[{"type":"text","content":"BMEX Gold Announces Fall Exploration Program Targeting Precious Metal Rich VMS At Dunlop Bay, QuebecVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2023) - BMEX Gold Inc. (TSXV: BMEX) (FSE: 8M0) (\"BMEX\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce its fall exploration program at Dunlop Bay, contingent upon the closing of its $1,000,000 financing announced on August 29, 2023. Following a successful summer exploration program that tested the gold vein system at Dunlop Bay, BMEX intends to drill approximately 4,000 m into its VMS targets at both Dunlop Bay Ouest (DBO) and Dunlop Bay Nord (DBN). At DBO, a strong Cu-Au-Mo correlation is observed in assays from sulfide-rich rocks, which are typical of partially magmatic-derived fluids. The intrusion is already known to be widely mineralized by Au-bearing quartz-carbonate-pyrite vein swarms. As a result of extensive data integration and subsequent interpretation, BMEX's technical team has proposed a revised model for precious metal rich massive sulfides at DBO. The team recognized Dunlop Bay's geology, stratigraphy, and rock geochemistry were similar to three prolific regions in the area. As a reminder, BMEX drill hole BD-22-02 intersected over seven meters of combined massive sulfides and massive magnetite, see Figure 1 and October 25, 2022 news release.Whole rock analysis made on DBO drill holes confirm the presence and continuity of a calco-alkaline felsic unit along DBO mineralized horizon. Geochemical signatures of this rocks shows analogous pattern to other known felsic rocks hosting gold-rich VMS like LaRonde (Bousquet mining camp, Mercier-Langevin, 2007). The multielement diagram and mapping of DBO felsic unit are presented in Figure 2. In addition, the B26-Brouillan deposit, owned by Soquem Inc., located 100 km directly west of DBO and 8 km from the former Selbaie Mine, shows rhyolites with similar geochemistry (Fayard, 2020) to the felsic rocks from DBO. The indicated resource at B26 Brouillan totals 6.97 Mt at 1.32% Cu, 1.80% Zn, 0.60 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag. The inferred resource totals 4.41 Mt at 2.03% Cu, 0.22% Zn, 1.07 g/t Au and 9 g/t Ag (SOQUEM, press release, March 4, 2018). The Daniel-25 (GM 70611) zone identified by Glencore lies 30 km west of Dunlop Bay and also bears a similar geochemical signature host rock to DBO. The area has been known to be the host ...
