Cameo Industries Corp. (CSE: CRU) (OTC: CRUUF) (FWB:
SY7N) (the “
Company” or
“
Cameo”) is pleased to announce historical
highlights from its recently acquired Starr gold and silver
property
(“
Starr
Property”) (formerly called the
Saganaga Property) located 120 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario
(
Figure 1) (refer to Cameo news release dated
November 25, 2020). The Starr Property consists of 27 mineral
claims (350 claim units) that cover a number of high-grade gold and
silver occurrences within a 20 km long segment of the southwestern
section of the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt in the Thunder Bay
Mining District and is accessible year-round by highway and logging
roads.
Starr
Property Summary
The Starr Property (formerly called the Saganaga
Property) is located in the southwestern extension of the
Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, which is approximately 5 km wide and
bounded to the north, east and south by granitoid complexes, and to
the southeast by older Northern Lights metagneisses. The
southeastern section of the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt is cut by
two major NE-SW oriented faults; the Greenwater Lake and Knife Lake
faults. The Greenwater Lake fault cuts the Starr Property with left
lateral displacement along the fault system. These structures and
related splays likely provide conduits for gold-bearing fluids in
the region.
The Starr Property consists mainly of pillowed
mafic flows and massive mafic volcanics intruded by several
gabbroic plugs. In the eastern section of the property the mafic
units are commonly interlayered with sedimentary sequences which
include volcaniclastics and chemical sediments composed of
magnetite-chert banded iron formation. In localized areas,
particularly in the eastern portion of the property quartz-feldspar
porphyry (QFP) dykes are commonly found to cut the mafic
volcanics.
The Starr Property contains several historical
gold showings discovered by previous operators including Teck
Cominco and Benton Resources Inc. Gold has been found in a variety
of geological settings, but typically occurs in spatial
relationship with geological unit contacts along secondary/tertiary
shear zones. Several of these gold showings are shown in
Figure 1 and three of the most significant
occurrences are detailed below.

The Lakeshore Showing was identified in 1934 and
worked on sporadically by companies including Hemlo Gold Mines,
Band-Ore Resources, Benton Resources, and Teck Cominco. Gold is
hosted by a vertically dipping quartz vein, approximately 25 cm in
width and striking N90E, which contains minor pyrite along with
gold-silver tellurides. A 423 kg bulk sample collected in 1999 from
selectively sampled high grade vein material returned a weighted
average grade of 356.3 g/t Au and 850 g/t Ag. (Source: Mineral
Deposit Inventory for Ontario MDI000000001080 – Cunniah Lake Gold
Occurrence 2011 and Lakeshore Gold Occurrence 2014)
The Starr Zone
The Starr Zone was discovered in 1991 by Wye
Resources. Significant exploration work has been completed since
then including ground magnetic and induced polarization surveys,
geological mapping, trenching, channel sampling, and diamond
drilling. Gold is found both in albitized metavolcanics where
hydrothermal pyrite is associated with disseminated gold as well as
within quartz veins where higher grade gold has been identified.
Significant drilling intercepts include up to 5.69 g/t Au over 20 m
(Teck Cominco, 2006) and 5.51 g/t Au over 8.2 m (Benton Resources,
2012) (Source: Mineral Deposit Inventory for Ontario
MDI000000001717 – Starr Zone 1991)
The Powell Zone
The Powell Zone was discovered in 1934 by the
Powell Brothers (prospectors) of Saganaga Lake. Numerous
exploration programs have been completed since then including
stripping, mapping, channel sampling, ground and airborne
geophysics, and diamond drilling. A gold-bearing quartz vein
striking 40-55 degrees, varying in width from 0.9 to 6 m, has been
exposed over a strike length of 121 m. Gold mineralization has been
identified in a thick stratigraphic tuffaceous sequence with
significant carbonate and silica alteration. Drilling by Benton
Resources in 2009 returned drilling intercepts up to 2.5 g/t Au
over 4.25 m and 2.3 g/t Au over 4.85 m (Source: Mineral Deposit
Inventory for Ontario MDI52B07SW00007 – Powell Occurrence
1934).
Data Verification Statement
A Qualified Person has not fully verified the
historical results disclosed above including any sampling,
analytical, and test results underlying this information, other
than reviewing the geological information and exploration results
disclosed in the Mineral Deposit Inventory assessment files from
previous operators referenced above for the Starr Project, and any
available public information. The Company and a Qualified Person
plan to complete a detailed review and verify the available
scientific and technical information on the Starr Project as part
of its exploration planning over the next several months. However,
based on a preliminary assessment of this historical information it
appears recent drilling and analytical results by Teck Cominco and
Benton Resources were completed using industry best practices and
QAQC protocols at the time. The historical information disclosed
provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Starr
Project but may not be representative of expected results once the
Company completes its own exploration programs on the Starr
Project.
Private Placement Financing
The Company is also pleased to announce a
non-brokered private placement (the “Private
Placement”) of up to of 2,000,000 units (the
“Units”) of the Company at a price of $0.15 per
Unit for gross proceeds of $300,000 (the
“Offering”). Each Unit consists of one (1) common
share (the “Common Share”) and one (1)
transferable common share purchase warrant (a
“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one (1) additional Common Share of the Company
for a period of two years from closing at a price of $0.20 per
common share. All securities issued pursuant to the Private
Placement are subject to a statutory four-month hold period
pursuant to applicable securities laws of Canada.
Proceeds from the Offering will be used to
advance the Company’s exploration projects in Canada and for
working capital purposes. In connection with the Offering, the
Company may pay a finder’s fee subject to the policies of the
Canadian Securities Exchange. Any insider participation in the
Offering is unknown at this time.
