PROJECTS
Blackbird Gold Project
Project Snapshot
Ownership:
ALX 100%
Size:
12 claims totaling ~11,628 ha. acquired through staking – June 2024
Location:
70km north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan
Regional Significance
- A newly-emerging metallogenic district south of the historic Rottenstone Mine, which produced nickel, copper gold and platinum group metals (“PGMs”) from 1965 to 1969.
- ALX made the decision to acquire the Blackbird claims following the announcement on June 17, 2024 by Ramp Metals Inc. of a high-grade gold discovery in drill hole Ranger-1, in which Ramp Metals reported an intersection of 73.55 grams/tonne (“g/t”) gold over 7.5 metres from 227 to 234.5 metres.
- ALX’s research reveals that the Blackbird property is located in the Rottenstone Domain covering a northeast-southwest high magnetic trend that lies parallel to the magnetic setting of the Rottenstone Mine and the Ramp Metals 2024 discovery hole.
Exploration Summary
- The Project area has not been the subject of an airborne survey since 1968, when the joint venture of Canadian Pacific Oil & Gas Limited and Gunnex Limited flew a regional radiometric survey for uranium exploration. No radioactive anomalies were detected within the survey area over what is now Blackbird and as a result, the area did not receive any ground follow-up exploration.
“Rottenstone” is the original description by local First Nations of a 30-foot (9.1 metre) outcrop on the southeast shore of Rottenstone Lake, approximately 130 kilometres northeast of La Ronge, SK. First Nation members brought this outcrop to the attention of traders, and the area was later staked as the Hall showing. The Hall showing later became the Hall deposit and eventually the Rottenstone Mine, which operated from 1965 through 1969. The deposit was mined by open pit and 28,724 tons were recovered, averaging 3.28% Nickel, 1.83% Copper, 4.70 g/t Platinum, 3.90 g/t Palladium, and 1.03 g/t Gold (9.63 g/t Platinum, Palladium +Gold (Fraser, 2000). The area comprising the Rottenstone Mine is currently held by Fathom Nickel.
