Fuller Property
The Fuller property consists of 14 claims having an area of 512
acres located in the Tisdale
and Deloro Townships, Timmins, Ontario. The property is accessed
from paved road and located 2 km southeast of the city of Timmins.
The property geology consists of the east west trending volcanic
flows that have produced more than 50 million gold ounces within a
3 mile radius of the property. Neighbours include the Dome Mine to
the East and the Hollinger and McIntyre Mines to the north and
northwest. *

In 1984 the fractured ownership of the Fuller Deposit
was consolidated under VG Gold's control. Exploration and development
work proceeded during the late 1980s. This work established a decline
ramp to a depth of 650 feet with 5 levels.
The Fuller property resource is situated in steeply dipping zones of sulphide mineralization. The gold zones appear to be the updip extension of Goldcorp's neighbouring Paymaster mine. The gold zones contain gold mineralization grading on an average of 8 grams per tonne. Future exploration work will continue to expand the gold resource of the Fuller property's potential, both to depth and along strike.
VG Gold filed a NI 43-101 compliant report on the Fuller Property in May 2006.
The property was developed in the 1980s with a decline ramp to 650 feet deep and five mine levels. In the late 1990s, VG Gold’s exploration drilling increased the resource tenfold to 600,000 gold ounces at a cost of $3 million.
Pre-production planning and permitting is taking place for future
gold production, and future exploration work will continue to expand
the gold resource at the Fuller Property.
