Megastar Development Corp. has a 100% interest in 2 mining concessions consisting of 557 acres in the Louvicourt Township of Quebec, 20km east of Val-d'Or, Quebec. The SIMKAR Property is situated within the Late Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt, which is part of the central core of the North American craton known as Superior Province. The Abitibi Greenstone Belt is the largest of the Archean greenstone terranes of the world and is host to a major proportion of Canada's mineral resources.


Abitibi and other similar Archean granite-greenstone terranes are dominated by rapidly accreted primitive igneous rocks that form major building blocks of continental crust. When compared to other greenstone terranes, it contains higher proportion of supracrustal rocks than intrusive rocks.

The Abitibi Greenstone Belt appears to represent a series of stacked or thrusted subterranes that exhibit similar geological, geochemical, and isotopical signatures as those formed during the evolution of paried active-arc-back-arc systems. Each of these episodes is marked by the development of komatictic, tholeitic, and calc-alkaline igneous rocks. Each episode may be composed from base to opt of komatitic volcanic rocks overlain or interlayered with tholeitic volcanic rocks, which in turn are overlain by calcalkaline volcanics and finally capped by felsic alkaline volcanic rocks and/or chemical sediments. Individual cycles vary in thickness and composition. The development of each episode may be related to mantle activity.

The Grenville Province to the southeast resulted from Mesoproterozoic continental collision and consists of tectonically stacked slices of Late Archean and younger rocks. They are characterized by very different mechanism of crustal assembly than the Superior Province.

The SIMKAR Property is situated near the tectonic contact between two geological components of the area. It is underlain by igneous Malartic Group, that is exposed to the north of Cadillac Tectonic Zone. The younger, Pontiac Group metasediments, crop out to the south of the zone approximately 2 km south of the property.

The Malartic Group is represented by two volcanic formations, Heva and Val-d'Or. They are underlying a 5 km area between the Cadillac Tectonic Zone and Burlamaque Batholith to the north. Some researchers combine Heva and Val-d'Or as one volcanic suite called Val-d'Or volcanic complex (P. Sauvee, 1985). The burlamaque batholith, along with the smaller, Bevcon pluton to the northeast, are interpreted to be the sub-volcanic plugs. They are mainly of quartz-diorite composition and may also host gold mineralization.

The Heva volcanics underly the majority of the property area. It forms a homoelinal sequence steeply dipping to the south. It is locally folded and truncated by east-west shears and associated dykes and vein systems that are at oblique angle to Cadillac Tectonic Zone. The rock formations exhibit greenschist metamorphic facies within stability filed of biotite.
