Marketwired
QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC (FRANKFURT: VL5) has released results of the
last three drill-holes completed on its Buteux-Fecteau property
located south of Chibougamau-Chapais, Province of Quebec. This
wide-grid drilling program followed-up on several IP (Induced
Polarization) conductors and several showings, some of which were
known previously and others which were discovered during field work
carried on the property last fall.
Nine drill-holes for a total of 2080 metres were completed
during this drilling campaign. Results of the first six drill-holes
were previously reported in our Press Release dated April 22,
2008.
The last three drill-holes of this program, (814 metres)
targeted the continuity and the eastern extension of an horizon
suitable for the discovery of copper and zinc mineralization. This
horizon was tested over 700 metres by trench-work and drilling.
These last drill-holes confirmed the continuity of this horizon
over more than 1000 metres laterally and to a depth of 185 metres.
The semi-massive to massive sulphides vary from to 2 to 5 metres in
thickness. The best intersection revealed 2.12% Zn over 0.5 metre
and 0.48% Zn and 0.13% Cu over 3.3 metres in drill-hole BU-08-08.
Drill-holes BU-08-07 and BU-08-09 returned 0.22% Cu over 2.1 metres
and 0.18% Zn and 0.14 Cu over 1 metre respectively. Although values
obtained are sub-economic, this drill-program nevertheless
confirmed with precision the favourable stratigraphy and the high
potential of the northern portion of the property for the discovery
of a VMS orebody.
During the month of May, Vior began a ground geophysics survey
on the north-eastern portion of the property and a VTEM
helicopter-borne survey will also be conducted during the second
quarter of the current year.
