[{"type":"text","content":"Val-d'Or Mining Corporation - 2020 Field Season Exploration UpdateVal-d'Or, Québec--(Newsfile Corp. - November 19, 2020) - Val-d'Or Mining Corporation (TSXV: VZZ) (\"Val-d'Or Mining\" or the \"Company\") provides an update about the progress on several of its 2020 field exploration programs.Magoma ProspectVal-d'Or Mining announces the completion of its 2020 prospecting and sampling program at the Magoma Prospect (see Figure 1: Prospect Location Map). The primary metallogenic target is an orogenic gold deposit spatially related to a deformation (shear) zone, hosted in altered and mineralized metavolcanic rocks. Details about historic exploration programs and a summary of the Company's own exploration efforts leading up to this program have been reported in the Val-d'Or Mining news release dated September 10, 2020.Figure 1: Prospect LocationTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/7049/68539_6f3e04771451e9bf_002full.jpgThe objective of the 2020 prospecting and sampling program was to identify the strike extensions of the historical gold mineralization and to explore for potential parallel mineralized zones.The prospecting program was successful in tracing the shear zone corridor for over 900 metres from the historic gold showing along strike to the NW. This wide NW-SE trending corridor is characterized by strongly banded schist and quartz veins, which can be identified from the sample locations shown on Figure 2 (Sample Location Map).Figure 2: Grab Sample LocationTo view an enhanced version of Figure 2, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/7049/68539_6f3e04771451e9bf_003full.jpgA follow-up program of selective overburden stripping, bedrock cleaning and detailed geological / structural mapping is planned for the next stage of exploration at the Magoma Prospect.Rivière Lois Cu-Zn-Ag ProspectVal-d'Or Mining is currently planning a Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey on its Rivière Lois Cu-Zn-Ag Prospect (see Figure 1: Prospect Location Map). The program is intended to follow-up on anomalous copper and zinc values intersected by drilling during a program completed by Golden Valley Mines in 2004. The drill hole tested a 3-4 channel MEGATEM II anomaly with an offsetting moderate induced polarization (IP) anomaly.Glenn J. Mullan P.Geo. is the Qualified ...
