PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
YORBEAU INITIATES DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAMS IN TWO BASE AND PRECIOUS
METAL PROJECTS.
Montréal, February 9, 2017 - Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is
pleased to announce that two drill rigs are currently in operation respectively at its Caribou and Beschefer
projects in northwestern Quebec. The two projects are respectively in the Casa Berardi and Detour Lake
belt, where an important increase in exploration activity has taken place in the recent months (Figure 1).
The Caribou project is located in Northwestern Quebec approximately 95km NE of the town of La Sarre
and is easily acces sible via public roads and a forestry road that provides access to the former Estrades
mine. The current drilling is taking place along the western extension of the Estrades mine where
exploration work carried by Cogitore led to the discovery of a new mass ive sulphide deposit in February
2009. Six holes have intersected a thin but high grade massive sulphide lens (sheet) and the weighted
average of the six holes drilled to date is 3.3% Cu, 6.5% Zn, 1.7 g/t Au and 66.1 g/t Ag over a core length
of 1.5 metres. The planned drilling involves 2,500 metres focused on geophysical anomalies (conductors)
in the vicinity of the known deposit, with the aim of finding increased thicknesses.
The Beschefer property is located in northwestern Quebec, approximately 140 NE of the town of La Sarre
and 190 kilometres west of Matagami. The property is easily accessible via public and forestry road s that
provide access to the former Selbaie Mine located approximately 10 kilometres to the northwest.
Significantly, the property is located immediately to the east of the B -26 deposit on which SOQUEM
published mineral resources in 2016 with a Technical Report in compliance with NI 43 -101 regulations.
The B-26 deposit consists of polymetallic mineralizatio n containing copper, zinc, gold and silver, with
mineral resources of 6.78 Mt at 1. 1% Cu and 0.5% Zn in the indicated category, and 3.99 Mt at 1.6% Cu
and 0.8% Zn in the inferred categor y. The felsic rocks that host the B -26 mineralization have been
identified and traced across Yorbeau’s Beschefer property, and the planned drilling program consists of
3,350 metres in 8 holes testing geophysical anomalies (conductors) located generally along the eastern
extension of the B-26 deposit and felsic host rocks package.
Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Gérald Riverin, PhD, P. Geo.
He is a qualified person (as defined by NI 43-101) and has reviewed and approved the content of this
release.

and Augmitto, have substantial underground infrastructure and have been the subject of NI 43 -101
technical reports that include resource estimates. The Company recently announced signing a n Option
Agreement with an affiliate of Kinross Gold Corporation to pursue exploration on the Rouyn Property
(see press release dated October 25, 2016) . In 2015, the Company expanded its exploration property
portfolio by acquiring strategic base metal properties in prospective areas of the Abitibi Belt of Quebec

and Ontario that also feature infrastructure favou rable for mining development. The newly acquired base
metal properties include Scott Lake which hosts important mineral resources. The Company also owns
the Beschefer project immediately adjacent to SOQUEM’s B -26 deposit and where, regionally,
exploration interest has been increasing.
