Westwood

Ore: Au

  Overview

The Westwood Project is located on the Doyon property, 2.5 kilometres east of the former Doyon Gold Mine in the Bousquet Township, approximately 40 kilometres east of Rouyn-Noranda and 80 kilometres west of Val d’Or in southwestern Québec, Canada.

  Geology

The Westwood Mine is located within the limits of the Doyon division mining property (Figure 7-1) which covers the Blake River Group (BRG) metavolcanic rocks and a part of the metasedimentary Cadillac (CG) and Kewagama (KG) groups located respectively to the south and to the north of the BRG. The BRG in this area is limited to a highly strained relatively thin band of metavolcanic and intrusive rocks that form a steeply dipping (70-80°), southward-facing homoclinal sequence. The stratigraphy generally strikes eastwest (N100-110°) and is parallel to the main regional foliation. The Mooshla Intrusive Complex (MIC), a polyphased synvolcanic pluton, is comagmatic with the Bousquet Formation and intrudes the volcanic rocks in the western part of the property. Excluding the West Zone, which is hosted within the Mooshla intrusion, most of the former Doyon Mine production comes from felsic hypabyssal volcanic rocks (Zone 2), mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks (Central Zone) and the sericitic schist zone (Zone 1). Gold bearing VMS lenses and disseminated sulphide zones occurring in the eastern part of the Doyon division mining property are known as the Warrenmac and Westwood showings (now part of the Westwood Mine), respectively to the west and to the east of the NE-SW trending Bousquet Fault (BF). The deformation is heterogeneous and varies in intensity from moderate to strong throughout the DBL mining camp. The regional foliation is east-west with dips varying from sub-vertical to 70° towards the south. The stratigraphic units and most of the mineralized zones are strongly transposed in the regional foliation. The regional metamorphism grade is transitional from upper greenschist in the upper part of the deposit to lower amphibolite facies in the lower part of the deposit (> 1 500 m depth).

  Location

The Westwood Mine is located in the province of Quebec, Canada at a latitude of 48° 15’ North and a longitude of 78° 30’ West. The mine is located in the municipality of Preissac, Bousquet Township, approximately 40 km east of the town of Rouyn-Noranda and 80 km west of the town of Val d’Or. The Doyon division mining property extends over 8 km east-west by approximately 5 km north-south. It is bounded on the south and east by the Agnico-Eagle LaRonde Property. The Westwood NI-43-101 Technical Report Section 4 February, 2017 4-2 Mining Lease covers an area of approximately 2 km2 (B.M. 1002, 196.23 ha) and it is located in the eastern part of the of the Doyon division mining property which covers an area of 28 km2 (2 875 ha).
