  • Retained BBA to conduct a conceptual study for the transportation of gold-bearing material from the Wasamac deposit to an existing processing plant with an authorized tailings management facility in the region for custom milling

BBA retained to confirm Management’s strategy and to assess various options

MONTREAL, April 5, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSX-V: MQR) (OTCMKTS: MRQRF) (FRANKFURT: MR7) is pleased to announce that it has retained BBA to conduct a conceptual study for the transportation of gold-bearing material from the Wasamac deposit to an existing processing plant with an authorized tailings management facility in the region for custom milling. Since acquiring the Wasamac Gold project from Richmont Mines, Monarques’ management has been working towards unlocking the tremendous potential value of the project.

Monarques’ management has made it a priority to investigate any and all avenues to make Wasamac economical and profitable at a significantly lower gold price than the scenario that the previous owner was working with. A major breakthrough that Monarques has achieved is the realization that the Wasamac Gold project can be serviced by bulk, railcar transport. As such, Monarques could eliminate the extremely large capital outlay required to build a mill as it could potentially ship the Wasamac ore to any of a number of possible custom milling opportunities in the vicinity of Wasamac (see map of potential sites).

“We look forward to working with BBA to confirm our belief that the Wasamac Gold project could be profitable at a significantly lower gold price than what was envisioned under the previous owner. This is a potential game-changer for Monarques and its shareholders,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “Following the update of the Wasamac resource estimate last October, which established a measured and indicated resource of 2,587,900 ounces of gold (see press release), we decided to look into the various possible operating scenarios, including custom milling. This study will allow us to collect data and information for the option of mining the Wasamac deposit using custom milling at one of the processing plants in Quebec and Ontario. This option has the advantage of significantly reducing the initial cost of the project as we would not have to build a mill or a tailings facility.”

The first phase of the study will establish an inventory of the main mining and processing sites in operation and accessible by road and/or rail in the Abitibi region, in both Ontario and Quebec, with their locations and qualifications. The second phase will develop a concept for the transportation of mineralization and/or treatment sludge for the three best options selected from the sites identified in the previous phase. The main goal of this phase is to design a concept for transporting the mineralization from the Wasamac deposit to a regional processing plant and tailings facility for custom milling. The Corporation expects to receive the results of this study in May 2018.

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Marc-André Lavergne, P.Eng., the Corporation’s qualified person under National Instrument 43‑101.

Gratomic Inc $GRAT.ca Gratomic Announces 6.88% Cg Over 62 Metres at 100% Owned Buckingham Project #Graphite

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:55 AM on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2018

Gratomic large new

  •  %100 owned Buckingham graphite project in Quebec
  •  16.64% Cg  over 18 metres in drill hole CK18-07
  • 4.94% Cg was intersected over 66 metres in Hole CK18-09

TORONTO, April 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gratomic Inc. (“Gratomic” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:GRAT) (FRANKFURT:CB81) a vertically integrated graphite to graphenes, advanced materials development company is pleased to provide results from the diamond drilling program at its 100% owned Buckingham graphite project in Quebec. Results have now been received from all six holes, with assays up to 16.64% Cg (carbon as graphite) over 18 metres in drill hole CK18-07.

Gratomic’s Co-CEO Arno Brand stated, “The Buckingham results are inspiring and further validate that this asset has significant exploration merit.”

Highlights of the results received to date include a grade of 6.88% Cg over 62 metres in hole CK18-07, that included 12.75% Cg over 29 metres and included a higher grade 16.64% Cg interval over 18 metres, starting at a depth of 57 metres. A grade of 4.94% Cg was intersected over 66 metres in Hole CK18-09 from six metres, that included higher grade near surface intervals of 14.52% Cg over four metres and 13.52% Cg over three metres. A summary of the results is given in the table below.

