Detour Lake-Location

Located in the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt 160 km NE of Timmins, ON, Trade Winds’ properties are adjacent to and surround the historic Detour Lake Mine.


Highlights To Date

Completed 2.3 million oz resource estimate with 53 holes still being reported on.
Earned 50% interest in Block A during 2006.
Over 110,000 metres NQ drilled to date by TWD.
Testing mostly M Zone at depth and near surface.
M Zone traced over 4.6 kilometres along mafic/ultramafic contact.
M Zone currently the best exploration target in entire belt.
Multiple parallel gold zones along M Zone, above and below the primary zone contact.
North Walter Lake Zone discovered in 2004 along Block A/Mine Boundary.
NWL Zone now drill tested on 80 metre sections for over 500 metres.
Acquired 100% of Go West property.
   
Discovered and drill tested multiple parallel zones to surface.
Visible gold in over 80% of drill holes.
During 17 years of production, the Detour Lake Mine produced 1,764,985 oz of gold, milling just over 14 million tonnes with approx 93% recovery, at an average grade of 4.17 g/t.
The M Zone on Block A was selected as TWD’s initial priority exploration target.
Gold resource on Block A with open-pit potential outlined by Placer Dome in 1997 from detailed drilling near surface of M Zone.
Numerous multi-gram and several multi-ounce sections were returned at depth with long holes in the deeper portion of the M Zone, 1 km to the west.
Block A represents an advanced stage exploration project with excellent potential for new underground and near surface open-pit gold resources.
