Düsseldorf Stock Exchanges and GLBXF – OTCQX
International in the US) reports that today Emperor Metals
Inc. (“Emperor”) (CSE: AUOZ, OTCQB: EMAUF, FSE: 9NH), announced
additional assay results and achievements from the 8,579 meter,
2023 drilling campaign at the Duquesne West Gold Project under
option from Duparquet Assets Ltd., a 50% owned subsidiary of Globex
Mining Enterprises Inc.
Emperor has reported the following in
today’s press release:
“Emperor has been targeting a
multi-million-ounce resource in a combination conceptual open pit
and underground mining scenarios. This campaign, guided by the
innovative application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine
Learning, was strategically designed to achieve two major
objectives:
- Explore anticipated extensions of
high-grade targets suitable for both underground and open-pit
mining.
- Identifying potential infill
opportunities within a conceptual open-pit model. Historically, the
potential for lower-grade, bulk tonnage contributory ounces was
overlooked.
Highlights of Emperor’s 2023 Drilling
Campaign:
- Extensions of High-Grade Targets:
Exploration drilling has successfully identified extensions
of high-grade mineralization favorable to both underground and open
pit mining methods, underscoring the robust potential of the
project.
- 10.8 m of 15.8 g/t Au (DQ23-05)
- 11.7 m of 5.63 g/t Au (DQ23-01)
- 13.2 m of 3.75 g/t Au (DQ23-09)
- Opportunities in Conceptual Open Pit Model:
Drilling and resampling has unveiled promising potential
for the conceptual pit, previously classified as waste, that are
now recognized for their potential to expand and improve the basic
economics. Some notable thickness include:
- 25.0 m of 1.69 g/t Au (DQ23-02)
- 11.75 m of 0.61 g/t Au (DQ23-10)
- 24.4 of 0.5 g/t Au (DQ23-05)
- Expansion of Mineralization Footprint: A continuous
trend of mineralization extending over 1.2 kilometers east of the
conceptual open-pit model has been discovered, significantly
expanding the overall footprint of mineralization at the
project.
- Fully Funded 2024 Drilling Program: Emperor is
fully funded for a 5,000-meter drilling program set to commence in
Q2 of 2024, building on the successes of the 2023 campaign.
Upcoming Drilling Season:
Emperor is fully funded for a 5,000-meter
drilling program to begin in Q2 of 2024. These results will be used
to refine their A.I. models which will aid in targeting in the 2024
drill season. Emperors strategy is focused on evaluation of
increasing potential ounces for a later mineral resource update.
Most of Emperor’s work in 2024 will be concentrated on the open pit
concept; where they see potential to add ounces cost effectively by
expanding the footprint and/or adding incremental ounces to the
conceptual open pit.
Emperor is also sampling near-surface core from
Globex’s historical core library that was not assayed. Up to 70% of
this core has not been assayed. So far, over 3,000 meters have been
sampled. This is a huge benefit to shareholders,
acquiring additional assays without drilling, saving capital while
having no shareholder dilution.
Image 1: A) Figure showing
Phase 1 conceptual open pit model and location of assays in this
press release. B) Figure showing Phase 1 Open Pit contained in the
Ultimate Pit Conceptual Model. These intercepts increase the
footprint of the deposit and add ounces to the deposit.
Summary of Drill Results:
2023 Recent Drilling Results
Full results for DQ23-10 to DQ23-14 and
unsampled historical core have been released from SGS Laboratories
(see Image 1 and Table 1 intercept highlights).
The strategy of diamond drillholes DQ23-10 to 14 and the assaying
of historic unsampled intervals was to determine if the Phase 1 pit
could be extended westward to connect smaller satellite pits and
add incremental ounces in the previously unsampled host rock.
Affirmation of both scenarios bolstered support for growth. Both
the smaller Phase 1 and Ultimate Pit Conceptual
Model contain mineralization in the host rock that
surrounds the high-grade zones.
- DQ23-10 intersects 11.75
meters (m) of 0.61 g/t Au
- DQ23-14 intersected 5.0 m
of 0.83 g/t Au.
Up to 70% of the core is un-assayed in Emperors
conceptual open pit models. These lower grade, additional bulk
tonnage ounces within the open-pit conceptual model are very
significant for reducing strip ratio and improving overall
economics in a combination open-pit and under-ground mining
scenario.
Historic Core SamplingHistoric
drill core sampling was confined to the potential Phase 1, Open Pit
areas where intervals within previous obtained drill-core were not
sampled (see Image 1 and Table
1). This was the best strategic option for evaluation in
the inaugural drill program.
