Escape Gold Inc.: Airborne Geophysical Survey Signed for Bearskin Lake, Massive Sulphide Target
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(April 8, 2008) – Escape Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EGT) –
President and CEO, T. John Magee is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a contract with Fugro Airborne Surveys to fly an electromagnetic survey using their proprietary MEGATEM II, EM/MAG system over the Bearskin Lake, volcanogenic massive sulphide target in North Western Ontario.Consultation between the Ontario Government and the local First Nations representatives was undertaken this winter prior to the survey being awarded. As a direct result of the Consultation process, accommodations were made to the initial exploration program respecting the traditional Spring and Fall Festive hunting seasons. The Company looks forward to working closely through the Consultation process with the local community and the Provincial government, if results from the airborne geophysical survey which has commenced, recommend further ground work.
The prospective, Bearskin Lake, base metal target area was first identified by a major mining company conducting reconnaissance airborne geophysical surveys and diamond drilling in the early nineteen seventies looking for potential extensions of the Thompson nickel belt into Ontario. Due to the ongoing success of Noront Resources Ltd. at McFauld Lake, where Noront has made a significant nickel-copper-platinum-palladium discovery at its Double Eagle project, Escape has staked an additional 5,312 hectares of land in the Sachigo Greenstone Belt. These new claims are 100% Escape’s and surround yet do not form part of the 1472 hectare property subject to the original Bearskin Lake option agreement.
