(\"Azimut\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: AZM) is pleased to announce the start of an exploration program on its wholly-owned Elmer and Duxbury properties following the Company's comprehensive assessment phase. The properties provide continuous coverage over a 35-kilometre segment of an underexplored greenstone belt that is considered highly prospective for intrusion-related and shear-related gold deposits. Encouraging preliminary prospecting results, including 77.8 g/t Au, 60.4 g/t Au, 54.6 g/t Au and 8.56 g/t Au in grab samples, have already been reported (see press release of November 20, 2018). \nAccess to the Elmer and Duxbury properties is afforded by the quality infrastructure of the James Bay region of Quebec, one of the most active regions for gold exploration in Canada. Azimut is one of the leading exploration companies operating in Quebec.\nHIGHLIGHTS (see Figures 1 to 4)\nRecently completed compilation and reprocessing of the historical database confirms the potential of the highly prospective Archean greenstone belt, only sporadically explored thus far. On the Elmer Property, 13 gold (silver, copper, zinc) prospects, mostly high-grade, are located within an ENE-WSW corridor 12 km long by up to 3 km wide. Reconnaissance prospecting on the Duxbury Property confirms the strike continuity of this trend. The geology is dominated by felsic volcanics, andesite, diorite, basalt, gabbro, and porphyry dykes. Alteration is characterized by sericitization in the felsic volcanics and porphyry dykes, and chloritization and carbonatization in the mafic lithologies (gabbros, diorite, basalts). At the scale of the Elmer Property, there is a strong association between gold a...
