Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX:YRB.A) announced that the second hole of a drill program at its Scott Lake project in Quebec intersected zinc-rich massive sulphides which could represent a new massive sulphide lens outside of the current mineral resource.
Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX:YRB.A) announced that the second hole of a drill program at its Scott Lake project in Quebec intersected zinc-rich massive sulphides which could represent a new massive sulphide lens outside of the current mineral resource.
As quoted in the press release:
The overall mineralized interval consists of volcanogenic massive sulphides cut by a few metric mafic dykes which may contain remobilized sulphides. As it is the first and only hole on this zone, the shape and true width cannot be determined with certainty. The core lengths obtained may not reflect the true width of the mineralization.
Prior to drilling SC-53W4, the Company first started the program by drilling SC-53W3 and hit mostly low grade stringer sulphides about 80 metres below the SC-53W4. Interestingly however, these stringer sulphides include highly anomalous gold values over a 49 metre interval as shown below:
Gérald Riverin, president of Yorbeau Resources, commented:
We are very excited about this new massive sulphide zone at Scott because it occurs in a strategically located “gap” in the drilling coverage and in the known Scott mineral resources, and also because borehole geophysics suggests that SC-53W4 only hit the edge of a large conductor. Although this is still only the first hole in this new zone, we believe it represents yet another milestone in our objective of increasing mineral resources at Scott Lake. We are looking forward to further testing this new lens and to developing other targets as well.
