Quebec Precious Metals announces first phase of 2019 exploration program
30 Julio 2019 - 6:00AM
Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (TSX.V: CJC, FSE: YXEP,
OTC-BB: CJCFF) (“QPM” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce exploration plans for the first phase of the 2019 program
in Quebec’s Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. The program will
primarily focus on advancing its flagship Sakami project and the La
Pointe deposit, a significant gold system where a total of 100
diamond drill holes have intercepted the deposit. The first phase
of the program at Sakami can be summarized as follows:
- Apple area - soil geochemistry, prospecting, rock sampling,
trenching and channel sampling;
- Apple-La Pointe-Simon-JR trend - Heli-borne magnetic and
radiometric survey (1,400 line- km);
- La Pointe area - prospecting and geological mapping;
- Simon-JR area - IP survey (15 line-km), prospecting, stripping
and rock sampling; and
- Île area including Bouleaux d’or - prospecting and rock
sampling.
In addition, soil geochemistry, prospecting/rock
sampling and reconnaissance geological mapping will be carried out
on the Annabelle, Blanche and Charles, Cheechoo-Éléonore Trend, and
Opinaca Gold West projects to better assess the exploration
potential with the objective of inviting other parties to form
partnerships or acquire these projects.
“This is a very significant and exciting field
season in QPM’s one-year history,” commented Normand Champigny,
Chief Executive Officer. “Following a successful fall 2018 - winter
2019 campaign, our team continues to extend the size of the
mineralized system at La Pointe and confirm the district size
potential of the Sakami project. We expect this year’s program to
be at least similar in size to last year’s, but with the vast
majority of the meterage to be drilled at La Pointe. We recognize
the technical input from Newmont Goldcorp, our largest shareholder
(13.5%). We will continue to work with them and take advantage of
their deep expertise.”
In preparation for future drilling, exploration
activities are planned to help develop targets for an anticipated
drill program beginning during the early part of the fall. Details
of the second phase of the program will be finalized following a
review of the results of the first phase.
