Clarity Gold Corp. (“
Clarity” or the
“
Company”) (CSE: CLAR, OTC: CLGCF, FSE: 27G) is
pleased to announce that all of the conditions precedent set forth
in the previously announced option agreement (the “
Option
Agreement”) with Big Ridge Gold Corp. (“
Big
Ridge”) (TSX-V: BRAU) dated November 27, 2020 have now
been satisfied which will enable the parties to move forward with
their obligations under the Option Agreement.
“We’re excited to move forward along our path to
acquire the Destiny Project from Big Ridge,” said James Rogers, CEO
of Clarity. “The acquisition of the Destiny Project is a
transformational step for Clarity Gold as we become focused on
advancing this exciting project in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone
Belt. We have commenced planning the next steps of exploration and
are looking forward to finalizing plans for an exploration
program.”
Under the Option Agreement, Clarity has the
option (the “Option”) to acquire up to 100% of Big
Ridge’s right, title and interest of the Destiny Project located in
the prolific Abitibi Region in Quebec
(the “Transaction”). In order to maintain the
Option in good standing, Clarity must next make a cash payment of
$450,000 and issue common shares in the capital of the Company
having a value equivalent to $1,000,000 to Big Ridge on or before
January 26, 2021.
About the Destiny Project1
- Located in the historical, mineral rich Abitibi Greenstone
Belt.
- Gold mineralization occurs in high-grade quartz veins within
shear zones starting at 15 m below surface (drill results include
167g/t Au over 1 m).
- 2011 NI 43-101 indicated resource of 360,000 oz and an inferred
resource of 247,000 oz.1
- Mineralization is open to depth and along strike.
- The DAC deposit is open along strike with only coarse drilling
denoting high grade intercepts outside of 2011 resource area
showing expansion potential along strike from the DAC Deposit over
approximately 2.5 km to the Darla Zone.
- Excellent infrastructure: located ~75 km NNE of Val d’Or with
road access.
- Considerable work done to date including over 50,000 m of
diamond drilling.
[1] Information extracted from the Technical Report entitled “NI
43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimate of the DAC Deposit,
Destiny Property, Quebec” dated March 1, 2011, authored by, Todd
McCracken, P. Geo., and filed by Big Ridge on Sedar on March 7,
2011.
The Destiny Project is located in the prolific
Abitibi Greenstone Belt where more than 180 million ounces of gold
have been produced historically along major structural breaks
within the assemblage of Archean-age volcanic, sedimentary and
intrusive rocks. The Destiny Project lies along the approximately
400 km long Chicobi Deformation Zone, a major structural break
which is largely underexplored in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
The 5,013 ha project includes the DAC deposit,
one of several gold zones along an approximately 6 km long segment
of the Despinassy Shear Zone within the Chicobi Deformation Zone.
Approximately 2.5 km east along strike of the DAC deposit is the
Darla zone. In between the Darla and DAC is the coarsely drilled
GAP zone where 2012 drilling intercepted anomalous gold in all 12
holes which were spaced 100 m apart.
The current exploration potential is based on
decades of past work on the Destiny Project. Exploration of the
Destiny Project dates back to the 1930s. The first concerted
diamond drilling campaign commenced in 1998 and a maiden NI 43-101
resource estimation was authored in 2007. The most recent NI 43-101
Technical Report, dated March 1, 2011, authored by, Todd McCracken,
P. Geo., was filed by Big Ridge on Sedar on March 7, 2011. Since
then, only 15 drill holes, totaling approximately 3,473 m, were
completed. Additional work on the property included geochemical
surveys and a geophysical compilation targeting VMS
mineralization.
Previous work on the property can be summarized as follows:
- 172 Diamond drill holes comprising approximately 50,400 m
- Reconnaissance till sampling from 11 Sonic drill holes
- 2,430 MMI geochemical samples
- 982 line km of airborne VTEM surveys
- 171 line km of ground magnetics surveys
- 128 line km of IP
Salient results from previous drill programs on
the Destiny Project range from 1.5 g/t over 1.5 m and 4.32 over 4.8
m to 90.30 g/t over 1.0 m and up to 167 g/t over 1.0 m and multiple
double-digit grades in between. For the full table, refer to the
Company’s website or the press release published on November 30,
2020.
