Golden Goliath Resources Ltd. reported initial results of the exploration program at their Manicouagan Project central Quebec. The project is still ongoing. The Manicouagan Project consists of four properties covering anomalous Rare Earth Element occurrences just to the south of the Manicouagan impact crater. The initial program consisted of ground geophysics, geology, and geochemistry to identify the source of lake sediment anomalies and to assess previously known anomalous rock samples. Along with highly prospective metamorphic and igneous complexes Manicouagan project has excellent infrastructure with hydro power facilities and access with highway 389 splitting the properties and secondary access provided by recent forestry activities. The properties are all underlain by metamorphic and intrusive complexes of the Grenville geological province. The rock and till sampling program confirmed the presence of anomalous values in most of the rare earth elements along with Rubidium, Strontium, Thorium, and Zirconium. Mapping found significant thicknesses and generations of apparently prospective pegmatites intruding into the host gneiss and granites. [FB1] Of the numerous pegmatites occurring on the properties and underlying the radiometric features recently identified by Golden Goliath, it is considered that sufficient magnetic contrast can be resolved between the various combinations of pegmatite and host rocks that a detailed, high-resolution drone magnetometer survey will allow them to reliably identify potentially mineralized pegmatite bodies under the modest local till cover. Broad spatial correlation of radiometric features with previously known and recently identified, pegmatitic, potential REE host features is highly encouraging and validates
the exploration approach used. Greater refinement of these radiometric features into well-defined REE targets is considered to be possible using the drone-mag methodology .
