DRILLING UNDERWAY AT THE DUVAY-CHENIER GOLD PROJECT, QUEBEC
Tres-Or Resources Ltd. and Secova Metals Corp. have started phase 1 drilling at the Duvay-Chenier gold project, located 15 kilometres
northeast of Amos, and 65 km north of Val d'Or, Que.
Drilling company Forage Herbert Inc. of Amos, Que., has a B-20 tracked drill rig on-site and
drilling ahead. The first drill hole targeted a strong induced polarization chargeability anomaly 400 metres northeast of the
main Duvay shear zone. The second drill hole is targeting the same chargeability anomaly to test the
extent of the sulphide mineralization with depth. Phase 1 drilling comprises 3,500 metres of drilling
targeting the high-priority Duvay zone principal, and extending northwest along the main Duvay shear
and additional targets extending 3.5 km northwest toward Lake Obalski.
Concurrent with the Phase 1 drilling, Tres-Or is prospecting, mapping and sampling additional targets
within the property. The Duvay-Chenier property covers nearly 8,000 hectares of contiguous claims
about 65 km north of one of Canada's largest gold mines, the Canadian Malartic mine. The
prospecting, mapping and field inspection are designed to better define the most promising new targets
for a second phase of drilling.
Pioneer Aerial Surveys Ltd. completed flying seven distinct survey blocks over these priority targeted
areas. The high-resolution UAV-MAGTM survey was completed in July and consisted of 662 tightly
spaced line kilometres in seven survey blocks covering priority areas of the property requiring more
detailed magnetic data. The survey measured the total magnetic intensity (TMI) with GPS readings at
every 0.1 second (one metre) using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The plotted total magnetic values
were corrected for diurnal variations using readings taken every six seconds by a synchronized local
base station. Line spacing was 20 m with 150 m spaced tie lines. Final results are being processed and
the companies are confident that further, previously untested areas on the Duvay-Chenier claims will
provide priority drilling targets for a phase 2 drill program.
Tres-Or has optioned the Duvay-Chenier property to Secova to earn an undivided 65-per-cent interest in the
Duvay-Chenier gold project by paying Tres-Or the sum of $500,000 (received), and incurring
$3.25-million in exploration expenses over a three-year period. Secova is committed to expend
$750,000 in exploration expenditures by the end of September, 2017, which commitment will be
satisfied on completion of the work detailed herein. Tres-Or is the operator and provides logistical,
technical and geologic services, and reporting.
