The KAP Project

Project Overview

The property comprises 6 mineral claims, covering 7,500 hectares.
Integral Metals Corp. owns 100% interest in the KAP property.
Accessible from the town of Norman Wells via helicopter. The town provides essential services including a local airport, hotels, gas station, and outfitter.
Located northwest of Dal Lake, the property is situated on the east flank of the Redstone Arch, within the Fold Belt of the MacKenzie Mountains. Bedrock units predominantly consist of broadly folded carbonates and shales with intervening zones of complex folding and faulting.
Mineralization is stratabound, with numerous occurrences of disseminated and massive sphalerite and galena spread over a large area encompassed by the property, where high grade zinc, gallium, and germanium are associated with collapse and crackle breccias.

Project Location

The property is situated approximately 220 kilometers south of Norman Wells, NWT, and just 160 kilometers east of Wrigley, NWT.
The all-weather MacKenzie Highway extends to Wrigley and is serviceable throughout most of the year. Exploration activity staging can be performed at Dal Lake (20 km from project) where float-equipped aircraft can land and unload heavy equipment.
Situated on publicly-held Commissioner’s Land, well spaced from First Nation land withdrawals and National park spaces.
Positioned within the Mackenzie Mining District, NWT.

Project Geology

Location: East Proterozoic Redstone Arch, MacKenzie Fold Belt, Cordilleran Orogenic Zone

Regional Devonian carbonates are a favorable target zone for Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) orebodies.

Stratigraphic Contact: The Arnica-Landry Contact is exposed by steeply incised stream valleys, which cut down from a plateau area to expose mineralization

The abundance of known sphalerite-galena showings at the same stratigraphic level wherever this contact is exposed indicates high-potential for additional blind mineralization beneath the plateau over an 11 km x 13 km area.

Host Rocks: The Manetoe Facies of the Landry Formation

Mineralization is stratabound within this facies, where a 4.0 km x 1.5 km area is inferred to have the best potential for blind MVT deposits at less than 250 m depth below surface.

Geological Structures: Mineralization occurs on the limb of a gently dipping, broad syncline that characterizes the topography

The topography reveals the unit at surface, while structure-control provides an opportunity for more discoveries along the fold limbs.

Mineralized Characteristics: The Manetoe Facies exhibits brecciation, fracturing, granular dolomite, bitumen coated quartz needle silicification, dolspar, and calspar

These features are associated with MVT deposits, such as the historic Pine Point lead-zinc mine in the NWT.

Mineralization

Zinc-bearing Sphalerite is reportedly elevated in gallium (190 ppm) and germanium (770 ppm)*
High-grade, clean, coarse sphalerite ore so far discovered is expected to have excellent milling and beneficiation characteristics
The showings so far defined are associated with a collapse and crackle breccias that extend into the plateau area, providing the opportunity to discover significant blind zones of high-grade mineralization
Main Showing

*Averaged across 9 samples taken by Equinox Resources (1986)

Historical Work

1975: Cominco Ltd. performed a regional exploration program

1976: Cominco Ltd. performed geological mapping and sampling, soil geochemistry, trenching, and diamond drilling

Discovered the Blanche and Olaxis showings
Thirteen drill holes on the Main Showing Area up to 40 m depth; five holes returned 2.5 m to 13.5 m of zinc ore ranging from 10.3% to 32.3%
Several anomalous zones were identified by soil geochemistry samples exceeding 1,000 ppm Zn and 2,000 ppm Pb
Mapped the fold structure and identified the mineralized Manetoe Facies as being up to 80 m thick

1985: Equinox Resources Ltd. performed geochemical analysis

1994: Firesteel Resources Inc. performed geophysical surveying

1996: Firesteel Resources Inc. performed geophysical surveying and diamond drilling

Extended the gravity survey coverage to the northwest and southeast
Thirteen drill holes re-tested some of the 1976 holes; tested two of the gravity anomalies; and stepped out from the Main Showing
Results indicate excellent potential to find significant zones of high grade zinc along strike, towards the Breccia and Steep Creek Showings

1998: Firesteel Resource Inc. performed soil geochemistry
