Vancouver — An eight-hole drill program by equal partners Soquem and Normabec Mining Resources (NMB-V) has hit significant gold mineralization under two surface showings at the Verneuil property in Quebec.
Three of the holes tested for mineralization under the 1b trench. Hole 13 cut 17.2 metres grading 2.4 grams gold per tonne from 35.6 metres down-hole. Included in this section was a higher-grade portion running 6.6 grams gold over 4.8 metres.
Moving 50 metres to the east, hole 14 returned 3.3 metres averaging 11.1 grams gold from 33.5 metres down-hole. Hole 15 was collared another 50 metres to the east and hit 7.1 grams gold over 0.4 metre from 21.1 metres down-hole.
Some 400 metres southeast of the #1 showing, hole 12 tested the depth extension of surface mineralization encountered in trench 12, which returned surface grab samples running up to 38.5 grams gold. This hole cut two zones yielding 6.8 grams gold and 138 grams silver over 0.5 metres from 158.5 metres down-hole and 30 grams gold over 0.5 metres from 171.3 metres down-hole.
Holes 18, 11, 16 and 17 tested the southeast, northwest and southern portions of the property, but failed to return any significant values.
