Globex and Queenston Commence Drilling on Wood-Pandora Property
The Wood-Pandora property straddles the gold localizing Cadillac Break and is near the LaRonde Mine property operated by Agnico-Eagle Mines Inc. On the JV property there are historic inferred mineral resources of 1.43 million tonnes ("t") grading 5.3 g/t Au in two deposits, Wood and Central Cadillac. These historic resources were calculated prior to NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon as they have not been verified by a Qualified Person under the Instrument. In 2008, the JV announced a NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource on a new gold discovery, the Ironwood Zone, amounting to 243,200 t grading 17.3 g/t Au. The mineral resource formed part of a technical report completed by Consulting Geologist and QP, Reno Pressacco, P. Geo.
In October 2011, Globex and Queenston announced the results of a four-hole drill program near the No. 3 shaft on the Pandora portion of the property (see News Release dated October 11, 2011). All holes encountered significant gold mineralization with the deepest hole, W-11-92,, intersecting 4.9 metres grading 28.86 g/t Au within the Cadillac Break at approximately 350 metres ("m") below surface.
After detailed review and compilation of the historical data, a follow up drilling program was recommended to target the Cadillac Break in the vicinity of W-11-92 where the mineralization remains open both east and west along strike and to depth. It is important to note that the Lapa Gold deposit currently being mined by Agnico-Eagle occurs on the Cadillac Break 3 km to the east and the Lapa deposit begins at a vertical depth similar to the depth of the mineralization encountered in JV hole W-11-92.
