The property contains the favorable gold mineralized horizon which was a source of production at both the Hollinger and McIntyre mines. Exploration drilling will initially focus on targets between surface and 300 metres deep on the favorable gold mineralized horizon that trends along portions of the property. Drilling is planned to commence in 30 days.

Key Terms of Property Option Agreement

About McLaren Resources

In addition to this announcement of the newly optioned property in the heart of the Timmins Gold Camp, Mclaren operates and owns a 50 percent interest in the former gold producing Blue Quartz mine property (see news release of April 21, 2011) located in the gold producing district 70 km east of the city of Timmins, and is surrounded by several current and past gold producing mines. The property consists of 25 patented mining claims, covering 400 hectares (4 square kilometers) of Early Precambrian Geology, situated on gold mineralized geological structures within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. On August 8, 2011 McLaren expanded the size of the Blue Quartz property with the acquisition of a 100 percent interest in 8 contiguous mining claims totalling 260 hectares situated on strike to the west of the Blue Quartz Mine property. The acquisition more than doubled the mineralized strike length of the property. The Blue Quartz property is located in the north central part of Beatty Township and is located approximately 8 kilometers northwest of the producing Black Fox Mine, 12 kilometers northwest of the producing Hislop Mine and 14 kilometers northwest of the former producing Ross Mine.
