(\"Azimut\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: AZM) is pleased to report it has discovered gold mineralization on the extensive 36-kilometre-long Galinée Property (658 claims, 339 km2), which is jointly owned with SOQUEM Inc. (\"SOQUEM\") under a Strategic Alliance covering the James Bay region of Quebec (see Figure). Detailed follow-up field work will be conducted in 2019.\nHIGHLIGHTS\nDiscovery by prospecting of a subcropping gold-bearing zone with 26 grab samples delivering values above 0.1 g/t Au, including 6 samples returning values from 0.53 g/t Au to 0.84 g/t Au and one sample returning 2.17 g/t Au (see Photos 1 to 4). Mineralized facies are hosted in a tonalite intrusion containing disseminated to semi-massive arsenopyrite with quartz veins and veinlets, accompanied by some pyrite and pyrrhotite and by chlorite alteration. The 130-metre by 30-metre zone, located in the eastern part of the Property, trends NE-SW and is open along strike in both directions. About 5 kilometres to the west, till sampling identified a gold grain dispersion train, including one sample returning 52 delicate gold grains, interpreted as deriving from a proximal source. About 25 kilometres to the west, another 4-kilometre-long target area returned anomalous gold counts in till samples. Some samples included coarse gold, and overall, the results confirm the unusual cluster of previously reported high gold values – up to 1.89 g/t Au – in lake sediments (see press release of May 31, 2018). There were no known showings on the Property before the current exploration initiative.The exploration targets on the Galinée project were identified in 2016 by Azimut's predictive mineral pote...
