ROVER METALS CORP. ANNOUNCES 3D INTERPRETATIVE EXPLORATION MODEL FOR THE CABIN LAKE GOLD PROJECT
Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) has developed a 3D interpretative video model summarizing the gold exploration work carried out on the Bugow Iron Formation, the known host of the historic gold mineralization on the Cabin Lake Gold Project, located 110 km north of Yellowknife. The 3D interpretative video model has been uploaded to Rover’s website for viewing by the public. The 3D model also includes both the recent geophysical and geochemical survey data, as well as Rover›s updated interpreted structure of the Bugow Iron Formation.
Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states: “There is tremendous blue sky potential for high grade gold discovery given the number of untested fold areas now identified within the iron formation vis-à-vis high grade gold discovered in the historical drilling campaigns in the 1980s.” The iron formation overlay can be found at time stamp 1:11 of the 3D video model.
Rover has found and GPS-referenced all the historic blasted trenches and small pits at the Andrew North and South Zones, as well as those located at the Beaver, Camp and other locations within the Property. The UAS magnetic survey was key to providing the required high-resolution and contrast on the Bugow Iron Formation, the known host of the Property’s gold mineralization. The 2018 ground geochemical soil survey produced multi-element (Au-Ag-As-S-Cu) anomalies over known mineralization zones and additional zones coincident with conceptual mineralized targets.
WOOD-MIZER INTRODUCES LX150 TWIN RAIL SAWMILL
Wood-Mizer introduces the LX150 twin rail sawmill designed for hobbyists and professionals looking for a robust, portable sawmill with powered saw head controls and a large 35 ½” width of cut ideal for sawing wide, live edge slabs. As the second LX series sawmill offered by Wood-Mizer in North America, the LX150 joins Wood-Mizer’s world-leading range of portable sawmills.
A key innovation of the LX sawmill series includes the rigid LX Frame sawhead tower that holds the control panel, engine, and the sawmill head. Accommodating a larger width and depth of cut, the LX Frame travels on twin parallel hardened steel rails on the bed and allows the operator to have better visibility while sawing.
“Wood-Mizer is dedicated to providing our customers with the best in-class sawmill and wood processing equipment on the market,” said Greg Bacon, Wood- Mizer Sales Director. “The LX150 gives sawyers a new twin-rail sawmill with a highly-durable bed configuration and saw head features such as optional SimpleSet Setworks and debarker for enhanced performance that are not available anywhere else in its class.”
The LX150 twin rail sawmill ships on a single pallet, comes with one Wood-Mizer sawmill blade, and requires minimal assembly time. With a 30-day money back guarantee, and 2-year sawmill warranty, the LX150 sawmill is backed by the same legendary service, quality, and safety features shared by the entire family of Wood-Mizer wood processing equipment. The LX150 is now available to order in North America, South America, and Oceania. For more information, visit www.woodmizer.com or contact a local Wood-Mizer representative.
