Petrolympic Enters Agreement to Acquire 100% Interest in the Belcourt Gold Property, Near Val d’Or, Quebec
May 11 2021 - 7:00AM
Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX.V:PCQ) (OTC:PCQRF) (the “Company”) is pleased
to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement to
acquire a gold property located 40 km north of the town of
Val-d’Or, a major gold mining centre in Northwestern Quebec (the
“Property”). The Property consists of 125 map-designated claims in
4 blocks (Belcourt North, South, Central and West blocks), all
proximal to one another and covering a total of 5,479 hectares
(54.79 km2, 13,539 acres) in the Barraute, Carpentier, Courville
and Fiedmont townships in the Abitibi region. The Property is
accessible year-round via Route 397 and a network of secondary
roads and trails.
The purchase price will be satisfied through the
payment of $15,000.00, the issuance of an aggregate of 1,050,000
common shares of the Company over 2 years, and issuance of warrants
to purchase 350,000 common shares of the Company at a price to be
determined. The Vendor will also receive a 2.0% NSR (net smelter
returns) royalty from all future commercial mineral production on
the Property, of which 1.0% can be bought back for $1m at any
time.
The issuance of the common shares and the
warrants under the transaction shall be subject to applicable
securities laws, any securities regulatory authority having
jurisdiction, and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Completion of the acquisition remains subject to approval by the
TSX Venture Exchange.
The Property is located in the midst of several
other large mineral properties such as Monarch Mining, Eldorado
Gold, Pershimex Resources, etc. It lies within the Amos-Barraute
Volcanic Rock Belt, in the South-central part of the Abitibi
Greenstone Belt. Several porphyritic sills are of economic
importance in the region, such as the Pershing Manitou, Rolartic
and Bigtown porphyries and sills that host appreciable amounts of
gold. Several faults and shear zones have also been reported and
interpreted in that general area.
Several promising leads have already been
identified within the limits of the Property. In the Belcourt South
block for example, reconnaissance-scale drilling by Placer Dome in
1989 has identified gold mineralisation in the form of
sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate veins with intervals including
9.12 g/t Au over 0.20 metres (DDH 295-3), 11.42 g/t over 0.37
metres (DDH 295-5), 6.96 g/t Au over 2.17 metres (DDH 295-4), and
30.00 g/t Au over 0.44 metres (DDH 295-7). These, along with other
gold-bearing drill hole intercepts, indicate the existence of a
gold-bearing system with a good discovery potential. Several
Induced Polarization (“IP”), electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies
that have also been identified and later confirmed with a soil
geochemical survey remain to be tested.
Furthermore, the Property is located within a
very favourable metallogenic environment hosting several
gold-mineralised structures, mineralised occurrences and mines
within a few kilometres of the Property limits and include the
following:
- Abcourt-Barvue
mine with measured and indicated reserves of 8,085,998 tonnes
grading 55.38 g/t Ag and 3.06% Zn (2014).
- North American
Lithium mine with 20.5 million tonnes grading 0,93% Li2O, with an
additional 39.3 million tonnes grading 1.04% Li2O classified as
indicated reserves (2010) and 18.4 million tonnes grading 1.06%
Li2O classified as inferred resources (2017).
- McKenzie Break
deposit with a non-NI 43-101-compliant 0.42 million tonnes grading
6.27 g/t Au and 0.32 million tonnes at 5.7 g/t Au classified as
inferred resources (2018).
- Bartec (Ontex)
deposit with reserves of 113,400 tonnes grading 7.9 g/t Au (MERNQ
SIGEOM, 1987).
- Belfort-Roymont
deposit with indicated reserves of 66,625 tonnes grading 19.22 g/t
Ag, 5.71% Zn, 0.18% Cu and 1.05 g/t Au (2013).
- Vendôme No 1
(Mogador) deposit with reserves of 559,506 tonnes grading 1.18 g/t
Au, 62.18 g/t Ag, 0.52% Cu and 8.11% Zn and 116,048 tonnes grading
4.55% Zn, 0.49% Cu, 0.73 g/t Au, 40.78 g/t Ag classified as
inferred resources (2013).
- Tri-Cor showing
(103.6 g/t Au over 1.83 metres in a drill hole);
- Val d’Or Mining
Corporation and Golden Valley Mines (which channel samples grading
up to 10.95 g/t Au over 5.5 metres).

The Company is currently preparing an
exploration programme to develop this newly acquired property, that
will capitalize on the most recent and more efficient geophysical
methods to better outline the targets already identified and to
generate new prospects, in the stimulating context of an active and
competitive neighbourhood.
