Generic Gold Hires Laurentia Exploration and Begins
Compilation and Data Review on Belvais Project, Quebec
Toronto, Canada – August 6, 2020 - Generic Gold Corp. (“Generic Gold” or the “Company”) (CSE: GGC,
FRA: 1WD) is pleased to announce that it has initiated a contract with Laurentia Exploration Inc. to manage
its exploration work on the recently acquired Belvais Project (“Belvais” or the “Project”) located near the
town of Normé tal, Quebec , ad jacent to Amex Exploration Inc.’s (TSXV: AMX) flagship Perron Project .
Laurentia Exploration is a full service exploration provider that has been involved in the discovery of
multiple gold and base metal discoveries, largely in Quebec . Laurentia is led by a dynamic group of
geoscientists with expertise in orog enic gold and VMS mineralization systems. Laurentia has particular
experience in the Belvais area, having been neighbouring Amex Exploration’s sole geological service
provider and project manager since November of 2018.
Laurentia will complete a comprehensive review of all existing government and past exploration data on
the Belvais project in order to plan and prepare for an inaugural exploration program in the fall of this
year. The Belvais project is divided into three separate properties, as shown in figure 1, namely the East,
Centre, and West block. Each of the three properties are situated proximal to the roughly east-southeast
trending Normétal fault and the regional Chicobi deformation zone.
The West block, covering 2,136 hectares, is contiguous with and on-trend to Amex Exploration’s Perron
gold project, who has made numerous high -grade discoveries, and it contiguous to the past- producing
Normétal mine, which operated from the 1930’s through to 1975 from surface to a depth of 2.4 km. It is
underlain by stratified felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks of the Norm étal South formation, as well as
sediments of the Chicobi group.
The Centre block, comprising 2,905 hectares, covers approximately 12 km of the Normétal fault and the
associated Normétal mine horizon, which is the host rock to the past-producing Normétal VMS mine. The
Centre block is also host to a significant number of electromagnetic anomalies, compiled by the
government of Quebec and available on the SIGEOM geological system.
The East block, covering 3,110 hectares, covers the eastern extension of the Norm étal fault, and is
contiguous with claims held by Osisko Metals. Of particular interest is a package of claims approximately
2 km from the East block that was recently acquired by IAMGold Corporation. The East block is underlain
by mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks as well as a portion of the neoarchean Val-St-Gilles pluton.
Historically, many exploration companies have completed small campaigns on the Belvais project,
including airborne geophysics, ground geophysics, diamond drilling, geological mapping, prospecting, and
soil sampling. In addition, the region was the subject of a PhD thesis entitled “ RECONSTRUCTION D’UN
ENVIRONNEMENT DE SULFURES MASSIFS VOLCANOGÈNES DÉFORMÉ: EXEMPLE ARCHÉEN DE NORMÉTAL,
ABITIBI.” completed by Ben oit Lafrance, 2003. All of the available information will be compiled by
Laurentia in 2 and 3D in order to define an exploration program for the Belvais Project.
