Eastmain's Lac Lessard Project: Drilling High-Priority VTEM Targets for Ni-Cu-PGMs
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/13/15 -- Eastmain Resources Inc. (TSX: ER) announces that a 1,500- to 2,500-metre drill program, funded by Darnley Bay Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: DBL), is underway to test approximately 10 very highly prospective VTEM geophysical targets coinciding with the Crete-du-Coq ultramafic intrusion. This ultramafic intrusion is located within Eastmain's Lac Lessard Project in the region of James Bay, Quebec, approximately 10 kms east of the newly constructed Route 167 North - infrastructure built as part of the provincial government's Quebec Nord initiative.
Highlights
In November 2014, Eastmain granted Darnley Bay Resources ("DBL") the right to earn a 50% interest in the Lac Lessard Project in exchange for $2.5M in work expenditures, 1.6 M common shares of DBL and cash payments of $200,000. The first-year work commitment includes $500,000 in work expenditures and cash payments of $50,000, with the project to be managed by Eastmain.
In December 2013, Aeroquest completed an airborne geophysical survey (613 line-kilometres of VTEM and magnetics) covering the Crete-du-Coq ultramafic intrusion on Eastmain's behalf. A number of isolated VTEM anomalies (electromagnetic conductors), interpreted as potentially disseminated to massive nickel-copper-PGM (Platinum Group Metal) mineralization, were detected on the Lac Lessard property.
Prospecting and geological targeting, completed by Eastmain during the 2014 field campaign, confirmed that several very-highly conductive airborne anomalies associated with Crete-du-Coq ultramafic intrusion contained disseminated sulphides, with elevated nickel-copper-PGM values (News Release Oct 1, 2014).
