Selection methodology: Each cell was ranked by a province-wide geoscience scoring model integrating Government of Canada till geochemistry surveys, airborne EM and magnetic data, Ontario mineral occurrence databases, historical assessment report density, and structural geology — across all 28,207 scoreable cells in Ontario. No opportunistic staking. All blocks represent top-tier results for their respective target commodities.

Sebastopol / Renfrew
Active
Claims: 1046615–1046621
🔍 View bedrock in MLAS →
Key Signals
Y = 4,335 ppm — Confirmed yttrium in apatite, 1996 electron microprobe, Turners Island. Typical REE cut-off ~1,000 ppm.
Rad score 100.0 — Maximum regional radiometric anomaly. U = 31–37 ppm, Th = 28–42 ppm.
5 mines / 5km — Five abandoned mines within 5km including Turners Island apatite mine (1879–1882, 200 tons).
25 OMI occurrences — REE, Ce, La, Nd, U, Th, Zr, apatite, zircon within 10km.
1943 NRC investigation — National Research Council specifically investigated for REE. Rediscovered ground.
Why it matters
Rare Earth Elements are inside every EV motor, wind turbine, and defence system. Canada has formally designated them critical minerals. This ground sits in the Bancroft Pegmatite District with confirmed yttrium 4× the typical economic cut-off. A comparable Bancroft block was optioned in Feb 2026 for $100K cash + $100K shares + 2% NSR. This block has denser historical documentation per hectare than that transaction.
Beardmore–Geraldton
Active
Claims: 1047358–1047375, 1047466–1047469

Key Signals
5.76 ppb Au (FA) — Gold-in-till on anchor cell D054. 3.8× regional background. Fire assay method. Upice signal confirmed by GSC Memoir 435 (Thorleifson 1993).
16.2 g/t Au — Hutchison Lake Mine average grade, 6.5km SW of D054 on the same N80°E structural trend. High-grade by any global standard.
CPI1 = 376 ppm — Airborne EM bedrock conductor on E-series block. TMF +592 to +1,235 nT — BIF-hosted sulfide character.
0.22 km to fault — D054 is 220m from a mapped structure. Typical proximity for orogenic Au trap sites.
Equinox Gold 14.9km — Greenstone Mine (Equinox) is one of Canada's newest large gold mines. Same Beardmore-Geraldton belt.
Why it matters
The Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt has produced gold since the 1930s. Hutchison Lake Mine — 6.5km from D054 on the same N80°E fault trend — averaged 16.2 g/t Au. The primary block captures the upice geochemical signature in till. The E-series sub-block captures a separate EM conductor suggesting a BIF-hosted sulfide target — a potentially distinct deposit type on the same ground.

Claim: 1047506 (42A02H249–253, 269–273, 290–292)

Key Signals
1,500 ppm Ni — Confirmed anomalous Ni in target intrusion. 1997 Aerodat heli-borne survey (Camphor Ventures). Paired with 1,500 ppm Cr and 27% MgO — confirmed ultramafic chemistry.
Anomaly D (heli-EM) — Discrete EM anomaly from 1997 helicopter-borne EM/Mag/VLF survey. Identifies the mafic/ultramafic intrusive body directly. Surveyed but never drilled.
27% MgO confirmed — Ultramafic chemistry confirmed. Same rock package that hosts Ni-Cu-PGE deposits across the Superior Province.
Why it matters
Ni-Cu-PGE deposits in mafic/ultramafic intrusions are among the most economically significant mineral systems globally. This block covers a geophysically-defined, geochemically-confirmed ultramafic intrusion surveyed in 1997 and then abandoned — not because the target failed, but because the commodity cycle moved on. It has never been drilled.

Assessment Reports
📄 1988 Barrick Aerodat Survey — magnetic linears
→ New Break Resources (CSE:NBRK)
holds 60 claims directly adjacent with an active 10,000m drill program in 2026 targeting the Zavitz Gold Zone on the same mafic volcanic iron formation units these cells cover.
Assessment Reports
📄 1997 Aerodat Heli-EM Survey — Anomaly D confirmed
Key Signals
Adjacent New Break (NBRK) — New Break Resources holds 60 claims directly adjacent. Active 10,000m drill program 2026. Zavitz Gold Zone. $24M market cap (CSE:NBRK).
Mafic volcanic belt — Unit 5 bedrock confirmed (basalt, andesite, iron formation). Granite-greenstone contact — structural setting for Abitibi orogenic Au.
Semple fault IP target — 2022 Cloudbreak report: Au + Cu in iron formation, recommended IP survey on Semple fault zone. Never conducted.
Top 500 / 28,207 cells — Province-wide geoscience scoring ranked these cells top 500 of all Ontario before any staking decisions.
Why it matters
The Abitibi Greenstone Belt produced over 180 million ounces of gold — the most productive in Canadian history. These cells sit on the granite-greenstone contact in the same iron formation units New Break is actively drilling in 2026. The recommended IP survey on the Semple fault has never been done despite a 2022 report specifically flagging it.
Clay-Howells Carbonatite

Claims: 1047512–1047514, 1047528 (B103, B104, B389, H173, H214)

→ Argyle Resources (CSE:ARGX)
drilled 7 holes on the eastern carbonatite body in 2025. B103/B104 sit on the western strike extension the 2010 drilling report explicitly flagged as open and undrilled.
Assessment Reports
📄 REM Inc. 2010 Drilling — 0.694% TREO / 105.5m
📄 REM Inc. 2011 Drilling — EM-targeted followup
📄 Argyle Resources 2025 Drilling — 0.76% TREO max
Key Signals
0.694% TREO / 105.5m — Drill-confirmed rare earth grade over 105.5m interval. Rare Earth Metals Inc. 2010 (assessment 20011336). Economic REE cut-off typically 0.3–0.5% TREO.
0.76% TREO maximum — Argyle Resources Corp 2025: 49 samples above 0.17%, 20 above 0.30%, 6 above 0.50% TREO.
Open to the west — 2010 report: “carbonatite remains open along strike to the west.” B103/B104 are on that untested extension.
96 historical drill holes — 1955–2025: Mattagami Mining, Chibougamau, Bewabik, Argor, Rare Earth Metals, Argyle Resources. Western extension is the gap.
Argyle Resources active 2026 — CSE-listed, optioned Apr 2025, drilled 7 holes, results published 2025. Adjacent claims active into 2026.
Dike through H214 — OGS MRD126 dike line runs through cell 42G16H214 (eastern contact zone of carbonatite). Dikes in carbonatite complexes are REE-bearing feeder structures. Visible on map.
Road access confirmed — Satellite imagery shows a road running along the dike lineament through H214. No trail-cutting required for initial field work — reduces first-season program cost.
Why it matters
This is the most data-rich block in the portfolio. The Clay-Howells carbonatite has been drilled 96 times since 1955 — the geology is not in question. These cells capture the western strike extension the 2010 drilling report explicitly identified as open and recommended for follow-up. An active CSE-listed junior (Argyle Resources) is working adjacent ground in 2026. REE and Nb are both designated critical minerals under Canada's Critical Minerals Strategy.
