New Gold Camp? I have been to Galna (Timmins-Cochrane and those townships. It ~may be "some" new. It is also under 300 feet of clay so its not like there will be a lot of prospecting there. Also there are gold occurrences up near there. Good luck ot Queenston anyway and with the price of Gold these days, they will need it.

If you look at a mag map of that area you see a "shadow" of the Destor-Porcupine fault in a similar length feature that is under the clay beds west of Cochrane. I staked up there moons ago for some stuff although I know not know what the target was. It has similarities to the Casa Berardi in some ways. The greenstons is known to occur east west belts up there all the way to Hudson Bay under cover.

I also staked in Steele and Milligan Twps. (two of the mentioned townships) where there are two copper and gold showings from decades ago. Noranda had ground up there for quite while in some gold showings in Lake Abitibi and some base metal type anomalies to the north. It is well recognized that Lake Abitibi has gold showings along its shores on the south and north.

The gold showing in Steele was thought to be apocraphyl but got quite a bit of work at one time. I did see copper in place in a veinlet though near there. One can see evidence of a possible volcanic centre up there on the north-west of Abitibi Lake and there is Temiskaming sediment mapped east of that area, which "classically" was required for gold emplacement in the Timmins camp.