 

The drilling follows up on positive results of previous work including airborne electromagnetics, trenching and a first stage drill program undertaken during 2016 and 2017. Hole CK-18-06 was drilled to the northwest to test the thickest portion of the 1.54 kilometre long northeast-southwest trending electromagnetic (EM) conductor and intersected low grade graphite mineralization associated with carbonate horizons in quartzo-feldspatic gneiss. Hole CK 18-07 was drilled to the southeast through the conductor between trenches 5 and 6 from the 2017 program. The hole intersected three graphite zones between 30 and 146 metres, with the highest grades associated with marble zones within gneiss. Hole CK18-08 was collared approximately 50m north of hole CK18-06 and drilled to the southeast. It intersected two graphite zones from 46 to 63 metres and from 95 to 108 metres with higher grades again associated with marble horizons. Hole CK18-09 was drilled to the northwest across a narrowing of the EM anomaly and intersected three graphite zones between 6 metres and 157 metres. Graphite mineralization in the near surface zone is associated with intervals of marble within the gneiss. Holes CK18-10 and CK18-11 were drilled across conductors in the vicinity of trench 2 and trench 10, respectively. Both holes showed relatively narrow intervals of graphite associated with marble.

All samples were placed in a plastic sample bag along with a sample tag. Bags were sealed with a single use tie. Samples were securely stored prior to shipping to SGS in Lakefield Ontario. Samples were crushed, milled and roasted and treated by HCl leach prior to being assayed by the combustion infrared technique (LECO). The Company routinely submits standards, duplicates and blanks with sample batches to monitor the quality of the assays.

#Gold Climbs After #China Imposes Tariffs $AMK.ca $EXS.ca $GGX.ca $GR.ca $GZD.a $MQR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:41 AM on Monday, April 2nd, 2018
  • Gold prices rose Monday after China imposed tariffs on a range of U.S. goods, following through on a promise to retaliate against the Trump administration’s penalties on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum
  • Gold for June delivery added 0.8% to $1,337.40 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange
By Amrith Ramkumar

April 2, 2018 10:19 a.m. ET

Gold prices rose Monday after China imposed tariffs on a range of U.S. goods, following through on a promise to retaliate against the Trump administration’s penalties on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.

Gold for June delivery added 0.8% to $1,337.40 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have stayed between about $1,305 and $1,360 this year, moving within that range based on safe-haven demand from investors, swings in the dollar and worries about higher interest rates.

Some money managers favor gold when they think markets might turn rocky. Protectionist trade policies from the U.S. and China have stoked fears of a global trade war that leads to higher manufacturing costs and eventually slower economic growth, pushing some traders to scoop up gold.

The Chinese penalties range from 25% on American pork and eight other kinds of goods to 15% on fruit and 120 types of commodities, according to the Chinese Finance Ministry.

“Last night’s tariff news from China spooked the market, took the dollar lower and gave us a lot of safe-haven buying in gold,” said Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.

A weaker dollar boosts gold by making it and other dollar-denominated commodities cheaper for overseas buyers. The WSJ Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against a basket of 16 others, pared early losses and was recently up less than 0.1%.

Investors will be monitoring speeches from Federal Reserve officials and economic data this week for the latest clues about the path for higher interest rates. Gold struggles to compete with yield-bearing assets as borrowing costs rise, and the prospect of two or three more increases following March’s rate increase has limited price gains, according to analysts.

“Rates are going to hang over any gold rally we have for the remainder of the year,” Mr. Haberkorn said.

Among base metals, copper for May delivery added 0.7% to $3.0480 a pound. Prices fell 7.9% in the first quarter to end an eight-quarter winning streak, hurt by trade tensions and lukewarm Chinese economic data. However, data released over the weekend showed an official gauge of China’s factory activity rose to a three-month high in March, as factories ramped up production following the Lunar New Year holiday.

Some investors expect data to pick up as the year goes on and supply disruptions from mining labor contracts up for renegotiations to buoy prices.

