BTU Metals Corp. (TSXV:BTU) – $0.235
BTU Metals’ flagship Dixie Halo project in Red Lake surrounds Great Bear Resources’ Dixie project. On September 3, 2019, Great Bear Resources reported multiple gold discoveries along 3.2 kilometres strike length of the approximately 18 kilometre long LP Fault target, which included 42 metres of 5.28 g/t gold at 80 metres depth. BTU Metals management believes LP Fault’s southeasterly trend appears to extend into BTU’s property. The Company says Great Bear is actively exploring the LP Fault with three drills working towards BTU’s boundary. BTU Metals’ current drill program has focused on testing IP anomalies near the north boundary about 1.5 km south of GBR’s Hinge Zone. Historical results from several areas on Dixie Halo have shown up to 14 g/t gold in grab samples. There is one important distinction, however, between the exploration that Great Bear Resources is doing compared with that of BTU Metals. GBR is exploring a quartz-hosted hydrothemal gold deposit similar to other mines and deposits in the Red Lake camp, while BTU is exploring volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization. VMS deposits have been historically rich in copper and zinc yet also have contained gold and silver concentrations that could be as rich as those found in hydrothermal deposits. On April 7, 2020, BTU Metals announced that its recent till sampling program yielded one sample that contained a total of 120 gold grains, including 99 gold grains that were classified as pristine.
