[{"type":"text","content":"ROUYN-NORANDA, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 2, 2017) - Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CBG) (STUT:CLL) (OTC PINK:CMAUF) is pleased to provide shareholders with a short summary of results from detailed structural mapping and channel sampling undertaken on Chibougamau Independent's 100% owned Berrigan property located 4 km northwest of the Town of Chibougamau, Quebec. Extensive drilling over many years cut numerous intersections of gold, zinc, silver and lead. Due to the complex structural controls of the mineralization, it has been difficult to connect the intersections into individual mineralized bodies. It was decided to undertake detailed structural mapping in the area of the Berrigan adit to try to get a handle on the various directional controls of mineralization. Mapping and channel sampling of select mineralized exposures were undertaken first in 2016 (the 71300 sample series) and then in 2017 (the 25000 sample series) perpendicular to the mineralization. The detailed mapping of the 150 m x 100 m area shows that the bedrock consists principally of Cummings Sill Complex peridotite. Mineralization consists of pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, lesser pyrite and occasionally minor chalcopyrite in deformed sills which create a series of large peridotite blocks (up to 22 m wide) with minimal displacement. The three principal directions of mineralization were mapped as: 1) north-south (N-S) to north-northeast (NNE) - south-southwest (SSW), 2) east-northeast (ENE) - west-southwest (WSW) and 3) north-northwest (NNW)-south-southeast (SSE). In addition, a mineralized area where the NNW-SSE and NNE-SSW structures intersect was noted, mapped and channel sampled. The following is a listing of some of the more significant assay values listed by structural control direction. Only exposed mineralized areas were samples. No trenching to define the total mineralized widths was done.
