Mistango Announces Initial Resource Estimate on Omega Mine Project

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:51 AM on Monday, October 29th, 2012

October 29, 2012 Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Mistango is pleased to report it has completed a National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate on the 100% owned Omega Project. The report was authored by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. (AMC) of Toronto, Ontario in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and describes the initial Mineral Resource estimate on the Omega Property.

The Inferred Mineral Resource estimate, at cut-offs of 0.5 g/t Au for mineralization above an elevation of 130 m above sea level (masl), representing open-pit potential and for a cut-off of 3 g/t Au below 130 masl, representing underground potential is set out in the table below. Note that 130 masl approximately corresponds to 170 m vertical depth in areas proximal to main mineralization zones.

 ----------------------------------------------------------
 |Cut-off grade         |Tonnes   |Au (g/t)|Contained (Oz)|
 |--------------------------------------------------------|
 |0.5 g/t above 130 masl|3,800,000|2.50    |306,100       |
 |--------------------------------------------------------|
 |3 g/t below 130 masl  |1,200,000|4.33    |166,000       |
 |--------------------------------------------------------|
 |Total                 |5,000,000|2.93    |472,100       |
 ----------------------------------------------------------

Note: A constant bulk density of 2.89 t/m3 has been used.

-The Omega Gold Deposit resource estimate is based on 152 drill holes spread over 750 m of strike length. Out of the 152 drill holes, 96 are from the four phases of the ongoing 2011-2012 exploration program. The rest are from historical exploration in the 1980’s. All holes are located on an approximate 50 m X 50 m grid.

-The Omega Deposit is comprised of 13 sub-parallel mineralized horizons hosted mostly in highly altered and sheared tholeiites and in metasediments and tuffs close to surface. The mineralization is structurally controlled by thrust fault planes and cross faults. These 13 mineralized horizons comprise the historical 1, 2, 14 and 21 ore zones, which were mined in the old Omega Mine. The Omega Gold Deposit is associated with pyrite conforming to an alteration zone of albitite, sericite, carbonate and leucoxene and conformable to the stratigraphy situated along the Larder Lake Break. Structure is complex, with a series of thrust faults controlling the mineralization.

-The Omega Deposit is associated with Archean volcanics and adjacent to komatiites along the Larder Lake Break. Mineralization is of Timiskaming age.

Grade Estimation Method

-All wireframes in DXF format and drill hole files were imported into CAE Datamine.

-Individual zones were identified.

-Samples within each zone were composited to 1 m intervals.

Statistical and variogram analysis of the grades was carried out.

A block model with blocks 25 m wide in the X and Y directions and 2 m thick in the Y direction was prepared.

-Each individual zone was filled with blocks using sub-cells down to 5 m in the east and 1 m in the north and vertical directions.

-Block grades were estimated into each parent block within the zones and outside the zones using ordinary kriging.

-The blocks located within the areas of previous mining were removed from the resource estimate.

-The individual models were combined into one final model.

Samples

A total of 14,427 composites were available with 975 composite samples selected from within the zone wireframes and these were used for the variogram analysis and estimation of the blocks within the zones.

Bulk Density

An average density of 2.89 t/m3 has been used for this estimate.

True Width of Mineralization

The orientation of the drilling is in two primary directions, approximately perpendicular to the strike of the mineralized zone. Twenty holes have been drilled from the footwall side and have an azimuth of about 145°, within the remainder having an approximate azimuth of 325°.

Using TrueDip process in CAE Datamine® and averaging the results, it was found that there is only an approximately 5% reduction of the true width for the holes drilled from the hanging wall, which represents the majority of the holes drilled. For the holes drilled from the footwall there was 68% reduction from the apparent width.

Exploration Potential

There is significant exploration potential at the Project. Parts of the zones have not been sufficiently drilled to enable their continuity to be assessed. A number of drill holes failed to penetrate to the other side of the previously mined areas. These areas will need infill drilling.

There also remains down-plunge potential for many of the zones, along with their potential extension along strike.

Technical Report Comments

Robert Kasner, President and CEO of Mistango, comments,” I am very pleased with the resource estimate in the potential open pit area. We can now build on this to bring it into the indicated category by following the suggestions of AMC. Also, the resource below the pit is very encouraging.

We are presently completing several deep holes to confirm the mineralization continues to depth and complete a work commitment on the adjoining MacGregor option. I am pleased to say the first two holes have intersected similar geology and mineralized structures contained in the upper part of the Omega mine. Upon completion of the deep drilling program a plan will be implemented to carry out the recommendations of AMC in the potential open pit area.”

Literature review and sample comparison done by Mistango, indicates that the Omega Deposit has similar alteration assemblages and mineralization to the past producing Kerr-Addison Mine located 6 km east of the Omega Project site.

AGORACOM Client Feature (MIS: CNSX) – Past Producer, NI 43-101 Report in progress

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:18 AM on Tuesday, March 27th, 2012

The Omega Gold Property is located in Larder Lake, Ontario approximately 18 miles east of Kirkland Lake, and 4 miles west of Kerr Addison a former mine that produced in excess of 10 million ounces of gold. The Omega Property and Kerr Addison both are situated on the Larder Lake Cadillac fault system. This system has produced over 40 million ounces of gold just in the Kirkland/Larder Lake area and is still a productive wealthy mining camp.

Drilling highlights

·OM-12-67:1.787 g/t gold over 16 metres (including 2 metres of 5.84 g/t gold)

·OM-12-69:2.687 g/t gold over 12 metres (including 8 metres of 3.706 g/t gold)

·OM-12-70:0.997 g/t gold over 54 metres (including 10 metres of 2.421 g/t gold: Open Pit)

To date Mistango has drilled a total of 76 holes comprising of 21,478.9 metres. Infill drilling is continuing with three drills to establish a resource to 100 metres depth in the proposed open pit area and as well as potential below this level for an expanded open pit.
