InvestmentPitch Media Video Discusses Orford Mining’s Discovery of Two New Quartz Vein Systems and a new copper showing on its Qiqavik gold property in Northern Quebec

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orford Mining Corporation (TSXV:ORM) has discovered two new quartz vein systems and a new copper showing on its Qiqavik gold property. The Qiqavik gold property, West Raglan and the company’s lithium exploration projects comprise a land package totaling more than 111,000 hectares in the Cape Smith Belt of Northern Quebec.

The Qiqavik gold property (100% interest) hosts high-grade gold occurrences at surface, in multiple project areas, across its more than 40 km breadth. Orford completed drilling on both the new Gerfaut East and Central Intrusive quartz vein gold systems and channel sampling on the copper showing and awaits assay results.

The 2023 work focused on drilling, geophysics, and prospecting on the Gerfaut East, Central, Annick and Eric project areas of the belt. In total 34 Rotary Air Blast holes were drilled for a total of 2,435 meters and 32 line-km of ground IP surveys were completed. Orford is waiting for results from 88% of the 2620 samples taken from drilling and the 233 surface samples collected.

The newly discovered Gerfaut East vein system, found within a NNE-trending structure that can be traced for over 400m along strike, is comprised of a series of sulfide-bearing quartz veins outcropping up to 15 m in length containing galena, chalcopyrite and pyrite. This structural corridor hosts gold-bearing quartz veins cutting a felsic intrusive, with assays received to date from surface grab samples returning up to 32.3 g/t Au. Six RAB drillholes were also completed which intersected quartz veins within the top 50m of drilling, with assays pending.

The newly discovered Central Intrusive vein system is defined by a series of subparallel E-W shears with ankerite alteration and sulfide veins up to 2 cm in width containing galena, pyrite and arsenopyrite in local granodiorite boulders. Grab samples of quartz veins previously collected in nearby areas reported up to 30.8 g/t Au. Three holes intersected altered granodiorite containing minor sulfides. Again, grab sample and drilling assay results are pending.
