Tuesday, September 19, 2023

Recent drilling at Presqu’île is part of an ongoing exploration program focussing on near surface gold potential along strike from Kiena that remains under explored.

Key Points: 
  • Recent drilling at Presqu’île is part of an ongoing exploration program focussing on near surface gold potential along strike from Kiena that remains under explored.
  • Hole PR-23-070: 32.5 g/t over 3.0 m core length (30.0 g/t Au capped*, 2.9 true width) PR-2A Zone.
  • Hole PR-23-084 : 14.0 g/t Au over 5.3 m core length (14.0 g/t Au capped*, 4.0 m true width) PR-2 Zone.
  • Both zones are interpreted as excellent target for a follow up drilling program from surface or from underground with development of an exploration ramp.

Since 2021, surface exploration at Kiena has been ramping up with the initial focus on exploration targets proximal to the Kiena Mine.

Key Points: 
  • Since 2021, surface exploration at Kiena has been ramping up with the initial focus on exploration targets proximal to the Kiena Mine.
  • Most recently, surface drilling 2-3 kilometres southeast of the Kiena mine has identified wide zones of low grade gold mineralization potentially amenable to bulk tonnage underground mining  similar to other operations in the region (see Figure 1).
  • Notably, this style of mineralization and alteration, hosted in diorite, is different from the Kiena Mine further to the west.
  • Highlights of the recent drilling northwest to the Shawkey 10 Zone are listed below and are summarized in Table 1.
