INTACT GOLD COMPLETES DRILLING CAMPAIGN ON THE BELLETERRE PROJECT IN QUEBEC

 

Vancouver, BC - Intact Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ITG) (FSE: 1A5) (the “Company” or “Intact Gold”), announces the completion of drilling on the Belleterre Gold Project in western Quebec.

 

The drill program consisted of 957m in 12 holes. The program was designed to test continuity and follow up on promising results from exploration programs by previous operators. The first three holes targeted previously untested northeast-trending gold-in-soil anomalies coincident with conductors and magnetic anomalies. The next eight holes tested the extension of a gold-bearing structure drilled in 2010-2011 by Exploration Aurtois. Two shafts were sunk on this structure in the 1940’s and the area remains open along strike.  The last hole was designed to step out 1996 and 1999 drilling which intersected gold-bearing quartz veins along a northeast-trending structure.

 

Samples have been delivered to a laboratory in Val d’Or and are awaiting analysis. Results will be released once they are available.

 

 

About the Belleterre Project

 

The Project comprises 42 claims previously referred to as the Belleterre Extrême-Est, Guillet, and Ortona blocks covering an area of approximately 1,700 hectares. The Project covers part of a greenstone belt measuring 50 kilometres by 10 kilometres and is located fewer than two kilometres from the past producing Belleterre Mine. Previous work on the Project dates back to 1934 and consists of 567 drill holes totalling 65,800m and a bulk sample taken in 2005/2006 from the Lake Expanse gold zone, which returned 11,539 tonnes of 3.28 grams per tonne gold (Thebérge 2014).

 

In 2007, an estimate of Mineral Resources was produced in the same area of the bulk sample and results were as follows*:

-          Measured: 19,487 tonnes of 2.16 g/t Au

-          Indicated: 301,463 tonnes of 2.66 g/t Au

-          Inferred: 76,570 tonnes of 2.31 g/t Au

* Details of the historic estimate are summarized from:

Kelly, D., Gagnon, Y., May 25 2007. Évaluation des Ressources, Projet Lake Expanse, Propriété Guillet Canton Guillet, prepared for Vantex Resources Ltd.

 

The assumptions and parameters used to estimate the Mineral Resources are described as follows:

-          The database used was comprised of diamond drill holes and channel samples.

-          Interpretations of a low grade and high grade zone were prepared on cross section and then transcribed to 5m spaced level plans.

-          Mineral resources were estimated using polygonal methods on 10 level plans for the upper 50m and on 6 NS sections below that.

-          A cut-off of 1 g/t Au and a minimum true thickness of 2.5 m was applied.

-          Sample grade was capped at 1 oz/t.

-          Grade was projected a maximum distance of 15 m from drill intersections

-          Tonnage and grades did not take into account external dilution, except from stockpiled material which was added to the in situ Mineral Resources.

-          The Mineral Resources were classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred.

o       Measured – from surface channel samples

o       Indicated – from drill hole samples

o       Inferred – not described

o       Stockpiled material was classified as Measured

 

The reader is cautioned that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current resources and Intact Gold is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
