  • Newly completed geophysical and geological studies along the Rang VI road on HPQ Beauce Gold Fields subsidiary Gold property located in St-Simon-Les-Mines, Quebec has identified a 1.5 km northeastern extension of the previously identified major fault line (May 11, 2017 release) beneath the Beauce placer gold channel
  • Furthermore, the geophysical and geological study along the road has also identified additional exploration targets for gold and base metal sulphide mineralizations.

MONTREAL, Oct. 02, 2018 – HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ) (FRANKFURT:UGE) (OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to inform shareholders that a newly completed geophysical and geological studies along the Rang VI road on HPQ Beauce Gold Fields subsidiary Gold property located in St-Simon-Les-Mines, Quebec has identified a 1.5 km northeastern extension of the previously identified major fault line (May 11, 2017 release) beneath the Beauce placer gold channel.  Furthermore, the geophysical and geological study along the road has also identified additional exploration targets for gold and base metal sulphide mineralizations.

Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of HPQ Beauce Gold Field stated, “This is another strong line of evidence that narrows our search to find the hard rock source of the St-Simon-Les-Mines gold placers.”  Mr. Levasseur also stated, “We’re also very excited by the potential for discovery of massive sulphide deposits within the volcanoclastic rocks of the Beauceville Formation.”

MAJOR FAULT LINE UNDER PLACER GOLD CHANNEL, AN INDICATOR OF HARD ROCK SOURCE

The Gilbert River basin (about section 3,200m on Figure 1) is marked by a strong contrast of electrical resistivity values on both sides of the river believed to represent a thrust or shear contact between sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Rocks south of the river are dominantly sedimentary and show the presence of formation conductors present mostly in synformal fold structures while north of the river the rocks are generally volcanic in origin, including volcaniclastic strata, are generally more resistive, and the conductive units narrower and shallower. This discontinuity corresponds also to the position of a linear anomaly of the total magnetic field and its tilt derivative field, which suggests the presence of a magnetic discontinuity related to the presence of a major fault zone, which the Gilbert River follows (Point F3 on Figure 1).

Parallel to the Gilbert river, under 15 to 40 meters of overburden, hosts a placer channel that is a six kilometre long unconsolidated gold-bearing sedimentary unit (a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite). Textural observations (angularity) of gold nuggets suggest a relatively proximal source and therefore a short transport distance (NI 43-101 Beauce Gold Property Report, Violet July 4 2018).

POTENTIAL FOR POLYMETALLIC MASSIVE SULPHIDE MINERALISATION

The survey data shows the presence of several conductors in the rocks from the Beauceville Formation (C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10 and C11). Some of these conductors are related to graphitic shales (C3, C6, C7) but other are associated with magnetic anomalies (C8, C9 and C11) and could be exploration targets for massive sulphide mineralization. The rocky outcrops present along the Rang VI Road have also been mapped. Several generations of quartz veins, sometimes associated with sulphides, intersect the rocks of the Beauceville Formation in the northern part of the Rang VI road. These veins testify to hydrothermal processes affecting the sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the area.

In addition to specifying the structural context of the St-Simon-les-Mines gold sector, the geophysical work of 2016 was extended in 2017 to the north-east to document the deep geology of the northern part of the Beauceville Formation.  This area is characterized by a greater proportion of volcanoclastic and volcanic rocks and a geological context similar to that of the Champagne massive sulphide deposit in the St-Magloire area (Bellechasse gold belt).  The audiomagnetotelluric data of the St-Gustave road section suggest the presence of a large conductor (conductor IV) with an estimated thickness of about 50 m and vertical extension in the order of 400 m (Fig. 1). This structure could correspond to a massive polymetallic sulphide mineralization. Additional work is planned to specify the geometry of this conductor.

Audiomagnetotellurics (AMT), Frequency Domain Electromagnetic (FDEM) Surveys

The work, carried out under the supervision of Professor Marc Richer-LaFlèche, Ph.D., P. geo, from INRS-Center Eau Terre et Environnement of Québec conducted a multidisciplinary geophysical and geological study to document the deep geological context of the Magog Group and, more specifically, of the Beauceville Formation (Bellechasse gold belt) under the St-Simon-les-Mines gold placer.

A 5.6 km long Audiomagnetotellurics (AMT) survey (113 stations per 50m) was conducted as well as a Frequency Domain Electromagnetic (FDEM) survey (112 stations) along Rang VI road.

The purpose of this survey was to assess the deep geology of this area and to verify the probable northeasterly extension of deep structures detected during the AMT survey conducted in 2016 on St-Gustave Rang Road (May 11 2017 PR).  The study of the geology and deep geophysics of rocks of the Beauceville Formation in order to improve the structural and metallogenic understanding of the region using AMT and FDEM method is used to locate potential fluid circulation corridors (faults) responsible for the emplacement of orogenic gold mineralization and to detect strong magnetic conductors potentially related to VMS or SEDEX mineralizations.

