Overview
Eschweiler / Hilly Lake Gold — Seven historic gold features. One untested high-grade corridor.
Seven historic gold features across two AMIS-registered occurrences anchor a single ~1,100 m gold-weighted structural corridor in the Wabigoon Subprovince — drill-confirmed gold over 245 m strike never followed up since 1986.
Summary
Within the Wabigoon Subprovince. Commercial structure (option, JV, earn-in, royalty, work commitment) is open and negotiable; a full data room is available on request.
Property Setting
Seven historic gold features across two AMIS-registered occurrences anchor a single ~1,100 m gold-weighted structural corridor in the Wabigoon Subprovince: the Eschweiler / Stewart workings (AMIS 06417, opened 29 Dec 1899 — closed 31 Dec 1901) with two vertical shafts, and the Hilly Lake / White Claim (AMIS 06420, 1925–1940) with a stope-to-surface, mill remnants, an exploration shaft and two open cuts.
The South Cluster shipped 10 tons grading 0.51 oz/T Au (17.5 g/t Au) to the Kenopo mill at Kenora (1939–40). Between the workings, 1986 ASARCO drilling confirmed a high-grade quartz-vein system with intercepts up to 73.37 g/t Au; surface and trench samples on the same trend reach 134 g/t Au.

Why It Matters
Past-producer pedigree
10 tons at 0.51 oz/T Au (17.5 g/t Au) shipped to the Kenopo mill, 1939–40.
Drill-confirmed gold
Across 245 m strike, never followed up since 1986.
Bonanza surface grades
134, 129.6, 103.9 g/t on the same trend.
South Cluster zero modern drilling
AMIS 06420 — maiden drill target on a known producer.
Archean orogenic / mesothermal lode gold
Same class as Red Lake, Hemlo and Timmins.
Path to Resource
Re-log + IP + confirmation drill → maiden Inferred Resource.
