Mineral exploration is a pillar of Ontario's economy with annual mineral production topping $5.5 billion a year, creating >90,000 jobs, $1.8 billion in exports, more than $300 million in government revenue and a better standard of living for all Canadians. The Abitibi Greenstone Belt is the largest and most economically important Archean granite-greenstone terrane of the Canadian Shield and host to the Cadillac Lake-Larder Lake Break, Canada's premier gold trend that extends from the gold mines of Val d'Or, Quebec in the east to beyond the Young Davidson Mine in Matachewan, Ontario in the west. In excess of 100 million ounces of gold have been produced along this trend, with the largest single camp being in Kirkland Lake. The Kirkland Lake Camp itself has produced >40 million ounces of gold from such famous mines as Kerr Addison, Macassa, and Lakeshore Mines. Mistango River Resources Inc. (Mistango) is a Kirkland Lake based precious and base metals explorer with significant mineral rights along the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake Break, including the 100% owned Omega Gold Property located just 4 miles west of the former Kerr Addison mine that produced 10 million ounces of gold. Past production at Omega between 1935-1947 included ~215,000 oz of gold. Mistango resumed diamond drilling on the Omega Gold Property in January 2013, which is a critical but exceedingly expensive component of any successful mineral exploration program. Costs are typically measured in millions of dollars, representing most of a company's annual exploration budget. In order to remain competitive in a highly volatile industry, Mistango recognizes the importance of gaining as much information as possible from their drilling efforts. Detailed work on the mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, and orientation of mineralized zones will better help us understand the mineralizing system. This knowledge is critical to increasing the success of their exploration programs. By utilizing the advanced scientific tools proposed in this research partnership we expect to help Mistango to be highly competitive in the marketplace, deliver increased shareholder value, and possibly help lead to reopening of the mine.

矿产勘探是安大略经济的支柱，每年矿产产量超过55亿加元，创造了超过9万个就业机会，18亿加元的出口，超过3亿加元的政府收入，并为所有加拿大人提供了更好的生活水平。Abitibi绿岩带是加拿大地盾最大和最具经济重要性的太古代花岗岩-绿岩带，也是凯迪拉克湖-拉尔德湖断裂带的所在地，这是加拿大最重要的黄金趋势，从东部魁北克的瓦尔多尔金矿延伸到西部安大略的马塔切万的杨戴维森金矿。在超过1亿盎司的黄金已生产沿着这一趋势，与最大的单一营地是在柯克兰湖。柯克兰湖营地本身已经从克尔艾迪森、马卡萨和湖岸矿山等著名矿山生产了超过4000万盎司的黄金。Mistango River Resources Inc（Mistango）是一家以柯克兰湖为基地的贵金属和贱金属勘探公司，拥有沿着多产的Cadillac-Larder Lake Break的重要采矿权，包括100%拥有的Omega Gold Property，该公司位于前Kerr Addison矿以西仅4英里处，该矿生产了1000万盎司黄金。欧米茄在1935年至1947年间的产量包括约215，000盎司的黄金。Mistango于2013年1月恢复了Omega Gold Property的钻石钻探，这是任何成功的矿产勘探计划的关键但极其昂贵的组成部分。成本通常以数百万美元为单位，占公司年度勘探预算的大部分。为了在高度不稳定的行业中保持竞争力，Mistango认识到从钻井工作中获得尽可能多的信息的重要性。对矿化带的矿物学、岩石学、地球化学和方向的详细研究将有助于我们更好地了解成矿系统。这些知识对于提高其勘探计划的成功至关重要。通过利用这种研究伙伴关系中提出的先进科学工具，我们希望帮助Mistango在市场上具有高度竞争力，提高股东价值，并可能帮助重新开放矿山。
