Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX:YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is pleased to report the final results from its 2017 winter drill program on its 100% owned Caribou project in Quebec. A drill program consisting of 5 drill holes totalling 3,477m has been completed with the objective of testing geophysical anomalies located 300m west of the known deposit and filling an important undrilled gap within the Caribou massive sulfides lens. Specifically, there was a 280m gap located between CAR-18 (0.9% Cu, 13.5% Zn, 0.6 g/t Au, 41 g/t Ag over 0.4m) and CAR-31 (0.4% Cu, 5.8% Zn. 0.3 g/t Au, 18 g/t Ag over 4.1m) which were drilled in 2010 and 2013 respectively (see attached Figure 1). Two holes were drilled in this gap, CAR-31W (wedge cut drilled from original hole CAR-31) and CAR-30 (deepening of CAR-30 drilled in 2013), and both intersected massive sulfides.
As quoted in the press release:

At the depth of the mineralized zone in CAR-30E, the dip of the hole was at 48 degrees and the horizontal thickness of the mineralization therefore represents 70% of the core length. The three holes that were drilled to test geophysical anomalies to the west of the Caribou deposit (CAR-34, CAR-34W and CAR-35) failed to return significant mineralization and the conductors were explained by pyrrhotite.
