About Mosaic Minerals Corporation
Mosaic Minerals Corp., founded in 2018 is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking the potential of former Stellar AfricaGold Inc. “Stellar” Opawica Gold Project (“Opawica”) which is located in Québec’s renowned and very prolific Chibougamau mining district, Nord-du-Québec, within the famous Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
Mosaic is gold-focused concentrating its exploration efforts where the Company’s growth potential is the strongest. After incorporation Mosaic acquired Stellar’s Opawica project in a 100% share deal. Mosaic then completed a Plan of Arrangement with Stellar establishing a shareholder base of more than 1,000 new Mosaic shareholders. Since the acquisition Mosaic has actively explored Opawica completing its Phase I exploration program at the end of 2019 with results that warrant advancing with a Phase II program.
The Opawica Gold Project
Opawica is comprised of two claim blocks, the Philibert I and the Opawica North,located a few kilometers East and in the structural strike of the Nelligan Iamgold/Vanstar project. Surface sampling of the Philbert-I block showing by Laurentia Exploration during the 43-101 Technical Report field visit confirmed Stellar’s and other historical results returning gold grades of up to 9.24 g/t Au in some channel sampling of quartz injected structures. The gold mineralization is associated with millimetric to metric wide quartz veins structure cutting through the Obatogamau rock of Philibert-I block. These veins are observed across a 50-meter-long rock exposure and strike N 1100. Quartz veins contain tourmaline and pyrite and lies within an epidote-iron carbonates alteration envelope and most importantly, the structure is open laterally and vertically.
In December 2018, Mosaic mandated Dynamic Discovery to perform a resistivity and Induced Polarization (IP) coverage of the Philbert Block to increase the understanding of the geophysical characteristics of the Philbert-I gold showing. In conclusion, the geophysical response of the gold mineralization found within the property was better characterised, assisting with the selection of priority exploration targets. A total of 200 individual IP anomalies, further grouped as 47 chargeable lineaments, were defined. Among them, 11 axes are considered with higher potential to relate to mineralized occurrences and constitute high priority drilling targets.
