New Break Acquires Invaluable Nunavut Exploration Data
October 21, 2021
Toronto, Ontario – New Break Resources Ltd. (“New Break” or the “Company”) is extremely pleased to announce the purchase of the Ken Reading Exploration Data set (the “Purchased Data” or the “Data”) for a cash payment of $74,000, of which Mr. Reading reinvested $20,000 into New Break’s June 2021 non-brokered private placement. Mr. Reading has also agreed to act as an advisor to the Company.
Ken Reading is a renowned Canadian prospector/geologist whose career began in the 1940’s and has spanned decades, including multiple field seasons working in Nunavut. The Purchased Data includes thin sections, rock slabs and panned concentrates, collected over multiple field seasons, in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, including reports and photos pertaining to New Break’s Sundog Gold Project (see news release October 18, 2021) and the Company’s Sy and Angikuni Lake mineral claims (see news release March 29, 2021).
Ken spent a significant amount of time in the early to mid 1980’s, staking and exploring the Sy Gold Project for Pan Ocean Explorations Inc. (“Pan Ocean”). He also spent time working on the Sy Project in 1986 for Homestake Mineral Development Co. who had optioned the Sy Project from Pan Ocean. Ken is regarded as the originator of the Sundog Gold Project, which he staked in June 1986 for Abermin Corporation. He spent parts of both the 1986 and 1987 field seasons performing exploration work at Sundog which included the collection of rock chip and panned concentrate samples and trenching. From 1989 through the early 1990’s, Ken preformed additional prospecting work for Comaplex Minerals Corp. within Kivalliq Region, including at the Meliadine property, which is now a significant gold mine operated by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. In 2013, Ken returned to Sundog at his own expense and collected 18 lithological samples for further characterization.
In addition to the Sundog and Sy Data, the Purchased Data also includes the same array of exploration information for the Hurwitz Proterozoic basins east and west of the Sundog Archean window. The Data identifies numerous gold occurrences in the Hurwitz basins which New Break is currently investigating, including gold occurrences on Crown Land which is open for staking and on Inuit Owned Mineral Title Lands for which an EOI could be submitted to Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (“NTI”).
Bill Love, New Break’s Vice President, Exploration commented, “The purchase of the Data set from Ken Reading and his involvement with the Company as an advisor, provides New Break with an invaluable resource to begin establishing the geology and mineralisation on the Company’s Sundog, Sy and Angikuni Lake properties. Additionally, the Hurwitz data will guide the Company in deciding on additional staking and potentially new expressions of interest with NTI. Ken has done a remarkable job in cataloging and preserving this data. By completing this transaction with Ken, New Break will be able to more precisely target its exploration efforts in Nunavut, saving significant time and capital that would otherwise take multiple field seasons to replicate.”
