EGR Exploration Receives Drill Permit for the Detour West Property
Vancouver, BC, February 20, 2024 – EGR Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V:EGR) (“EGR” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company’s application for a permit to
conduct drilling at the Detour West Property has been approved by the Ontario Ministry
of Mines. This permit allows EGR to drill for the potential westward extensions of the
Detour-Fenelon Gold Trend onto EGR’s Detour West Property from the adjacent Detour
Lake Mine Property owned by Agnico Eagle.
EGR received approval for one hundred and twenty three Reverse Circulation (RC) drill
holes planned to test approximately 30 kilometres of interpreted structural corridors. Drill
holes are planned along 16 fences of approximately 400 metre-spaced holes with 1 to
2.5 kilometres between fences. Interpretation of all the geological and magnetic
geophysical data identified five areas of interest that are the target of the proposed
program. The objective of the program is to identify gold-in-till (gold dispersal trains)
that may vector to mineralized portions of interpreted shear structures and to collect top
of bedrock lithological data. This will build an accurate geological map in proximity to the
interpreted east-west trending shear structures that potentially represent the extension
of the Detour-Fenelon Trend.
Daniel Rodriguez, CEO and Director, comments, “This is the next step in our plan to
make a gold discovery on the Detour West property. With permits in place, we are ready
to execute a plan to prove the westward extension of the Detour-Fenelon Trend and the
Sunday Lake Deformation Zone. Our team interprets geological features and east-west
structures similar to our neighbours. We want to now test this and demonstrate the
productive extension of the trend.”
The technical information contained in this news release has been approved by Brian
Atkinson, P.Geo. who is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101,
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
