Exciting Advancements in Gold Exploration
MONTREAL — Harfang Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: HAR) and SOQUEM Inc. have unveiled promising high-grade gold results from an innovative exploration program at the Menarik West Property. This partnership reflects a commitment to expanding the gold footprint in this geologically rich area.
Key Highlights of Recent Findings
The recent exploration efforts at Menarik West have illustrated significant advancements. The mineralized footprint has expanded due to high-grade gold results from grab samples collected at the Cox Zone, showcasing values like 19.2 g/t Au, 7.4 g/t Au, and 3.9 g/t Au. A new prospective zone has emerged, delineating a 250-metre-long mineralized shear corridor at the Cox Zone that potentially extends towards the Bing showing.
Continued Growth of Mineralized Zones
Rick Breger, President and CEO of Harfang, expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing discoveries, noting, "Menarik West continues to deliver meaningful advancement with every phase of work. These latest results undeniably expand the broader mineralized footprint of the property. The Cox Zone has become an attractive satellite zone with a new classification of mineralization previously unidentified in this area. We are eager to progress toward focused targeting into the future.”
Overview of the Fall Exploration Program
At the onset of the exploration campaign, the Companies undertook a comprehensive four-day surface program at Menarik West. This program, fully funded by SOQUEM, served as a follow-up to newly announced discoveries of high-potential intrusion-hosted and vein-type gold mineralization.
Impactful Sample Outcomes
In total, 72 samples were analyzed, leading to eleven samples exceeding 1.0 g/t Au. The results from the Cox Zone stand out, highlighting an ENE-oriented mineralized corridor featuring gold concentrations steeped within a rusty, folded oxide iron formation, enriched with disseminated pyrite and deformed quartz veins. Notably, this corridor remains open along strike, showcasing further exploration potential.
Future Targeting and Actions
Moving forward, Harfang and SOQUEM are committed to developing a detailed lithostructural and alteration model to identify priority drilling targets within the mineralized regions. The partnership's ongoing efforts to advance towards targeted explorations represent a promising phase for both companies.
