[{"type":"text","content":"Val-d'Or Mining Commences Prospecting and Geochemical Survey Program on Two (2) of Its Quebec Abitibi Greenstone Belt PropertiesVal-d'Or, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2022) - Val-d'Or Mining Corporation (TSXV: VZZ) (\"Val-d'Or Mining\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that its 2022 exploration fieldwork season is now underway. The initial ground focus will be on two (2) of the Company's 100%-owned, Québec-based Abitibi Greenstone Belt precious metals (gold-silver) and critical / strategic (copper-zinc) minerals prospects.The objectives of the field-based programs are to follow-up on previous defined induced polarization (\"IP\") anomalies, and/or drilling results, with the objective of delineating new coincidental geochemical targets for follow-up ground fieldwork, including drilling, if warranted. The Company allocated a total budget of $84,000 for this program. The two (2) properties are:Pascalis Cu-Zn - Val-d'Or Mining Camp - Copper, Zinc, SilverPascalis Ouest - Val-d'Or Mining Camp - Gold; Copper, Zinc, SilverThe recently completed soil sampling program consisted of series of detailed ground geochemical sampling (soil-B-Horizon) survey lines, selected based on sample media constraints according to the local surficial geology.On the Pascalis Cu-Zn Prospect, a total of 244 samples were collected over 15 individual sample lines. Previous diamond drilling on the property by Golden Valley Mines and Royalties Ltd. intersected anomalous copper (3020 ppm Cu) and zinc (2010 ppm Zn) over a downhole core intersection of 1.55 metres, hosted in a sericitized zone containing up to 2% disseminated pyrrhotite along the margins of a quartz-biotite dike.On the Pascalis Ouest Prospect, a total of 87 samples were collected over 7 individual sample lines. The Company will report in more detail about each of these properties once the results have been received and compiled during the course of the summer fieldwork season.Geological Overview: The Pascalis Cu-Zn and Pascalis Ouest prospects are located in northwestern Québec, approximately 34 kilometres east-north-east of Val-d'Or, Québec (NTS map sheet 32C/03). The properties are inferred to be underlain by intermediate to felsic volcanics from the Val-d'Or Formation, the upper formation of the Louvicourt Group of the Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
