[{"type":"text","content":"Quebec Quartz Increases the size of its Drucourt and Roncevaux Silica Properties following the Completion of a Preliminary Exploration Program(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nMontreal, Quebec / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / July 16 2014 / Uragold Bay Resources Inc. (\"Uragold\") (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that it's wholly owned subsidiary, Quebec Quartz, has successfully completed its previously announced work program on the Drucourt and Roncevaux silica properties. During the exploration program, additional claims were added to both properties to cover additional quartz occurrences identified in close proximity to the properties.\n\n\n \nThe Drucourt property, located in the Cote Nord region of Quebec, contains part of the quartzite bodies historically named Q1 to Q121. The exploration team selected the Q-12 body for sampling due to its size, the historical work already done on it and its location, 850 metres from road 138. The field crew localized the Q12 quartzite, a body over 125 metres in length and over 45 m in width and successful extracted samples. Visually, the quartzite showed very high purity quartz with some impurities; mostly fine iron oxides due to weathering on the surface and in veinlets. The other quartz occurrences in the original claims and the additional claims were not explored at this time. \n\n\n \n1 Pronovost, Jean-Marie. 2002.

Barrette2 (2003) reported that the Quartz vein is 340 metres long with a width varying between 3 and 12 metres. In the past, parallel trenches over the veins were done resulting in grades of up to 99.40% SiO2. The field crew was easily able to localize and sample the quartz vein that can be accessed by forestry roads close to Road 132. Historical trenches were left unrestored but natural refilling of the trench is in progress and only part of the trenches can be accessed. The quartz occurrences in the additional new claims have not yet been explored.\n\n\n \n2 Barrette, Jean-Paul. 2003. Rapport des travaux d'exploration miniere sur la veine d...
