In addition, the records indicated that they collected gold bearing grab samples of greater than 3.0 g/t Au along the entire length of two adjacent zones, including four individual due diligence grab samples that assayed 33.8 g/t Au and 25.6 g/t Au. The public records indicated that the results exhibited good correlation to previous assays. In 2020, according to information publicly available on the Nunavut Impact Review Board website, a Toronto-based geological consulting company completed ground reconnaissance of the Esker Claim, including locating the drill collars for all 18 drill holes from the 1997, 20 drilling programs and took 18 due diligence samples from mineralized sections of drill core from seven of the drill holes. 2004įigure 1 Source: Canadian Gold Hunter Corp.

Table 2: Canadian Gold Hunter 2004 Drill Results Significant results are summarized in the following table: ("CGH"), whereby CGH could earn a 70% interest in the Noomut Project by spending $5.0 million over a five-year period, with a first-year exploration commitment of $350,000.ĬGH completed a summer 2004 exploration program, which included six holes drilled on the Esker Claim for 1,119 metres. In August 2004, Comaplex entered into a new option agreement with Canadian Gold Hunter Corp. The drilling program was executed by Comaplex under a management contract with Placer. Results included 1.77 g/t Au over 0.8 metres (Hole ES2002-26) and 3.1 g/t Au over 4.15 metres (including 10.28 g/t Au over 1.1 metres) and 1.75 g/t over 1.75 metres (Hole ES2002-27). Placer incurred $1.85 million in exploration expenditures during the 20 field seasons before dropping the option at the end of 2003.ĭrilling was only performed on the Esker Claim during 2002 and included five holes (ES2002-26 to ES-2002-30) for 782 metres. In March 2002, Comaplex entered into an option agreement with Placer Dome (CLA) Limited ("Placer"), whereby Placer could earn up to a 75% interest in the Noomut River Gold Project (the "Noomut Project"), which included the Esker Claim, by spending $8.0 million over a five-year period. Highlights of the program are summarized in the following table (not true widths):

The project is accessible by helicopter or float plane in the summer or by land in the winter using tracked or large tired vehicles.Ĭomaplex completed seven drill holes in 1997 on the main Esker Gold Zone, for a total of 1,319 metres. These structures exhibit a district induced polarization chargeability response. Mineralized structures occur over 1 km of strike length and are up to 50 metres in width. Mineralization occurs as major parallel iron-carbonate altered veins in shear stock work zones along contacts with deformed altered gabbros. The Esker Claim, which hosts the historical Esker Gold Occurrence, was discovered in 1997 by Comaplex and forms part of the Henik Group, Ennadai-Rankin greenstone belt.

The Esker Claim was staked on-line through the new Nunavut Map Selection System at a cost of $3,285 after it came open for staking and hosts a 1997 drill intercept of 2.35 g/t Au over 70.95 metres, drilled by Comaplex Minerals Corp. ("New Break" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired the 1,408 hectare, gold-mineralized Esker Claim, adjacent to the Company's Noomut claims and located on the eastern shore of South Henik Lake in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, approximately 179 km northwest of Arviat (the "Esker/Noomut Gold Project").
