Globex Acquires Two More Highly Prospective Gold Properties
July 08 2024 - 9:00AM
GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX – Toronto Stock
Exchange, G1MN – Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich,
Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz, LS Exchange, TTMzero,
Düsseldorf and Quotrix Düsseldorf Stock
Exchanges and GLBXF – OTCQX
International in the US) wishes to inform shareholders
that, through a transaction with IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD”,
IMG-TSX, IAG-NYSE), Globex has acquired two gold projects located
in the Abitibi West area of Quebec. Globex has acquired the former
Eldrich Gold Mine (also called Pierre Beauchemin
Gold Mine) northwest of Rouyn-Noranda and the
Porcupine
West Gold property, west of the town of Duparquet, Quebec.
The transaction saw Globex acquiring these two properties in
exchange for Globex’s
Rich Lake (base-metals) and
Lac à l’Eau Jaune (gold) properties.
Both
Globex and IAMGOLD retain a one percent (1%) Net Smelter Royalty in
their respective traded properties. The two additional royalties on
Rich Lake and Lac à l’Eau Jaune bring Globex’s royalty portfolio
total to 105. No cash or shares were issued as part of the
transaction.
Eldrich Gold Mine
The Eldrich Gold Mine is located 14 km northwest
of Rouyn-Noranda and consists of 8 claims totalling 235.55 ha.
Between 1955 and 1962, 652,400 t grading 4.8 g/t Au (100,679 oz.
Au) was mined from 7 levels to a depth of 309 m (1,015 ft). In
1987, Cambior reported a resource of 1,433,100 t grading 5.3 g/t Au
(244,195 oz Au). Mining began in 1989 and terminated in 1993.
Remaining resources are reported as 213,317 t grading 5.8
g/t (39,788 oz Au) using cut-offs of 4 g/t Au and 30 g/t
Au. (Note: In 1988, the gold price declined from a high of
$483.00 per ounce to a low of $395.00 per ounce, finishing the year
at $410.00 per ounce while a Cambior Profitability Study
anticipated a price of $560.00 per ounce). Considering the
6X increase in the price of gold since the 1988 study, Globex
considers that a fresh look at the exploration and economic
potential of the mine property is very much warranted. It
is worth noting that the area of the mine has not been drilled to
any large extent below the 10th level (+/- 500 m). We consider that
there is significant potential to depth as well as beyond the mine
workings both to the north and south where historical drilling
returned multiple ore grade gold intersections such as 7.46
g/t Au over 15.6 m and 6.53 g/t Au over 41,8 m and 4.36 g/t Au over
15 m in the Bounder Hill B Zone and 3.95 g/t Au over 38.0 m, 4.67
g/t Au over 51.0 m, 5.60 g/t Au over 40.3 m and 16.17 g/t Au over
7.0 m in the Boulder Hill A Zone, both located on strike north of
the mine (note: lengths reported are core lengths from
drilling undertaken between 1947 and 1953 as well as in 1974).
Gold mineralization at the Eldrich Mine follows
a north-northeast trend and dips 35o to 45o SE. Mineralization is
associated with pyrite in four major rock types: meta-trondhjemite,
meta-tonalite, hybrid rocks and meta-diorite, all spatially
distributed as a series of sub-horizontal tabular sills that form a
genetically related group.
Porcupine West Property
The Porcupine West property is located in
Hebecourt Township, Quebec west of the town of Duparquet and
consists of 89 claims totalling 4,711.27 hectares covering
over 14 kilometres of the gold localizing Porcupine-Destor
Break.
Compiled data indicates that 355 drill holes
totalling 52,339 m have been undertaken on the property including
153 RC Till holes. The average hole length is 270 m and the longest
hole 1,122 m. A goodly number of geophysical surveys have been
undertaken on the property including AEM and AMAG, IP, Ground EM
and Mag as well as BeepMat surveys.
Gold mineralization has been encountered at many
locations along the +14km property strike length. Two areas were
more intensely drilled including the Nemrod Zone over a
strike length of 1.6 km and width of 280 m and the
Structure 71 Zone consisting of numerous lenses, the Main
Lenses being 200 m long and 2.5 m wide and tested to 120 m depth
showing thicknesses of between 1.5 m and 5.6 m. Other lenses #2, #3
and #4 report gold values between 2 g/t Au and 6.7 g/t Au over
varying widths of up to 3m. Globex considers that there is much
potential untested on the property especially at depth and in
structures both parallel and cross cutting to the gold localizing
Porcupine-Destor Break.
Mineralization consists principally of pyrite
and minor arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite in bleach zones (K2O
depletion and Na2O enrichment) crosscutting basalt. A
historical resource of 195,300 t grading 5.2 g/t Au is reported,
156,630t grading 5.1 g/t Au being within the Main
Lens.
Several other areas on the property, such as the
Hebecourt Lake and St-François occurrences, also report gold
values. These areas have seen less drilling than the two previously
mentioned areas.
Acquiring +14 km of the gold localizing
Porcupine-Destor Break positioned between the Beattie and
Donchester Gold Mines to the east and Harker-Halloway Gold Mines to
the west and the Eldrich Gold Mine northwest of Rouyn-Noranda, adds
significant, prospective land positions to the gold asset base of
Globex.
