Jonathon Naylor Editor A Vancouver-based junior miner is excited by recent and potential mineral discoveries in the Flin Flon, Snow Lake and Thompson areas. Callinex Mines recently completed an airborne geophysical survey on its nearly 3,800-hectare claim block near 777 Mine and the long-defunct Westarm and Schist Lake mines. Identified geophysical and magnetic targets are to be evaluated, along with a compilation of past exploration work, in a bid to define volcanogenic massive sulphide-style targets. To the southeast, Callinex said work at its Gossan Hill gold property, near Cranberry Portage, has further outlined a 1.8-km structure containing gold-bearing mineralization. With further work deemed necessary, Callinex plans to mobilize drills later this year, likely November or December, in an attempt to build on those results. The Gossan Hill property includes the site of the long-defunct Gurney gold mine, which operated from 1937 to 1939. See 'Acti...' on pg. 11 Continued from pg. 7 Callinex has also been active in the Snow Lake area, the site of intense exploration by a chain of companies. At the Sneath Lake copper-zinc-gold property, near Hudbay's Lalor deposit, Callinex said a recent survey defined several deep targets that remain untested. Further north, near Thompson, Callinex is devising a drill program for its Moak Lake nickel property. The company said Moak Lake claims were explored in the 1960s by Inco, which intersected 'ultramafic peridotites' that commonly host nickel deposits in the region. Anomalies Callinex plans to drill-test three anomalies on the claims that were defined in a 2007 survey but are considered untested. Callinex said it is 'well capitalized' for exploration work on its northern Manitoba properties as well as those in B.C. 'We've laid the groundwork by establishing targets through geology, geophysics and geochemistry, and we're looking forward to drill testing,' J.J. O'Donnell, company president, said in a news release. Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of information supplied by Callinex.
