Roger Moss - The Kingsway Gold Project: Acquisition and Exploration in the Newfoundland Gold Rush

Roger Moss, Ph.D., P.Geo

President and CEO, Labrador Gold Corp.

Talk Abstract:

In January of 2020, a little-known, private exploration company called New Found Gold announced spectacular assay results (92.86 g/t Au over 19 m) from a drill hole on their Queensway gold project near Gander, Newfoundland. As news of the discovery spread companies started to take a serious look at Newfoundland. With New Found Gold continuing to produce stellar assay results, and perhaps spurred on by a GSC publication comparing central Newfoundland to the well-endowed Abitibi greenstone belt, a staking rush was well under way by the end of the year. By mid 2021 companies with ground in the Central Newfoundland gold belt saw their share prices rise to lofty levels.

This talk will look at Labrador Gold’s exploration in Newfoundland and Labrador with its initial work in Labrador, the acquisition of Kingsway, and the exploration carried out there. The focus will be on the methods used to define the drill targets that resulted in the discovery of seven gold occurrences at Kingsway.
