The KSZ Project is located in central Ontario and covers 114,084 hectares acquired through map staking. Situated within the Kapuskasing Structural Zone of the Abitibi-Wawa Sub-province of the Archean Superior Province, the project area is largely concealed by glacial overburden and exhibits low exploration maturity. KSZ is considered prospective for orogenic mineralisation, representing a compelling grassroots discovery opportunity within one of Ontario’s lesser-explored greenstone belts.
Location and Access
The KSZ project is located in central Ontario, approximately 80km west of Timmins and 40km northeast of Chapleau. The project area is accessible a network of logging roads and is transected by the Canadian National Railway’s transcontinental main line, offering excellent infrastructure for exploration activities.
Geology and Mineralisation
Situated within the Abitibi-Wawa Sub-province of the Archean Superior Province, the geology at KSZ is characterized by strongly deformed volcanic and sedimentary sequences, intruded by syn- to post-tectonic plutonic rocks, and metamorphosed from upper amphibolite to granulite facies in the Archean, and later exhumed along the prominent Kapuskasing Structural Zone. Despite the project’s favourable geological setting, very little historical exploration has been conducted. This vast underexplored area has the potential to host significant orogenic gold mineralisation in a world-class terrane, exemplified by the Borden Lake gold deposit, which lies 25km south of the project area.
Exploration History
The KSZ Project is located in a region of relatively low exploration maturity. Limited modern geochemical or detailed geophysical surveys have been conducted to date, presenting a compelling opportunity for grassroots discovery within one of Ontario’s lesser-explored terranes.
Summary of exploration activities conducted by Kenorland Minerals
Kenorland plans to complete a first-pass systematic regional till geochemical survey beginning in Q3 2025 to identify gold and trace element pathfinder anomalies. Results will guide future efforts to generate drill targets.
