Nitinat Initiates the Geological Work Program on Carscallen
April 09 2018 - 4:46PM
Nitinat Minerals Corp. (TSXV:NZZ) (Frankfurt:04U1 (the “Company”)
is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced work on the
proposed work program on its 100% owned Carscallen Gold Property
(also known as the Lalonde-Allaire claims) located in Northern
Ontario. The Carscallen Gold Property is located 25 kms west of the
City of Timmins and 7 kilometers north of the Lakeshore Gold’s
Timmins Mine, which produced an aggregate of 185,600 ounces in
2014.
Geological Work
Program
Historical information suggests the presence of
iron carbonate mafic to intermediate volcanic rock type with the
stratigraphic aligned feature trending NW to SE. This unit has been
the target of historical gold exploration and workings. The
geological feature has an approximate 2km strike length and about
200m wide as exposure on or near surface.
Previous small scale mining is reported to have
occurred towards the SE of the strike extent. The approximate shaft
position (three in total) are located within and along the same
strike as the mafic unit. Although small scale mining and the
remnants of the shafts are found on the property, the extent of the
mining activity is not known.
The Company has initiated an exploration program
with the following activities to be undertaken:
- Cutting of access lines (shown in the diagram below) that cover
the extent of the property and specifically the target area. A
total of 23km of lines are planned to be cut.

- A geomagnetic survey will be carried out over the property at
12.5m intervals and at line spacing of 100m.
- An induced polarization (IP) survey will be carried out over
the property with a pole-dipole electrode array and a dipole
spacing of 50m.
- The total cost of the program is estimated at $60,000.
The program will start immediately and the
initial results from the program are expected by mid-June.
“After this short inexpensive program, the
Company should be able to identify drill targets,” stated Herb
Brugh, President of the Corporation, “and with that the Company
will initiate an extensive drill program on all of its claims in
order to maximize shareholder value. The Company’s main objective
is to find an economical ore body much the same as Lakeshore
(Tahoe) has done.”
