Tracked you to your lair. Magnetite, silver, and uranium is not Goldcorp-Red Lake type mineralization but Roxby Downs type of intrusion related thing. It is not uncommon in Canada, but is not seen in this camp. Examples are Eldorado Uranium in Athabaska Lake which also has silver and copper. There are some rare instances in Ontario that I know of. The usual age is proterozoic. These ages of rocks are not common in Red Lake.

Their Crowsnest stuff (Solitaire) is also unusual in that it is related to alkaline intrusions. They missed that Kirkland Lake mineralization is also alkaline (syenite) related. The Crowsnest stuff could be related to a turn of the century Alberta gold find of legendary status called the Lost Lemon Mine. It may have been a find on the edge of the alkaline volcanic body in that area. Manto, and skarn deposits may occur in this area, and the mineralization has not been actively explored for.
