The Toronto-based miner also said that the area shows a large gold in till anomaly, measuring 8000 metres by 4000 metres.
"Carube staked the SBG project area because it shows significant exploration potential for saddle-reef and vein hosted gold mineralization. The large gold in till anomaly has never been followed up and the underlying Goldenville Formation is host to most of the gold produced historically in Nova Scotia," Stephen Hughes, Carube's CEO, said in the media brief. "The company is planning immediate boots-on-the-ground mapping and sampling in order to determine the source of the strong gold in till anomaly."
