[{"type":"text","content":"Ottawa, Ontario / The Newswire / August 23, 2017 - Albert Mining Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Albert\") (TSX-V: AIIM) is pleased to announce the completion of a prospecting and till sampling program at its 100% owned James Bay Kimberlite project (JBK project), Laparre Diamond and Nelly Neilson Gold projects in the James Bay area, Quebec. James Bay Kimberlite project (JBK) Albert Mining has completed a preliminary evaluation of its geophysical targets located in the vicinity of the Renard Diamond Mine in central Quebec. A total of 42 high-priority targets exhibiting signatures of kimberlite bodies as revealed by CARDS' (Computer Aided Resources Detection System) treatment of available data were tested through field examination of the immediate area, followed by glacial sediment sampling as required. The work was done by two senior geologists and supported by helicopter. Only three of the targets were discarded because of the presence of abundant outcrops of country rocks at the site; the remaining fall in areas of obvious glacial cover or lakes. Accordingly, a total of 45 samples of till were collected some 200 m to 600 m down-ice from the targets in order to ascertain whether they correspond to punctual sources of kimberlitic indicator minerals (KIMs). The samples were securely shipped by Albert's staff to Overburden Drilling Management (ODM) in Ottawa for treatment and identification of KIMs. Results are expected at the end of September 2017 and will be used to help identify potential targets for follow up exploration. Laparre Diamond The most significant occurrence of KIMs indicated from Albert's (formerly known as Majescor) archives for the Laparre Project Area was resampled during this campaign. The original sample hole was easily located from GPS coordinates and it was properly resampled. Concurrently, four new samples of glacial sediment were collected on a 100m-spacing line extending to the east and west sides. These five additional samples are part of the sample shipment to ODM. These results should confirm both the count and chemistry of the KIMs present at Laparre. Nelly Neilson Gold A number of gold-bearing till sample (20-50 visible gold grains) were followed-up through closely spaced sampling (every 100 - 150 m) along two transects drawn perpendicularly to ice flow. A higher content of Archean rock fragments observed ...
