Hadn't noted it before... but, it looks like Temex was aware that the host for the Cobalt style silver mineralization might also be a host to gold...

"The Latchford Gold Project represents a "blue sky" gold project initiated in early 2004 following the discovery by prospecting of bonanza-style gold mineralization which returned 6,222 g/t gold from random grab samples of a calcite vein hosted in a block of detached bedrock. The original discovery location is on the Brett Property, approximately 20 kilometres south of Cobalt, Ontario. It is in a similar geological setting to the Cobalt silver camp, which produced in excess of 500 million ounces of silver from similar carbonate-hosted bonanza silver veins. The target area for mineralization is at or near the unconformity of flat-lying early Proterozoic rocks of the Cobalt Embayment, and underlying Archean volcanic rocks. Analyses determined that the block of rock containing high grade gold was most likely from a local source and the calcite host to the bonanza gold was typical of the calcite veins that host the Cobalt silver veins."
