Diamond Drilling

A campaign of three (3) drill holes for 1,650 m will begin in July with a drill in the Belleaux area where mineralized felsic intrusions were discovered in the eastern part of the Patris property. These weak to moderate intermediate to felsic intrusions are weakly to moderately altered in sericite-carbonate-hematite are commonly present less than 830 m from the La Pause Fault in the Kewagama sedimentary rocks. This seems to indicate that the La Pause Fault has primary control on the magmatic activity of the region. These intrusions are also mineralized with up to 10% pyrite and contain several quartz veins and veinlets. see & read more on
