Turner’s Ridge Property
Turner’s Ridge Property is comprised of 2 map-staked mineral exploration licences containing a total of 9 mineral claims covering 225 ha. The Property is located in western Newfoundland within the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador,
Exploration Highlights
Soil Sampling: 542 soil samples collected on a 1.5 km × 1.0 km grid defined a 700 m × 300 m north–south lead anomaly extending from the Turner’s Ridge showing, with peak values of 9.1 % Pb, 1.3 g/t Ag, 482 ppm Zn, confirming mineralized strike continuity.
Prospecting: Limited outcrop exposure, but grab sampling near the Turner’s Ridge quarry returned 13.6 % Pb and 54.2 g/t Ag, verifying surface mineralization adjacent to historical workings.
Channel Sampling: Six continuous 1 m samples over a 6 m trench (Trench 23-01) averaged 20.82 % Pb, 0.51 % Zn, 28.5 g/t Ag over 5.9 m, confirming high-grade galena mineralization in brecciated dolomite.
Drilling (Historical): Past operators Noranda, Brinex, and Spruce Ridge Resources drilled more than 30 holes intersecting galena-bearing dolomitic breccias, with highlights including 3.65 % Pb over 12.6 m (TR07-01) and 3.19 % Pb over 4.3 m (DDH 324-29-79).
Mineralization and Deposit Type
Turner’s Ridge hosts coarse to fine-grained galena with calcite, barite, pyrite, and sphalerite in intensely brecciated Silurian dolostone, where brecciation and alteration provided structural traps for lead-rich fluids likely sourced from the nearby Carboniferous Deer Lake Basin.
The mineralization represents a Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) lead-zinc-silver system—stratabound, epigenetic, and carbonate-hosted—analogous to deposits at Port au Port and Daniel’s Harbour in western Newfoundland.
