[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2019 / DeepRock Minerals Inc. (the \"Company\"), trading symbol \"DEEP\" on the CSE, is please to advise that the Company has commissioned Chibougamau Drilling to mobile the necessary equipment and has commenced diamond drilling on the Ralleau VMS/Lode Gold Project in Quebec, Canada. The Ralleau VMS/Lode Gold Project is strategically located in the west-central part of the Province of Quebec, Canada. It is readily accessible via Lebel-sur-Quévillon located approximately 620 km N-NW of Montreal and 160 km NE from the mining center of Val d'Or along the provincial highway system. From the regional centre of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, the Ralleau VMS Project is situated just 67 km ENE along a network of well-kept forestry roads. The Ralleau VMS Project currently consists of 59 key claim cells totalling 3,323.85 Ha (33.24 km2), covering an assemblage of contiguous Quebec mineral claims ideally situated in Ralleau and Wilson townships on the National Topographic Sheets (NTS) 32F01 (Lac de la Ligne). The Ralleau VMS Project is located within the very active Urban-Barry Belt, in the central-east portion of the North Volcanic Zone (\"NVZ\") of the Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt (\"AAGB\"). The highly mineralized Urban-Barry Belt (\"UBB\") extends over 135 km in length and ranges from 4-20 km across. The UBB is bordered in the north by the Mountain and Father plutons, and in the south by the Wilson and Souart plutons that range from granodioritic to tonalitic in composition. DeepRock's Ralleau VMS Project is located within the Urban Formation (\"UF\") in the western part of the Urban-Barry Belt. The Urban Formation comprises mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks; and felsic volcanics of dacitic to rhyolitic composition attributed to the noted Novellet Member. These lithological units mainly strike WNW-ESE, changing to E-W in the western portion of the project and to NE-SW in the eastern portion of the project. These changes in orientation may be related to the Urban and Cameron Deformational Zones (\"UDZ and CDZ\"). The Ralleau Syncline is oriented E-W. Geologically, it has been interpreted to coincide with the Urban Deformational Zone forming a two km wide corridor through the central part of the greenstone belt. The area experienced amphibolite-facies metamorphism; however, the central part of the Urban F...
