Building Paraguay’s First Gold Mine

Paraguay is located in the centre of South American between Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina. The country is governed by a democratically elected parliament that is attempting to develop a mining industry to create jobs and tax revenue. Paraguay provides a low tax rate environment, a very efficient regulatory system and a helpful array of government agencies.

JANUARY 5, 2012 MEG LUNCHEON

Please join us for the Calgary Mineral Exploration Group Society's first luncheon of 2012 with David Laing!

Thursday, January 5, 2012 (1130 AM) in the Okanagan Room of the Ramada Hotel Downtown we're pleased to welcome Presenter David Laing exploring the Turkey Mountain porphyry copper gold prospect.

Turkey Mountain Abstract

The Turkey Mountain porphyry copper gold prospect is a grass roots exploration program targeting a circular aeromag anomaly in the center of a steep sided plateau locally known as Turkey Mountain.

Turkey Mountain is a remnant strato –volcano that has been age dated and found to date match Eocene Babine Intrusions at the Bell and Granisle mines. 

Turkey Mountain directly offsets both the Bell and Granisle mines and it is postulated that the intrusions containing mineralization at both of the legacy mines are off shoot conduits of the main intrusion at Turkey Mountain. 

The Bell mine recovered 1.2 million oz. silver, 0.4 million oz. gold, and 672 million lbs. copper, and the Granisle mine recovered 2.2 million oz. of silver, 0.2 million oz. of gold, and 472 million lbs. of copper.

Basics of Gravity and Magnetic Methods in Exploration

These passive geophysical methods aim to detect map-scale variations in the earth’s gravity and magnetic fields that are related to lateral variations in rock composition. Data recording can be done on the ground and in the air, on local and regional scales. Useful regional data coverage in North America is available free from government sources.
