Setting & Geology

PROPERTY’S REGIONAL SETTING AND GEOLOGY

The claim group is located near the southwestern limit of the Windsor sub-basin. This sub-basin is part of a series of basins that were formed during the middle Devonian times when the continental blocks of the Pangea super continent were converging. An inflow of continental sediments to this basin was augmented by a number of marine advances. The Windsor sub-basin’s floor and southern wall is composed of this Meguma province’s metagraywackes and slates, which are in places intruded by granitic rocks, especially on the southwestern portion of this basin. The Windsor sub-basin’s northern boundary is the Cobequid fault. This strike–slip wrench fault delineates the splice between two paleogeographical provincial domains, Meguma and Avalonia.

This middle Palaeozoic basin’s fill holds several more advantages. Besides its relative shallowness when compared to the much larger and older Witwatersrand it shares an accelerated weathering condition of its times.  This Windsor basin’s gold horizon shares a placement time prior to the vegetation matt that so influences current denudation rates,  Horton time had denudation rates six to seven times our current world, and the upper Devonian sediments deposited directly on a saprolite (a weathered clay) coated granite has excited all independent consultants.  The Geology makes this an exciting exploration terrain with phenomenal promise.



The Setting is in the jurisdiction of Nova Scotia Canada whose mining customs and laws are clearly established and understood with a couple of centuries of legal due process and precedents to draw upon.  The district Hants County has a couple of current mining operations in the Castle Frederick vicinity (Gypsum mines) which due to its rural settings and nearby services makes exploration thrifty.

The image below is taken in the Ventersdorp mine in South Africa at the 7,000 ft level underground of high grade it is about 1/2 a square foot in scale and also shows the sorting needed to yield bonanza ores.  In our Castle Frederick area, sedimentary studies indicate this condition will be located a few hundred meters to the north of the last program’s drill collars and its depth would be around 2,500 ft.