Monarques Gold $MQR.ca reports new high-grade #gold results from its 2017 drilling program at the Beaufor Mine $MUX.ca $SII.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:28 AM on Tuesday, March 27th, 2018

MONTREAL, March 27, 2018

  • Exploration drilling intersected new veins subparallel to Zone Q, including:
    • 32.28 g/t Au over 2.10 metres, including 62.40 g/t Au over 1.10 metres
    • 7.55 g/t Au over 4.00 metres, including 20.80 g/t Au over 1.00 metre
  • Definition drilling continued to intersect high-grade gold zones, including:
    • 13.41 g/t Au over 4.75 metres, including 89.85 g/t Au over 0.50 metres
    • 17.34 g/t Au over 3.30 metres, including 59.00 g/t Au over 0.80 metres
    • 10.11 g/t Au over 2.50 metres, including 27.40 g/t Au over 0.55 metres
    • 8.82 g/t Au over 2.50 metres, including 25.95 g/t Au over 0.60 metres
  • A 30,000-metre drilling program has been under way at the Beaufor Mine since the beginning of 2018 to increase the resources and extend the mine life. 

MONTREAL, March 27, 2018  – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSX.V:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report new results that mark the end of its 2017 drilling program at the Beaufor Mine. The results are from a total of 7,157 metres of drilling in 52 holes, including 5 exploration holes (2,651 metres) and 47 definition drill holes (4,506 metres). The holes were drilled in multiple areas of the mine, including zone Q, QH2 and 32 and the 350H, 1700 and Granodiorite East projects (see composite schematic section).

Results of exploration drilling:

Zone Q
Zone Q is the main zone currently in production at the Beaufor Mine. Two holes were drilled in the eastern part of the zone, outside the known reserve and resource envelope, to test for structural continuity and the presence of mineralized veins in the hangingwall and footwall. Holes 142-89 and 142-95 (see section 1690E) were drilled to a final depth of 654 and 460 metres, respectively. Both holes intersected Zone Q, as well as mineralized veins in the footwall of the zone (QF veins).

The QF veins returned the following significant results:

  • Hole 142-89 intersected 7.55 g/t Au over 4.00 metres, including 20.80 g/t Au over 1.00 metre, as well as 11.75 g/t Au over 2.00 metres and 24.25 g/t Au over 1.00 metre.
  • Hole 142-95 intersected 32.28 g/t Au over 2.10 metres, including 62.40 g/t Au over 1.10 metres, and 13.74 g/t Au over 2.70 metres, including 36.55 g/t Au over 0.90 metres.

The characteristics of the QF veins are similar to those of the typical known veins at the Beaufor Mine, which are quartz-tourmaline veins with disseminated pyrite associated with diorite dykes.

“The strategy of testing the east and depth extensions of Zone Q with exploration holes has paid off, as we were able to identify a good gold potential in the Zone Q footwall,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “Based on the results obtained to date, we think that we’ll be able to increase the mineral resource in this area.  We will do more in-depth follow-up on the QF veins as part of the 2018 drilling program already under way.”

1700 and Granodiorite East projects
Three other exploration holes (142-74, 150-63b and 156-13) were drilled in the 1700 and Granodiorite East project areas, for a total of 1,537 metres. The 1700 project returned the best result, with 26.70 g/t Au over 0.50 metres in Hole 156-13 associated with a quartz vein containing 30% pyrite. Additional drilling is needed for a better understanding of the geometry of the veins in this area, as little is currently known about their extensions.

Results of definition drilling:

Zone Q
Six holes were drilled for a total of 1,504 metres. Hole 150-64 tested the eastern part of Zone Q and the remaining five holes were drilled in the western part of the zone. All the holes intersected Zone Q, and some also intersected QH veins less than 100 metres into the Zone Q hangingwall.

The best intersections for Zone Q were:

  • Hole 101-100 intersected 13.41 g/t Au over 4.75 metres, including 89.85 g/t Au over 0.50 metres.
  • Hole 101-183 intersected 18.75 g/t Au over 0.50 metres.

The best results for the QH veins, intersected in the Zone Q hangingwall, were:

  • Hole 150-64 intersected 22.40 g/t Au over 0.70 metres and 58.90 g/t Au over 0.60 metres.
  • Hole 101-100 intersected 46.95 g/t Au over 0.65 metres.
  • Hole 101-104 intersected 16.63 g/t Au over 0.70 metres.

The correlation between the QH and QF veins, located at various distances apart in the Zone Q hangingwall and footwall, is not yet well understood or defined, and additional drilling is needed to better understand their geometry.

