Q Precious & Battery Metals To Resume Diamond Drilling La Corne South Project, Val D’or Quebec
Rhea-AI Summary
Q Precious and Battery Metals announces the resumption of diamond drilling at their La Corne South project near Val d'Or, Quebec for winter 2024-2025. Previous drilling results from hole 24LCS-01 showed significant VMS-style mineralization with:
- 1.8% copper equivalent over 6.1 metres, including 2.56% copper equivalent over 3.95 metres
- 0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 metres total mineralized zone
The company plans to continue testing geophysical anomalies, with a primary target located 215m below surface. The exploration corridor extends over two kilometers and remains open to the northwest. Results from holes 24LCS-02 and 24LCS-03 are pending.
Positive
- Strong mineralization results with 1.8% copper equivalent over 6.1 metres
- Extensive mineralized zone of 0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 metres
- Two-kilometer strike length of potential mineralization corridor
- 100% interest ownership in the property
Negative
- True widths of mineralization not yet determined
- Results from holes 24LCS-02 and 24LCS-03 still pending
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2024 / Q Precious and Battery Metals Corp. ("QMET" or the "Company") (CSE:QMET) is pleased announce recommencement of diamond drilling over the 2024-2025 winter at their La Corne South project located north of Val d'Or, Quebec. The winter drilling will continue testing geophysical anomalies similar to those tested by the three drill holes completed to date.
Three drill holes that have been completed to date were designed to test coincident TDEM conductors with magnetic highs (attached figure EMG-6). As reported in previous news releases, results from hole 24LCS-01 indicate robust VMS-style mineralization containing elevated copper, zinc, silver, and gold. Results from core samples submitted from holes 24LCS-02 and 24LCS-03 are expected to be released soon.
Using weighted averages combined with copper equivalents, the following has been calculated for the massive sulphide zone intercepted in hole 24LCS-01 (previously released September 8, 2024):
1.8 % copperequivalent** over 6.1 metres* (122.75-127.6), including,
The weighted average for the total mineralized zone from 102.15 metres to 127.6 metres is calculated at:
0.83% copper equivalent over 25.45 metres
*True widths of mineralization have not yet been determined
**Copper equivalents utilize USA
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 shows a cluster of TDEM anomalies further to the south, with the largest of the anomalies located approximately 215 m below surface. This anomaly (attached figure EMG-1) has potentially significant thickness as modelled by TMC (Maxwell plates). This will 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 kilometer 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 their 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, Quebec. The samples underwent ALS ME-MS61L process that uses 4-acid digestion of pulverized samples followed by mass spectrometer detection for 48 elements, and process Au-ICP21 that analyzes for gold, platinum, and palladium using fire assay. For quality assurance and control Explo-Logik inserted blanks, standards, and duplicates at one insert every 10 samples.
