Glennie

The Glennie project is located in Saskatchewan within the Trans-Hudson Orogen, which hosts world-class deposits. The property is within 10 km of operating mines and new target areas seeing aggressive exploration¹. 

The most recent exploration programs in the Glennie area occurred during the 1980’s, but despite positive observations suggestive of potential for a fertile orogenic gold system, previous workers abandoned their exploration efforts due to a declining gold price. 

In 2017, the Saskatchewan Geological Survey (SGS) completed detailed mapping (20K) over the Glennie Project and surrounding area to evaluate similarities to the Seabee gold camp, which resulted in an updated structural interpretation, better understanding of rock types, and the identification of a new Au occurrence (1.1 g/t Au) at Glennie Lake, despite a scarcity of sampling (n=12)², which had never been followed up. The SGS Au occurrence was found at an intersection of lineaments in an area previously disregarded by previous exploration, due to a lack of consideration for Au potential in high-grade metamorphic terranes. However, gold mineralization in the Trans-Hudson Orogen is interpreted to form during retrograde metamorphism, thus all lithologies that predate the orogeny are prospective for gold mineralization³.

The Glennie project displays analogous structural, lithologic, and rheologic features to those at SSR Mining’s Porky West target, which has a current Indicated Mineral Resource of 444 kt @ 4.3 g/t Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1,088 kt at 6.6 g/t Au¹.

Widespread wildfires across northern Saskatchewan in 2024 covered much of this area, resulting in newly exposed bedrock which will allow for new exploration opportunities.
