Corporation Ressources Pershimex ("Pershimex" or the "Society")
(TSX CROISSANCE : PRO) is pleased to announce the results of the
Mineral Resource Estimation ("MRE") undertaken in early 2021 by the
firm 3DGeo Solution inc. (“3DGS”) under the supervision of Mr.
Kenneth Williamson, P.Geo, M.Sc., Senior Consultant Geologist and
President. The portion of the pit optimization work was entrusted
to the engineering firm BBA Inc., under the supervision of Mr. Jeff
Cassoff, P. Eng., Senior Mining Engineer and Team Leader.
This ERM is based on the integration of all the
assay results from the holes drilled in 2020 and from the holes
drilled in spring of 2021, as well as from the channel sampling
work completed on August 10, 2021. The ERM includes all the assay
results received as of September 7, 2021. Thus, 2,169 meters of
drilling and 2,788 samples will have been necessary to define a
near surface gold resource, representing a total investment of less
than $ 1 million.
The initial objective set by the management of
the company was to bring the historical mineral inventory contained
in the surface crown pillar of the former Pershing-Manitou mine
into compliance with respect to the actual regulations. By carrying
out this ERM, the Company is now able to define a volume of high
grade gold material not exceeding 5000 tonnes in order to comply
with the standards set by the government with regard to permit
applications for conducting a bulk sampling program. Such bulk
sampling will validate the approach to taken in order to maximize
further development work on the Pershing-Manitou deposit. With the
current market conditions, the Company hopes to generate an
attractive profit by mining this high gold grade material.
Results of the Mineral Resource Estimate of the surface
crown pillar of the Pershing-Manitou Mine
- Definition of an “in-pit”
resource of 9,600 tonnes grading 7.04 g / t Au, representing nearly
2,100 ounces of gold, the vast majority of which is
classified as measured category.
- Underground potential of
nearly 23,300 tonnes at a grade of 4.02 g / t Au, representing just
over 3,000 ounces of gold, mainly of the indicated
category.

This MRE is the result of 28 holes (3,955 meters
of core drilling in total; 2,169 meters used for the construction
of the resource model) and 3 channels (18 meters sampled) in the
resource sector, with the all assay results received as of
September 7, 2021. The drill spacing is approximately 10 to 15
meters for the drilling carried out in the core of the pillar close
to the surface and 20 to 30 meters for the drilling targeting the
intermediate part of the pillar. Below 75 m depth, the drill
spacing is approximately 50 to 65 meters. Channel sampling was
carried out on the central portion of the pillar, where the main
mineralized zone outcrops.
The litho-structural interpretation of the
deposit is based on the integration of drilling and surface mapping
data. Litho-structural and preliminary interpretation of
mineralized zones were performed using Seequent Leapfrog Geo ™
software, and then integrated into Geovia GEMS ™ software. The
deposit is interpreted as a classical system of extension veins and
shear veins developed within a deformation corridor. The best gold
grades appear to be associated with extension veins, which appear
as a series of sigmoidal veins distributed in echelon in
mineralized envelopes that are slightly oblique to the shear veins.
The presence of a late fault appears to be a limiting factor
towards the east; the latter was used as a constraint in the
construction of mineralized volumes. The mineral resource estimate
encompasses 12 tabular domains, trending northeast in the north and
central portions of the deposit, while trending east-west in the
south. These volumes were built in Geovia GEMS ™ software using a
set of contour lines on sections spaced 5 meters apart and tie
lines. A real thickness of at least 2.00 meters is imposed on these
volumes.
The MRE considers a total of 12 mineralized
zones defined by individual wireframe models with a true thickness
of at least 2.00 meters. The MRE includes blocks located inside a
pit shell, and is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g / t Au. The
pit shell used is that constrained by a gold price of US $ 500.00 /
oz; the purpose of this choice is to limit the size of the pit,
therefore forcing the pit optimization to focus on the higher grade
material near the surface. This will allow isolating and maximizing
the volume of rocks chosen for the bulk sampling permit
application. The MRE also includes mineralized blocks located
outside the pit shell, but within volumes potentially exploitable
by underground method, and is reported at a cut-off grade of 2.00 g
/ t Au.

