Savant Gold Project, Ontario Canada
The Savant Gold Project is an exciting new exploration opportunity for BeMetals Corp. in a proven mining jurisdiction in northwestern Ontario.
Located approximately 240 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, the project covers over 229 square kilometres within the Savant Lake–Sturgeon Lake Greenstone Belt, part of the prolific Archean Superior Province — host to many of Canada’s major gold camps.
BeMetals is advancing Savant which offers district-scale potential to host both iron formation–hosted and shear-hosted gold systems of size.
Why the Savant Gold Project
- District-scale land position with >60 km of highly prospective greenstone belt strike.
- High-grade gold mineralization confirmed across multiple zones.
- Excellent infrastructure and access supporting efficient exploration logistics.
- Strong jurisdiction with established mining regulations and support for exploration.
Location & Infrastructure
- The property lies 30 km south of the community of Savant Lake, in northwestern Ontario.
- Excellent infrastructure: road access via the provincial highway network and proximity to the Canadian National Railway main line.
- Power and services are readily available within the region, enabling cost-effective exploration operations.
Geological Setting
The Savant Project is situated within the Savant Lake–Sturgeon Lake Greenstone Belt, characterized by Archean volcanic and sedimentary rocks intruded by felsic to mafic units.
Gold mineralization is primarily associated with banded iron formations (BIF) and major deformation corridors, similar in setting to significant deposits such as Musselwhite (Orla Mining) and Meadow Bank (Agnico Eagle).
Two regionally extensive structures define the primary exploration focus:
- Wiggle Deformation Zone (WDZ)
- Sheared and folded iron formations with pervasive silicification and quartz veining.
- Gold-bearing zones identified at the Wiggle Creek prospect with high-grade assays.
- Snowbird–Shoal Deformation Zone (SSDZ)
- A broad shear system with multiple gold prospects.
- Historical grab samples returning up to 99.6 g/t Au and 60 g/t Au from surface exposures.
Historical Exploration Highlights
- Historical surface programs collected 594 grab samples, many returning multi-gram gold values.
- High-grade assays include:
- 99.6 g/t Au and 60.1 g/t Au from Snowbird–Shoal trend.
- 6.72 g/t Au and 6.13 g/t Au from the Wiggle Creek area.
- Multiple untested gold-bearing trends identified along >60 km of prospective strike.
- Geological, geophysical, and geochemical datasets are being compiled to define priority drill targets.
2025 Surface Sampling Highlights (See press release dated February 12, 2026)
- A total of 68 grab samples were collected during the October 2025 field work program
- 34.70 g/t Au, and 8.95 g/t Au grab sample in highly strained, fine-grained metasedimentary rock with quartz veining
- Collected at the Wiggle Creek prospect, 850 m from previous diamond drilling, with historic surface sampling (notably 56.2 g/t Au), and is proximal to the Kashaweogama Lake Fault Zone
- Sample is within walking distance to the provincial highway
Next Steps
Phase 1 – Biogeochemical Sampling and Prospecting (Spring/Summer 2026)
Targeting iron formation-hosted gold mineralization
Exploration work will initially comprise biogeochemical sampling in the following areas:
- Areas with fold hinges and tight fold noses
- Mag lows in BIF that represent sulphide replacement zones
- Broader dispersion haloes of gold indicator metals e.g. silver, arsenic, bismuth, lead, selenium and tellurium (based on current rock sampling)
Prospecting & Mapping
- Ground crews of structural geologists and prospectors will sample and map magnetics and biogeochemical metal anomalies
Option Agreement with Prospector Metals
In September 2025, BeMetals entered into an option agreement with Prospector Metals Corp. (TSXV: PPP) to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Savant Gold Project. The agreement provides BeMetals with a clear pathway to control the project through a series of staged cash, share, and exploration expenditure commitments over a five-year period.
