InvestmentPitch Media Video Discusses Orford Mining’s Discovery of Two New Quartz Vein Systems and a new copper showing on its Qiqavik gold property in Northern Quebec
September 01 2023 - 6:00AM
Orford Mining Corporation (TSXV:ORM) has discovered two new quartz
vein systems and a new copper showing on its Qiqavik gold property.
The Qiqavik gold property, West Raglan and the company’s lithium
exploration projects comprise a land package totaling more than
111,000 hectares in the Cape Smith Belt of Northern Quebec.

The Qiqavik gold property (100% interest) hosts
high-grade gold occurrences at surface, in multiple project areas,
across its more than 40 km breadth. Orford completed drilling on
both the new Gerfaut East and Central Intrusive quartz vein gold
systems and channel sampling on the copper showing and awaits assay
results.
The 2023 work focused on drilling, geophysics, and
prospecting on the Gerfaut East, Central, Annick and Eric project
areas of the belt. In total 34 Rotary Air Blast holes were drilled
for a total of 2,435 meters and 32 line-km of ground IP surveys
were completed. Orford is waiting for results from 88% of the 2620
samples taken from drilling and the 233 surface samples
collected.
The newly discovered Gerfaut East
vein system, found within a NNE-trending structure that can be
traced for over 400m along strike, is comprised of a series of
sulfide-bearing quartz veins outcropping up to 15 m in length
containing galena, chalcopyrite and pyrite. This structural
corridor hosts gold-bearing quartz veins cutting a felsic
intrusive, with assays received to date from surface grab samples
returning up to 32.3 g/t Au. Six RAB drillholes were also completed
which intersected quartz veins within the top 50m of drilling, with
assays pending.
The newly discovered Central
Intrusive vein system is defined by a series of
subparallel E-W shears with ankerite alteration and sulfide veins
up to 2 cm in width containing galena, pyrite and arsenopyrite in
local granodiorite boulders. Grab samples of quartz veins
previously collected in nearby areas reported up to 30.8 g/t Au.
Three holes intersected altered granodiorite containing minor
sulfides. Again, grab sample and drilling assay results are
pending.
The Esperance area hosts a trend
of copper and gold mineralization over 4 km in length hosted in a
basalt shear zone. In 2023, prospecting and mapping identified a
new zone of semi-massive sulphide with up to 5% chalcopyrite hosted
in a sheared basalt. The new mineralization outcrops
discontinuously over 10 m by 25 m and occurs 200 m to the south of
the main Esperance trend and may represent a secondary parallel
mineralized zone. Four channel samples were collected totalling a
5.0 metre width of the exposed mineralization with assays pending.
Airborne EM conductors suggest the mineralization may extend to the
east for 250m.
David Christie, President and CEO, commented: “The
expertise of our field crews has been rewarded with new gold and
copper discoveries on the vastly underexplored Qiqavik property.
The ability of our team to continue to make new discoveries
illustrates the high prospectivity of the Qiqavik property and how
underexplored it remains.”
The West Raglan Project hosts a number of
high-grade Raglan-style nickel/copper/platinum group metal
discoveries along a 55 km mineralized trend. In early 2023 Orford
acquired large claim blocks targeting lithium in the Nunavik
Region. These lithium claim blocks have been carefully selected as
having promising lithium potential after an exhaustive compilation
of available data. Orford also has four property positions in the
Joutel region of the Abitibi District of Northern Quebec, which
hosts historical deposits such as the Eagle/Telbel, Joutel Copper,
Poirier Copper, and Vezza deposits. Orford continually seeks new
gold exploration opportunities in North America.
The shares are trading at $0.12. For more
