[{"type":"text","content":"ROUYN-NORANDA, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 6, 2017) - Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CBG) (STUT:CLL) (OTC PINK:CMAUF) is pleased to provide shareholders with assay results from our initial detailed mapping and grab sampling on our 100% owned, Nepton Property (Chevrette Showing area) and on our Berrigan Property (the East Zone area). Seventeen grab samples were taken on the previously stripped Chevrette Showing area. The Chevrette Showing consists of stringer to massive pyrite and chalcopyrite often oxidized to a gossan. Malachite is common. A 30 metre section of the heavily mineralized zone shows widths of up to 2 metres. Seven samples were taken in the exposure of heavy chalcopyrite and assayed as follows for gold, silver and copper. NEPTON - CHEVRETTE Showing Sample # Au (ppb) Ag (g/t) Cu (%) E25211 365 7,6 3,32 E25212 517 7,9 8,12 E25213 141 8,9 5,03 E25214 1515 5,4 2,59 E25215 196 4 1,66 E25216 118 5 3,91 E25217 178 14 8,38 On the Berrigan Property, eleven grab samples were taken on the East Zone. Mineralization consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite with occasional galena in exhalative and ultramafic rocks. Assays received to date are as follows: BERRIGAN - EAST ZONE Sample # Au (ppb) Ag (g/t) Cu (ppm) Zn (%) Pb (%) E25001 503 3,8 853 3,13 0,02 E25002 163 3,6 569 4,56 0,01 E25003 360 144,6 357 3,00 0,11 E25004 136 18,1 167 1,92 1,42 E25005 230 9,9 198 0,73 0,18 E25006 254 4,8 150 4,23 0,06 E25007 21 1,7 93 0,13 0,01 E25008 17 1 57 0,12 0,01 E25009 <5 0,5 119 0,02 0,00 E25010 8172 20,1 592 7,10 0,15 E25012 174 1,6 495 0,07 0,01 E25013 31 2 618 0,03 0,00 E25014 566 1,5 351 0,05 0,00 Gold occurs in many samples (up to 8.17 g/t Au) as does silver (up to 144.6 g/t Ag). One assay of 1.42% Pb was also reported. We are still awaiting results from sampling on the Berrigan South Zone and Berrigan Main Zone. It is hoped that once we receive all the assay results and combine them with our detailed geological and structural mapping, we will be able to better correlate numerous mineralized drill intersection on the Berrigan Property and guide future exploration on the Nepton asset. Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to be representative of average grades.
