The Bateman Gold Project (formerly Phoenix Gold) is an underground
development project owned and operated by Evolution Mining Limited. The
Bateman Gold Project is located in the southwestern part of Bateman Township
within the Red Lake mining district of northwestern Ontario, Canada,
approximately 150 km northwest of Dryden, Ontario, and 265 km northeast of
Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The stratigraphy in the East Bay area, where the Bateman Gold Project is
located, comprises rocks constituting the Balmer Assemblage: submarine
tholeiitic basalt; komatiite and komatiitic basalt with minor felsic
intrusive volcanic rock; iron formation; and fine‐grained clastic
metasedimentary rocks. The local geology comprises a series of mine grid
north-south trending, steeply dipping to sub‐vertical alternating panels of
talc-altered komatiitic ultramafic flows (ultramafic) and biotite and silica
altered basaltic mafic volcanic flows or titanium enriched flows (High‐Ti
Basalt) that have been boudinaged to form elongated lenses. The ultramafic
and High‐Ti Basalt units were intruded by dykes and sills of the felsic
intrusive unit pre- to syn-mineralization.
The Bateman Gold Project consists of the high-grade F2 Gold Deposit.
Completed infrastructure includes a commissioned shaft and significant
underground development, a 1,250 tonne per day mill facility, a tailings
management facility, electric power supply and substation and 200-person
camp.
On December 3, 2020, Battle North filed a National Instrument 43-101
Technical Report for the Bateman Gold Project Feasibility Study and reported
a reserve of 3.563 million tonnes grading 5.54 g/t gold, containing 635,000
ounces of gold, associated with the F2 Gold Deposit. On January 28, 2021
Battle North filed an Updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report
for the Bateman Gold Project.
