The drilling targets were chosen based on the results of these surveys plus geological mapping and rock sampling by MERNQ and historical drilling results undertaken by mining companies.\nThe Iserhoff property is located 55 km NNE of Lebel-sur-Quévillon in the Northern Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The gold property comprises 51 mining claims totaling 28.5 km², 100% owned by Genius Metals. It can be accessed by a network of forestry roads some of which join provincial highway 113 connecting Lebel-sur-Quévillion and Chibougamau. The impetus for drilling is in part based on O'Brien Gold Mines drilling campaign results on a network of quartz veins injected in intermediate and felsic volcanics 3.5 km along  strike and yielding anomalous gold values at shallow depth (ex: 1.40 g/t @ 8.3 m, 1.24 g/t @ 14.5 m and 1.24 g/t @ 5.9 m) with locally, some associated silver, lead and zinc content.\nThe Sakami property, located in the James Bay Territory of the Province of Quebec, straddles the structural contact between the Opinaca and La Grande Archean subprovinces. The gold property consists of 148 claims totaling 76.2 km2 and 100% owned by Genius Metals. A series of large faults orientated NE-SW extends 14 km southwest to the Quebec Precious Metals property where significant gold values were unearthed by drilling.  The Sakami property displays diverse lithologies showing signs of alteration and/or gold mineralization ...
