Kernow Resources Mobilizes Drill Rig to Orvillier's Property in Northern Quebec

Strategic Insights -

Kernow Resources and Developments Ltd., a Vancouver-based company, has commenced drilling operations at its Orvillier's property, located along the Casa Berardi Break in northern Quebec. The move marks a significant step in the company's efforts to explore the region for gold and base metal deposits. The property, which has shown promising results from previous drilling and sampling, will be subjected to a comprehensive drilling program aimed at identifying and characterizing mineralized structures.

Key Takeaways:

  • Kernow Resources has mobilized a drill rig to its Orvillier's property in northern Quebec, with the aim of completing six diamond drill holes on four different structures identified through a comprehensive Induced Polarization/Resistivity survey.
  • The Company is targeting Casa Berardi gold style mineralization on structures A, D, and E, located in the north of the property, which are believed to represent the Casa Berardi Break.
  • Structure B, located in the southern portion of the property, has the potential to host both base and precious metal occurrences.
  • Previous bedrock and overburden sampling carried out in the 1980s returned many anomalous values for gold, both on the property and in the immediate vicinity.
  • The drilling program is designed to explore the Casa Berardi gold style mineralization and to identify potential base and precious metal occurrences.
  • The Orvillier's property covers a significant area, with Structure B extending over 2 kilometers in length and Structure A defined by airborne input conductors, the I.P. survey, and drill holes containing gold mineralization 800 meters to the west and east of the property boundary.

Statistics:

  • The drill rig has been mobilized to the Orvillier's property, where six diamond drill holes are planned on four different structures.
  • The Casa Berardi Break run for approximately 800 meters to the west and east of the property boundary.
  • Structure B is approximately 2 kilometers in length.
  • The property has shown anomalous gold values in previous bedrock and overburden sampling, with values recorded in the 1980s.
  • The drilling program is expected to provide further information on the mineralization potential of the Orvillier's property.
