Egan Description
The Egan was exposed during 2017 logging activity with no historic exploration work having been completed. Regional geological mapping, airborne magnetic surveys and till sampling dating from the 1980-1990’s by the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) identified a 5km train with elevated gold-in-till.

- 17 Composite grab samples were collected by Prosper Gold over a 25m north-south subcrop
- 14 of 17 samples contain anomalous gold values; eight assayed between 1.2 g/t Au & 22.9 g/t Au
- The gold-bearing quartz-carbonate stockwork zone is within the Bradley Lake Syenite approximately 700m east of its west contact with Abitibi volcanic rocks
