Bullion Gold Resources Corp. (TSX-V: BGD) (“Bullion Gold”
or “the Company”) provides an update on its Bousquet
project, which is in the Rouyn-Noranda-Cadillac mining camp, in
Abitibi, Quebec.
Project Highlights
- Gold project consisting of 71 claims, 2,369 hectares located in
the center of the Abitibi mining camp, along the Cadillac-Larder
Lake fault over more than 8 km;
- Mineralized corridor containing 5 significant gold showings
over more than 3.4 km;
- Presence of visible gold in many historical and current
drillings;
- Planned program of 15,000 meters of drilling in 2022;
- Several magnetic targets to be tested by drilling;
- More than 100M ounces of gold produced in the CLL fault
environment.
Bousquet Project
Composed of 71 claims covering an area of
approximately 2,369 hectares, the Bousquet project, located in
the heart of the world-renowned Abitibi mining camps of
Rouyn-Noranda, Cadillac, and Val d'Or, runs along more than 8
kilometers of the very prolific gold-bearing Cadillac - Larder Lake
Fault (CLL). This fault, associated for more than a hundred years
with numerous gold deposits as well as hundreds of gold showings,
is regularly the subject of work by various junior or major mining
companies.
More than 100 million ounces of gold have been
produced to date in the immediate vicinity of the fault.
The Bousquet project, well anchored in this gold
environment, contains eight gold showings confirmed by drilling.
The main CB-1, Paquin East, Paquin West, Decoeur and Joannes
showings are located south of the CLL fault, along a sheared,
mineralized and silicified auriferous corridor of approximately 3.4
kilometers long varying from a few meters to more than 30 meters
wide which, according to historical and current data, contains
visible gold on a regular basis.
The Bouzan, Normar and 17932 showings are
located north of the CLL fault.
According to the data noted by the Company in the various
drilling reports, several historical results would have been
influenced downwards, mainly due to poor core recovery, sometimes
up to 30%, as well as a lack of analyzes in the potential gold
zones.
With more modern equipment and larger drill core in terms of
diameter, the Company management believes that core recovery will
be much more efficient. As a result, the drill results should be
more representative of the true grade and thickness of the
intersected gold zones.
The drilling program carried out in 2021 by the Company supports
that hypothesis well, having obtained an almost complete recovery
of the core during this work with significant gold results in the
zones tested.
“The Bousquet property is, in our opinion, one of the properties
located on the CLL fault offering the best gold potential in the
short and medium term. Little explored in the past, this project
contains several significant gold showings that are just waiting to
be investigated further. The 2022 program will focus on identifying
the potential of the Paquin zone as well as investigating part of
the northern sector of the property.” Commented Jonathan Hamel, CEO
of the Company.
Paquin East and West Zones (MERN: GM 07-13-A, GM
61411)
Most of the holes, varying in depth from 20
meters to approximately 300 vertical meters, drilled since the
early 1940s in the Paquin East and West zones have intersected
several sheared zones over approximately 1.3 kilometers EW
direction containing galena and gold.
The presence of visible gold was noted in more
than twenty historical holes excluding BO-21-08 which intersected
visible gold giving a grade of 16.96 g/t Au over 9 meters including
129 g /t Au over 1 meter.
Several high historical values are associated with this gold
corridor. The Paquin showings consist of bluish quartz veinlets and
veins within shear zones mineralized in pyrite and arsenopyrite
containing free gold, galena, and chalcopyrite.
Decoeur Zone (MERN: GM 0713-A, GM
61411)
The Decoeur zone, nearly 1 km long, is located
SW in continuity with the Paquin zones in a shear system like these
two showings. According to the historical data, there is a set of
sheared zones containing significant silicification consisting of
bluish quartz veins and veinlets mineralized in pyrite and
arsenopyrite. Historical drill core recovery has also been very low
in this area.
Gold and silver are generally found in these
sheared zones varying from a few meters to more than 35 meters in
thickness. Fewer than twenty-five holes have been drilled on this
showing since its discovery in the 1940s.
Joannès Zone (MERN: GM 00735-B)
Located SW of the Decoeur zone, this gold
showing recognized by drilling over nearly 500 meters long was
historically tested by about twenty drillings in the 1940s. Again,
the recovery of the core was relatively low in several holes.
Visible gold has also been detected there in some drilling. These
holes have been little analyzed in the past.
CB-1 Zone (MERN: GM 39079)
The Calder-Bousquet 1 zone (CB-1) is located
approximately 700 meters NNE of the Paquin East zone. Very few
holes have been drilled on that showing. The presence of gold has
been detected there in a few holes in what appears to be a gold
system like the other showings located to the SW.
The other gold showings are located north of the
fault, but they have not been the subject of intensive work in the
past.
Magnetic anomalies
In the NE part of the property, following a
high-precision magnetic survey carried out in 2021, the Company
detected several magnetic anomalies presenting prime targets.
Several magnetic lows located in contact with magnetic highs could
be caused by the presence of silicified mineralized zones favorable
to the deposition of gold.
The vast majority of the Bousquet property
located north of the CLL fault has hardly ever been the subject of
exploration work in the past, which offers the Company a large
choice of potential exploration targets for the future.
2022 Exploration Program
For the 2022 period, the Company's management
intends to complete a drilling program of approximately 15,000
meters in three specific phases. The Company has obtained part of
its drilling permits and is waiting to obtain another group of
permits representing a total of forty holes to be drilled in the
Paquin East zone and in the NE portion of the property.
A first phase of about 3,000 meters should begin
shortly. These holes will aim to verify the Paquin zone near the
surface as well as certain historical data. The second phase of
drilling of approximately 5,000 meters will aim to test the depth
extension of that same zone as well as to verify the eastern
extension.
The last phase of drilling will test the
continuity at depth of that same gold zone at a depth of more than
500 vertical meters. During this same phase, the Company also plans
to test various magnetic targets located in the northeast sector of
the property.
All the results obtained and compiled with the
historical data will eventually be used to establish an initial
43-101 quality estimate of the gold resource in the Paquin East
zone.
