Trillium Gold Mines (TSXV:TGM) has signed an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Bounty Gold Corp.’s Wenasaga Gold Property. The acquisition extends Trillium Gold’s dominant land position along the Confederation belt and is on trend with Kinross Gold’s LP Fault Zone of the Dixie Deposit. The Wenasaga Gold Property spans 1,692 hectares and is located 30 kilometres northeast of Ear Falls and 55 kilometres southeast of Red Lake, a prolific mining district. 

Historical drilling at the property to the west and on strike along the crystal fault structure intercepted highly deformed, chloritic and carbonate altered green basic metavolcanic rocks. It contains similar regional geology to the Dixie Project; it is underlain with felsic intrusive and metasedimentary rocks in the north. Trillium Gold’s exploration program at the property will be focused on delineating the fault structure transecting the Wenasaga Gold Property.
