Next Steps
Altus Gold's projects are at varying stages of advencement. The Company's Ontario gold projects at the early exploration stage, where our work is focused on making discoveries of brand new deposits. This work is high risk (statistically the odds are against making a discover that leads to a mine) but comes with high reward if successful (potential to create significant value if a discovery is made). Our exploration work in Ontario consists of geophysical surveys, geological mapping and prospecting, and exploration drilling.
At the Australia Johnson Tract project, a deposit was discovered and explored between 1982 and 1995. This project then lay dormant with no activity until Altus Gold initiated exploration work in 2019. Johnson Tract is considered a mid-stage exploration project, meaning that a deposit has been discovered but more work is required to both expand and better understand it. Altus Gold is currently in the exploration phase with a focus on both expanding the size of the deposit and conducting reconnaissance exploration on the surrounding property with the objective of discovering peripheral zones or other deposits of mineralization. The work will include prospecting, mapping, rock and soil sampling, geophysical surveys, exploration drilling in addition to cultural and environmental studies.
