MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. pleased to share the highlights from a broad gravity survey completed over the Alwyn Copper-Gold Trend on it's 100% owned SPJ Property near Sudbury, Ontario. The 321.9 Ha gravity survey positioned along the 2.5 km Alwyn Cu-Au trend was testing for zones of stronger iron alteration under the Alwyn prospect, in which Cu-Au mineralization could be associated with specular hematite to form IOCG mineralization. The survey was completed with 100 m line spacing at a line azimuth of 45°/225°.

The survey extended 3.2 km along the McLaren Lake Fault Zone to cover the high and moderate priority targets proposed by ALS GoldSpot in May 2022. The MLFZ is highly prospective for polymetallic and critical metals mineralization. In addition to Alwyn, along the MLFZ on the SPJ Project the primary targets include the historic Ashigami mine and the Crerar showing, located 4.5 km and 9.5 km southeast of the Alwyn mine, respectively.

Exploration along this structure will continue to be a primary focus for MacDonald Mines throughout 2023. The results of the survey will now be integrated into ALS GoldSpot's machine learning technology to generate additional targets for future drilling and exploration beyond what the company have already planned.
