Montreal, July 22, 2020 – Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (“QPM” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: CJC, OTCQB: CJCFF, FSE: YXEP) is pleased to report additional drill results at the La Pointe Extension discovery following the 7,448 m winter diamond drilling program on the 100% owned Sakami Project (the â€śProject”) in Quebec’s Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. A 7,000 m summer drilling campaign is scheduled to start in early August to better define the exploration potential of this discovery. Assaying is pending from 4 DDH completed at the La Pointe Extension.

Results recently received from winter drilling program continues to highlight gold mineralized system continuity and significant exploration potential to the SW of the La Pointe deposit (see Table  1 for complete results of the program). 

Normand Champigny CEO of QPM, stated: “Our exploration activities carried out since the creation of the Company in 2018 have resulted in the La Pointe Extension discovery and a high rate of successful drilling results.” 

The La Pointe deposit and new La Pointe Extension discovery are part of a larger 2- kilometre-long mineralized trend on the Project striking SSW-NNE (see Figures 1 and 2 and press releases of April 21, June 18 and June 23, 2020). This discovery has potential kilometre-scale extensions that have been subject to very limited surface exploration and no drilling.

The drilling results indicate that gold-bearing mineralization at the La Pointe Extension discovery and La Pointe have a similar geological character: hosted within a volcano-sedimentary sequence of the Yasinski Group (La Grande Subprovince) which is metamorphosed to amphibolite facies and strongly deformed by a regional WSW to ENE event. This sequence is in contact with sedimentary rocks of the Laguiche Group (Opinaca Subprovince) to the east. The lithologies are composed mainly of: 1) biotite-rich and silicified paragneiss with intrusions of granodiorite, tonalite and pegmatite, and 2) amphibolite (metamorphosed sedimentary iron formation and mafic volcanic rock). The gold mineralization is accompanied by disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite and cross-cutting quartz-carbonate veinlets.

The Project provides the Company with a controlling position over a 23-kilometre-long segment of a favourable geological contact and comprises of 259 claims (131.1 km2). It is located 570 km north of Val-d’Or, 120 km east of the municipality of Wemindji, 90 km from the ÉlĂ©onore gold mine and 47 km northeast of the paved James Bay Road. Good infrastructure is present including major access roads, a hydro-power grid and airports. Drilling can be carried out throughout the year.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

The drilling contract was awarded to Forage Val-d’Or Inc. based in Val d’Or, Quebec. The DDH diameter is NQW. Drilling took place from January 15 to March 24, 2020. Quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of the core samples. The drill core was logged and then split, with one-half sent for assay and the other retained in the core box as a witness sample. Duplicates, standards and blanks were inserted regularly into the sample stream. The samples were delivered, in secure tagged bags, directly to the ALS Minerals laboratory facility in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation.  All samples are analyzed by fire assay with AA finish on a 30 g sample (0.005-10 ppm Au), with a gravimetric finish for assays over 10 ppm  Au.

Qualified Persons

Normand Champigny, Eng., Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Jean-Sébastien Lavallée (OGQ #773), geologist, Vice-President Exploration, director and shareholder of the Company, both Qualified Persons under NI 43- 101 on standards of disclosure for mineral projects, have prepared and approved the technical content of this release.

Montreal, July 2, 2020 – Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (“QPM” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: CJC, OTCQB:  CJCFF, FSE: YXEP) is pleased to announce the start of the next phase of exploration on its 100%-owned Elmer East project located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Quebec. This next phase of work follows the magnetic heliborne survey carried out earlier this year (see press releases of January 28 and 30, 2020) and the evaluation of all available data at the regional scale with the participation of GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. (TSX.V : SPOT). This surface work will consist of follow-up prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling. This work will significantly improve the understanding of the gold exploration potential of the project.

The project consists of 929 claims (488 km2) and is located along trend from the recent Patwon prospect gold discovery made by Azimut Exploration Inc. It is to be noted that gold mineralization occurring at the Patwon prospect is not necessarily representative of mineralization that may be found on the Elmer East project. Access to the project is facilitated by the quality infrastructure of the James Bay region.

Quebec Precious Metals Corporation Resumes Exploration on the Sakami Project

   Download PDF   |   View documents on Sedar

MONTREAL, QC – June 23, 2020 – Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (“QPM” or the “Company”) (TSXV:CJC)(OTCQB:CJCFF)(FSE:YXEP) is pleased to announce that it is has resumed exploration activities on its 100%-owned Sakami project in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Quebec. The activities include a 7,000 m diamond drilling program in the area of the La Pointe Extension discovery using one drill rig. Drilling can be performed year-round (see press releases of January 14, April 21 and June 18, 2020).

The objective is to expand the La Pointe Extension discovery, which consists of several significant drill hole intersections, including 1.15 g/t Au over 80.1 metres. The recent drilling at the La Pointe Extension discovery indicates a gold mineralized system and significant exploration potential 2 km to the southwest of the La Pointe deposit. The drilling targets are defined by spatially correlated induced polarization (“IP”) and gold-arsenic soil geochemical anomalies as well as gold-bearing surface showings along a well-defined mineralized trend.

