Exploits Discovery Corp has developed an area play map, highlighting all the major players and current staked claims in the Exploits Subzone. Click here to download the Exploits Subzone Map.
The Exploits Subzone is a prime environment for true discovery in one of the last easily accessible gold exploration districts in the world. The prominent regional thrust faulting shows evidence of long tectonic history and fluid migration.
Trans-compressional strike-slip movement in the regional siliciclastic units underlain by mixed mafic volcanics of the Gander River Ultramafic Belt (GRUB) creates a highly prospective gold environment, exemplified by the Bendigo gold deposit in Victoria (Australia), and Meguma gold deposits (Nova Scotia) displaying similar structural and geological controls.
Abundant reactivation features such as sericite seams, iron-rich carbonate hydrothermal alteration and quartz-carbonate veinlets (historically structurally hosted gold was not adequately tested in the area).
The Middle Ridge property is located in Central Newfoundland and consists of 1,582 mineral claims covering approximately 395.5 Km2
The True Grit property is located in south central Newfoundland and consists of 614 mineral claims covering approximately 246 km2 (15,350 Ha)
The Great Bend Property consist of 1,536 mineral claims encompassing a land area of 487.25 km2
The Gazeebow Property consists of 98 mineral claims encompassing a land area of 24.5 km2
Located within the Exploits Subzone in prospective siliciclastic sediments and along the northern extent of the Dog Bay Line and Appleton Linear Fault zones, which are associated with gold mineralization in the area
Historical trenching done by local prospectors revealed visible gold in quartz veins but was never assayed (Keats, 2004)