President statement
Robert Gagnon, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, declares: “This work of
estimating mineral resources made it possible to define, in a short
time, a sufficient quantity of mineralized material potentially
exploitable by surface mining. Some of this material is located on
the surface and has the highest gold grades. This will allow the
company to apply for an authorization from the Quebec Ministry of
Natural Resources to extract a bulk sample of less than 5,000
tonnes. The production of this bulk would make it possible to
extract a certain quantity of gold, which at the current market
price, would provide the Company with attractive working capital.
In the current context of a share price deemed too low, management
has decided to capitalize on the measured resource and take
advantage of it, thus preventing the company and its shareholders
from being further diluted at a low price via traditional financing
offered to junior exploration companies. "
The full technical report, prepared in accordance with the
provisions of NI 43-101, will be available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com)

NOTES RELATED TO THE OF PERSHING-MANITOU MINERAL
RESOURCES ESTIMATE:
1. The Independent Qualified Person for the purposes of
this SMR, as defined in NI 43-101, is Kenneth Williamson, P.Geo.
(OGQ # 1490), of Solution 3DGéo inc. The effective date of the
estimate is September 7, 2021.2. The estimate of the
mineral resources of the Pershing-Manitou project complies with the
“CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best
Practice Guidelines” of November 29, 2019.3. These
mineral resources are not mineral reserves since their economic
viability has not been demonstrated. The quantity and grade of
Inferred Mineral Resources presented in this news release are
uncertain in nature and there has not been sufficient exploration
work performed to define these resources as Indicated or Measured
Resources; however, it is reasonable to expect that the majority of
Inferred Mineral Resources can be converted to Indicated Mineral
Resources by continuing exploration.4. The resources are
presented before dilution and in situ and are considered to have
reasonable prospects of economic extraction. Isolated and
discontinuous blocks with a grade greater than the selected cut-off
grade are excluded from the estimate of underground mineral
resources. The blocks that must be included, i.e. isolated blocks
with a grade below the cut-off grade located within potentially
mineable volumes, have been included in the mineral resource
estimate.5. As of September 7, 2021, the database
included a total of 28 holes totaling nearly 3,955 meters of
drilling and 3 channels totaling 18 meters sampled at surface in
the targeted area for the estimation of mineral
resources.6. A value of 0.001 g / t Au was used as a
grade for the un-assayed core, while a clipping grade of 31.1035 g
/ t Au was applied to composites with a higher gold
grade.7. The assays were grouped within the mineralized
domains in composites of 1.00 meters in length.8. The
block model was prepared using Geovia GEMS ™ software. The model is
of the "percentage and multi-layer" type and consists of cubic
blocks of 1 meter side. The model has no rotation.9. An
interpolation according to the “inverse distance squared” (“ID2”)
method was performed to estimate the gold grades in each of the
interpreted mineralized volumes. The parameters for estimating gold
grades are mainly based on the layout and the small amount of
drilling available. Thus, the range of the different search
ellipses is based on the spacing of the holes, while their
orientation corresponds to the average orientation of the different
mineralized zones.10. Une valeur de densité de 2,70 g/cm3 a été
appliquée aux zones minéralisées, 2,00 g/cm3 au mort-terrain et
2,80 g/cm3 à la roche encaissante.11. The so-called "IN
PIT" mineral resources are presented at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g /
t Au and are confined within a pit shell. The cut-off grade
estimate and the creation of the pit shell are based on the
following economic parameters: gold price of US $ 500 / oz,
exchange rate of USD / CAD 1.25, recovery at l 92% machining,
selling cost US $ 5 / oz, mining cost CA $ 28.50 / t machined,
G&A cost CA $ 4 / t machined, transportation cost CA $ 8 / t
.12. The underground mineral resources are presented at a cut-off
grade of 2.00 g / t Au and correspond to the piles of contiguous
blocks with a reasonable size to be exploited by the long-hole
method. The economic parameters used are the same as for "IN PIT"
mineral resources with the exception of the cost related to mining,
set at CA $ 100 / t. It should be noted that the G&A cost could
be underestimated depending on the extraction sequence
chosen.13. Calculations were performed with metric units
(meters, tonnes and g / t). Metals content is presented in troy
ounces (metric ton x grade / 31.10348).14. The
independent qualified person is not aware of any environmental,
licensing, legal, title-related, tax, socio-political or
marketing-related issue, or any other relevant issue that could
have a material impact on the estimate of mineral
resources.15. The numbers of tonnes and ounces are
rounded to the nearest hundred and ten respectively, which may
cause slight differences. |
