| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
The prospectivity model for the Great Bear magmatic zone is a prediction of regional mineral occurrences based on the geophysical properties of the rocks
at known mineral occurrences. The geophysical properties include their magnetic character and their uranium, thorium and potassium concentrations, estimated from airborne geophysical surveys. In summary, with respect to sixty-one known IOCG
occurrences, thirty-eight including all Port Radium and NICO zones, fall within just 3.75% of the total area covered by the prospectivity map. There are at least thirty areas with no known occurrences that have a high prospectivity score, which may
represent high priority targets for additional exploration. There are more than 96 areas with no known occurrences that have a moderately high score, which may also represent valid exploration targets. |
