Hydrothermal Gold Property near Lake Shore Gold Deposit in Timmins, Ontario

The Costello Property is situated in a Gold Mineralized Environment

The Costello Property occurs immediately to the east of Lake Shore Gold's new Timmins West (Holmer) gold deposit that is currently under active development (shaft sinking).

“Gold mineralization in a quartz vein is found on a single outcrop with sulphide and tourmaline mineralization similar to the discovery outcrop at Timmins West surrounded completely by swampy flat land - the clay belt remains of a late Ice Age lake bed.

This former lakebed hides a number of major gold deposits in the Porcupine Gold Camp (e.g., those in Hoyle Township). Like Timmins West, the Costello Property’s land position has been neglected historically and is probably similar to the mineralized system that hosts the Timmins West deposit along and beside the Bristol fault - a structure that is parallel to the Porcupine-Destor Deformation Zone - the largest of a series of parallel deformation zones that are structurally associated with gold mineralization in the Porcupine Gold Camp.”
