McFarlane Lake Mining Limited, a Canadian gold exploration and development company, today announces that it has successfully identified new geophysical drill targets at its 100% owned McMillan Mine property located approximately 70 kilometers west of Sudbury, Ontario (see Figure 1).
McFarlane recently completed a borehole electromagnetic (EM) geophysical survey on six drill holes from its recent drill program. The objective was to identify additional areas of potential gold mineralization. The survey was successful and identified targets at depth and to the west in an unexplored area at the McMillan Mine (Figure 2).
The companies previous bore hole EM survey, conducted in the Fall of 2024, had proven effective in identifying broad zones of mineralization, specifically in areas with multiple EM plates. For example, hole MLMM-25-04 was drilled to test two EM plates and returned 51.65 meters of 2.0 grams per tonne (“gpt”) of gold including a higher-grade interval of 7.5 metres of 5.5 gpt gold. Similarly, hole MLMM-08-05W1 intersected the top of that EM plate and returned 31.3 m of 2.7 gpt gold including 10.7 gpt gold over 5 m.
The newly identified EM plates appear to be more extensive than those previously tested. Notably, one plate extends to a depth of 750 metres below surface while another extends 150 metres horizontally to the west. Currently the deepest known mineralization on the property is approximately 400 m from surface.
Based on the recent drill results and the new bore hole EM geophysical targets, McFarlane’s technical team believes the EM plates could represent an extension of the gold mineralization plunging steeply to the northwest. In the coming days, the company plans to drill test the newly identified EM plates on the unexplored west side of the McMillan Mine.
“To date our geophysical tools have been a significant enabler for finding gold mineralization”
“The property has seen little to no exploration below 300 meters from surface. Couple that with the ability to use the latest geophysical technology and that only 200 m of a total strike length of 7km has been explored demonstrates significant potential we have”.
says Mark Trevisiol, CEO and Chairman of Mcfarlane Lake Mining.
