destor Fault. Grades and tonnages from both properties have been published. To the east of the Duquesne property, Typhoon Resources has optioned the Agnico-Eagle property which lies along the north side of the Porcupine-Destor Fault, and have published significant results from recent drilling.
