Quebec Precious Metals reports high grade nickel mineralization at the Sakami gold project
02 Octubre 2019 - 6:43AM
Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (TSX.V: CJC, FSE: YXEP,
OTC-BB: CJCFF) (“QPM” or the “Company”) is pleased to
report the results from the re-analyses of recovered historical and
unanalyzed drill core samples (refer to press release of September
24, 2019). The core samples are from nine (9) holes drilled
in 2008 by a previous operator on the project (Figure 1). A total
of 51 samples from hole AP-08-12 were re- analyzed. High-grade
nickel mineralization has been measured with samples that have
returned up to 1.28% Ni, 0.26% Cu over 2.55 m (Table 1). This
high-grade intercept and other high nickel values are hosted in
mafic volcanic rocks with disseminated pyrite and pyrrothite. These
rocks are within a sequence of quartzofeldspathic gneiss, quartz
arenite, paragneiss and iron formation.

QPM will continue its exercise of relogging the
core to strategically identify an optimized set of samples for
re-assay during the fall. The ongoing surface exploration program
continues to progress well. The objective of the current program is
to identify the best targets for an anticipated drill program later
this year. Details of the drilling program will be finalized
following a review of the results of the 2019 surface program.
Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
Quality assurance and quality control procedures
have been implemented to ensure best practices in sampling and
analysis of the core samples. The drill core was re-logged and then
split, with one-half sent for assay and the other retained in the
core box as a witness sample. Duplicates, standards and blanks were
inserted regularly into the sample stream. The samples were
delivered, in secure tagged bags, directly to the ALS Minerals
laboratory facility in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed
and identified prior to sample preparation. All samples are
analyzed by aqua regia extraction with an inductively coupled
plasma finish coupled with atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
The analytical procedure for gold is fire assay with AA finish on a
30 g sample (0.005-10 ppm Au), with a gravimetric finish for assays
over 10 ppm Au.
