Yorbeau Resources Successfully Completes Its Drilling Program on the Scott Lake Property in Chibougamau, Quebec
November 10 2022 - 7:30AM
Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB), (“Yorbeau” or the
“Company”) completed a 4,586-metre drilling program on its
Scott Lake property in early November. Since the last press release
on October 5, 2022, the Company has drilled one hole (SC-93) and
placed two wedges (SC 95 W1, SC-95 W2) from hole SC-95 to intersect
the new zinc and copper zone located less than 300 metres west of
the Scott Lake deposit and the Gwillim Lake regional Fault. The
hole and the two wedges all intersected the zinc and copper
mineralized zone over widths ranging from
3 to 8
metres. The mineralization has now been intersected in
five holes over
100 metres laterally and remains
open over the entire surface of the modelled 175 metres by 175
metres conductive plate.
A figure illustrating the position
of holes relative to the conductive plate will be available on the
Company's website in a few days.
Mineralized zone samples are now being prepared
at the Company’s Rouyn-Noranda facility and will be sent to the
analytical laboratory as soon as possible. Results are expected in
the first quarter of 2023.
Yorbeau also plans to conduct a geophysical
survey at the western most SC-93 drill hole to identify the
potential presence of new lenses associated with tuff horizons
present at a few locations along the drill hole.
Mr. Laurent Hallé, P.Geo., Consulting Geologist
and qualified person for the purposes of N1 43-101 with respect to
the technical information being reported on has read and approved
this press release.
In
2015, Yorbeau expanded its portfolio of properties in Quebec
by acquiring strategic base metals in regions
with high potential in the Abitibi
belt which offer favorable infrastructure to mining
development.
Acquired base metal properties include the
Scott Project comprising several mineralized zones that have
volcanogenic massive sulphides (“VMS” mineralization
characteristics). The VMS-style mineralization at the Scott
Project includes several distinct lenses of stratiform massive
sulphides located along or near rhyolite-andesite/basalt
contacts. In addition to sulphides, distinct areas of
vein-like and disseminated sulphides of VMS (stingers) style, which
can either connect to massive sulphides or not, have been
intersected over a distance of at least 2 kilometers in an
east-west direction. According to a Preliminary Economic
Assessment (“PEA”) conducted in late 2017 by Roscoe Postle
Associates (“RPA”), the project represents an opportunity to
develop a mine located near the towns of Chibougamau
and Chapais, a typical northern mining development
environment, offering the housing benefits as well as the
availability labor.
About Yorbeau Resources
The 100% owned Rouyn property contains four
known gold deposits in the six-kilometre-long Augmitto-Astoria
corridor located in the western part of the property. The Company
signed a definitive agreement in December 2018 that gives IAMGOLD
the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Rouyn property, and a
major drilling program is underway on the property. Two of the four
deposits, Astoria and Augmitto, have substantial underground
infrastructure and have been the subject of technical reports that
include resource estimates and have been filed in accordance with
NI 43-101.
