Q PRECIOUS AND BATTERY METALS 2024 FALL-WINTER EXPLORATION PLANNING LA CORNE SOUTH PROJECT, VAL D'OR QUEBEC
Q Precious & Battery Metals Corp. has provided an update of exploration planning for the 2024 fall-winter period at its La Corne South project, located north of Val d'Or, Que. The planning is proposed as a follow-up from the results of core samples taken from the three holes completed to date.
Three drill holes that have been completed to date were designed to test a coincident TDEM (time-domain electromagnetic) conductor and magnetic high. 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. Samples submitted from holes 24LCS-02 and 24LCS-03 have yet to be obtained by the company.
Using weighted averages combined with copper equivalents, the following has been calculated for the massive sulphide zone intercepted in hole 24LCS-01 (see release dated Sept. 8, 2024):
1.8 per cent copper equivalent over 6.1 metres (122.75 m to 127.6 m), including:
2.56 per cent copper equivalent over 3.95 metres (122.75 m to 126.7 m).
The weighted average for the total mineralized zone from 102.15 metres to 127.6 metres is calculated at:
0.83 per cent copper equivalent over 25.45 metres.
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. TMC Geophysics conducted the magnetics and TDEM surveys, pointing out that several isolated conductive bodies occur within the area tested by geophysics. This includes the anomaly tested by the first three drill holes (EMG-6); however, the geophysics shows a cluster of TDEM anomalies further to the south (EMG-01, EMG-02 and EMG-03). The largest of the anomalies is located approximately 215 metres below surface. This anomaly (EMG-1) has potentially significant thickness as modelled by TMC (Maxwell plates). This may be the primary target for continued drilling at La Corne South.
The geophysics indicates a possible corridor of magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies over a two-kilometre strike within the volcanic host rocks. 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.
