Furthermore, on October 23, during the XPLOR 2019 convention, a conference called "Nelligan Project : a wide gold-bearing system hosted in a detritical sedimentary sequence – An important discovery for the Chapais-Chibougamau mining district" will be given by IAMGOLD. In addition, IAMGOLD will hold a booth presenting technical information related to the Nelligan project and some samples of rock from the different gold zones identified by the exploration work.

Our partner will also have a space at the Core Shack section to expose different sections of drill holes to show the entire stratigraphy and alterations typical of the Renard zone.
