Q PRECIOUS & BATTERY METALS REFINES TARGETING FOR DIAMOND DRILLING LA CORNE SOUTH PROJECT, VAL D'OR QUEBEC
Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. has provided an update on targeting for diamond drilling at its La Corne South project, located north of Val d'Or, Que.
As previously summarized (November, 2024), drill holes that have been completed to date were designed to test coincident TDEM (time-domain electromagnetic) conductors with magnetic highs. As reported in previous news releases, results from hole 24LCS-01 indicate robust, VMS-style (volcanogenic massive sulphide) mineralization containing elevated copper, zinc, silver and gold.
Continued drilling is planned for early 2025. The company's geologic team has continued to investigate the geophysical survey data, including three-dimensional modelling of the TDEM survey results. The successful drilling of the TDEM anomaly at holes 24LCS-01 to 24LCS-03 indicates that these targets are of primary interest for further testing. The geophysics show a cluster of TDEM anomalies farther to the south. In particular, TDEM anomalies EMG-1 and EMG-2 have been targeted for diamond drill testing. Maxwell plate modelling of these anomalies using Mircomine software indicates that EMG-1 and EMG-2 may be located within the same volcanic horizon that strikes general north to northwest and dips to the east, with EMG-1 being at depth beneath EMG-2. This makes for a very attractive drill target for initial testing planned for this winter.
The geophysics indicate a possible corridor of magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies over a two-kilometre strike. The corridor is open to the northwest where surveying has yet to be completed, and the company plans to extend the geophysical surveying in that direction once exploration resumes.
The company is looking forward to receiving results from holes 24LCS-02 and 24LCS-03, which will aid in exploration planning.
Explo-Logik Inc., located in Val d'Or, is managing exploration, including core logging and sampling at its facility. A total of 278 samples of core from the first three holes were directly delivered by Explo-Logik staff to the ALS laboratory in Val d'Or, Que. The samples underwent the ALS ME-MS61L process, which uses four-acid digestion of pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and process Au-ICP21, which analyzes for gold, platinum and palladium using fire assay. For quality assurance and quality control, Explo-Logik inserted blanks, standards and duplicates at one insert every 10 samples.
