Details on the Starter
Pit Results
Results presented for the Springer Mine area cover the Starter Pit area and include results from the
Mill Zone, the Gap Area, and the area south of the Vein #3 as shown on the map and selected
sections. Some of these intersections are exceptional, such as hole 220, which cut 2 zones over
76
m
core length starting at
80m
that assayed 1.5% copper and 0.16 gpt gold over
19m
followed by
0.97% copper and 0.26 gpt gold over
35m
. Hole 223 cut
33m
of 0.59% copper and 0.18 gpt gold
starting at
27m
and hole 226 cut
40m
of 1.03% copper and 0.5 gpt gold. Finally, nearby hole 227
intersected
22.5m
of 0.45% copper and 0.35 gpt gold; these last three highlight the expected high
gold grades near the Gwillim Fault, which forms the southern limit of the Opemiska Deposit.
Details on the Saddle Zone Results
Another exceptional intersection was encountered on the Saddle Zone, where a
110m
of variably
mineralized gabbro returned 0.46% copper and 0.07 gpt gold over
55.5m
starting at
147m
, followed
by 0.78% copper and 0.14 gpt gold over
22.5m
.
QP Statement
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by
Charles Beaudry
, P.Geo and géo., Director and Vice President Exploration for QC Copper & Gold,
a Qualified Person, as defined in "National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects." For the exploration undertaken by QC Copper & Gold, all assay batches are
accompanied by rigorous Quality Assurance procedures, including the insertion of standards and
blanks and verification assays in a secondary laboratory. All the core received from the drill is split in
half, bagged and sent to ALS-Global facilities in Quevillon,
Quebec
for sample preparation and then
the pulps are shipped to AlS-Global's
Vancouver
laboratory or some other location in the world for
analysis using ALS-Global's standardized ISO-compliant methods, all of which are listed in the
laboratory certificates provided with the assay results. The remaining half core along with the rejects
and the pulps returned from the laboratory are securely stored at QC Copper's facilities in
Chapais,
Quebec
. Quality Control results, including the laboratory's control samples, are evaluated
immediately on reception of batch results and corrections are implemented immediately if necessary.
All drill collars are surveyed and positioned in UTM coordinates. Collars are oriented using a
gyroscopic north-finding system and downhole deviations surveys are done with a single-shot
gyroscopic instrument at 30 to
50m
intervals. For veins oriented approximately east-west and
dipping towards the north, and drill holes oriented due south and plunging between 50 and 65 dips,
the true width of mineralized intersections are equal or greater than 80% of the quoted core length
composite intervals. This observation also holds for veins oriented northwest-southeast and dipping
towards the northeast with holes drilled towards the southwest at 225 degrees with dips between 50
and 65 degrees. However, for other drill hole orientations relative to these veins or other less
common vein orientations, the true widths of mineralized intersections are less.
