[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n‑ 50% of survey already completed\n\n\n\nROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Nov. 19, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Visible Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: VGD) (Frankfurt: 3V4) is pleased to announce it has contracted Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. (\"Prospectair\") of Gatineau, Québec for a detailed helicopter-borne magnetic (MAG) and time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey of its 100% owned 167 EXTENSION project in the region of the Plan Nord in the province of Québec. The survey began on November 13, 2014 and so far approximately 1,977 linear kilometres, representing 50% of the survey, have been covered by Prospectair. The entire survey is expected to be completed before the end of the month of November. \n\nThe MAG-TDEM geophysical survey will consist of a data acquisition program over a total of 3,955 linear kilometres on two different survey blocks at 100 metre line spacing, see map at http://visiblegoldmines.com/images/Ext167geophysics.jpg .\n\nUpon completion of the heliborne survey, Joël Dubé, Eng., a consultant specialized in geophysics, will generate anomaly-picking and interpretation maps. These products will be key in providing prospective guidance on potential diamond drilling targets. A preliminary map will be available soon after the survey is completed and final maps, data and report are expected within two weeks of completion of the data acquisition.\n\nA Eurocopter EC120B aircraft equipped with the lightweight ProspecTEM system and a Geometrics magnetometer will be used to carry out the survey. This cost-effective geophysical configuration is well adapted for reconnaissance surveys with the objective of delineating conductors to a depth of about 150 metres while maintaining excellent spatial resolution. Detailed heliborne MAG-TDEM surveying technology offers excellent penetration results for detecting discrete conductive anomalies as well as mapping lateral and vertical variations in resistivity at depth.  Given the conductive and magnetic nature of the angular mineralized boulders found by Visible Gold Mines along Road 167, the MAG-TDEM heliborne technology offers an adapted data combination, thus maximizing chances to discover the sub-outcropping sources of these boulders.\n\nIn addition to the results previously announced in its press release dated November 11, 2014, Visible Go...
