Mont Royal Resources Limited (ASX:MRZ) is due to commence its maiden fieldwork programme at the company’s recently acquired Tarku property, located on the Upper Eastmain Greenstone Belt Quebec, Canada.
The company has engaged TMC Geophysics to undertake the Ground EM survey which is due to commence in early February 2022, and is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete, weather permitting.
Preliminary results are expected in March/April 2022 and IOS Services will be arranging all the required logistics, which include accommodation and helicopter support.
Direct detecting of the massive sulphides through electromagnetic (EM) geophysical techniques is a conventional exploration approach for targeting the Cu-Pb-Zn volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) type deposits and is one of the priority techniques for Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides exploration.
The company aims to replicate the recent exploration success of Benz Mining Limited that used EM anomalies to target sulphide hosted gold mineralisation, and lead to discovery of the Eastmain mine.
Numerous other gold prospects have also proven this technique as a tried and tested approach for gold exploration in the Archean greenstone belts.
Mont Royal plans to use EM geophysics, which is applicable for different commodities (base metals, polymetallic deposits, nickel sulphides and gold) and mineralisation styles, as a basis of the company’s exploration strategy in the Upper Eastmain greenstone belt.
The company anticipates that this approach will deliver a clear pathway to discovery with drill targets to be generated by the survey.
The Tarku property is the eastern extension of the Eastmain project (BNZ.ASX), and is characterised by similar tectonics and stratigraphy, with gold mineralisation exposed on a surface along the faults, representing the splays of the major trusts .
Notably, so far the best Au assays at the Tarku property were obtained from the samples collected from the Colline du Chateau Fort gold occurrence, which is exposed on the surface in vicinity to the southern thrust zone.
The zone is also known as the Ruby Hills corridor, as it runs through the Ruby Hill property of the Benz Mining Limited (BNZ:ASX) and extends to the Tarku segment of the greenstone belt.
