About the Elmer Property (see Figures 1 to 3)
The Elmer Property comprises 515 claims (271.3 km2) over a 35-kilometre strike length. It lies 285 kilometres north of the town of Matagami, 60 kilometres east of the village of Eastmain, and 5 kilometres west of the paved Billy-Diamond Highway, a major all-season highway. The region benefits from excellent infrastructure, including significant road access, a hydroelectric power grid and airports.
Azimut’s maiden resource estimate for the Patwon Zone comprises 311,200 ounces at 1.93 g/t Au Indicated and 513,200 ounces at 1.94 g/t Au Inferred. The estimate was prepared using a gold price of $1,800 per ounce as a base case and includes a sensitivity study that considers a gold price of up to $2,160 per ounce. At this level, the estimated resources stand at 324,800 ounces at 1.76 g/t Au Indicated and 585,400 ounces at 1.77 g/t Au Inferred (see press releases of November 21, 2023, and January 4, 2024). The independent NI 43-101 Technical Report can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on the Company’s website (www.azimut-exploration.com).
The project greatly benefits from a comprehensive quality database that includes:
- High-resolution heliborne magnetic survey: 2,657 line-kilometres
- Induced polarization: 160 line-kilometres
- Till surveys: 391 samples
- Prospecting: 1,901 grab and channel samples
- Diamond drilling (from 2019 to 2023): 242 holes totalling 76,163 metres, including Patwon definition (167 holes, 60,609 m) and exploration drilling (75 holes, 15,554 m)
- Reverse circulation drilling (2022): 507 holes for bedrock sampling for a total of 6,681 metres
- Remote sensing and lithostructural interpretation
