Petrolympic Launches Exciting Drilling Campaign in Quebec
Petrolympic Starts New Drilling Initiative in Vauquelin Property
TORONTO – Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX.V: PCQ) (OTC: PCQRF) is thrilled to unveil a new drilling program focused on the Vauquelin-Rayon d’Or Property. This expansive property spans 2,129 hectares across 37 mining claims, strategically situated about 30 kilometers east of Val-d’Or, a hub of renowned mineral activity in the mining industry.
Exploration Highlights of the Rayon d’Or Gold Zone
The Rayon d’Or gold zone has shown considerable potential in previous drilling activities, particularly on the northwest side of Gueguen Lake. The mineralization found here includes various forms such as disseminations and veins rich in sulfides like pyrite and pyrrhotite discovered within altered zones. Noteworthy intersections at shallow depths were marked by impressive values including 12.74 g/t Au over 3.96 meters in DDH 1 and 3.83 g/t Au over 3.08 meters in DDH 6W-C-5.
Recent Program and Results
In the previous year, Petrolympic further targeted the mineralized zones of Rayon d’Or, extending them roughly 100 meters toward the southeast. Significant drilling uncovered altered and fractured zones exceeding 20 meters in thickness, with mineral returns revealing values such as 0.62 g/t Au over 7.5 meters and 2.14 g/t Au over 9 meters, including a peak of 6.25 g/t Au over 3 meters.
New Findings Expand Exploration Opportunities
The team's efforts discovered even more promising mineralized structures, with an intersection of 5.48 g/t Au over 1 meter and additional values of 0.52 g/t Au over 3 meters located further southeast. The mineralized zone's footprint extends significantly, with another intersection yielding 0.52 g/t Au over 6 meters.
Future Steps in Drilling Campaign
For the upcoming drilling campaign in 2024, the goal is to delve deeper into priority targets identified through IP-Resistivity surveys. The strategy includes locating the lateral extensions of the known mineralized zones and uncovering new gold-bearing structures unveiled during the intense exploration phase in 2022 and 2023.
Geological Context and Competitive Landscape
The geological structures within the Vauquelin property exhibit remarkable similarity to those at the Chimo Mine owned by Cartier Resources, located within a 5-kilometer radius. This similarity supports a hopeful outlook for gold resource discoveries comparable to those successful at neighboring sites.
Regional Mining Developments and Prospects
Noteworthy developments in the region have been reported, including Probe Gold's notable increase in gold resources across east Val-d’Or properties, totaling over 6 million ounces of Measured and Indicated (M&I) resources. Additionally, Eldorado Gold Corporation has made moves to secure a significant interest in the Bruell gold project to the north of Vauquelin, further indicating the area's growing significance in the mining sector.
Commitment to Safe and Effective Exploration
Petrolympic stands firm in its dedication to responsible exploration, recognizing Quebec as a premier mining jurisdiction globally. The company, under the guidance of qualified professional André Tremblay, is committed to ethical practices in its exploration endeavors, ensuring the integration of community and environmental considerations.