Zone QH2

Twenty-two infill holes were drilled on a 12.5 m by 12.5 m spacing from the 193 sublevel in Zone Q, for a total of 1,286 metres of drilling. The holes confirmed the continuity of the zone over a distance of approximately 120 metres along strike and approximately 50 metres vertically.

The best results for Zone QH2 were:

  • Hole 146-37 intersected 17.34 g/t Au over 3.30 metres, including 59.00 g/t Au over 0.80 metres.
  • Hole 142-90 intersected 10.11 g/t Au over 2.50 metres, including 27.40 g/t Au over 0.55 metres.
  • Hole 142-80 intersected 11.25 g/t Au over 0.75 metres.

Zone QH2 is a QH-type vein located in the eastern part of Zone Q. It dips an average 30 to 35 degrees to the south (compared to 45 degrees for Zone Q) and sits an average of about 30 metres into the Zone Q hangingwall. The drilled area is accessible from the 193 sublevel of Zone Q and a drift is currently being driven towards the zone. Additional drilling is planned in an adjacent area to confirm the vein extensions to the east and at depth along the structure.

Zone 32
Three holes were drilled for a total of 266 metres of drilling. The holes tested an open area to the west of an old stope mined from level 13 of the mine. Zone 32 was intersected in two of the three holes.

The best results for Zone 32 were:

  • Hole 108-156 intersected 8.82 g/t Au over 2.50 metres, including 25.95 g/t Au over 0.60 metres.

The drilling confirmed the continuity of Zone 32 on the west side of a late, low-displacement fault. More drilling is planned to characterize an untested area approximately 25 m by 40 m to the west of the three completed holes.

350H project
Sixteen infill holes totalling 1,450 metres were drilled over a distance of about 100 metres along strike and 50 metres vertically.

The best results for veins 350H, H1 and H2 were:

  • Hole 48-07 intersected 60.65 g/t Au over 0.60 metres.
  • Hole 48-09 intersected 10.73 g/t Au over 0.50 metres.
  • Hole 48-10 intersected 8.20 g/t Au over 2.05 metres.
  • Hole 48-13 intersected 11.21 g/t Au over 0.50 metres.
  • Hole 48-14 intersected 10.25 g/t Au over 0.65 metres.
  • Hole 51-06 intersected 26.14 g/t Au over 1.15 metres.

The 350H project is located in the area of the mine’s external ramp. Veins 350H, 350H1 and 350H2 are stacked structures spaced some 10 m to 20 m apart in the direction perpendicular to their dip (30-35 degrees). The best continuity identified by drilling is associated with vein 350H1.

Quality control and qualified person
Sampling normally consists of sawing the core into two equal halves along its main axis and shipping one of the halves to Val-d’Or for assaying at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory, which is fully accredited under ISO 17025. The samples are crushed, pulverized and assayed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish. Results exceeding 10.0 g/t are re-assayed using gravimetric finish. Certified standards and blanks are inserted into the sampling stream for quality control purposes.

$GLI.ca Glacier Lake Completes Phase 1 Drill Program at Silver Vista $IVN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:10 AM on Monday, March 26th, 2018

  • Initial drill program focused on the “MR” area, a clastic sediment-hosted, fine-grained, disseminated copper-silver zone
  • Seven (7) holes, totaling 1,273 metres were completed
  • 2 deeper holes (average depth 282.4 meters) drilled southeast to northwest
  • 5 shallower holes with an average depth (142.0 meters) drilled northwest to southeast

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glacier Lake Resources Inc. (TSX-V:GLI) (“Glacier” or the “Company”) has completed the Phase 1 diamond drill program on its Silver Vista property near Smithers, British Columbia. This initial drill program was focused on the main “MR” showing, a clastic sediment-hosted, fine-grained, disseminated copper-silver zone. The core for Hole SV18-01 has been sent to the ALS Minerals laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. with results to be released once received and reviewed.

Seven (7) holes, totaling 1,273 metres were completed. Glacier’s program represents the first drilling on the Silver Vista property since the 1991-1992 Equity Silver Mines Ltd. (a division of Placer Dome Inc., now Barrick Gold Corp.) program of 14 holes, totaling 1,252.5 metres.  The 2018 program comprised two deeper holes (average depth 282.4 meters) drilled southeast to northwest and five shallower holes (average depth (142.0 meters) drilled northwest to southeast, testing mineralization in the historic Equity drill holes, and/or soil and rock Ag and Cu surface geochemistry from the 2011 to 2013 Amarc Resources Ltd., surface programs.

