Sama Resources Quebec Completed a 609 line-km UAV Magnetic-Radiometric Survey at the Lac Brule Nickel-Copper Project in the Province of Quebec and launches a 1,444 line-km HELITEM2 Survey.

(TheNewswire)

 

  Highlights:  

•  

    - High density of strong magnetic anomalies that are interpreted as the signatures of mafic and ultramafic formations.  

   

    - The newly discovered gossan zone is situated in close proximity to these anomalies, emphasizing the favorable environment for base metals mineralization.  

   

    - A HELITEM   2   survey to identify massive sulfide mineralization and covering the entire property is due to start before the end of the year.  

   
 

  Montréal, Quebec –   TheNewswire -   November 02, 2021 – Sama Resource Inc ("Sama" or the "Company") (TSXV:SME   )   |   (   OTC:SAMMF)   is pleased to report   that   Sama Resources Québec Inc. ("SRQ") a fully own subsidiary of the Company has announced the completion and interpretation of an   unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)   magnetic and radiometric survey of 609 line-kilometres (line-km) over the core of the new Lac Brulé nickel-copper property and including the gossan discovered in May 2021 (ref: PR 2021-06-16).   (   Gossans are highly ferruginous rock which is the product of the oxidation by weathering and leaching of a sulfide body: Elsevier Mineral Exploration 2013   ).  

  As   a   part   of   the   ongoing   exploration   program,   SRQ   commissioned   Helios   UAV   to   complete   a   high-resolution   magnetic   and   radiometric   survey   over   the   Lac   Brûlé   Property,   lo   cated   290   km   north-west of Montreal, Quebec province, Canada and easily accessible by roads.   The   UAV   survey   took   place   from   July   14   through   August   3,   2021 and   included   the   acquisition   of   609   line-km   of   magnetic   data   and   of   335   line-km   of   radiometric   data.   Interpretation was performed by M. Joel Simard,   P. Geol./Geoph   based in St-Donat, Quebec province, Canada.  

  No   historical prospecting or ground exploration   had   been   reported from the   Lac   Brulé   area   prior   to   SRQ.   However,   Government   regional   magnetic   and   gravity   maps   covering   the   area,   as   part   of   coverage of the entire   Quebec   province   ,   as   well   as   data   from   stream   and   lake   sediment   sampling   programs   covering   the   entire   province,   are   available   on   the   SIGEOM   website.  

  The   past-producing   Renzi   nickel-copper   mine   is   the   closest   mining   activity   with   historical   information   available.   The   Renzi   mine   is   located   48   km   east-southeast   of   the   Lac   Brulé   property.   The Company is targeting possible accumulations of Ni and Cu mineralisation at   Lac   Brulé   that could be of similar nature to that at the Renzy mine and at other well-known Ni-Cu deposits in Québec and Labrador.  

   Geophysical Program   

  The UAV magnetic survey covered the east-central part of the Lac Brulé property with north-south oriented lines at 100 m spacing (see Figure 1) for a total of 609-line km. The aim was to use the survey to assist with structural and geological mapping, and in particular to delineate the mafic/ultramafic units that host mineralisation at the gossan.

  The survey maps show a high density of strong magnetic anomalies that are interpreted as the signature of mafic and ultramafic formations. The gossan zone is situated in the vicinity of these anomalies, emphasizing the favourable environment for base metals mineralization.  

  The   discovery   zone,   where   the   gossans   have   been   identified,   is   situated   in   the   vicinity   of   strong   magnetic   anomalies in   the   south-central part   of   the   block that was flown (Figures 2 & 3).   This   gossan zone lies   along   a   localized   northwest   to   north-northwest   trending   discontinuity   (fault)   where   the   magnetic   units   appear   locally   demagnetized.   Demagnetization   is   potentially   indicative   of   alteration   caused   by the   upwelling   of   hydrothermal   fluids   along   the   fault.   This structural control may   emphasize   other   favorable   locations   to   search   for   precious   and   base   metals   mineralization (Figure 4).  

  The   delineation   of   linear   discontinuities   over   the   survey   area   was   achieved by   using   a   program   from the   Centre   for   Exploration   Targeting   (CET),   a   joint   initiative   between   Curtin   University   and   the   University   of   Western   Australia   (Figure 5)   .   The CET method enhances discontinuities within aeromagnetic datasets that usually correspond with, and can reveal, lithological boundaries, faults, and dykes/intrusions critical to understanding the geology of an area.

  Figure 3:   Using   the   tilt   derivative   filter,   the   positive   magnetic   anomalies   were   delineated   regardless   of   their   relative   amplitude   .   In   the   survey   area,   the   calculated   depths   range   from   sub-outcropping   to   slightly   more   than   1500   m,   with   a   mean   value   of   60 m.

  Figure 4:   The main magnetic anomalies are linked to relatively broad bands of rocks that are 50 m wide and can reach up to 300 m in apparent thickness (top).   The gossan zone is observed on a localized low magnetic feature which seems to coincide with the trace of a northwest to north-northwest striking fault causing local demagnetization of the host mafic and ultramafic units (bottom).
