GOLDON ACQUIRES HAGARTY CREEK LITHIUM PEGMATITE PROSPECT IN THE QUETICO SUBPROVINCE OF ONTARIO

GoldON Resources Ltd. has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the Hagarty Creek lithium property.

Comprising 17 mining claims covering 7,731 hectares, the property is approximately 46 kilometres (km) southeast of the town of Longlac in the municipality of Greenstone, Ont. Access is excellent year-round via Trans-Canada Highway 11, Ontario Highway 625 and a network of logging roads that cover the claim group.

The property lies within the Quetico subprovince of the Superior province, which is known to host significant deposits of rare-element pegmatite-hosted mineralization. Lithium is a rare element and the Georgia Lake pegmatite field, with its numerous lithium deposits and occurrences, lies within the Quetico subprovince.

According to Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) mapping, the property hosts an S-type peraluminous muscovite-bearing granite. These types of granites are the parental fertile rocks that fractionate rare-element pegmatite-hosted mineralization. The peraluminous granite is in contact with clastic metasediments. These are excellent hosts for rare-element fractionation and volatile enrichment of pegmatite dikes. There are multiple north-trending faults on the property that provide fracture systems and pathways needed for parental melts to invade metasediments.

Mapping by the OGS to the northeast of the property has identified pegmatites hosting muscovite, tourmaline, apatite and cordierite in and around a similar geological environment as the property. Apparently, the OGS mapping did not extend to the location of the claim group.

"A key reason we are pursuing the Hagarty Creek property is the extensive network of logging roads. They not only provide access but are also indicative of significant outcrop exposure, which is well supported by Google Earth imagery," said Mike Romanik, president of GoldON. "Access with the ability to sample the majority of the property will enable us to determine if the project is worth committing additional resources to after our initial field work."

Under the terms of the option agreement, GoldON can acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the property for cash payments totalling $90,000 over three years ($18,000 within seven business days, $18,000 on the first anniversary, $24,000 on the second anniversary and a final payment of $30,000 on the third anniversary); and the issuance of 300,000 common shares upon regulatory acceptance. The optionors will retain a 1.5-per-cent net smelter returns royalty, of which the company may repurchase 0.5 per cent for $500,000.
