The Qualifying Transaction
Cats Eye Capital acquired a 100% interest in the Camlaren Property which consists of two mineral claims encompassing approximately 2,427 acres near the southern end of Gordon Lake, within the south-central part of Northwest Territories.
The historic Camlaren Mine, located within the Property, has been the focus of gold exploration in the Gordon Lake area since its discovery in the 1930's. Significant gold production was reported from the Camlaren Mine in 1963 and 1980-1981. Although there has been historic gold production on the Property, it is considered an early-stage exploration property.
In August 2009, a field program at Gordon Lake was conducted to locate and map historic mine workings and showings, and to collect samples of quartz vein, muck, tailings and trench debris. In addition, prospecting was conducted across a large portion of the Property with samples collected from veined and altered sections of outcrop. A National Instrument 43-101 technical report for the Property is available on SEDAR.
