About Mosaic Minerals Corporation

 

Mosaic Minerals Corp., founded in 2018 is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking the potential of the Opawica Gold Project (“Opawica”) which is located in Québec’s renowned and very prolific Chibougamau mining district, Nord-du-Québec, within the famous Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Opawica was previously owned by Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (“Stellar”).

 

Mosaic is gold-focused and is concentrating its exploration efforts where the Company’s growth potential is the strongest. After incorporation Mosaic acquired Stellar’s Opawica project in a 100% share deal. Mosaic then completed a Plan of Arrangement with Stellar establishing a shareholder base of more than 1,000 new Mosaic shareholders and leaving Stellar with 5,200,000 shares of Mosaic. Since the acquisition Mosaic has actively explored Opawica completing its Phase I exploration program at the end of 2019 with results that warrant advancing with a Phase II program.

 

The Opawica Gold Project

 

Opawica is comprised of two claim blocks, the Philibert I and the Opawica North,located a few kilometers East and in the structural strike of the Nelligan Iamgold/Vanstar project. Surface sampling of the Philbert-I block showing by Laurentia Exploration during the 43-101 Technical Report field visit confirmed Stellar’s and other historical results returning gold grades of up to 9.24 g/t Au in some channel sampling of quartz injected structures. The gold mineralization is associated with millimetric to metric wide quartz veins structure cutting through the Obatogamau rock of Philibert-I block. These veins are observed across a 50-meter-long rock exposure and strike N 1100. Quartz veins contain tourmaline and pyrite and lies within an epidote-iron carbonates alteration envelope and most importantly, the structure is open laterally and vertically.

 

In December 2018, Mosaic mandated Dynamic Discovery to perform a resistivity and Induced Polarization (IP) coverage of the Philbert Block to increase the understanding of the geophysical characteristics of the Philbert-I gold showing. In conclusion, the geophysical response of the gold mineralization found within the property was better characterised, assisting with the selection of priority exploration targets. A total of 200 individual IP anomalies, further grouped as 47 chargeable lineaments, were defined. Among them, 11 axes are considered with higher potential to relate to mineralized occurrences and constitute high priority drilling targets.

About Mosaic’s Management

 

Mosaic benefits from a solid board of directors and strong executive management. Its members have documented business histories, successful exploration backgrounds, impressive histories of mine discoveries in Canada, Africa and South America, and established records of corporate success.

At the same time Iamgold optioned the Nelligan Project that was awarded “Discovery of the Year” at the Xplor Mining convention in Montreal in 2019.

 

Mosaic Executive VP and CFO John Cumming was formerly the Executive VP and CFO of West African gold explorer Merrex Gold Inc. In 2008 Mr. Cumming negotiated Merrex’s exploration Joint Venture with Iamgold Corporation which in 2014 discovered the Diakha gold deposit in West Mali.
