Without satellite photos to assist the observer, The Laronge Gold Project would leave one completely at sea, without a way to assess the value of the property, as there are no technical reports to rely on, no financial information in the balance sheet that one could call reliable information on cash flow, and no industry resources to give you a good fact basis to proceed, with th exception of historical information through the province.( The BCSC has noted that the technical reports as filed cannot be relied upon, but some of the details are factual. Grades and reserves as reported are preposterously absurd.)

But there are sat photos, which have been posted to the web since 2010, and the historical information provided by The Province Of Saskatchewan.

Tools -

First, you need some tools to locate the deposits:

latitude/longitude of a point:

Convert Geograohic and UTM coordinates(the province uses UTM)

Mallard Lake

Mallard a lake is the central part of the expansion plan. There are two ridges, one north and one south of the lake that form natural berms. You can make out the line cutting around the lake area. These lines show the intended expansion for Mallard Lake into a much larger tailings management facility. This plan has been in place for some time:

Jolu Mill/Mine

The Jolu Mill and mine have both been in service over the past four years or more, though the company only admits to the Jolu Mill being operational, and not the mine. Tens of millions have been poured into developing this prospect completely unannounced, and if you go through the news releases, you'll see that the zone comprising this prospect stretches 3km to the northeast. This is no small potatoes mining prospect.

Star Lake Mine/Mill

The Star Lake Mine, or Star Lake deposit runs northwest of the mill in that location, as you can see drilling plots that had seen deep drilling taking place over a couple of years. The stumbling block to understanding this deposit is that another deposit in the immediate vicinity was also being used to provide ore, The Fork Lake deposit that runs northeast from just south of the mill to the area above the northern tip of Fork Lake.

The Fork Lake deposit was referred to as The Star Lake Mine in the media, they had been misled into believing that somehow there was some sort of extension to the Star Lake deposit, but in reality, The Fork Lake deposit was providing the ore. Thus Star Lake and Fork Lake should be considered synonymous, as they use the same portal.

The Star Lake Deposit runs perpendicular to the main deposit, which is the Fork Lake Deposit, or the Kahn 21 Zone, as it is sometimes called, or the area between the Star Lake Mine portal and Island Lake comprising Fork Lake and Neyrinck Lake. The Star Lake Mine and the Fork Lake deposit at the north end of the lake are synonymous in the media, though they are distinct deposits. Any information along the 3km shear hosting Fork Lake and Neyrinck Lake has been withheld.

To add to the confusion, another mining prospect at the south end of fork lake, The Jasper Mine which is part of Wescan Goldfields(WGF.V) prospects, is also named after Fork Lake, due to its proximity to the southern end of the lake.

Note that the size of the Jolu Mine and Star Lake Mine are presumably similar, since Jolu stretches 3km, and the shear along the Fork Lake trend filled with gold showings is 3km, much like the size of the Sigma and Lamaque mines are roughly the same. A very strong analogy can be drawn between Sigma-Lamque and Jolu-Star Lake, in geological terms and mining potential.

There is a second operational mill which provides unrefined gold through the gravity circuit, and in the form of concentrate through a pipeline to the Jolu Mill. The company has made no mention of this second operational mill, though judging by its small stature, means the mine produces in excess of 1oz. per ton. 15g/t was reported for the Fork Lake mine but this is very likely understated. The second mill provides crushing and concentrate, probably removing the bulk of the unrefined gold through the gravity circuit, the rest being sent as concentrate via pipeline to the Jolu Mill.

This second mill would be providing the excess capacity through which the company means to achieve its production targets and capital requirements.

Roy Lloyd Mine

The Roy Loyd Mine has five distinct ore shoots, which the company has only ever presented one ore shoot in any sort of diagramme. The grades presented are all over the place, and if this mine was to provide the ore for the purposes of capital raise and expansion, then this mine aught to be very robust.

There was an initial technical report for the Bingo deposit which delved into the geology, and showed a truly amazing drill core log. But with the PEA, those important details simply disappeared in the subsequent release of the technical report for the PEA.

As you can see from these two photos a year apart, ore is being drawn from stockpiles during a time when the company claimed the project was on 'care and maintenance'

Komis Deposit

The Komis deposit, which bears a very strong analogy to the Dome deposit in Ontario, was supposed to be in production this fiscal year. What actually occurred is an unannounced, very extensive definition drill programme, rather than mine development, where only a few drill holes were posted, and lots of false declarations on how much work was being done on the property.

The work was actually undertaken at both the Jolu Mine, and Star Lake Mine. Immediately east of Round Lake, which was once the dome part of this particular geological formation, a large waste rock stockpile has accumulated. It didn't come from the Komis deposit. Waste rock was preserved from Roy Lloyd to refill the open pit.

There seem to be more buildings than really is necessary for definition drilling, but it will eventually become clear exactly what these buildings are for.

Tower Lake

The Tower Lake deposit consists of the Tower Lake, deposit, with the addition of the Phantom Zone which was drilled off unannounced in 2012. This particular deposit has one of the largest recorded glacial till trains for a gold deposit. A diagramme of the glacial till train can be found in the 2005 company presentation.

Zoom in very closely on the western shore of Tower Lake, and you will see a drill camp with a large collection of drill core boxes. This was an extensive unannounced drill programme:
