• GGL has embarked on a program to pinpoint potential sources of gold, nickel, and base metals.

• New gold discoveries up to 1.25 oz/ton (as well as VMS and nickel) in favourable geologic setting.

• Airborne geophysical surveys completed over the entire claim area.

• 176 mineral claims – 100% GGL-owned.

• GGL holds work permit valid until 2013 and established a self-contained 20-person camp.

Background  At the end of the 2006 exploration season, a GGL geologist took a grab sample from a noticeably magnetic outcrop, identified as a serpentinite.  The anomalous nickel results prompted a re-examination of existing exploration data and an aggressive land acquisition campaign. 

GGL’s claims (owned 100%) on the area, now named the Providence Greenstone Belt (PGB), total about 382,000 acres covering an area about 120 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide.  Greenstone belts throughout the world are known for their economic potential including gold, nickel, VMS deposits, and uranium.   

The 2007 exploration season focused on reconnaissance mapping, obtaining additional soil and rock samples, and ground surveying.  A sample taken in late August 2007 assayed 0.66 oz/ton gold, but this result was received after the exploration season was over.  Based on the geology and the related geophysical signature associated with this initial find, it was felt there was the potential for additional gold discoveries on the PGB property.   

An airborne VTEM survey was conducted in the spring of 2008.  At least 100 VTEM airborne targets were then documented for geology, alteration, mineralization and setting.   Additional prospecting, mapping and sampling resulted in locating four highly-prospective gold areas.