The drilling indicates a moderate, north to northwest dip to the sedimentary units. Visible mineralization is not obvious, so Glacier employed a portable XRF unit to aid in identification of mineralized zones to assist in drilling of subsequent holes. Elevated levels of silver, copper and zinc were noted in multiple horizons within the drill holes.  Glacier Lake cautions investors the XRF readings were used only to direct subsequent drilling and only analyses from the North Vancouver ALS Minerals laboratory will be reported and relied on by the Company.

Upon receipt and review of the assay data from the 2018 drill program, Company geologists will plan and budget a surface program to start after spring break-up. While the main “MR” road-cut showing is the most advanced target, Amarc 2011 to 2013 soil geochemistry outlined an area of anomalous Ag and Cu approximately 1.5 kilometres by 2.0 kilometres around the MR prospect area. This area had multiple Ag and Cu soil geochemical anomalies also defined.

Further details can be found in the 43-101 report on the property located under the Company’s SEDAR profile.

Quality assurance/quality control

The entire length of core for each of the 7 drill holes are currently being sawn and sampled at continuous 1.0 metre intervals, with occasional shorter or longer intervals based on apparent wall rock and mineralization contact. Supervision, organization and splitting of drilling core samples are undertaken by personnel from geological consultant Mammoth Geological Ltd. Half of the core will be securely shipped to the laboratory for analysis and the other half retained in a secure storage location. Certified reference standards and blanks will be placed in the sample stream of each drill hole alternating at every 25th interval. Samples were packed into rice bags, zap-strapped and securely stored until they were turned over to the local trucking company for transport to the ALS Minerals Laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C.

All core samples will be analyzed utilizing ALS’s MEICP-61 procedure, a four-acid digestion of a one-gram sample with an ICP finish. Samples with over limit copper or silver values will receive an ME-OG62 analysis, a four-acid digestion of a 0.5-gram sample with ICP-AES finish.

A routine quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedure is adopted to monitor the analytical quality at the lab. Certified reference materials (CRMs), pulp duplicates and blanks are inserted into each lab batch of samples. QA/QC data at the lab are attached to the assay certificates for each batch of samples.

Further details can be found in the recently completed 43-101 report on the property located under the Company’s SEDAR profile.

The Company also wishes to clarify the finders’ fees which were paid in connection with completion of its private placement of units announced on March 19, 2018.  In connection with closing of the placement, the Company paid cash commissions of $31,807.20, issued 258,920 common share purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”), and 259,200 finders’ options (each, a “Finders’ Option”).  Each “Warrant” entitles the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 for a period of twenty-four months, subject to accelerated expiry in the event the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is $0.25 or higher for ten consecutive trading days.  Each “Finders’ Option” entitles the holder to acquire a unit of the Company consisting of one common share and one Warrant, at a price of $0.06 for a period of twenty-four months.

All Warrants and Finders’ Options issued in connection with the placement are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period.

Subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company will grant 500,000 incentive stock options to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The options vest immediately and are exercisable at a price of $0.09 per share for a period of 5 years. The options are granted pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan and will be subject to applicable regulatory hold periods.

Explor Acquires Hoyle Township Exploration Property

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:09 PM on Wednesday, March 21st, 2018

Exs logo

  • Announced the acquisition of eight mining claims situated in the Hoyle Township, in the Porcupine Mining Division, District of Cochrane,  Province of Ontario for a total of 1036.4 hectares
  • Claims are located in Hoyle Township, north of Bell Creek, Owl Creek and Hoyle Pond gold Mines

ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, March 21, 2018 – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or “the Corporation”) (TSX-V:EXS) (OTCQB:EXSFF) (FSE:E1H1) (BE:E1H1) is pleased to announce the acquisition of eight (8) mining claims (64 claim units) situated in the Hoyle Township, in the Porcupine Mining Division, District of Cochrane,  Province of Ontario for a total of 1036.4 hectares. These claims are located in Hoyle Township, north of Bell Creek, Owl Creek and Hoyle Pond gold Mines. Highway 101, south of the property, provides excellent access to the property and to the city of Timmins. These claims were acquired because of results obtained by Tahoe Resources and Goldcorp in their exploration programs in Hoyle Township.

