About Yorbeau Resources Inc.
The Rouyn Property, wholly-owned by the Company, contains four
known gold deposits in the 6-km-long Augmitto-Astoria corridor
situated on the western portion of the property. The Company signed
a definitive agreement in December
2018, whereby IAMGOLD has the option to acquire a 100%
interest in the Rouyn property, and a major drilling program is
underway. Two of the four deposits, Astoria and Augmitto, benefit
from substantial underground infrastructure and have been the
subject of technical reports that include resource estimates and
that were filed in accordance with Regulation 43-101. In 2015, the
Company expanded its exploration property portfolio by acquiring
strategic base metal properties in prospective areas of the Abitibi
Belt of Quebec and Ontario that feature an infrastructure
favourable for mining development. The newly acquired base metal
properties include the Scott Project, which bears important mineral
resources (see the press release dated March
30, 2017) and on which a positive Preliminary Economic
Assessment was recently completed.
