Silver Range Resources Ltd. announces that it has staked and completed an initial examination of the Itchen Property near the Lupin Gold Mine in Nunavut.
The Itchen Property is 348 kilometres north northeast of Yellowknife, NWT and 78 kilometres west southwest of the Lupin Gold Mine. The property is underlain by Archean metasedimentary rocks which host numerous iron-formation-hosted gold occurrences in an arcuate belt including the Lupin Mine to the east. Exploration in the Itchen Lake area dates to the early 1960’s when gold was discovered at Contwoyto Lake. The development of the Lupin Mine in the early 1980’s spurred a second round of exploration but the Itchen Lake area has been quiet since 1990.