Explor will pay CDN $1,000 and issue 3,000,000 common shares to acquire a 100% interest in the property. This acquisition is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

With this acquisition, Explor’s strengthens its position as a gold exploration company in the Timmins Mining Camp. Gold mineralization was first discovered in Hoyle Township on the Bell Creek Mine property between 1980 and 1982 by a joint venture between Rosario Resources Canada Ltd. (“Rosario”) and Dupont of Canada Exploration Limited (“Dupont”) as shown on the attached plan. The Bell Creek Property was subsequently acquired by Canamax Resources (“Canamax”).  Canamax explored and developed the Bell Creek Mine between 1986 and 1991. Falconbridge Gold Corporation (“Falconbridge”) acquired and operated Bell Creek Mine from 1991 to 1992, followed by Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) until mine closed in 1994. In 2007, Lake Shore Gold Corp. (“Lake Shore”) entered into an agreement with Porcupine Joint Venture (“PJV”) to acquire the Bell Creek Mine and Mill Complex.  Tahoe Canada is its current owner having acquired Lake Shore. The current measured and indicated resource of the Bell Creek mine is: Measured and indicated 4,685,999 tonnes at 4.72 g/t Au and inferred 6,080,000 tonnes at 4.62 g/t. Au.1

The Owl Creek Mine was discovered by Inco Limited (“Inco”) in 1973 approximately 3.2 km from the Kidd Creek Concentrator and Smelter Complex. Drilling and geological surveying which were undertaken, resulted in a number of gold assays that averaged 0.22 ounces of gold (Au) per ton. The Owl Creek Mine was placed on hold for the next few years before an optioning agreement was made in 1980 between Texas Gulf Canada Limited (“Texas Gulf”) and Inco to explore the gold property. A joint venture was established to conduct underground exploration and bulk sampling on a 60%-40% basis. Diamond drilling that was completed along a strike of 400 feet indicated an average grade of 0.22 ounces of gold (Au) per ton in 5 holes over an average width of 10 feet. Gold assays that were pick up from drilling also ranged from 0.15 ounces of gold over 15 feet to 0.27 ounces of gold over 9 feet. An Open Pit was established and Texas Gulf reported that about 200,000 tonnes of ore were mined which an average of 5 g/t gold, or 0.145 ounces of gold (Au) per ton. The Owl Creek mine was later acquired by Falconbridge in 1986 when it acquired Texas Gulf.  Of note, hole # H13-34 returned an average assay of 0.18 ounces of gold per ton over 173.9 feet. In addition to this, it also included a 78.7 ft interval averaging 0.32 ounces of gold per ton (Au). Other reports stated that the Owl Creek West Project is commonly known to be opened along strike, and both up dip, and down dip. The Owl Creek mine was subsequently acquired by Goldcorp.

The Hoyle Pond Mine located to the east of the Owl Creek mine was discovered in 1969 and produces free milling gold with a grade of up to 17.8 g/t by gravity and flotation. The gold ore is found in 2 to 3 quartz carbonate veins steeply dipping to the north east. In a press release dated July 26, 2017, Goldcorp stated that “at Hoyle Pond, 4,666m of core drilling was completed to further test the down plunge mineralization of the S veins. Drilling results showed some grade variability, but an overall extensive high grade ore plunge. Extending the ore plunge across the diabase dyke to the east was a goal of the exploration team for the second quarter. The two deepest intersections on the S1 vein at 1,860 m  level returned intercepts of 72.2 g/t over 1.5m and 40.3 g/t over 1.7m (true width).  Both intercepts revealed brecciated, multigenerational quartz veins with visible gold concentrated along the footwall contact.  More typical intercepts would range closer to 20.9 g/t over 1.2m, with varying widths of up to 4m (true width)”.
