RNC Minerals (TSX: RNX) (“RNC”) is pleased to announce that Orford Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ORM) (55% owned by RNC) has received the outstanding base metal assay results from the summer 2017 drilling and prospecting program on its 100% controlled Qiqavik Project in northern Quebec. Results show that high-grade copper is associated with the gold mineralization intersected in drilling at the Esperance West Zone and previously reported in RNC’s news release of October 30, 2017.
As quoted in the press release:
David Christie, President and CEO of Orford, commented, “We are very encouraged by these new results, which highlight the polymetallic nature of the western portion of the Qiqavik trend. At current prices, these new copper results more than double the gold equivalent grades of the mineralization intersected in these holes at Esperance West, yielding gold equivalents of up to 6.1g/t over 7m core length. These results further support the tremendous potential of this new gold belt located in a previously unexplored region of Canada.”
