Athena Gold incoming CEO Koby Kushner joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the discovery of additional high-grade gold samples from the company’s reconnaissance prospecting program at the newly-acquired Laird Lake project in Ontario’s Red Lake Gold District. Spanning 4,158 hectares and covering 10 km, Laird Lake represents an underexplored yet highly promising portion of this prolific mining region. The project, accessible by road, is situated approximately 10 km west of West Red Lake Gold Mines' Madsen Mine and 34 km northwest of Kinross Gold’s Great Bear Project. Kushner highlighted a standout discovery, with one grab sample returning an impressive 373 g/t gold, marking the highest-grade sample ever collected at the site and one of the highest-grade surface grab samples publicly reported in the Red Lake Gold District. This finding underscores the project’s significant potential. Geologically, the Balmer-Confederation contact, a key structural feature associated with gold mineralization in the district, plays a pivotal role in Laird Lake’s prospectivity. Over 90% of all gold mined in the district has been found within 300 meters of this contact, amplifying the project’s importance. Looking ahead, Athena Gold plans to leverage these findings to guide a comprehensive property-wide geochemistry survey set to begin in H1 2025. The results of this survey are expected to refine drill targets for the company’s inaugural exploration program at Laird Lake, paving the way for potential resource expansion in one of Canada’s premier gold districts. #proctiveinvestors #athenagoldcorporation #cse #atha #otcqb #ahnr #GoldExploration #MiningNews #RedLakeGold #NevadaGold #GoldMiningProjects #ProactiveUpdates #MiningInvesting #GoldDiscoveries #investment #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
