Genesis Metals Corp. reported it has launched a multifaceted exploration program at its 100% owned 26,430 hectare (264.3 square kilometre) road-accessible October Gold project in the Swayze greenstone belt, western Abitibi, Ontario. In order to advance exploration of the large, prospective, and strategically located October Gold project, and to evaluate the best tools to define gold targets for drill testing, the Company is deploying an array of exploration techniques this fall, including: Initial geological mapping, prospecting, rock sampling and channel sampling program currently under way. Property wide LiDAR survey has been completed and is being processed. LiDAR provides accurate 3D topographical representation of the surface below any vegetation; it compliments geological mapping and can resolve bedrock structures that potentially control gold mineralization. Property wide 15 cm scale aerial photography to produce an up to date and high resolution ortho-image which will be useful for evaluating access and identifying areas with outcrops. Surficial (Quaternary) geological mapping program underway to estimate overburden depths and resolve appropriate surveys to evaluate key covered areas. Orientation biogeochemical and geochemical survey across the interpreted strike of the Ridout deformation zone (RDZ) to evaluate effectiveness of these techniques. Planning underway for property wide high resolution aeromagnetic survey. The October Gold project is located in the southern Swayze greenstone belt in eastern Ontario. This belt segment represents the southwestern extension of the Abitibi greenstone belt, considered to be one of the most well-endowed mineral belts in the world for precious and base metal deposits. Despite being historically underexplored, the property has prospective geology, gold-fertile structural setting, and is located in a belt with excellent regional gold endowment. The property covers approximately 15 kilometre extent of the Ridout deformation zone (RDZ), a major structural break believed to represent the western extension of the renowned Kirkland Lake break. The RDZ is associated with the Cote Gold and Jerome gold deposits, 35 and 8 kilometres to the southeast of October Gold, respectively. These two significant gold exploration and development projects are owned by IAMGOLD Corporation and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd. Genesis Metals will be carrying out a multifaceted exploration program over the remainder of 2021 and into 2022 to refine and identify prospective gold targets on the large strategically located October Gold property.
