Use of Proceeds – Potential for three styles of mineral deposits
Upon completion of the Acquisition and the Financing, Conquest will have approximately $3 to $4 million in funds, the flow through portion of which will be used to advance the Company’s expanded Golden Rose Project. The balance of funds will ensure the Company has ample funds for general corporate purposes, working capital and future acquisitions.
Historical mining operations at the Golden Rose gold mine between 1915-1988 produced approximately 52,000 oz of gold from structurally controlled, high-grade quartz-pyrite veins, hosted within two Banded Iron Formations.
In addition to exploration for gold on the past producing Golden Rose Mine, in which gold mineralization is hosted in porphyry intruded banded iron formations, potential for two other styles of economic mineral deposits have been identified within the enlarged land package.
There is evidence for the potential of Sudbury style Nickel-Copper- PGE and Cobalt deposits, such as the high grade Copperfields Mine located on Temagami Island which was the mine which began the storied history of Teck Resources Ltd.
There is also evidence of Archean paleo placer deposits analogous to South Africa’s Witwatersrand gold deposits, such as the discoveries made by Inventus Mining in nearby Pardo Township.
