ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, March 4, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - LOUNOR EXPLORATION INC. is pleased to announce the start of a drill program on the Matagami
Gold Property. The property is located in the Matagami mining camp and
is comprised of 106 mining claims located in the Isle-Dieu Township,
Province of Quebec, covering a total area of 1,632 hectares. The
Matagami mining camp has a long history of producing base and precious
metals with at least 15 mines to date (former and current producers).
The Matagami Gold Property is hosted by a gold bearing quartz-carbonate
vein system. A VSM-type polymetallic occurrence is also present on the
northern part of the property.
Polymetallic VMS Targets
Lounor's consultant geologist has discovered the existence and the
location of five (5) historic shallow holes (less than 80 meters) that
have returned Cu, Au, Ag, Zn values over width ranging from 5 meters to
9 meters. The values of these historic holes drilled in the 1960 ranged
from 1.5% copper to 3.5% copper; gold values ranged from 1g/t to 3 g/t;
silver values ranges from 1 g/t to 5 g/t and zinc values ranged from
1.5 % to 3%. Due to the significance of these results in relation to
the current price of commodities, Lounor has decided to complete a
follow-up exploration program.
Lounor completed a gravity survey, a ground electromagnetic survey
(infiniTEM). Strong conductors were identified and coincide with
gravity anomalies. The priority target will be drilled tested in the
coming weeks.
Gold Targets
Geological and geophysical compilation report was completed by MRB and
Associates, a geological consulting firm of Val-d'Or, from April 2012
to September 2012. A prospection and trenching campaign was completed
at the same time. Large areas of veins and veinlets were discovered.
More detailed compilation assessment works are underway and are
covering the area where is located the historical mineral inventory
(Marcelle, Edith and Rolande historical veins). The compilation is
realized on an area located 1.5 km south of the polymetallic targets.
Lounor is planning to drill the low grade gold targets in the summer of
2013.
