Project Name
Lord Barron Project
Location
Little Bay, Newfoundland
A Copper & Gold Exploration Project
The nearby town of Springdale is home to an analytical Assay lab, mining equipment and parts suppliers, diamond drill contractors, geological, and many other exploration resources. The Property is near and along strike of the historic Little Bay, Whalesback, and Little Deer mines and hosts several additional exploration targets.
Property Geology
The Project is predominately underlain by rocks of the Lush’s Bight Group of the tectonostratigraphic Dunnage Zone of the Appalachian Orogen. The Lush’s Bight Group is a Cambro-Ordovician sequence of ophiolitic metavolcanic rocks representing a portion of the oceanic crust of the proto-Atlantic Ocean, the Iapetus Sea. The group has been metamorphosed to greenschist facies and has undergone extensive faulting related to the initial formation of oceanic crust as well as the Taconic and Acadian Orogenies. (Kean et al, 1995)
The Lush’s Bight Group contains more base metal sulphide showings per square kilometer than any other group of rocks in Newfoundland. The showings typically occur in an envelope of chlorite schist. (Dean, 1978)
