Epithermal Au, VMS and Intrusion-related Au
The Atlantic Project is located in western New Brunswick within the northern Appalachian orogen, covering a highly prospective segment of the Gander and Dunnage zones. Kenorland acquired 31,052 hectares through a purchase agreement and a further 119,779 contiguous hectares through map staking, bringing the total project area to 150,831 hectares. The project is underlain by Silurian to Devonian volcanic and sedimentary rocks intruded by felsic to mafic plutons, and is prospective for epithermal, VHMS, and intrusion-related mineralisation. With limited historical exploration, Atlantic represents a compelling grassroots discovery opportunity in an emerging district.
Location and Access
The Atlantic Project comprises two large claim blocks covering a total of 150,831 hectares in western New Brunswick. The property is situated within 15 kilometres of the town centres of Grand Falls and Plaster Rock, providing excellent access to local services and infrastructure. Provincial Highway 108 transects the project area including an extensive network of secondary and logging roads, enabling reliable, year-round access throughout much of the project area.
Geology and Mineralisation
The Atlantic Project is situated within the northern Appalachian orogen of western New Brunswick and spans a highly prospective segment of the Gander and Dunnage zones—geological domains known for hosting a variety of gold and polymetallic deposits. The project area encompasses a diverse assemblage of Silurian to Devonian volcanic, volcaniclastic, and sedimentary rocks intruded by felsic to mafic plutons. This setting is prospective for epithermal, VHMS and intrusion related mineralisation styles hosting significant Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, and Cu.
Key mineralised showings in the project area include the Williams Brook and Costigan Mountain epithermal systems, the Sewell Brook VHMS occurrence, and Lewis Brook epithermal prospect. These are situated along favourable structural corridors and lithologic contacts within the Tobique-Chaleur metallogenic belt, an emerging and actively explored district.
Exploration History
The Atlantic Project area has seen limited historical work, presenting a unique opportunity for new discoveries through the application of modern, systematic exploration.
Summary of exploration activities conducted by Kenorland Minerals
Kenorland plans to compile and digitize all available historical datasets related to the project and initiate a first-pass, regional geochemical sampling program during the 2025 summer field season.
