Q PRECIOUS AND BATTERY METALS DRILL CORE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED SOON LA CORNE SOUTH PROJECT, VAL D'OR QUEBEC
Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp.'s diamond drill core from the La Corne South drill program is currently being analyzed at ALS Labs in Val d'Or, and results are expected soon. Three drill holes were completed within the project claims all of which intercepted semi-massive and massive sulphide mineralization.
The three drill holes completed to date were designed to test a coincident TDEM conductor and magnetic high discovered previously by QMET geophysical surveys, and each hole intercepted disseminated to massive sulphide mineralization including copper and zinc minerals. The company completed a total of 426 metres of drilling that tested an approximate 50 metres of strike length of the target.
The core was logged and sampled at a facility in Val d'Or. Explo-Logik Inc is managing the drill program. Visual observations of the drill core reveal the presence of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite as well as sections of potential pentlandite (Ni). The style of mineralization is volcanic-rock hosted with possible VMS association. QMET warns the reader that the information provided at this time in regard to drill holes 24LCS-01, 02 and 03 are preliminary in nature with characterization based upon initial visual observations undertaken by a qualified professional at the site. Samples of the core will be analyzed to verify the quantity of metals contained within the sulphide mineralization (including possible copper-zinc-silver-gold). A total of 278 samples of core were directly delivered by Explo-Logik staff to the ALS laboratory in Val d'Or, Que. The core is undergoing ALS Lab's ME-MS61L process that uses four-acid digestion of pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and process AU ICP21 that analyzes for gold using fire assay.
QMET will continue the diamond drilling program on the La Corne South project later this summer. The drill program will continue to test TDEM conductors and magnetic anomalies along the strike of the host volcanic rocks. A corridor length of approximately two kilometres is to be tested with an additional five or six drill holes of average 100 metres depth. The drill hole succession will advance depending upon the geology observed in each drill hole, and upon the laboratory results obtained from the core currently being analyzed at the lab.
The QMET geologic team is very pleased with the mineralization intercepted to date in holes 24LCS-01, 02 and 03 as it supports the exploration model for volcanic hosted sulphides at La Corne South.
The geologic team, including qualified person and project manager Gilles Carrier of Explo-Logik Inc., will continue to monitor the drilling and sample mineralized intercepts, and to continue interpretation for targeting of future drill holes. Drill core logging and sampling will take place at the Explo-Logik facility in Val d'Or.
