RT Minerals Corp. (RTM-CNQ) is a junior gold exploration company with one of the better properties in the Timmins West Camp. Why? Because the Golden Property appears to have a very similar geology to that at the Lake Shore Gold deposit.
The Golden Property is located along a southwest limb of the Destor Porcupine Fault and ties directly on to the southwest edge of the combined Lake Shore Gold/West Timmins claim group.
RTM has commenced fieldwork with an excavator on site, and a trenching and prospecting program has started on the approximately four-kilometre by approximately six-kilometre property. A field crew is prospecting and evaluating historical trenches on the east side of the property, where assays from grab samples from trench material yielded past values of up to 0.32 ounce per ton gold and historic drilling by Keefer Lake Resources intersected 7 grams per tonne gold over 0.60 metre.
Follow-up prospecting and sampling are also planned on the western side of the property, where historic values from grab samples assayed up to 15.6 grams per tonne gold (0.50 ounce per ton gold). The Destor Porcupine fault system traverses the entire property and will also be evaluated. Follow-up line cutting and a geophysical program will commence upon completion of the trenching and prospecting programs.
Lake Shore Gold Corp. (LSG-TSX) is currently advancing its Timmins West Gold Deposit to production and has recently discovered substantial new gold mineralization on the contiguous West Timmins property.
