Vanstar Prepares a First Drilling Program on the Felix Project
09 Julho 2020 - 10:00AM
The management of Vanstar Mining Resources (TSX.V - VSR) announces
the preparation of a first drilling program of approximately 2,500
meters on the Felix project based on the various targets defined as
a result of a helicopter-borne magnetic survey carried out last
June.
This aerial survey will have identified several areas favorable
to be tested by drilling. Several targets are located near faults
and folded areas in a favorable geological environment. A drilling
section will also be carried out to verify a historic drill hole
that had revealed several significant gold values. Other boreholes
will test some Megatem conductors associated with magnetic highs
and located in a sedimentary environment.
The Felix project is located in an environment of
volcanosedimentary origin comprising a unit of volcanic rock in the
north, another in the south and the central part is occupied by
sedimentary rocks. Late intrusions in the form of batholiths,
plutons or dikes are also noted all around the property.
The property rests mainly on the rocks of the Chicobi Group. The
sedimentary basin contains mudstones and graphitic turbiditic
sandstones, with a minor magnetite-chert and hematite-jasper banded
iron formation and a conglomerate. A significant Algoma-type iron
formation is present in the northern part of the property. The gold
grades intersected in the historic drilling are located near the
southern contact of the latter.
In addition, the Chicobi-Nord regional fault crosses the
northern part of the property. This fault, of regional dimension,
borders the Normetal mining camp to the south. The project is
located in the eastern extension of this mining camp where there
are former massive sulphide mines and numerous gold showings, such
as those of the former Perron gold mine which are actively worked
on by Amex Exploration.
Shear zones parallel to the Chicobi-Nord fault are also found in
the sediments of the Chicobi Group and as evidenced by the Authier
gold showings located west of the property.
In addition, the company will undertake a helicopter-borne
magnetic survey of approximately 5,375 km in the coming days to
cover all of its Amanda, Frida and Eva projects, all located in the
James Bay region. This survey will eventually support the result of
the geological and prospecting work currently underway on these
projects and will help to better define potential drilling
targets.
Finally, with regard to the work currently underway on the
Nelligan project, the company is still awaiting results from the
drilling completed during the winter of 2020.
This press release was read and approved by Mr. Gilles
Laverdière, consulting geologist and qualified person according to
Canadian standard 43-101.
