Drilling will test multiple gold bearing bedrock structures discovered by the Company's recent trenching. BGF geologists interpret these structures as NE-SW splays off the main fault line structure which was identified using AMT surveys in 2018 carried out along the Chemin du Rang St-Gustave (the \"AMT Fault\"). Notably, the AMT Fault is sub-parallel to the placer channel and the splays appear to cross a N-S section the Placer Channel. (see company news releases of May 12, 2021).Historical Placer Gold Channel TargetsThe Beauce Gold property contains a six kilometre long historical placer channel consisting of unconsolidated gold-bearing auriferous units of a lower saprolite and an upper brown diamictite. Western sections of the channel has been the subject of historic placer gold production from 1860 to 1912 via underground drifts and in the East by a major gold dredging operation in the 1960s. Analysis of all historical overburden drill logs drilled into the placer gold channel (see company news releases of January 21, 2021) indicates sections of possible bedrock mineralisation. Diamond drilling will test targets along a two kilometre stretch of channel that aligns with the 1959 Churn Drill holes li...
