TORONTO, CANADA (By Falcon Gold, 7.Nov.2025, Words: 325) — Falcon Gold Corp. reported onthe staking and acquisition of 689 mineral claims totaling 17,225 hectares in Central Newfoundland.
This acquisition secures a district-scale land position across a highly prospective corridor within the Victoria Lake Shear Zone, a structural system known to host high-grade gold mineralization.
The corridor bridges Sokoman Minerals’ Crippleback Lake Trend to the west and Benton Resources Stony Lake Caldera to the east, giving Falcon a commanding position over a largely underexplored section of the Central Newfoundland gold belt.
“Falcon now controls the key structural corridor between two active gold trends. The geology and magnetic signatures suggest multiple high-priority targets, making this one of the most compelling underexplored regions in Central Newfoundland,” said Falcon Gold CEO Karim Rayani.
Strategic corridor overview
— 17,225 hectares controlled by Falcon, bridging 2 major gold trends.
— 3 active players in the corridor:
— Sokoman Minerals – Crippleback Lake Trend to the west.
— Benton Resources – Stony Lake Caldera corridor to the east.
— Falcon Gold – bridging the structural and geophysical gap in the middle.
— Corridor lies along the Valentine Lake Fault system, a proven gold-bearing trend hosting the Valentine Gold Mine (Equinox Gold).
— multiple high-priority targets identified through structural and geophysical analysis.
— immediate exploration program includes magnetic reinterpretation, geochemical sampling, IP-Resistivity surveying, trenching, and Phase I scout drilling.
— project leadership includes Mike Kilbourne, P.Geo., a veteran geoscientist with 40+ years of experience.
— Falcon’s position allows the company to capture structural and geochemical continuity across a largely untested section of the belt.
Immediate work program
Falcon will mobilize a high-velocity exploration campaign, including:
- High-resolution magnetic reinterpretation and 3D structural modeling
- Extensive geochemical sampling and mapping
- IP-Resistivity surveying across priority targets
- Trenching followed by Phase I scout drilling
“We are moving quickly to get boots on the ground and advance exploration across the corridor. Our immediate work program is designed to generate targets that could lead to significant discoveries,” said Rayani.
