The strongest anomaly on the property has never been drilled.

BNTGold Resources holds 100% of the Fox Lake–Zena property — Neoarchean greenstone in the Slave Craton. Historical 1959 drilling logged visible gold in 17 of 19 holes and returned bonanza grades to 162.5 g/t Au. Only the upper ~75 m has ever been tested.

Key Highlights

Bonanza grade, a fluid-mixing model, and an undrilled geophysical target.

Nine of nineteen historical holes carry bonanza-class intercepts (≥10 g/t Au). The highest grades occur where two distinct fluids mixed — a pattern that points directly at the next holes.

Open at depth
162.5g/t Au
DDH-07 · Fox Zone

Property-record intercept (sample S703). Coarse visible gold and galena in a quartz reef; DDH-07 alone hosts 7 of the 19 bonanza intercepts within one 200–285 ft reef. Untested down-plunge.

Re-drill priority
98.1g/t Au
DDH-03 · Fox Zone

Main Fox bonanza at 95–96 ft (2.86 oz/short ton). Hole completed to 139 ft; the depth extension below the reef has never been tested. Two LCT pegmatite intervals in the same hole.

DDH-04 · Fox Zone

Bonanza with chalcopyrite and a silver co-anomaly (Au:Ag ≈ 1.9:1) inside a muscovite halo — the diagnostic signature of Type-1 + Type-2 fluid mixing, and the highest-priority target style on the property.

The single strongest chargeability anomaly in the 2016 survey — stronger than the response over the 162.5 g/t DDH-07 cluster, and best expressed at 100–150 m, below the depth any 1959 hole reached.

The Property

Deposit Model

Bonanza grade is made where two fluids meet.

Fox Lake is an Archean orogenic gold system. The highest grades are not random: they occur where an orogenic gold fluid mixed with a separate magmatic fluid at structural traps in the felsite host. That intersection is the drill target.

Type 1

Magmatic Cu-fluid

  • Chalcopyrite ± pyrite assemblage
  • Background gold only (10–15 ppb)
  • Logged in 10 of 19 holes
  • Produces no economic gold alone
Type 2

Orogenic Au-fluid

  • Pyrrhotite + arsenopyrite + visible gold
  • Bonanza-capable on its own
  • Sources the gold endowment (~2.65–2.60 Ga)
  • Drives the DDH-07 and DDH-09 reefs
Mixing zone

Type 1 + Type 2

  • Bonanza gold + chalcopyrite + silver
  • Muscovite halo on the wall rock
  • Galena marks the highest grades
  • Documented at DDH-04 and DDH-15
★ The highest-priority drill target style

~2.7 Ga

D1–D2 metamorphism

2

Mackenzie diabase

Post-ore dyke swarm cross-cuts and offsets the deposit — it dismembers, but does not source, the gold.

1959 Drilling · Re-compiled

Nineteen holes. Nine carry bonanza gold.

14 Fox holes and 5 Zena holes drilled in 1959, re-logged and re-compiled by the Company's geological team. Nineteen intercepts grade ≥10 g/t Au; seven exceed 30 g/t (~1 oz/short ton). Four bonanza intercepts are absent from the prior 2017 results table.

Grade basis. Original 1959 assays were reported in oz/short ton and are converted to g/t at ×34.286. The 2017 report applied ×31.25, under-reporting all grades by ~9.7%. Depths are down-hole feet as logged in 1959; sample lengths may not represent true width. Original laboratory certificates must be verified before any resource estimate.

Geophysics · 2016 IP + 2024 Magnetics

The geophysics points below the 1959 holes.

A 2016 induced-polarisation survey and a 2024 magnetic inversion both define targets beyond the reach of the historical drilling — including the strongest chargeability anomaly on the grid, which has never been tested.

Induced polarisation — 5 ranked targets

12 lines, 26 catalogued anomalies. For this silicification-positive system, a silicification-weighted chargeability vector — not the standard Metal Factor — is the correct guide to the gold.

Magnetics — three bodies, one target

A 3D susceptibility inversion of the 2024 aeromagnetic survey resolves three discrete magnetic bodies within 2.5 km of drilling. Reduced-to-pole products are displaced ~305 m southeast by remanent magnetisation — a correction the targeting accounts for.

Four anomaly zones, drilling on the strongest.

Clusters of anomalous soil (≥7 ppb) and rock (≥0.3 g/t) define four zones. Zone A — the Fox cluster — peaks at 12.25 g/t in rock and 1,090 ppb in soil, directly over the historical drilling. Zones C and D are untested targets on the same trend.

Cautionary & Technical Disclosure

Historical results. Drill results, assays, intercepts and visible-gold observations on this site are historical, derived primarily from a 1959 drill programme that predates and was not conducted to the standards of National Instrument 43-101. A Qualified Person (Dave White, P.Geo.) has reviewed and re-compiled this data but has not done the work necessary to verify it or to classify it as a current mineral resource or mineral reserve. The Company is not treating the historical results as current, and no mineral resource or mineral reserve has been estimated on the property. Grades reflect selectively assayed core, and sample lengths may not represent true widths.

Adjacent and analogue properties. References to Slave Craton gold camps describe regional geological context only. Mineralisation on neighbouring or analogue properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralisation on the Fox Lake–Zena property.

Forward-looking information. This site contains forward-looking information regarding exploration plans and potential. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties — including metal prices, the interpretation of geological data, financing, and permitting — and actual results may differ materially.
