MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: BMK, OTC: MCDMF) (“MacDonald Mines” or the “Company”) reports on results from its Winter 2021 drilling program at its 100% owned SPJ Project, 30 km east of Sudbury, Ontario. Of significant note, a high-grade discovery was made in the Glade area, 800 m south of the historical Scadding Mine with results highlighted by 5.17 gt gold over 22.67 m, including 113 gt gold over 0.96 m. Ground exploration will begin next week to develop new targets on the 2.3 km Alkin-Glade trend for the next round of drilling.
Alkin-Glade
The Alkin-Glade trend is located at the contact between a Nipissing intrusion and sedimentary rocks. The structure hosts two significant zones of mineralization - the historic Alkin Mine and the Glade showings. In the Glade area, Ontario Geological Survey maps and historical exploration identified a broad zone of disruption, alteration, deformation and mineralization that extend over a strike length of 300 m. High-grade gold in quartz veins was reported historically. Many old trenches, now overgrown with vegetation, are the only evidence of the 1930s and 1940s exploration work done at Glade with gold mineralization still exposed at the Glade East and Glade West showings.
