Project summary
The proposed work for the White Hills Anorthosite Project is a bulk sampling program that will use percussion drilling and explosives to break rock. Broken muck will be loaded onto trucks and transported for testing and inspection purposes. To not qualify as advanced exploration, the bulk sample will be less than 1000 tonnes. The proposed area for the bulk sampling is accessible by truck.
The proponent is an incorporation holding unpatented mining claims covering the project site and is looking to test an area of anorthosite deposit for the purpose of decorative stone and filler for industrial uses.
The project is in Hagerman Township located near the town of Magnetawan in Southern Ontario.
The proponent holds a 100% interest in 9 contiguous single cell mining claims in Hagar Township, covering approximately 203 hectares.
The bulk sampling will be carried out using percussion drilling and explosives to break exposed rock. Broken muck will be loaded onto trucks and transported for testing and inspection purposes. Any crushing required for the testing of the material will be done at the testing facility.
