Spruce Ridge Begins Magnetic Gradiometer Survey Over Recently Acquired Property in Newfoundland



November 29, 2021 - TheNewswire - Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SHL) (OTC:SRCGF) (“Spruce Ridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the beginning of Magnetic Gradiometer Survey over newly acquired property (See news release dated September 14, 2021) which is contiguous to the current Great Burnt Copper-Gold Property.  

 

The newly acquired claims cover a large, previously unexplored area underlain by Lower Paleozoic siliciclastic rocks, similar to those hosting recently discovered gold deposits on the Queensway Project of New Found Gold Corp. and the Moosehead Project of Sokoman Minerals Corp.  Re-interpretation of province-wide airborne magnetic data has indicated previously undocumented structural complexity, including a regional-scale fold and possible crustal-scale fault structures similar to the structures that are now known to localize gold mineralization in Central Newfoundland.  The fold feature may cause the mineralized horizon containing the Great Burnt copper deposit and the South Pond gold and copper-gold zones to be repeated on the western limb.  Local magnetic anomalies have been interpreted as possible ophiolite slivers along a northeast-trending structure that may be similar to the GRUB line.
