Highlights:
The York Harbour Property covers the past-producing York Harbour copper-gold mine and approximately 12 kilometers of unexplored strike length. The York Harbour mine produced copper and gold between 1898 and 1913; the underground workings were last refurbished and permitted for underground development in 1977.
The mineralization at York Harbour is described as ophiolite-hosted copper-zinc-gold "Cyprus-type". Mineralization of this style is widespread in the ophiolitic rocks of western Newfoundland and includes more than 175 showings and 14 past-producing copper deposits.
Messina's York Harbour property is generative in nature and is at an early stage of exploration.
Future Work Programs:
Drilling adjacent to the York Harbour Mine (H and J Zone targets) is planned.
Drilling along strike from the York Harbour (K Zone target) is planned.
