Gold Hunter's Consolidated Gold District: The Great Northern Project in Newfoundland, Canada
Gold Hunter's President & CEO, Sean A. Kingsley, stated, "We are excited to develop the Great Northern Project together with mutual partners. This represents a significant opportunity for Gold Hunter and its shareholders and stakeholders to explore a growing gold district in Newfoundland. Magna Terra has advanced the Great Northern - Viking Project to this pivotal stage, and with our consolidation of the Doucer's Valley Fault, we are well-positioned to unlock the potential of the area. We aim to release our initial NI 43-101 report, followed by our strategic exploration program plan for the Great Northern Project shortly."
About the Great Northern Project
The Great Northern Project is situated near Sops Arm, Pollard's Point, and Jackson's Arm, Newfoundland and Labrador. The Project encompasses a 40 km section of the Doucers Valley Fault, a key geological feature known to host numerous gold occurrences, including the Thor and Rattling Brook Deposits, historic Browning Mine and at least twelve mineralized trends throughout the project area. Gold mineralization is hosted in various lithologies, from Precambrian or Ordovician granites to younger volcanic and sedimentary rocks, typically found along splays off the Doucers Valley Fault.
The Doucers Valley Fault extends from Ireland to New Brunswick and plays a crucial role in the region's geology. This fault system, part of a larger network associated with the closing of the Iapetus Ocean, has influenced mineralization patterns across Newfoundland. Multiple reactivation phases of the fault have contributed to the region's rich mineral deposits, including those on the Great Northern Project.
