McLaren Resources Inc. announced that it has quintupled the size of its 100%-owned McCool gold property which is located in the prolific Timmins Gold Region of Northeastern Ontario, Canada where over 70 million ounces of gold have been produced to date. McLaren has recently acquired an additional 50 full mineral claims and 10 partial mineral claims, together comprising approximately 1,375 hectares ("ha"), from two independent prospectors from the Timmins area. The new claims are contiguous with the original McCool gold property and bring the total size of the property to approximately 1,650 ha. The majority of the new claims cover the northwest strike extension of the Centre Hill Fault which is host to the known gold mineralization on the McCool property and which is interpreted to be a splay off of the major Destor-Porcupine Deformation Zone which is host to many gold deposits in the area. The expanded McCool gold property now covers an approximate five kilometer strike length of the gold-bearing Centre Hill Fault. The original 275 ha McCool gold property, along with McLaren's 775 ha Kerrs gold property, were acquired from Newmont Corporation ("Newmont") in mid-2020 in exchange for a four-year option on McLaren's Augdome gold property which lies immediately east of Newmont's past-producing Dome Gold Mine in Timmins.
