TORONTO, Feb. 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Enforcer Gold Corp
("Enforcer" or the "Company") (TSX-V: VEIN; FSE: N071) is pleased
to report on a new zone of mineralization named the OR79 zone
located approximately 1.5 km west-southwest of the Galena-No.2 vein
area at the Company's Montalembert gold project.
The OR79 zone was discovered by prospecting in a relatively
low-lying area that was logged in 2010. Gold mineralization is
associated with the presence of sulphides in shear-hosted quartz
veins within altered mafic and granitic rocks. Assay results from
22 grab samples of isolated outcrops within the area range from
0.50 to 9.19 g/t Au (Table 1). Nine saw-cut channels returned up to
3.72 g/t Au over 0.4 m width. (Table
2). Note that grab samples are selective by nature and values
reported may not be representative of the mineralized zones.
President & CEO, Steve
Roebuck, comments:
"OR79 was discovered in a previously forested area with very low
outcrop exposure, which may explain why it was missed by previous
explorers. The association of gold mineralization with sulphides in
the quartz veining is different from the Galena-No.2 area and we've
also found gold mineralization within the sheared sulphide-rich
gabbroic host rocks. Overall it appears to be a new style of
mineralization at Montalembert and worth follow-up with ground IP
and a first pass drilling program."
The low outcrop density in the area impedes an understanding of
the frequency and continuity of the veining and mineralization. A
20 line-km IP geophysical survey is underway in advance of a
1,500 m diamond drilling program set
to commence in early February.

Geologically, the area lies in the vicinity of a faulted contact
between the Waswanipi granitic
pluton and comagmatic basaltic volcanics and gabbroic intrusive
rocks. The gold mineralization occurs within shear-hosted,
north-northwest trending and moderately east dipping quartz veins
that range in width from 0.3 to 1.0
m. The veins cut through all of the rock types and are
sometimes accompanied by anastomosing or cross-cutting felsic
dikes. The granitic and mafic host rocks are typically silicified,
carbonatized and hematite altered adjacent to the veins. Within the
veins, gold mineralization is believed to be spatially associated
with sericite, chlorite, pyrite, and locally chalcopyrite,
sphalerite and galena. Higher-grade gold values are associated with
up to 2% disseminated pyrite in the quartz veins.
Of interest, in 1985 Northgate Patino Mines Inc. ("Northgate")
completed an IP survey over an area just east of the new OR79 zone.
Several north-northwest trending chargeability anomalies were
reported, including one at the westernmost end of the survey near
the location of OR79. In the assessment report (GM43087), this
anomaly is described as the beginning of a good anomalous zone;
however, time and budget constraints did not allow for pursuing it
further to the west. Despite a recommendation to extend the survey,
is was not completed and the anomaly has never been drilled.
Northgate did drill test a separate anomaly situated ~600 m east of
OR79 and encountered sheared, silicified and quartz veined gabbro
hosting up to 15% pyrite mineralization and anomalous gold up to
1.71 g/t over 1.2 m downhole.
QAQC
Channel samples were collected from bedrock exposures utilizing
a diamond-blade power saw. Channel samples are typically cut 2"
wide and 2" deep and are cut perpendicular to the strike of the
quartz-bearing structures. True width is estimated to be 90-100% of
cut width. Sample preparation and analyses were performed by
Activation Laboratories Ltd. of Ancaster,
Ontario, an ISO/IEC 17025 (CAN-P-1579) accredited testing
laboratory. Details of the analytical procedure and Enforcer's
Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QAQC") program are available on
the Enforcer website at: Montalembert QAQC.
About Enforcer Gold Corp
Enforcer Gold Corp is earning a 100% interest in the
Montalembert gold project from Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (TSX:
GMX, FSE: GIMN, OTCQX: GLBXF) and a 50% interest in the
advanced-stage Roger gold-copper porphyry property from SOQUEM.
Both properties are located in Quebec's prolific Abitibi greenstone belt. The
Montalembert property lies 5 km from a paved highway and
hydro-electric power and has easy access to skilled labour, fuel,
