Mining News: Argo Gold
(CSE: $ARQ) Acquires the Mishi Lake Gold Project
Toronto, Ontario - March 30, 2017
(Investorideas.com Newswire) Argo Gold Inc. (CSE: ARQ) ("Argo Gold" or the "Company") has entered into a
mining claim acquisition agreement with 2362516 Ontario Inc. pursuant to which
Argo Gold can acquire a 100% interest in certain mineral claims located in the
Mishibishu Lake Area and St. Germain Township of the Sault St. Marie Mining
District in exchange for an aggregate of 250,000 common shares of the Company.
The acquisition of the mineral claims is subject to receipt of regulatory
approval and the common shares issuable thereunder will be subject to a statutory
hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Mishi Lake Gold Project is comprised of 3
mineral claims; one is in the Mishibishu Lake Area and two are in St. Germain
Township covering 656 hectares located on the eastern central portion of the
Mishibishu Deformation Zone in the Mishibishu Lake Greenstone Belt. The Mishi
Lake Gold Project is located 40 kilometres west of Wawa, Ontario, 10 kilometres
east of Wesdome's open pit Mishi Mine and 5 kilometres east of the past producing
Magnacon Gold Mine.
In addition to the acquired claims, Argo Gold has
also staked two small claims in the Mishibishu Lake Area adjacent to the
acquired claims. The two additional claims have been staked to cover open
portions of the Mishibushu Deformation Zone.
The newly acquired claims and staked claims are
adjacent and east of the Wesdome Lease which contain several historical gold
prospects (Discovery, Hollinger, Amichi, Northwest Prospects). The Mishibishu
Deformation Zone extends onto the Argo Gold claims and is estimated to be 1.5
kilometres wide over a strike length of 2.5 kilometers on the Argo Gold
property. In 2011, extensive stripping of the Mishi North gold occurrence
indicated the presence of highly deformed and altered mafic metavolcanics
containing foliation parallel quartz veins as well as late fissure-filling
quartz veins. Three grab samples indicated variable gold tenor (pyritic
argillite: 0.002 g/t Au; quartz-sericite-fuchsite-pyrite: 0.06 g/t Au;
quartz-ankerite-pyrite vein: 75 g/t Au; source AFRI file: 20000006614 Ministry
of Northern Development and Mines). No channel sampling has been completed on
the vein system.
Argo Gold believes follow-up exploration activity
is warranted at the Mishi Lake Gold Project.
The Company has not yet completed the work
necessary to verify the past exploration results and since some of these
results are historical in nature and some results predate National Instrument
43-101 ("NI 43-101") standards. In addition, a qualified person has
not completed sufficient work to verify these historical results. The technical
information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the
Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved
by Delio Tortosa, P.Eng., a "Qualified Person" as defined by NI
43-101 and a Technical Advisor for Argo Gold.
In addition, Argo Gold has also granted an
aggregate of 400,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company
exercisable at a price of $0.18 per share and expiring on March 30, 2020 to
consultants of the Corporation. The common shares issuable upon exercise of the
options are subject to a four-month hold period from the original date of
grant.
