The hot Pickle Lake exploration area in northwestern Ontario is covered by a set of 59 new survey maps just released by Ontario’s Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.
The ministry says the maps resulted from the largest airborne electromagnetic-magnetic survey in the province’s history.
Selling at a price of $100 per set, the maps cover 2,500 sq km of Canadian Shield country, where more than 6,000 claims have been staked this year.
In just one month earlier this year in fact, more than 2,000 claims were staked, according to John Wood, regional director of the ministry’s mines and minerals division in Kenora. “Gold is 99% of the action around Pickle Lake,” Mr Wood says.
Much of that action was triggered by the Golden Patricia find of St. Joe Canada, in the greenstone belt running west of Pickle Lake.
The map set is available from the ministry’s mines and minerals offices in Toronto, Sioux Lookout, Red Lake, Thunder Bay and Kenora.
