Four drill holes at the Lemoine property, 25 km southeast of Chibougamau, Que., have returned low-grade intersections for operator
Inmet, which is earning a 60% interest from Loubel, tested four drill targets, all of which are on conductive zones found in a ground-electromagnetic survey. Three of the holes intersected minor zinc mineralization.
The first hole, 2 km northeast of the former Lemoine mine, cut a 3-metre interval of tuff that ran 0.51% zinc. The tuff appears to be the same stratigraphic unit that hosted the mineralization at the Lemoine mine (which produced 758,000 tonnes of ore grading 9.56% zinc and 4.2% copper, with gold and silver credits).
A second hole, an identical distance southwest of the old mine, intersected a wide zone of highly altered volcanic rocks that ran 0.2% copper over 16 metres and 0.34% copper over a separate 6-metre interval. A third hole, collared 1.5 km southeast of the mine, encountered 1 metre grading 0.75% zinc, again in tuff.
Inmet plans to perform further work on all the intersections and has core samples out for geochemical analysis.
