Mineralogical, petrological and geochemical study of gold mineralization of the West Porphyry Zone at the Taylor Project, Taylor Township, Ontario

矿产勘探是安大略省经济的支柱，2011年矿产产值超过92亿美元，创造了10万个就业机会，出口收入数十亿美元，政府收入数亿美元，所有加拿大人的生活水平都有所提高。Abitibi Greenstone带是加拿大地盾中最大、最具经济意义的太古宙花岗岩-绿岩地体，是一种被称为豪猪-德斯特断裂带(PDFZ)的主要构造特征的所在地。众多金矿床产于开发区及相关构造附近，全长450公里，自安大略省蒂明斯以西，穿过Matheon，向东延伸至魁北克省的Val d‘Or以外。1900年初，随着蒂明斯营地主要金矿的发现，断裂带被识别出来，如穹顶金矿、霍林格金矿、麦金太尔金矿、帕穆尔金矿和霍尔池矿。沿着开发区，已经生产了超过1.1亿盎司的黄金。圣安德鲁金田有限公司(“SAS”)是一家总部位于加拿大的金矿开采和勘探公司，在蒂明斯矿区拥有广泛的土地包。SAS正在推进其在这一令人兴奋的120公里长的项目上的勘探活动，该项目横跨PDFZ。SAS正在利用其广泛的地质数据库在许多地点进行有针对性的勘探，并将2013年的勘探计划重点放在靠近现有矿山和基础设施的地区，以增加资源和储量水平。2011年，公司推进了泰勒项目的预可行性阶段。为了在一个高度不稳定的行业中保持竞争力，SAS认识到从他们的勘探工作中获得尽可能多的信息的重要性。对泰勒项目矿化带的矿物学、岩石学和地球化学的详细研究将有助于我们更好地了解成矿系统。这些知识对于提高该公司勘探项目的成功至关重要。通过利用这一研究伙伴关系中提出的先进科学工具，我们预计将帮助SAS在市场上具有高度的竞争力，为股东带来更大的价值，并可能有助于增加资源发现。

Mineral exploration is a pillar of Ontario's economy with a value of mineral production topping $9.2 billion in 2011, creating >100,000 jobs, billions in exports, hundreds of millions 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 a major structural feature called the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone ("PDFZ"). Numerous gold deposits occur in the vicinity of the PDFZ and related structures along its 450 kilometre length starting west of Timmins in Ontario, through Matheson, and eastward beyond Val d'Or in Québec. The fault zone was recognized in the early 1900's with the discovery of the major gold mines of the Timmins camp, such as the Dome, Hollinger, McIntyre, Pamour and Hoyle Pond mines. Along the PDFZ, over 110 million ounces of gold have been produced. St Andrew Goldfields Ltd. ("SAS") is a Canadian based gold mining and exploration Company with an extensive land package in the Timmins mining district. SAS is advancing its exploration activities on this exciting 120 km long package which straddles the PDFZ. SAS is using its extensive geological database to conduct targeted exploration at numerous sites and has focused the 2013 exploration program on areas that lie in close proximity to the existing mines and infrastructure to add to the resource and reserve levels. In 2011 the Company advanced the Taylor Project through the pre-feasibility stage. In order to remain competitive in a highly volatile industry, SAS recognizes the importance of gaining as much information as possible from their exploration efforts. Detailed work on the mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry of mineralized zones at the Taylor Project will better help us understand the mineralizing system. This knowledge is critical to increasing the success of the company's exploration programs. By utilizing the advanced scientific tools proposed in this research partnership we expect to help SAS to be highly competitive in the marketplace, deliver increased shareholder value, and possibly help lead to increased resource discovery.
