Norbeau Mines plans to drill six deep holes from surface on its Chibougamau property in northwestern Quebec to test the continuity of the Main and No 4 veins below the 1,000-ft level.
Cost of the program is estimated at $250,000.
For five years in the 1960s the Norbeau mine produced 419,000 tons of ore averaging 0.40 oz gold per ton. The company, 40% owned by Northgate Exploration, believes there is good potential for additional ore reserves below the 1,000- ft level. A 3-compartment shaft exists to 1,530 ft with eight of 10 levels developed by 15,000 ft of lateral workings.
