In this same sector, the company discovered a major geological fault which could explain, in part, the gold bearing structures.\" Mr. Levasseur added: \"The data provided by the survey and sampling of the trenches will better guide our future rock drilling program to uncover the source of the gold placers.\"Figure 1.

Geological mapping and structural study to the east and west of Rang St-Gustave road will provide a detailed study of the orientation of the folds, shear zones and rock fracturing. This data will be used to optimize the drilling program to come.The 2020 exploration program mechanically excavated 46 trenches and outcrops (mainly trenches). In addition, the exploration team collected:100 rock samples taken by channel cuts using a diamond saw (in the trenches)9 bulk samples of rocks taken from the trenches28 samples (bulk) of rock outcrops from the property4 bulk samples (composite samples) of approximately 100 lbs each (trenches Tr-2020-01, Tr-2020 02, Tr-2020-05 and Tr-2020-51)These samples were sent to the laboratories of INRS (Québec City) and subsequently to the laboratories of Actlabs (Ancaster, On).Analysis of the samples will provide a geochemical study to establish certain associations between gold, silver and metals indicative of mineralization like As, W, Sb, also known as tracer ...
