Uniquely endowed with many of the world's critical minerals
Ontario’s Ring of Fire region is an area of underexplored-unexplored Archean granites and greenstone belts of the Superior Geologic Province. Despite the Superior Province’s spectacular mineral endowment (including Timmins, Val D’or, Red Lake), the potential of the north-western Superior craton remains largely unknown.
The discovery of the Ring of Fire intrusive suite related mineralization shows that the Western Superior may be similarly endowed. The historic lack of exploration is due to: 1) access to the area is very difficult with no all-season roads, and 2) there is very little outcrop.
Juno is committed to exploring and making discoveries in the Ring of Fire and has built a program and a team to make discoveries. The company is purpose-built to work in the area with a corporate team with decades of experience in the Ring of Fire, backed by an experienced and creative technical team.
The Ring of Fire is endowed with incredible mineral wealth. With the discovery of Cu and Zn mineralization (VMS) in 2001, Cr mineralization in 2008, V-Ti-Fe mineralization in 2009, Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization in 2007, and Au in 2010, the Ring of Fire is Canada’s most exciting new mineral district. The Ring of Fire is named for the circular magnetic anomaly defined by magnetic units of the Ring of Fire intrusive suite.
Juno Corp Claim Map
Juno was formed in 2019 with the goal of systemically making discoveries in the Ring of Fire. The land package, the technical team, and the company itself are designed for critical metals exploration in Ontario’s Far North.
Juno has designed logistical and technical solutions to the problems of access and lack of exposure that have foiled other companies exploring in the region. The Juno team are using modern exploration techniques hand-in-hand with fundamental ESG practices, as we seek to elevate the region socially, economically, and ecologically. Juno’s project is located in the western Superior geological province.
The host to the metal mineralization are Neoarchean igneous and sedimentary rocks of the Ring of Fire complex, as mapped by the OGS and GSC. Historically the mineralization was considered to be confined to the Ring of Fire Intrusive Suite Rocks proximal to the Eagle’s Nest deposit in the South-east of the “Ring”.
The underlying structural controls are much more complex and Juno has amassed the largest claim package in the province as we work outwards from the known deposits, along other prospective vectors that fall outside the original "Ring". Deep seated structures appear to control Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization and geophysical work along these structures has revealed a number of exciting new targets. These targets are being worked up with new geophysical surveys and detailed analysis of existing data, to optimize future diamond drilling.
Juno has an extensive and diversified list of targets for elements including Ni-Cu-PGE, VMS polymetallic Cu-Zn-Au, Au, Ti-V, and Cr. The focus of the exploration team is applying cutting-edge geoscience to de-risk and understand each target area, while minimizing exploration impacts, and shortening the timeline to discovery in this Canadian mineral district.
