VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 22, 2020 / Lithoquest Resources Inc. (TSXV:LDI) ("Lithoquest", or the "Company") today announced that it has acquired mineral claims over a prospective and under-explored area of the Fort Hope Greenstone Belt in northwestern Ontario. The Attwood Project comprises 1,151 mineral claims covering 23,262 ha and is located approximately 320km north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The property lies within five kilometres of the all-weather Ogoki Forestry Road and is accessible by float plane from the community of Armstrong.
The greenstone assemblage underlying the claims includes iron formation and other high priority host rocks which have undergone folding and faulting events like those of other greenstone belts in the Superior Province. These events, when coupled with the geological units mapped on the claims, have been known to be a driver of significant gold mineralization. Limited bedrock exposure in the area has historically hindered exploration with commercial work conducted intermittently on the property until the mid-1970's.
