Project Description
The property is host to a major polymetallic hydrothermal system Mo-Cu (Ag-Au-BI) discovered in 1997 into an Archean tonalitic complex. In 2008, nine diamond drill holes were completed totalling 1,160 metres allowing the testing of three geophysical targets as well as three surface showings. The best obtained grades come from the Spotty Moly showing : 0.05% Mo over 11 m one hole and a section of 25 m at 0.06% Cu including 0.1% Cu over 5 m in another hole. On the Tide showing, a drill hole yielded 0.04% Mo over 5 m and 0.1% Cu over 20 m. Another drill hole yielded 0.07% Mo over 85 m. These drill holes intersected chalcopyrite and molybdenite ( less than1%) mineralizations within altered granitic rocks located at the border of a kilometric potassic alteration zone interpreted as the core of a porphyry system. Grab rock samples grade up to 4.4% Mo, 6.4% Cu, 201 g/t Ag, 0.6 g/t Au, 0.22% Bi.

Fieldwork
Since June 2008, geological, geochemical and geophysical data processing was conducted by Mr. Baptiste Chapon through a Master's thesis at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM). The study was continued until 2010 on the spatial relationships between different intrusive lithologies based on spectrometric and magnetometric surveys as well as from sampling. Mr. Chapon submitted his master's thesis in summer 2011.
