The Lundmark-Akow Lake project, located 18 km north of Newmont's giant Musselwhite gold mine in Northwestern Ontario, covers a variety of mineralized prospects, including at least three VMS-style base metal zones, a high-grade gold-quartz vein (8.64 grams per tonne Au over 4.75 metres), and an unusual series of epithermal-looking, locally gold-bearing calcite veins up to 7.5 m wide. Hollings, NOHFC industrial research chair in mineral exploration. Romios is providing great support for our students and we look forward to continuing this collaboration," commented Dr. "We are really excited to be partnering with Romios on the project and thanks to the support from NSERC hope to be able to make a significant advance in the understanding of this interesting system. Hollings and his students in our continuing efforts to determine the origins and controls of this mineralization and potentially locate additional gold and base metal zones," commented John Biczok, PGeo, Romios's vice-president, exploration. "The geology of the gold and base metal systems at Lundmark-Akow Lake is somewhat unusual so we are very pleased to partner with a world-class researcher like Dr. He is currently the NOHFC (Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp.) iindustrial research chair in mineral exploration. Hollings has authored or co-authored more than 130 publications, primarily on mineral deposits and greenstone belt geology, in collaboration with researchers from many countries including Australia, Canada, China and the Philippines. Lakehead University is consistently ranked as one of the top two undergraduate research universities in Canada by RE$EARCH Infosource, and is in the top quartile of worldwide universities in the physical sciences (as per the Times Higher Education World University Rankings). NSERC has approved the project's application for funding and will be contributing $100,000 to the project over the next two years through the Alliance program.Recruitment for an MSc student to work on these samples is under way Samples collected from all of the significant epithermal-style gold-carbonate veins.One MSc student recruited and study of the volcanogenic massive sulphide-type base metal occurrences and the more than seven-kilometre-long related alteration zone/plumbing system has begun.Two-year graduate-level research program initiated at Lakehead University drill core samples collected for this research in September, 2021.In addition to the financing to be provided by Romios, this research project has been awarded $100,000 in funding by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
