Any geologist will tell you “geology knows no boundaries.” Often political
boundaries are arbitrarily drawn on the landscape and cut right through
prospective geological belts. This is the case with the boarders between Chile
and Peru, Peru and Ecuador, and most importantly Ontario and Manitoba.
The Rice Lake Belt is located just 80 km west of the Red Lake Mining District.
Although separated by the Manitoba-Ontario border both of these districts are
located within the Uchi Sub-province, have the same rock types, and are cut by
the same crustal fault.
“The important
geological similarities
between the Rice
Lake Belt and the
Red Lake Belt make
Rice Lake an ideal
location for finding
large, high grade
gold deposits.”
