[{"type":"text","content":"Conquest Resources Begins 10,000m Phase 1 Drill Program On Belfast Copper Project and Announces Results of Annual General Meeting Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2021) -  Conquest Resources Limited (TSXV: CQR) (\"Conquest\" or the \"Company\") has collared its first hole in a program that will test over thirty geophysical anomalies over the next several months. Camp construction was completed on schedule and on budget. Final VTEM Max processed data was received in May and modeled for drill targeting. Drill pads have been constructed for the first series of holes and permits received from the MLAS office of the Ontario Government. The VTEM targets vary in size and conductivity with some having coincident magnetic associations. Most targets are covered with a veneer of Huronian sediments and or Nipissing diabase sills (fig 1). Thickness of cover rocks is variable but generally expected to be between 100 and 300m. Deposit types known to exist in this portion of the 100% Conquest controlled land package are magmatic Cu-Ni-PGE, Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide and gold in Banded Iron Formation.

In addition to the EM components, the recent VTEM survey provided high resolution total field magnetic data for the surveyed area. Exemplified by the Eaglerock Lake greenstone window, fig 2, the color contoured magnetic field derivative product coupled with coincident VTEM conductor positions, clearly reveals the locations of possible subcroppings of the greenstone belt conductive and/or magnetic units. Additionally, in the Eaglerock Lake area historic exploration and drilling has resulted in the discovery of a Po, Py and Cpy bearing series of lenses identified as a VMS related exhalate horizon. Historic drilling verifies the presence of anomalous Cu and Zn and alteration consistent with VMS style deposits resulting in an environment permissive for an economic VMS Cu-Zn discovery. The company plans to carry out an aggressive drill program in the assessment of these priority target areas at Eaglerock ...
