Mines d'Or Orbec Inc. Announces Successful Drilling Campaign at Muus Property in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt

Strategic Insights -

Mines d'Or Orbec Inc. has successfully completed its 2,000+ metre spring 2025 drilling campaign at its 100% owned Muus property in Quebec's Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The drilling campaign was designed to intersect lineaments interpreted from a 2025 high-resolution magnetic drone survey and to follow-up on historical drilling results obtained east and west of the current targets. Although all assays are pending and are expected to be received from the independent laboratory in approximately 6 weeks, the latest results further appear to confirm the property's potential to host gold mineralization.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Muus property is strategically located along the Guercheville Deformation Zone ("GDZ"), a major known gold-bearing structure that also hosts IAMGOLD's Gold Discovery multi-million ounce indicated mineral resource.
  • The Abitibi greenstone belt is one of Canada's most productive gold structures, and Orbec's dominant land position of approximately 25,000 ha gives it discovery upside.
  • Promising results were obtained in the Lac Bernard area, including the presence of fuchsite, a mineral often associated with gold-bearing systems, and a thick competent sedimentary unit (siltstone) that contains strong veining of grey quartz.
  • The occurrence of multiple silicified and pyrite bearing zones and the geological similarities to nearby major gold systems such as IAMGold's Nelligan Discovery strengthen the case for a robust mineralized environment on the property.
  • The results, combined with historical gold values, highlight the Muus property as a highly prospective exploration opportunity.
  • John Tait, President and CEO, expressed his satisfaction with the geological team's effort and the potential of the Muus property.

Statistics:

  • 2,000+ metres drilled in 2025 spring campaign.
  • Assays pending to be received from independent laboratory in approximately 6 weeks.
  • Muus property covers approximately 51,000 hectares in five separate blocks of prospective ground in the eastern part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
  • Indicated mineral resource of 3.1 million ounces of Gold in 102 million tonnes at 0.95 grams per ton at IAMGOLD's Nelligan Discovery.
  • Inferred mineral reserve of 5.1 million ounces of Gold in 166 million tonnes at 0.96 grams per ton at IAMGOLD's Nelligan Discovery.
