Noront joins ranks of Eskay hopefuls

In exchange for $115,000 and 100,000 shares, Noront Resources (VSE) has snapped up a 50% interest in a 16-claim block north of the Eskay Creek gold play. The claim block is adjacent and just north of the property held by Eurus Resources (VSE), which in turn touches the northern boundary of the Adrian Resources (VSE) property.

The Adrian claim block acquired strategic importance when Prime Resources (VSE) reported the discovery of a new zone at Eskay Creek in May. According to Prime, the new zone is projected to pass through a 40-metre staking gap partially owned by Adrian. The Adrian block also contains a piece of Eskay Creek’s 21B zone.

The other 50% of Noront’s claim block, known as the Skookum block, is owned by Noront’s affiliate Blue Emerald Resources (VSE).