Marc Richer-LaFlèche PhD, P. Geo, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this press release.

Bernard J. Tourillon, Chairman, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon stated, “We are very excited by the confirmation of the extension of the fault line beneath the Placer Channel.  Once listed, Beauce Gold Fields will represent a unique opportunity for HPQ investors to have shares in two dedicated companies focused on building market awareness for their projects, progress, plans and success.”

About Beauce Gold Fields

BGF is a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ Silicon into which HPQ gold assets were transferred.   Subject to approval by TSX-V, HPQ is in the process of listing BGF as a new public junior gold company, following the approval by shareholders during HPQ AGM held on Aug. 10, 2018, of the proposed terms of the plan of arrangement.

The Beauce Gold Fields project is a unique, historically prolific gold property located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of Southern Quebec. Comprising of a block of 152 claims 100% owned by HPQ, the project area hosts a six kilometre long unconsolidated gold-bearing sedimentary unit (a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite). Textural observations (angularity) of gold nuggets suggest a relatively proximal source and therefore a short transport distance. The gold in saprolite indicates a close proximity to a bedrock source of gold, providing possible further exploration discoveries.  The property was also hosts numerous historical gold mines that were active from 1860s to the 1960s (see HPQ SEDAR-filed report).

  • Presented the initial parameters today for the feasibility study to be carried out on its Wasamac gold property by BBA
  • The study, to be completed in December 2018, will include assessment, design, engineering and costing for the mine, the processing plant, the tailings management facility and all the related services and infrastructure required to develop and mine the Wasamac deposit

MONTREAL, Sept. 25, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) presented the initial parameters today for the feasibility study to be carried out on its Wasamac gold property by BBA. The study, to be completed in December 2018, will include assessment, design, engineering and costing for the mine, the processing plant, the tailings management facility and all the related services and infrastructure required to develop and mine the Wasamac deposit.

Monarques is taking a different approach to the project than Wasamac’s previous owner. The Corporation will harness the latest technology and use a top-down rather than a bottom-up mining method in its attempt to put the Wasamac deposit into production at the best possible cost. Furthermore, the Corporation is opting for twin ramps and the use of the Rail-Veyor system underground to haul the mineralized material close to the railway, which will eliminate the hefty capital expenditures associated with building a shaft. The Rail-Veyor system is a promising new technology currently in use at Agnico Eagle’s Goldex project in Val-d’Or (see the Goldex Rail-Veyor system).

The study also assumes a production rate of 6,000 tonnes per day. In addition, the land acquired for the mill and tailings facility provides major advantages as it lies alongside the Ontario Northland railway track, on the other side of the Trans-Canada Highway, farther away from the local communities.

“We are working hard to make Wasamac a success, both economically and for the local communities,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “We want this project to fulfill the economic and environmental criteria and meet the local communities’ requirements, and we are confident that with BBA’s help, we can achieve that goal. We are also keeping open the option of custom milling the ore at one of the sites identified by BBA’s previous study (see map of potential sites).”

  • Goal is to increase the 165,608-ounce pit-constrained/underground gold resource
  • Announced the start of a new 8,350-metre diamond drilling program on its wholly-owned McKenzie Break gold property
    • located 25 kilometres north of Val-d’Or, near Monarques’ Camflo and Beacon mills.
    • Drilling started on September 13 with one drill, and a second drill will be added as the work progresses

MONTREAL, Sept. 18, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques”, “Monarques Gold” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to announce the start of a new 8,350-metre diamond drilling program on its wholly-owned McKenzie Break gold property, located 25 kilometres north of Val-d’Or, near Monarques’ Camflo and Beacon mills. Drilling started on September 13 with one drill, and a second drill will be added as the work progresses.

McKenzie Break is a high-grade, multiple-narrow-vein gold deposit hosted in the dioritic Pascalis batholith and underlain by porphyritic diorite and mafic and felsic volcanic rocks. On June 14, 2018, the Corporation reported an NI 43-101 pit-constrained resource of 48,133 ounces in the Indicated category and 14,897 ounces in the Inferred category on the property, as well as an underground resource of 53,448 ounces in the Indicated category and 49,130 ounces in the Inferred category, for a total of 165,608 ounces of gold (see press release dated June 14, 2018).

Historical drilling on the property totals 258 holes and 37,750 metres of core, most of which targeted the Green and Orange zones. The average length of the holes was only 150 metres. The current 39-hole drilling program will consist of holes 150 to 350 metres long to test the property’s potential at depth below the known lenses and on the periphery of the Green and Orange zones (see projected drilling map). The peripheral holes represent infill drilling in areas where information is missing, and could lead to an increase in the size of the planned open pit.

