Quebec Silica Resources Corp. Performs Sampling and Begins Environmental Assessment at the Charlevoix Silica Project
Vancouver, November 24, 2021 - Quebec Silica Resources Corp. (CSE: QTZ) ("Quebec Silica," or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a phase of fieldwork has been performed on the Company's flagship Charlevoix Silica Project (the "Property" or the "Project").
Under the advisement of Marc R. LaFlèche, a geological field team has been carrying out a geological and geochemical (radiometric) sampling reconnaissance of the silica deposit. The samples recovered from the property will be analyzed at the Applied Geoscience Laboratory at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (the "INRS"). The samples will undergo granulochemical, mineragraphic and mineralogical analyses and geometallurgical studies planned for Winter 2021- 2022. These samples will be used to verify and optimize the processes of SiO2 (silica) enrichment and elimination of impurities (such as Fe-Ti and Al) to produce high purity silica. Gravimetric, magnetic (low and high intensity) and electrostatic methods will be used, among others, to optimize the Si02 enrichment process. The purpose of these studies is to determine the suitability of the material for use in the technology industry and the optimal techniques to refine the product.
An environmental field team also traversed the property to perform a high-level environmental assessment and to determine how to construct a low-impact access trail throughout the property. The purpose of the access trail is to be able to permit and execute the subsequent phases of exploration, which are expected to consist of line cutting, additional geophysics surveys, trenching, and drilling.
Professor Marc Richer- LaFlèche is the Scientific Head of the Applied Geoscience Laboratory at the INRS. His research is mainly based on geophysical and geochemical studies and covers a wide range of applications from mining geophysics to marine geoscience and even archaeology. He is a "Qualified Person" for National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
