Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. is a junior exploration company with a well positioned portfolio of properties prospective for precious and base metals that are situated in four major mining regions of British Columbia, Canada.
The Properties cover 18,000 ha. of mineral rights that include:
4537 ha.100% owned by Golden Dawn, located in the Stewart Mining Camp in Northwest B.C., near the Decade Resources' 2009 discovery.
6061 ha.100% owned by Golden Dawn located in the Toodoggone Belt of NorthCentral B.C.
4537 ha.100% owned by Golden Dawn located in the Cariboo region of Central B.C., near International Wayside's recent Bonanza Ledge discovery.
3550 ha, optioned by Golden Dawn in the Greenwood Mining District of South Central B.C.
Golden Dawn's strategy for 2010 is to focus attention on the three properties in the Greenwood mining district: the Royal Attwood, the Boundary Falls, and contiguous Wild Rose property. The Boundary Falls property has an existing historic Silver/Gold mine and a permitted processing facility (mill) on the property. (Click to See Pictures) and the Wild Rose property has a modern 450m adit intersecting the Wild Rose vein systems, click here for more information.
On the Boundary Falls property located 5 km south of the town of Greenwood via Highway #3, the Company will be conducting underground drilling to delineate Silver and Gold mineralization to justify the start up of the on-site mill. Parallel to this work the company will conduct exploration on the property which has been subject to drilling, trenching, ground geochemical and helicopter airborne EM and MAG surveys, to establish if potential for bulk tonnage and/or further vein systems are present.
On the Royal Attwood property, located 8 km from Grand forks via Highway #3, the existing extensive geochemical, ground geophysical, and helicopter airborne survey data base, has indicated that the responses of these surveys may indicate an analogy to the geology and deposit type of the historical Phoenix Mine located 5 km north of the Royal Attwood property, and to the several gold and copper-bearing magnetite ore-bodies in the Republic Mining belt, located immediately to the south in Washington State,USA. The company anticipates diamond drilling several targets on this property, which has not been drill tested.
Both properties have easy access from Highway #3 and are suitable for year around exploration in a friendly and historic mining area.
Wild Rose, the property (783 hectares) contains two main gold bearing zones; the Wild Rose and Deadwood zones. At the Wild Rose zone, three parallel, north-northwest trending, steeply dipping gold-bearing veins occur both within the Wild Rose fault and in the hanging wall of the fault zone. The veins are typically massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-chalcopyrite veins that average 1 to 2 meters in width, although locally they are quartz veins with lesser pyrrhotite and pyrite, and with minor arsenopyrite. Considerable drilling (and underground exploration in a modern adit ) has been done to test the veins.
Boundary Falls, property (1,000 hectares) located immediately southwest of the town of Greenwood and west of the productive Motherlode gold-copper area demonstrates coincident electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies. These occur in the vicinity of anomalous gold and copper geochemical anomalies within volcanic rocks similar to those hosting the volcanogenic massive sulphides of the Motherlode deposits that yielded 4.2 million tonnes at 0.87 per cent copper and 1.3 grams per tonne gold. A silver-gold mine and operational processing facilities are situated on the upper reaches of this claim block.
Royal Attwood, (1,800 hectares), located southeast of Greenwood, near the town of Grand Forks, and five kilometres south of the historical Phoenix copper-gold mine, shows very extensive soil gold anomalies and stream-sediment gold anomalies reaching 79 parts per million, 11 ppm and 17 ppm in three creeks on the property. Several areas of extensive base metal and gold mineralization have been prospected and trenched. These occurrences provide the background and impetus for drill testing of the strong airborne magnetic and electromagnetic and induced polarization anomalies that lie within the adjacent untested portions of the property.
Swan Property, Golden Dawn holds 100% interest in the Swan claims (6,061 hectares) in northwestern British Columbia part of the Toodoggone belt, 45 km north of the Kemess South Copper Gold Mine and also near the past producing precious metal mines; Lawyers, Baker, and Shasta. Golden Dawn has conducted two seasons of exploration on the property including a 2007 drill program. Current production and activity at the Kemess South Mine coupled with the high grade past precious metal mining in the area continues to attract explores into the region where the porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold-silver discovery potential is excellent.
Stewart Area Group, Stewart claims are 5 claim bocks in the vicinity of the recent spectacular Red Cliff gold discovery announced by Decade Resources Ltd, in the Stewart area of coastal northern British Columbia, Canada. These Golden Dawn Minerals blocks cover five different gold-silver-base metal showings lying south, north, and northwest of the Decade discovery area. Three blocks lie within the Hazelton Group of volcanics and volcanic-associated sediments which contain not only the Decade discovery prospect, but also the Stikine deposit, a current high-grade gold-silver producer, and the Silbak-Premier Mine, a former prolific high-grade gold-silver producer. The other two blocks lie within the contact of plutonic and sedimentary rocks.
Cariboo Gold and North Block, Cariboo is four blocks of mineral claims totaling 4607.42 ha, lying within the Cariboo region of central British Columbia, Canada. The four blocks lie northeast, northwest and west of the International Wayside Gold Mines Ltd.'s recent spectacular gold discoveries within the Bonanza Ledge property in the Barkerville Gold District. The closest block, Bowron block, is situated 13 km NE from the Bonanza Ledge zone and the farther one, Ahbau block, is 37 km NW. Recent activity in the Barkerville area, by International Wayside, has returned spectacular gold values over long intercepts in drilling including 84.4 meters (277 feet) of 16.5g/tonne (0.481 oz/ton) gold and 37.5 meters (123.1 feet) of 36.1 g/tonne (1.052 oz/ton) gold. These results reward many long years of exploration effort by International Wayside in this historical gold district of British Columbia.