“The McKenzie Break property has great exploration potential,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “It has the advantages of being high grade at depth and easily accessible, as the average overburden thickness is only 5 metres, meaning that we could put the project into production relatively quickly. The program is aimed at increasing the property’s pit-constrained resource and exploring its potential at depth.”

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Ronald G. Leber, P.Geo., the Corporation’s qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.

$LAB.ca Labrador Gold Announces Preliminary Results from Hopedale $MOZ.ca $ANX.ca $GR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:01 PM on Monday, September 10th, 2018

  • Preliminary results from the first phase of detailed gold exploration in the Florence Lake greenstone belt (FLGB)
  • 7,783 soil samples were taken on 12 grids at a 100m line spacing and 25m sample spacing in the southern portion of the FLGB
  • Results of arsenic XRF analyses are used to focus exploration for potential gold-rich zones.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 10, 2018 — Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX-V: LAB) (“Labrador Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce preliminary results from the first phase of detailed gold exploration in the Florence Lake greenstone belt (FLGB). The company controls a 50 kilometre strike length of stratigraphy prospective for gold in the belt. The exploration program at Florence Lake followed up on successful results of 2017 and included detailed soil sampling, geological mapping, rock sampling and prospecting along the length of the belt.

A total of 7,783 soil samples were taken on 12 grids at a 100m line spacing and 25m sample spacing in the southern portion of the FLGB. All soils were dried for three days and analyzed by field portable XRF for multiple elements. Results show anomalous arsenic values in eight of the twelve grids with significant arsenic anomalies extending over 3.3km long by 800m wide and 1.5km long by 300m wide on the Misery grid and over 4.1km long by 600m wide on the Jasmine grid (see figures at www.labradorgold.com/Hopedale).

Given the good correlation of gold and arsenic anomalies shown by results of soil sampling during 2017, and the use of arsenic as a pathfinder for gold in greenstone belts, the results of arsenic XRF analyses are used to focus exploration for potential gold-rich zones.

The company is currently using an innovative technique, suggested by Technical Advisor Shawn Ryan, to follow up the soil anomalies. Geologists use a hand-held impact drill to drill 4 to 5 inch holes in outcrop in the anomalous area, collect the rock powder created and analyze it with the XRF while in the field. Use of a more homogeneous rock powder sample for XRF analysis than a simple rock chip allows for rapid in field assessment of the outcrops and further targets zones with potential for gold mineralization. Outcrops tested in this manner have shown arsenic anomalies on both the Jasmine and Misery grids (see figures at www.labradorgold.com/Hopedale).

Arsenic anomalies in soil and drill powder on the Misery grid coincide with a strong quartz carbonate alteration zone extending for more than 2km along strike. Anomalies on the Jasmine grid cover mafic volcanic rocks which are known to contain arsenopyrite locally in the wallrock of quartz veins (see news release dated August 14, 2018). In addition, recent prospecting in the vicinity of the soil and hand drill anomalies at Jasmine has uncovered a new arsenopyrite showing that has been followed along strike for 120 metres and remains open to the south.

“The use of XRF analyses of both soil and rock powder samples in the field is allowing rapid and efficient targeting of mineralized zones with the best potential, said Roger Moss, Labrador Gold Chief Executive Officer. “Discovery of arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization during follow up prospecting demonstrates the success of the technique.”

Further follow up is ongoing with prospecting, channel sampling and structural mapping of the known and recently discovered showings.

XRF Analysis

Both soil and rock powder samples were analyzed by an Reflex Delta Model DP-2000-CC using Innov-X Delta advanced PC software. Prior to the start of analyses each day a routine calibration check was performed on the instrument using a Reflex Sandard “cal check” coin. Soil samples are analyzed at base camp and rock powder samples are analyzed at the sample site.

About Labrador Gold:

Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in the Americas. In 2017 Labrador Gold signed a Letter of Intent under which the Company has the option to acquire 100% of the 896 square kilometre (km2) Ashuanipi property in northwest Labrador and the Nain (503 km2) and Hopedale (458 km2) properties in eastern Labrador.

The Hopedale property covers much of the Hunt River and Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretch over 80 km. The belts are typical of greenstone belts around the world but have been underexplored by comparison. Initial work by Labrador Gold during 2017 show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 kilometres along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details).

The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35 km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville, which is linked by rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment gold anomalies that, with the exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program. Results of the 2017 reconnaissance exploration program following up the lake sediment anomalies show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north-south trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east-west trend. The anomalies appear to be broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional scale (see news release dated January 18th 2018). This suggests a possible structural control on the localization of the gold anomalies. Historical work 30 km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width) (Source: IOS Services Geoscientifiques, 2012, Exploration and geological reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer Field Season 2011). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with similar rock types.

The Company has 51,442,552 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.
