Quebec Precious Metals recovers historical drill cores at the Sakami gold project, provides exploration update
24 Septembre 2019 - 1:10PM
Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (TSX.V: CJC, FSE:
YXEP, OTC-BB: CJCFF) (“QPM” or the “Company”) is pleased
to report that during the summer surface exploration program on its
Sakami gold project, the exploration team has recovered historical
and unanalyzed drill core samples by a previous operator on the
project. The core samples are from nine (9) holes drilled in 2008
on the Company’s claims in an area denoted as the Apple sector,
located approximately from 1 to 3 km WSW of the La Pointe
gold deposit. This sector is on strike with the volcano-sedimentary
sequence of the Yasinski Group (La Grande geological
Subprovince). The volcano-sedimentary rocks are metamorphosed to
amphibolite facies and strongly deformed by a regional WSW to ENE
event. These rocks are within a sequence of quartz-feldspathic
gneiss, quartz arenite, paragneiss and iron formation.
Following the re-logging of the historical drill
core, 51 samples from hole AP-08-12 are being re- analyzed.
Assays for all precious metals are pending. QPM will continue to
relog the core to strategically identify the best core for
additional assay testing during the fall.
Exploration update
Further to its July 30, 2019 press release, QPM
provides an update on the first phase of the 2019 program as
follows:
Sakami project
- Apple area - soil geochemistry (675 samples) survey and
prospecting (175 grab samples) were completed, trenching and
channel sampling is underway, analytical results are pending;
and
- Apple-La Pointe-Simon-JR trend - Heli-borne magnetic and
radiometric survey (1,400 line- km) completed,
interpretation and integration with previous surveys is underway;
and
- Simon-JR area - IP survey (15.6 line-km).
Cheechoo-Éléonore Trend project
- Soil geochemistry survey (952 samples) and prospecting (122
grab samples) were completed, analytical results are pending.
Annabelle, Blanche and Charles and Opinaca Gold
West projects
- Prospecting/rock sampling and reconnaissance geological mapping
will begin at • La prospection / échantillonnage des roches et la
cartographie géologique de reconnaissance débuteront en septembre
afin de mieux évaluer le potentiel d'exploration avec l'objectif
d'inviter d'autres parties à former des partenariats ou à acquérir
ces projets.the end of September to better assess the exploration
potential with the objective of inviting other parties to form
partnerships or acquire these projects.
The surface program aims to develop targets for
an anticipated drill program beginning during the fall. Details of
the second phase of the program will be finalized following a
review of the results of the first phase.
Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
Quality assurance and quality control procedures
have been implemented to ensure best practices in sampling and
analysis of the core samples. The drill core was re-logged and then
split, with one-half sent for assay and the other retained in the
core box as a witness sample. Duplicates, standards and blanks were
inserted regularly into the sample stream. The samples were
delivered, in secure tagged bags, directly to the ALS Minerals
laboratory facility in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed
and identified prior to sample preparation. All samples are
being analyzed by aqua regia extraction with an inductively coupled
plasma finish coupled with atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
The analytical procedure for gold is fire assay with AA finish on a
30 g sample (0.005-10 ppm Au), with a gravimetric finish for assays
over 10 ppm Au.
