Quadro Announces The Staking Of Claims In New Precious Metals Discovery Area Of Northern Newfoundland, Appoints Director And Issues Stock Options
Vancouver, B.C. January 18, 2018. Quadro Resources Ltd. (“Quadro” or the “Company”) (TSXV:QRO) announces that it has acquired by staking two claim blocks in the St. Anthony area on the Northern Peninsula, Newfoundland. The two blocks (Pistolet and Cape Rouge) total 122 claim units (30.5 sq km) and cover a portion of graphitic black argillaceous shale unit which is analogous to the geology which hosts White Metals Resources Corp.’s new gold discoveries (see TSXV:WHM press release dated Nov. 20, 2017). The Quadro claims were identified for staking based on the favorable geology and coincident Ag-in-lake sediment anomalies. White Metals Resources’ recent discoveries consist of highly anomalous gold within pyritic black shales found over a 15 sq. km area and this has led to significant additional staking by White Metals Resources and by other resource companies. The area could be a significant discovery in a unique environment and which may be analogous to large gold deposits hosted in black shales in other parts of the world, such as those in the Kalgoorlie area of Australia.