Drillholes DQ10-11 and DQ11-22 revealed the
potential to add incremental ounces to the main portion of the
Phase 1, pit shell with intersections of 8.0 m of 1.9 g/t
Au and 6.0 m of 0.76 g/t Au this is
expected to extend the footprint of mineralization and add
additional lower grade incremental ounces to the high-grade zones
in the Phase 1, Open Pit. Outside the main area of the Phase 1,
Open Pit, mineralization extends 1.7 km eastward to what previous
workers called the Nip Zone. The combination of several factors
gives significant exploration potential for expanding the pit:
- Drillholes 2DQ06-17 and DQ06-18
which are 1.7 km from the main Phase 1, Open Pit area contain
unsampled mineralization (see table 1) where higher grade gold
exists in historical core. In addition to these incremental ounces,
both these drill-holes have near surface, higher grade intercepts.
2DQ06-17 had an interval of 4.6 m of 2.56 g/t Au
and 2DQ06-18 had an interval of 2.5 m of 51.9 g/t
Au.
- There is very limited drilling
between the main Phase 1 Open Pit and the eastern portion of
property (Nip Zone), which creates significant opportunity.
- Multiple high-grade near surface
hits with reasonable thickness in historic drillholes along this
trend; such as 2DQ10-17 of 16.0 m of 3.2 g/t
Au.
The open pit concept in Image
1B shows an ultimate pit with a depth extent of 400
meters; the footprint is 1.8 km by 0.8 km. Sampling unsampled
historic core in 2024 will strategically focus on the area of the
conceptual open pit design. This will allow us to determine the
potential economics as we progress through the phases having the
necessary assay results for resource evaluation and eventually for
economic evaluations.
In General, mineralization is within and
proximal to a fertile, gold endowed, quartz-feldspar porphyry
intrusion (QFP), which appears to enrich the greenstone belt along
this structural corridor that hosts the Duquesne West Gold
Deposit. Apophyses of this intrusion are more endowed and are
close to the most highly replacement type mineralization.
Competency contrasts between rock types within this mineralized
corridor are good sites for additional mineralization.
High and low-grade mineralization are important
in Open Pit Mining:
- Highest grade intercepts are within
mafic (+/- ultramafic) breccia zone carapaces mantling the
QFPs or highly deformed replacement style structural
zones (in the mafic volcanics) that are highly strained and
completely replaced by ankerite, sericite, and quartz.
- The broadest low-grade zones are
located within the QFPs.
- Some lower-grade broad zones mantle
higher-grade intercepts in the mafic volcanics. This usually
occurs at the margin between mafic volcanics and QFP (low grade in
both units surrounding a high-grade intercept.)
This mineralizing system is significantly large
in length, width and depth. These broad zones will aid in lowering
strip ratios when Emperor has enough data to support a new resource
estimate for both open pit and underground conceptual mining
scenarios.
Samples were sent to SGS Laboratories in
Lakefield, ON.
About the Duquesne West Gold
Project
The Duquesne West Gold Property is located 32 km
northwest of the city of Rouyn-Noranda and 10 km east of the town
of Duparquet. The property lies within the historic Duparquet gold
mining camp in the southern portion of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt
in the Superior Province.
Under an Option Agreement, Emperor agreed to
acquire a one hundred percent (100%) interest in a mineral claim
package comprising 38 claims covering approximately 1,389 ha,
located in the Duparquet Township of Quebec (the “Duquesne West
Property”) from Duparquet Assets Ltd., a 50% owned subsidiary of
Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. For further information on the
Duquesne option please see Globex’s press release dated October 12,
2022.
The Property hosts a historical inferred mineral
resource estimate of 727,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 5.42 g/t
Au.1,2 The mineral resource estimate predates modern CIM guidelines
and a Qualified Person on behalf of Emperor has not reviewed or
verified the mineral resource estimate, therefore it is considered
historical in nature and is reported solely to provide an
indication of the magnitude of mineralization that could be present
on the property. The gold system remains open for resource
identification and expansion.
Reinterpretation of the existing geological
model was created using Artificial Intelligence (A.I) and Machine
Learning. This model shows the opportunity for additional discovery
of ounces by revealing gold trends unknown to previous workers and
the potential to expand the resource along significant gold-endowed
structural zones.Multiple scenarios exist to expand additional
resources which include:
- Underground High-Grade Gold
- Open Pit Bulk Tonnage Gold
- Underground Bulk Tonnage Gold.

Geologists and Engineers, Oct 20, 2011, Technical Report and
Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the Duquesne-Ottoman Property,
Quebec, Canada for XMet Inc.
2 Power-Fardy and Breede, 2011. The Mineral
Resource Estimate (MRE) constructed in 2011 is considered
historical in nature as it was constructed prior to the most recent
Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (CIM) standards (2014)
and guidelines (2019) for mineral resources. In addition, the
economic factors used to demonstrate reasonable prospects of
eventual economic extraction for the MRE have changed since 2011. A
qualified person has not done sufficient work to consider the MRE
as a current MRE. Emperor is not treating the historical MRE as a
current mineral resource. The reader is cautioned not to treat it,
or any part of it, as a current mineral resource.
