Windfall Geotek Announces Request for Binding Offers on Its First Copper and Gold Property with a Net Zero Carbon Footprint



 


DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN

Highlights:

  • - The Wachigabu property is the latest asset available to the market as a result of the strategic review undertaken by the board.

    - Windfall’s Wachigabu project is carbon neutral and the targets have been validated by a qualified person.

    - Project is proximal to the Shortt Lake Gold Mine and Mariposite deposit with road and powerline access.

    - Drill targets have high potential for Copper and Zinc. Copper and Zinc are input metals in batteries required for electrification, a key mitigation strategy to reduce global greenhouse gases.

 

Brossard, Quebec – TheNewswire - April 28, 2021 – Windfall Geotek Inc. (the “Company”, or “Windfall”) (TSXV:WIN) (OTC:WINKF) (FSE:L7C2) is pleased to announce the Wachigabu Copper & Gold Property in the La Ronde Township located in the Chibougamau-Matagami archean greenstone belt is available for option. This property has been developed using digital methods that limit greenhouse gas emissions.Where emissions were generated, these have been mitigated through purchasing of carbon offsets.

Dinesh Kandanchatha, Chairman & Interim CEO commented: “Last Friday CNN reported that the Biden administration has committed to cut US carbon emissions by 52% before 20301. Windfall has been leading the field of low carbon exploration since our first project in 2005. I expect that we are going to see all market participants be required to demonstrate they have made the necessary investments to meet society’s commodity requirements in a carbon neutral way.  Our Wachigabau Lake property is the next step on our decade long low- carbon emission journey.

 

Location, Access and Infrastructure of the Chapais Property:

  • - The Wachigabu Lake Property is located 40 km east of Desmaraisville and 60 km southwest of Chapais

    - The property is part of the La Ronde and La Ronciere townships and is located in NTS map sheet 32G/12. The center of the block is located at latitude 49° 34’ 43.6’’ N and longitude - 75° 38’ 40.6’’ W (453400mE, 5492000mN, NAD83 UTM zone 18)

    - Property comprises 48 map designated claims, totalling 2,679.31 (26.79 km2).

    - The property is accessible from Quebec Provincial Highway 113 via all weather gravel roads, which are part of a network of logging roads accessible from, 25 kilometres northeast of Desmaraisville.

    - Power lines run through the eastern portion of the property

      

Geological & Historical context

  • - The Wachigabau Lake property lies within the Southern band (Caopatina Segment) of the Chibougamau-Matagami archean greenstone belt.

    - The Caopatina Segment is a volcano-sedimentary rock assemblage composed of two principal formations: the Obatogamau formation, a vast plain of tholeiitic basalts with a few mafic to felsic volcanic centers, and the Caopatina formation, an overlying sedimentary sequence. These formations are part of the lower volcanic cycle of the Roy Group.

    - The region hosts rich mineral deposits such as:

    • - the Shortt Lake gold mine which is 12 km northwest of the property. Shortt Lake Reserves are 2,694,920 t at 4.59 g/t Au (GM 59755)3.

      - Mariposite deposit, located 6 km Northwest of the property, with reserves of 700,000 t at 2.0 g/t Au for the Mariposite zone and more than 2,000,000 t at 1.0 g/t Au for the west zone (GM 59755)3.

    - 2018 IP Survey identified a total of 152 individual IP anomalies, further grouped as 52 chargeable lineaments.

Nathan Tribble P.Geo, Director commented:  “The Chibougamau-Matagami region is well known for its abundance of precious metals with many big players in the area. This project is part of a new generation of mining projects that seek to chart a new path in the resource sectors relative greenhouse gas emissions. The existing infrastructure and digital exploration techniques of Windfall should mitigate Scope 1 and Scope 22 carbon impact while still creating the potential for a copper, zinc and gold resource.”
