Cross River Ventures is focused on the development of top tier exploration properties in the premier mining district of Red Lake Ontario exploring for gold, and for several good reasons.

The Red Lake Mining jurisdiction hosts one of the largest mineral rich greenstone belt on the planet that has produced 200 million ounces of gold in over 100 years of mining. This includes a total gold endowment exceeding 300million ounces with over 124 mines and 21 plus deposits with more than 3 million ounces each.

Cross River hosts 7 Projects (over 28,000-hectares) within the prolific greenstone belts of NW Ontario, Canada which host the most productive gold deposits in the world.

This is where Cross River is targeting gold for discovery potential.

Armed with a world class technical team led by Dr. Rob Carpenter, who was the CEO of Kaminak,     ( acquired by Goldcorp for CDN $520 million), know how to plan and execute a exploration program designed specifically to make a discovery.

Cross Rivers Flagship McVicar Property is just one of the properties they are targeting for discovery. Situated close to the 3.8m Oz Springpole deposit controlled by First Mining Gold Corp. ( FF.TO ) it hosts 2 mineralized trends that are parallel to one another and include new surface discoveries of gold, as well as previous sampling of high grade with numerous results greater than 500g/t gold.

McVicar is ready to be fully explored and drill permits for the property have been issued for multiple target areas delineated via modern geophysics.

The recent driver of attention to the Red Lake area is the takeover of Great Bear Resources by Kinross Gold Corp. under which Kinross has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of the Red Lake explorer for C$29.00 per share, approximately $1.8-billion and being done without a resource calculation. This is primarily due to the excellent nature of their drill results.

The peer takeover speaks to the attractiveness of discovery potential and quality of the mining jurisdiction. Cross River is in the right neighborhood to make a discovery, at the right time in the market, and when attention in the area has never been greater.

Sit back and enjoy this great interview with Cross River Venture CEO Alex Klenman as he walks us through their objective to make a discovery equal to their peers in the Red Lake Mining District.
