Exploration at a former mining property near Snow Lake has identified a gold-bearing geological trend, a junior miner reports.

Rockcliff Copper Corp. recently commissioned an airborne magnetometer survey at its Laguna gold property, which hosts the long-defunct Laguna gold mine.

The company said the survey identified the “Laguna Gold Mine Trend,” a structurally complex geological environment associated with known gold-bearing quartz systems across six or more kilometres.

“The potential for the discovery of additional gold-bearing quartz vein stockworks within the Laguna Gold Mine Trend is considered excellent and represents the priority target at the Laguna gold property,” Ken Lapierre, president and CEO of Rockcliff, said in a news release.

Lapierre said further geophysical surveys across the Laguna Gold Mine Trend are nearing completion, with results to be released in the coming weeks.

Earlier this year, Rockcliff acquired an option to earn a 100 per cent interest in the Laguna gold property, located about 20 km southeast of Snow Lake.

The company said exploration would determine the viability of mining the property for the first time since 1939.

Laguna is among a handful of long-defunct gold mines in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake region that different companies hope to reopen. Others include the Tartan Lake and Gurney mines near Flin Flon.
