They are located within the Exploits Subzone of prospective siliciclastic sediments with the northern properties along the northern extent of the Dog Bay Line and the southern properties along the Gander River Ultramafic Belt, which are both associated with gold mineralization in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMariner believes that the Exploits Subzone, which runs 200 kilometres from Dog Bay southwest to Bay d&#8217;Espoir, has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980s,\u201d the miner said in a media statement. \u201cThe last 40 years have seen incremental advancements in the understanding of gold mineralization in the camp. The sum of this knowledge is now coming together in discrete and effective exploration models that the company believes will drive major discovery. Mariner intends to leverage this shift in understanding and become one of the most extensive explorers in the Exploits Subzone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vancouver-based miner wants to acquire additional properties near its Mt.
