ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, Dec. 18, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources
Inc. (TSXV: XTT) (FRANKFURT: XTR) ("X-Terra") is pleased to
report the completion of a significant helicopter-borne
electromagnetic (''VTEM'') survey on its wholly-owned Ducran
project, acquired in 2017. The Ducran property is comprised of 66
mining claims covering a surface area of approximately
36 km2. The Ducran property is located
approximately 14 kilometres to the South of the town of
Chapais in the Province of Québec
and is easily accessible by a series of logging roads.
Given its significant depth penetration, this VTEM survey,
conducted along flight lines spaced 75-metre apart and totalling
approximately 319 line kilometres, is designed to detect new
conductors that can be associated to the main Ni-Cu-Zn and Ag
showing discovered in 2017 (see X-Terra's press release dated
October 31, 2017) and also to
identify new conductors in this favorable geological context.
In the fall of 2017, the X-Terra's exploration team outlined a
polymetallic mineralization hosted by mafic schist in a sheared
polyphased intrusion (diorite, quartz diorite and gabbro) and
extended it by drilling to 54 metres vertically and 25 metres to
the South-East. The mineralized shear is open at depth and in all
directions. Additionally, the historical Boma showing, in which a
short drill hole was completed in 1965, located at 570 metres to
the South-East of the Ducran showing returned 5.14 g/t Au, 12.77%
Cu and 84.34 g/t Ag over 0.61 metres (GM 48085) and remains
open.
Following the VTEM survey, X-Terra will perform follow-up work
in an effort to validate the anomalies in the vicinity of the
Ducran and Boma showings as well as the new VTEM anomalies located
in favourable geological settings.
In other news, X-Terra is also pleased to announce the results
