Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. is exploring the base and precious metal potential at two properties in south eastern, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The Cape Breton region has a mining heritage dating back over 300 years. Industrial development associated with mining over the years has been the cornerstone of economic development. The region enjoys an excellent road system, close proximity to urban centres, deep water shipping, rail lines and power supply. The local mining culture coupled with a highly skilled work-force give the Silvore Fox properties a definite strategic and development advantage over many other prospects.

Coxheath Property


The Coxheath Property is situated just outside the port city of Sydney, Nova Scotia, approximately 14 km to the west. The property is composed of 118 claims and covers 1910 hectares. Paved roads and all weather secondary roads provide excellent access to the on-site core storage facility and core preparation building.

Exploration of the Coxheath Property has focussed on eight zones, including the historic Coxheath Copper Mine. Five zones are related to this porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold system in the western part of the claim block while an additional three highly altered and mineralized zones, 4 km to the east, suggest a genetically-related epithermal system.

Oceanview Property


The Oceanview Property is located approximately 27 km south of Sydney, and contains 196 claims, covering 3173 hectares. Oceanview is also easily accessible via paved and secondary roads.

Exploration work at the Oceanview base-metal skarn property (with silver, tin, cobalt and gold) focussed on two main areas, Copper Lake and MacIntyres/MacLeods Lake. The property benefits from previous extensive exploration and is situated among major geological features that make this property very attractive for further work.


Nictaux Property


The Nictaux Gold Property, located in western Nova Scotia is a vein-type, fault hosted Gold and Cobalt target. Previous exploration established that fault/shear zones along the granitoid -- sediment contact contained gold, Cobalt and Arsenic mineralization and extended 300-500 meters into the sediments. One -- 2 meter wide zone contained abundant irregular sulphide bearing quartz veins. Twelve samples from a 25 cm vein returned gold values ranging from 0.12 to 0.32 oz/ton, including one sample that contained 2.2 oz/ton gold, 0.4 to 2.2% Cobalt and 3.6 to 10% Arsenic . This vein strikes into a major fault zone mapped 1 km to the east. A recent IP survey has identified a significant chargeability anomaly (approximately 250 meters below this fault) which extends approximately 400 meters to the NE where it remains open with high grade samples, a significant 'open' IP anomaly, extensive faulting, and a favourable sedimentary/granitic contact.



Shortliff Property


The Shortliff Lake Property located in western Nova Scotia is primarily a base-metal (Copper, Zinc,Silver), fault related skarn target. Recent IP surveys (2007-2008) have identified a laterally extensive (minimum 3 km) chargeability anomaly (approximately 250 meters depth) up-ice of previously discovered sulphide bearing, hematitic and siliceous sediment breccia float that occur over the same distance (approximately 3 km). Boulders contained 0.5 - 29% Copper, 0.13% lead and up to 5 oz/ton silver. Similar rock types were intersected in a few shallow drill holes by Shell (1980) in wide alteration zones (9 -- 22 meters thick) of argillic limestones of the Lower Devonian, Torbrook Formation near the contact aureole of the South Mountain granite. The area is underlain by highly favourable geology for mineralization including, limestone host rocks, major fault systems and nearby metal-generating granitiod intrusions.
