Current and future drilling program
Drill No. 1 (current):
- Sector 15-0-01 and 15-E-01 -- drilling the extension of these stopes at
depth toward level 15 of the mine.
Drill No. 1 (planned):
-
Sector 6-H-14 -- drilling upper section of this stope toward surface to
better define the current resource;
- Sector 15-0-04 -- exploration drilling to assess the potential of this
sector below the old stope 14-0-04;
-
Sector 6-H-12 up -- exploration drilling to increase the resource
following the high grade obtained above the stope being developed.
Drill No. 2 (current):
-
Sector 8-H-06 -- drilling to assess the potential to the west below the
stope 6-H-04 presently being mined.
Drill No. 2 (planned):
- Sector 6-B-06 and 8-B06 -- exploration drilling to assess the potential in
this sector of the B vein.
Drill No. 3 (current):
-
Sector 12-H-10 -- exploration drilling to increase the resource below
stope 10-H-10 currently being developed; the company plans to drill below level 12
of the mine following the positive results obtained in this drill
program; this sector is open at depth.
Metanor estimates that the mineralized intercepts' true thicknesses reach 60 per cent to 65 per cent of the drill cores. A capping of 31 grams per tonne was used, or one gold ounce. The company uses a rigorous, industry-standard, quality assurance/quality control program. The samples were assayed by fire assay at the Metanor assay lab. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. The quality control program of the assay results adopted by Metanor includes a minimum of 10 per cent of controlled assays being conducted, as well as verification by an independent ALS-certified assay laboratory in Val d'Or, Que. Results of the spot checks were consistent with those reported.
