Core drilling will follow up on the results.\n \n \n The Property is located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of\n \n Quebec\n \n and is under option to\n \n Mont Royal Resources Limited\n \n (\"Mont Royal\") (\n \n ASX: MRZ\n \n ). The 2022 partner-funded exploration budget amounts to\n \n $800,000\n \n and Azimut is the operator.\n \n \n \n HIGHLIGHTS\n \n (\n \n see Figures 1 to 3\n \n )\n \n \n \n A very responsive electromagnetic technology (SQUID sensor) has been selected to detect conductors from surface down to a depth of at least 400 metres. The planned 15-kilometre survey consists of 1-kilometre-long lines spaced 100 metres apart within a large fixed loop.\n \n TMC Geophysics\n \n from\n \n Val d'Or\n \n , Québec, is carrying out the survey.\n \n \n Recently reported results from the initial prospecting program on the Property are very encouraging (\n \n see press release of\n \n December 7, 2021\n \n )\n \n , revealing a previously unrecognized ultramafic intrusion 1.0 kilometre by 400 metres carrying nickel and copper sulphide mineralization\n \n .\n \n Best results are 1.03% Cu, 0.384% Ni, 316 ppm Co and 5.42 g/t Ag in a pyroxenite (grab sample from outcrop)\n \n . N\n \n \n ote that grab samples are selective by nature and unlikely to represent average grades\n \n .\n \n \n The highly favourable geological context comprises the ultramafic intrusive lithologies and ...
