Azimut acquires the Kaanaayaa Gold-Copper Property, James Bay region, Quebec
Symbol: AZM.TSX Venture
LONGUEUIL, QC, March 28, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut" or the "Company") (TSXV: AZM) is pleased to announce it recently acquired the Kaanaayaa Property (the "Project") to cover an excellent gold-copper exploration target in the James Bay region of Quebec (see Figure 1). This wholly owned Project is about 10 km southeast of the Pikwa Property (Azimut-SOQUEM). Azimut will undertake a detailed lake-bottom sediment geochemical survey over the Project, followed by a prospecting phase.
The Project comprises 390 claims (200.5 km2) acquired by map designation. It has the following notable features (see Figures 2 to 5):
- Strong regional-scale geochemical footprint in lake-bottom sediments, combining bismuth, silver, copper, molybdenum and tungsten; this footprint is comparable to the signature over gold and polymetallic prospects on the Pikwa Property (see press release of March 20, 2019).
- Favourable geology characterized by metasedimentary and mafic to intermediate volcanic formations crosscut by several small granitic intrusions; the fertile nature of these intrusions for mineralization may be revealed by the polymetallic footprint present on the Project.
- Favourable structural context with a kilometre-scale Z-fold that may have acted as a trap for mineralization.
Past exploration on the Project is very limited. An adjacent property, jointly held by Osisko Baie James and Goldcorp Inc., hosts several significant gold prospects about 5 km southwest of the Project, notably the Marco Prospect (1.07 g/t Au over 27.0 m and 10.1 g/t Au over 5.2 m) and the Contact West Zone (11.82 g/t Au over 4.7 m).
This press release was prepared by Dr. Jean-Marc Lulin, P.Geo., acting as Azimut's qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.
