BWR Exploration Inc. Receives Assays confirming Nickel and Copper Mineralization in 4 drill holes at its Wholly-Owned Vendôme Sud Project, Abitibi Region of Quebec
20 Septembre 2021 - 5:00PM
BWR Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: BWR) (“BWR” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce receipt of assays regarding four
exploratory drill holes completed earlier this summer (see press
release dated August 11, 2021) on its wholly-owned Vendôme Sud
Property, located in the Abitibi Region of Northern Quebec,
approximately 30 km. north of Val d’Or. The recent drill program by
BWR was designed to investigate and confirm historical nickel and
copper mineralization at various locations on the property. The
program confirmed nickel and copper mineralization of sufficient
grade that warrants further exploration. The best assay interval of
6.75m averaging 0.59% copper and 0.56% nickel at a vertical depth
of about 50 metres was encountered in the first hole. BWR is
currently planning a follow-up exploration program, that may
include additional ground and down-hole geophysical surveys, as
well as petrographic examination of selected drill core to
investigate the mineralizing event.
Assay highlights of the four-hole drill program
are presented in the following table:

BWR successfully validated the two holes that
were drilled in 1962 by Canadian Shield Corporation Inc., where the
earlier results are comparable to the recent drill results of holes
BWR-V-21-01 and BWR-V-21-02 by BWR. Nearby, (approximately 100
metres north) a fairly deep (150m + +) magnetic anomaly that had
been interpreted as a mafic or ultramafic intrusive has also been
confirmed and is anomalous in nickel, this intrusive may be the
heat source for the observed alteration in the region. BWR’s third
hole explored this geophysical anomaly to about 200 meters vertical
depth. Hole BWR-V-21-03 encountered 6 meters of anomalous nickel
values (0.14% over 6 meters). The historical “C Zone” is located
approximately 1 km to the west of the “A Zone” where drilling in
1963, by Canadian Shield, identified similar mineralization for the
“C Zone” as at the “A Zone”. BWR completed hole BWR-V-21-04 at the
approximate location of the earlier hole, confirming the tenor of
mineralization encountered in 1963 by Canadian Shield.
Assay results and discussion for Holes
BWR-V-21-01 and BWR-V-21-02
These two holes were drilled in the “A-zone”
attempting to replicate and/or confirm historic results from DDH
5-62-5 and 62-13 drilled by Canadian Shield in 1962. BWR’s first
two holes intersected what appears to be a steeply dipping volcanic
assemblage of rhyolite intercalated with intermediate to mafic
metavolcanics. The mafic components appear moderately chloritized
with pervasive quartz-carbonate veining. Relatively wide zones of
moderate mineralization were encountered in holes BWR-V-21-01 and
BWR-V-21-02 of 37.8m in hole 01 and 11.1m plus 22.1m in hole 02.
These measurements are down hole core measurements, not true
widths.
Hole BWR-V-21-01 was drilled at a dip of -50
degrees, bearing 205 degrees (SW) being a similar attitude to
historical hole DDH 5-62-5 reportedly drilled 50 years earlier. The
first hole by BWR intersected a pervasive mineralized package with
intriguing assays of 0.34% Cu and 0.27% Ni over a drill length of
37.8 metres consisting of variably altered and mineralized
ultramafic volcanics (66.75m to 73.5m that assayed 0.59% Cu and
0.56% Ni), weakly mineralized and altered rhyolite (79.8m to
88.9m), variably mineralized and altered mafic volcanics (88.9m to
103.3m), the hole ended in relatively poorly mineralized rhyolite
at 201 metres.
Hole BWR-V-21-02 was drilled at a dip of -60
degrees, bearing 205 degrees (SW) undercutting the previous hole
(BWR-V-21-01). In this hole the drill intersected an interpreted
down dip extension of the mineralized package encountered in the
first hole. It is described as containing pervasive mineralization
between 79.9m to 91m representing 11.1 metres in drill core length
that assayed 0.42% Cu and 0.27% Ni and 116m – 121.6m representing
5.6m in drill core length that assayed 0.29% Cu and 0.19% Ni. The
mineralized zone consists of variably disseminated to semi-massive
mineralized ultramafics (85.5m to 91m that assayed 0.55% Cu and
0.4% Ni), as well as a variably mineralized rhyolite from 91m to
117.3m, followed by weak to variably mineralized ultramafics from
117.3m to 122.7m. The second hole ended in poorly mineralized
rhyolite at 252 metres.
Assay results and discussion for Hole
BWR-V-21-03
This exploratory hole was drilled at a dip of
-65 degrees, bearing 220 degrees (WSW), designed to intercept a
geophysically-rendered aeromagnetic high coincident with an excess
mass (gravity) anomaly, akin to an ultramafic intrusive,
interpreted as being related to the mineralized mafic-ultramafic
lenses observed in holes BW-V-21-01 and 02, located approximately
100 meters south. This hole intersected a sequence of mafic
(gabbro/peridotite) to ultramafic (komatiite) volcanics,
intercalated with granodiorite and other felsic intrusives / tuffs
and schists (diorite, granodiorite, rhyolite), ending in a rhyolite
tuff at a final drill hole length of 261 meters. Sulphide
mineralization was observed to be brecciated and mostly within
quartz-carbonate and carbonate stringers and veinlets, suggestive
of remobilization into the volcanic sequence. A short 6m section of
core between 102m and 108m returned anomalous assays of 0.06% Cu
and 0.14% Ni.
Assay results and discussion for Hole
BWR-V-21-04
Approximately one kilometer to the west of the
“A zone” is the “C zone”. Hole BWR-V-21-04 was designed to test
historic “C Zone” mineralization encountered in 1963 drill hole
C-63-1 that included 5.5 feet grading 0.77% Ni + 0.65% Cu. Hole
BW-V-21-04 was drilled at a dip of -45 degrees, bearing 205 degrees
(SW) being the reported attitude of hole C-63-1. BWR’s hole
intersected a series of rhyolite tuffs intercalated and intruded by
intermediate to mafic units, followed by an ultramafic assemblage
of komatiite and peridotite. Mineralization in this hole appeared
very similar to the mineralization observed in the first two holes
located 100 metres east. Hole BWR-V-21-04 intersected 14.7 meters
of mineralization between 90 and 104 metres of core length that
assayed 0.15% Cu and 0.18% Ni, including 2.9 meters (between 101.2m
and 104.1 that assayed 0.46% Cu and 0.48% Ni.
Sampling protocol and
security
Minroc Management Limited’s senior geologist
Francis R. Newton (B.Sc.) as project geologist, was tasked with
managing this drill project, working alongside Sahil Alurkar
(M.Sc.). All samples were selected by Mr. Newton and Mr. Alurkar.
Core was logged and cut in a secure site, owned and operated by
Services MNG, in Val d’Or, Québec. Minroc Management Limited rented
a core shack from Services MNG where Minroc geologists logged the
core. Samples were cut with a diamond saw by Services MNG staff,
under the supervision of Francis R. Newton, P. Geo, and half of the
core for each sample interval placed in labelled plastic bags along
with a sample tag for each individual sample. Samples were
delivered to ALS Minerals in Val d’Or at the end of the program.
Once at the lab, the samples were tested using “ME-ICP41a –
Intermediate Level Aqua Regia” for multi-element analysis.
Mr. Francis Newton, P.Geo (OGQ#2129), in
collaboration with Mr. Neil Novak P. Geo. are responsible for and
