The New Mosher property (12 claims and approx. 670 ha) is located about 45 km south of the town of Chibougamau and is accessible by gravel road connected to the 167 provincial road. The geological setting suggests a high potential for gold deposits, within the Obatogamau volcanics formation, located 5 km North-East of the Joe Mann mine. The property includes the historic New Mosher showing with 16.7 g/t and 20.1 g/t Au in grab samples and 0.76 m grading 4.11 g/t Au and 4.42 m at 1.20 g/t Au in channel samples (Geomining information system data). This gold showing is within a sheared gabbro and basalt with orogenic type gold-bearing quartz veins and orogenic sulfurs.
On August 13, 2020, the Corporation optioned out the New Mosher property to Gitennes Exploration Inc. The agreement will allow Gitennes to obtain up to 85% of the interest in the property. Details of the agreement can be viewed in the press release below. Gitennes has since completed a 3,000m drilling program and is advancing its exploration program.
Drilling Begins on New Mosher Gold Project; Update on Anik Gold Project
“Kintavar continues to leverage its exploration experience in Quebec and to gradually divest its non-core assets while gaining exposure to gold exploration through those transactions. We are very excited to work with Gitennes who recognized Quebec as a mining-friendly jurisdiction and the gold exploration potential in this province.”
