Intersects 296 g/t Au Over 2.0m In Quebec
Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) has received promising new analytical results from the ongoing drill programme at its 100% owned Windfall gold project located in the Abitibi greenstone belt, Urban Township, Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec.
CEO, John Burzynski, said the significant new analytical results include 56 intercepts in 23 drill holes (seven from surface, 16 from underground) and 12 wedges.
The infill intercepts are located inside the recently defined mineral resource estimate (MRE) blocks, while the expansion intercepts are located outside the MRE blocks and either expand resource wireframes or are located in a defined zone or corridor but do not yet correlate to a specific wireframe.
“We are encouraged by the expansion drilling in the Lynx and Triple Lynx areas. Today’s 37 expansion intercepts in these corridors are a good indication of the continuing potential in these zones,” Mr Burzynski said.
Selected high-grade intercepts include: 296 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in OSK-W-21-2436-W3; 177 g/t Au over 2.1 metres in OSK-W-21-2436-W2, 54.2 g/t Au over 4.5 metres in WST-21-0675, 63.7 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in WST-21-0744, and 48.2 g/t Au over 2.0 metres in OSK-W-20-2426.
The Windfall gold deposit is located between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau in the Abitibi region of Québec, Canada. The mineral resource comprises 521,000 tonnes at 11.3 g/t Au (189,000 ounces) in the measured mineral resource category, 5,502,000 tonnes at 9.4 g/t Au (1,668,000 ounces) in the indicated mineral resource category and 16,401,000 tonnes at 8.0 g/t Au (4,244,000 ounces) in the inferred mineral resource category.
The deposit remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralisation has been identified at surface in some areas and as deep as 2,625m in others with significant potential to extend mineralisation down-plunge and at depth.
