Osisko Mining (TSX:OSK) has announced initial drill results from its 100 percent owned Black Dog gold project in Quebec.
As quoted in the press release:

Drilling is targeting geophysical conductors identified with an airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey completed earlier in the year by Osisko that coincide with a 600 x 800 metre circular magnetic anomaly. The geophysical anomalies sit atop a zone of pervasive and/or brecciated quartz-tourmaline-sulfide alteration that has been the object of historical shallow drilling.
DDH OSK-BD-16-002 was collared 150 metres to the east of an outcropping alteration zone (dubbed “Tourmaline Hill”).  This new hole intersected 6.14 g/t Au and 34.1 g/t Ag over 14.4 metres, including 15.6 g/t Au and 93.5 g/t Ag over 2.8 metres in a mineralized tourmaline breccia containing 2-15% coarse pyrite and 10% chalcopyrite.  This intersection is part of a wider intercept that averaged 3.42 g/t Au and 23.2 g/t Ag over the entire intersected length of 32.1 metres.  Significant results from the two drill holes are presented in the table below.  DDH OSK-BD-16-001 was collared 600 metres to the SW of OSK-BD-16-002 and intersected 5.76 g/t Au and 34.8 g/t Ag over 0.9 metres in a tourmaline breccia.
Further drilling is currently in progress and is directed at determining the extent and continuity of the new mineralization discovered at Black Dog.
