Kintavar Begins Drilling on the Stratiform Copper Mitchi Project in Quebec

Kintavar Exploration (TSXV:KTR) has announced that it has begun its diamond core drilling program on the stratiform copper Mitchi project in the Grenville geological province in Quebec.

According to the release, the drilling program for the summer months is divided over the two main corridors: Sherlock in the south and Nasigon in the North. Over 2,000 meters are planned on the Sherlock corridor in June where initial drilling intersected stratiform copper mineralization from surface in January 2018. Drilling will focus both on extensions of mineralization and some infill drilling. The Nasigon corridor, where surface follow up of geochemical and geophysical anomalies has already begun, is expected to see over 2,000 meters of initial drilling starting as of July. The objective of the current surface work on Nasigon is to identify new mineralized targets on surface based on previous geochemical surveys and the recently completed induced polarization survey, then follow up by trenching and channel sampling prior to final selection of initial drilling targets.

As quoted in the press release, president and chief executive officer of Kintavar, Kiril Mugerman said:

“After an exciting discovery of the stratiform copper mineralization in the January 2018 drilling program, we are delighted to finally go back to drilling on the Mitchi project. This should be a very active summer program for us and we expect to start seeing some assay results towards the end of July.”
