Musk Metals Defines Phase 2 Exploration Targets and Completes Detailed Structural & Geological Interpretation on Its McDonough East Property in Red Lake, Ontario
October 12 2021 - 3:01AM
MUSK METALS CORP. (“MUSK METALS” OR THE “COMPANY”) (CSE:
MUSK) (OTC: EMSKF) (FSE: 1I30) is pleased
to announce the completion of a detailed structural and geological
data compilation and reinterpretation study completed by Orix
Geoscience Ltd. (“Orix”) on its 100% owned McDonough East Property
(the “Property”) located 16km northwest of Red Lake, Ontario. This
report outlines structural and geological enhancements to the
property and provides recommendations as to targets of merit for
Musk’s Phase 2 exploration program.
This reinterpretation by Orix is based on data
from a recently completed high resolution heli-borne magnetic
survey conducted by Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. The high-resolution
MAG survey was flown over the totality of the property covering
1,535 ha. (3,793 acres) at 50m line spacings. (See news release
dated September 2nd, 2020).
This detailed structural and geological report
integrated all historical lithology, mineralization, drilling and
structural data with new data from Musk’s recently completed MAG
survey. The result of the Orix study is a far better understanding
of the geological and structural framework of the property (Figure
1).

and re-interpretation of geology and structure.
Results of Orix data compilation and
reinterpretation study are as follows:
-
New interpretation reveals that the eastern portion of the property
is dominated by a suite of deformed volcanic rocks that are
prospective to host gold mineralization;
-
Similarly, deformed horizons of magnetic-rich sediments at the
central-east corner of the property area may contain iron
formation, an important host for orogenic gold mineralization in
Archean terranes;
-
The conglomerate horizon on the property also provides a target of
merit. This horizon is proximal to the Red Lake and Campbell gold
mines in the southern portion of the Red Lake greenstone belt;
-
Interpreted releasing stepover or bend geometry along the
stratigraphy-parallel structure at the northern portion of property
may control the alteration and/or intrusive rocks, providing an
area of rheology where gold mineralization has the potential to be
deposited;
-
A prospecting program with a focus on structural geology is
recommended to further trace prospective units, contacts and
structures associated with mineralization and collect structural
observations to help verify the interpretation; and
-
Soil sampling should be conducted to outline possible anomalies
where outcrop is minimal.
Orix is recommending a prospecting program with
a focus on structural geology is recommended to further trace
prospective units, contacts and structures possibly associated with
anomalous gold samples as well as collect structural observations
to help verify the reinterpretation. A review of the MAG survey
products produced by Prospectair for the interpretation is figured
below.

About McDonough East - Property
Highlights
- Situated in the prolific Red Lake
Greenstone Belt with historic production and current resources of
approx. 41 million ounces Au
- Nearby mineral occurrences with
very little methodical exploration and drilling including: 0.435
g/t Au and 92.56 g/t Ag over 2.13m
- The McDonough East property is
contiguous with GoldON Resources Ltd. (GLD - TSX.V) and near Battle
North Gold Corporation “Slate Bay” gold property and straddles a
regional unconformity that is a key structural signature of many
mines within the Red Lake Greenstone Belt.
- Hosts regional magnetic signatures
conducive to Archean-style gold mineralization
- Four season exploration, all
weather road access in an under-explored region of the Red Lake
camp
- Musk Metals is planning a Phase 2
exploration program based on a recent structural and geological
data compilation and reinterpretation study completed by Orix
Geoscience Ltd.
Musk Metals CEO and Director, Nader
Vatanchi states, “The setting at McDonough East is ideal
for gold mineralization and we are encouraged by new data and
exploration targets generated by Orix’s in depth report. Phase 2
exploration will focus on further defining high priority targets
and sampling with the potential for new discoveries on the
property.”
