Imperial Mining Intersects Wide Altered and Mineralized Shear Structure on the Opawica Gold Project, Quebec - Seite 2

(NOTE: Historical diamond drill results included in this release were obtained from data compilation and verification of available technical reports, including analytical records, submitted to the Quebec Government for property assessment purposes. All previous drill-holes, cross-sections and analytical results were verified from the Quebec Government SIGEOM geoscientific database. No issues were observed or noted during the data validation period.)

These diamond drill targets were selected for geological, geochemical and geophysical characteristics favourable for gold (Au) deposit formation. Target definition for the program was supplemented by using a predictive computer algorithm known as CET Grid Analysis. This application highlights the zones of high structural complexity using gold-favourable lineaments automatically mapped within total magnetic field reduced to pole geophysical data.

Drillhole O-20001: This drillhole tested an important NW-SE trending structural corridor discovered during the Summer 2019 geological mapping program. The borehole intersected a series of weakly to moderately sericitized interbedded sediments with local quartz-feldspar porphyry dikes (QFP) and terminated in a carbonate altered basalt. Thin quartz-carbonate veinlets of up to 10cm were intersected in drilling. Trace to 2% pyrite is observed in sedimentary rocks.
