The Munro Lake property comprises 2,480 hectares in northeastern Saskatchewan, 130 km northeast of La Ronge. It sits just 7 km northeast of SSR Mining’s Seabee mine and mill complex, roughly 5 km from the Santoy Gap mine and about 3 km from the haul road that services Seabee. Munro Lake is an early-stage gold exploration project that covers the northeast projection of the Laonil Lake Shear Zone, the structural corridor that controls gold mineralization at Seabee, and lies on trend with SSR Mining’s Santoy 2, 3 and CRJ100 zones. Although limited exploration work has been done so far, a 2013 program consisting of four diamond drill holes totalling 1,052 m yielded high-grade intercepts including 7.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 67.1 g/t Au over 1.02 m (see Wescan news release dated June 17, 2013), underscoring the property’s gold potential.
Location: Approximately 130km Northeast of La Ronge
Project Ownership: 100% Wescan Owned
The Munro Lake gold property is located in northeastern Saskatchewan, only 7 kilometers from SSR Mining’s Seabee Mine and Mill complex. Wescan holds a 100% interest in the project, which covers 2,480 hectares along the northeast projection of the Laonil Lake Shear Zone, the main gold-bearing structure hosting Seabee’s gold mineralization.
Wescan Exploration:
- 2011: Airborne EM survey and prospecting program completed to follow up on historic soil anomalies (see Wescan news release dated June 22, 2011).
- 2013: Winter drill program (4 holes totaling 1,052 m) intersected significant high-grade mineralization, including 5.6 g/t Au over 1.0 m (EXML-01) and 67.1 g/t Au over 1.02 m (EXML-02) (see Wescan news release dated June 17, 2013).
- 2018 & 2019: Field programs included reconnaissance prospecting, mapping, and geochemical sampling.
- 2024: Satellite Interpretation Study
Munro Lake remains an early stage but a highly prospective project for Wescan. Its location along the same shear zone hosting the Seabee Mine and contiguous with SSR Mining’s producing Santoy zones provides a compelling case for further exploration. Wescan is currently planning an exploration program for early 2026 to advance the project with follow-up drilling to expand on the high-grade results obtained from the 2013 drill program.
