Metanor Confirms the Discovery of a New Auriferous Corridor Near Surface
VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct 27, 2015) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) is pleased to provide this update on its exploration drilling program, from the surface, in the area surrounding the Bachelor Mine. The analysis and assaying of hole MO-15-14 (published on September 22nd ) continued and more auriferous zones were identified below the original discovery.
The results are in the table below:
Hole No | From (m) | To (m) | length (m)* | Au grade capped (g/t) | Remark | |
MO-15-14 | 38.29 | 45.18 | 6.89 | 9.97 | Hematized sheared Tuf - 2% Pyrite (Py) | |
210.98 | 212.56 | 1.59 | 4.26 | Hematized sheared Tuf - 2% Py | ||
MO-15-81 | 6.71 | 21.59 | 14.88 | 7.6 | Hematized sheared Tuf - 2% Py |
*Core length |
A second hole drilled near the first hole confirms the presence of an important zone. The analyses of the hole MO-15-81 is not complete and will continue in the coming days. In addition, drilling activities are continuing in this sector, located 1 km south of the Bachelor Mine; other holes are being assayed and the results will be published as they become available.
The true width of the vein cannot be determined at this point from the core obtained in diamond drill holes. More holes are required to define the direction and dip of the vein. The cap-off grade used in the analysis is 31 g/T or 1 oz Au. The samples were assayed by fire-assay at the Metanor assay lab. The quality control program of the assay results (QA QC) adopted by Metanor includes a minimum of 10% of controlled assays being conducted as well as verification by an independent external assay lab.
