RT Minerals Corp. The property is located approximately 50 kilometres northeast of Wawa, Ontario.
In order for
RT Minerals Corp. ("RTM") to earn a 100% interest in the property, RTM must complete a minimum $200,000 financing and thereafter issue 4,000,000 shares to
Lakeland Resources Inc. The property is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") to the credit of the original and previous property vendors. The transaction is subject to regulatory filing and acceptance.
BALLARD LAKE PROPERTY, ONTARIO
The Ballard Lake Property consists of 2 unpatented mining claims encompassing 17 claim units (272 hectares) located in Echum and Dolson Townships within the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt, Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division. The property is road accessible and covers the Ballard Lake Shear Zone ("BLSZ") and the main Ballard Lake Showing. The BLSZ has been exposed for over 1 km and reportedly returned gold assays from grab samples as high as 17.6 g/t Au from historic trenches. Past work by previous operators (Noranda Mines in 1980 and Anglo Porcupine Gold Exploration Ltd. in 1988) have established the presence of gold mineralization at least intermittently along the BLSZ as well as numerous other gold and base metal occurrences from surface sampling within the property boundary. The main Ballard Lake Showing has been described as a sulphide bearing quartz vein that is commonly 30-40 centimetres wide with grab samples ranging from trace to over 4.4 oz/t Au and 12.0 oz/t Ag.
A 1998 Ontario Prospectors Assistance Program ("OPAP") program on the Ballard Lake Property was comprised of prospecting, line cutting and an Induced Polarization geophysical survey. The 1998 program identified the shear zone as well as several geophysical target areas (strong chargeability anomalies) that were covered by overburden. Drilling was recommended but to date has not been carried out.
