Eastmain Mine Property is 100% owned by Eastmain Resources Incorporated and contains the former producing Eastmain Gold Mine. Eastmain continues exploration on the property including drilling, VTEM and magnetic airborne geophysical surveys, soil geochemical surveys, prospecting and geological mapping. The property includes 1 mining lease over 132 hectares, and 152 mining claims over 7,882 hectares. The property is contiguous with the 100% owned Ruby Hill East property which includes another 88 mining claims over 4,622 hectares.
The project property is underlain by the Upper Eastmain River Greenstone Belt which extends for 100 km in a north-northeast direction. The lower third of this belt has developed a southeasterly branch that extends for about for 36 km. The Upper Eastmain belt consists of one or more cycles of mafic to felsic volcanics and metasedimentary rocks surrounded by granite and granite gneiss. A key geological marker comprised of ultramafic volcanic rocks (komatiite flows) can be traced across the belt. Widespread rock geochemical anomalies in nickel-copper, nickel-chromium, copper-zinc and gold suggest that these rocks are highly prospective for both gold and nickel-copper-platinum deposits similar to those found elsewhere in Canada, and Western Australia. The three gold zones discovered at the Eastmain Mine are spatially associated with a strongly altered ultramafic volcanic unit (komatiitic flows) intercalated with narrow lenses of felsic volcanic rocks within a thicker sequence of mafic volcanic flows. The gold ores are siliceous stratabound units containing 10 to 30% pyrrhotite, pyrite and minor amounts of chalcopyrite.
