Noront reports base metal discovery

Toronto-based Noront Resources (NOT-V) has reported the dicovery of a base metal showing at its claims in the Lac Rocher area of northwestern Quebec.

The showing is hosted in an assemblage of paragneissic rocks 6 km south of the Nuinsco Resources nickel discovery. The discovery consists of a 25-metre-wide zone of rusty, altered and deformed rock carrying 3-5% sulphides. The best assays from three grab samples returned 1.77% copper and 7.17% zinc with low values in gold and nickel.

Noront is planning a program of trenching and sampling.