The activities during June comprise:

  • an IP survey to expand the known anomalies to the southwest;
  • capture of down-hole wall imaging data in selected drill holes to assist with the geological interpretation; and
  • a bathymetry survey near the shoreline of the La Pointe deposit area.

QPM has implemented a rigorous protocol to ensure the protection of all stakeholders in the region and in accordance with the INSPQ and CNESST guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s protocol has been communicated to and reviewed by the Cree Nation Government. QPM recognizes the excellent cooperation on the part of the Cree authorities to help with exploration programs during this challenging period. The Company concluded its winter program exploration programs on March 25, 2020, to respect the Government of Quebec’s decree in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quebec Precious Metals Drills 1.45 g/t Au over 35.4 m at La Pointe Extension Discovery

   Download PDF   |   View documents on Sedar

  • Results received from winter drilling program further underline gold mineralized system continuity and significant exploration potential to the SW of the La Pointe deposit
  • Additional drill results received recently from the winter drilling campaign include (see Table 1 for the complete results of the campaign):
    PT-20-153: 1.45 g/t Au over 35.5 m incl. 4.1 g/t Au over 3.65 m
    PT-20-154: 6.80 g/t Au over 2.74 m incl. 11.75 g/t Au over 1.5 m
  • Field logging and assaying are pending from 11 drill holes (“DDH”) completed

MONTREAL, QC – June 18, 2020 – Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (“QPM” or the “Company”) (TSXV:CJC)(OTCQB:CJCFF)(FSE:YXEP) is pleased to report additional drill results at the La Pointe Extension discovery following the winter diamond drilling program on the 100% owned Sakami Project (the “Project”) in Quebec’s Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. Significant additional drilling will be carried out this summer and fall to better define the exploration potential of this discovery. Field logging and assaying are pending from 5 DDH completed at the La Pointe Extension.

The La Pointe deposit and new La Pointe Extension discovery are part of a larger 2- kilometre-long mineralized trend on the Project striking SSW-NNE (see Figures 1 to 6). This discovery has potential kilometre-scale extensions that have been subject to very limited surface exploration and no drilling. Two high-grade surface grab samples (23.82 g/t Au, 9.52 g/t Au) located 700 m apart illustrate the potential of this area (see Figure 4).

The objective of the winter 7,448 m oriented-core drill program (see press release of April 21, 2020) was to expand the La Pointe deposit and the Simon new high-grade discovery.

The drilling results indicate that gold-bearing mineralization at the La Pointe Extension discovery and La Pointe have a similar geological character: hosted within a volcano-sedimentary sequence of the Yasinski Group (La Grande Subprovince) which is metamorphosed to amphibolite facies and strongly deformed by a regional WSW to ENE event. This sequence is in contact with sedimentary rocks of the Laguiche Group (Opinaca Subprovince) to the east. The lithologies are composed mainly of: 1) biotite-rich and silicified paragneiss with intrusions of granodiorite, tonalite and pegmatite, and 2) amphibolite (metamorphosed sedimentary iron formation and mafic volcanic rock). The gold mineralization is accompanied by disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite and cross-cutting quartz-carbonate veinlets.

The Simon area is located 3 km NE of the La Pointe deposit and has a similar geological setting to the La Pointe and La Pointe Extension. Highlights of the drill results include 0.90 g/t Au over 18.0 metres. The drill results will be evaluated to identify additional drill targets to be tested. Field logging and assaying are pending from 6 DDH completed (see Figures 7 to 9).

The Project provides the Company with a controlling position over a 23-kilometre-long segment of a favourable geological contact and comprises of 259 claims (131.1 km2). It is located 570 km north of Val d’Or, 120 km east of the municipality of Wemindji, 90 km from the ÉlĂ©onore gold mine and 47 km northeast of the paved James Bay Road. Good infrastructure is present including major access roads, a hydro-power grid and airports. Drilling can be carried out throughout the year.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

The drilling contract was awarded to Forage Val d’Or Inc. based in Val d’Or, Quebec. The DDH diameter is NQW. Drilling took place from January 15 to March 24, 2020. Quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of the core samples. The drill core was logged and then split, with one-half sent for assay and the other retained in the core box as a witness sample. Duplicates, standards and blanks were inserted regularly into the sample stream. The samples were delivered, in secure tagged bags, directly to the ALS Minerals laboratory facility in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation. All samples are analyzed by fire assay with AA finish on a 30 g sample (0.005-10 ppm Au), with a gravimetric finish for assays over 10 ppm Au.

Quebec Precious Metals announces La Pointe Extension discovery: 1.15 g/t Au over 80.1 m at Sakami project, extends deposit 2 km in step-out drilling

   Download PDF   |   View documents on Sedar

  • Results from step-out drilling indicate gold mineralized system continuity and significant exploration potential to the southwest of the La Pointe deposit
  • New drilling reported is 2 km of the current deposit, and remains open for further expansion
  • Select drill results (see Table 1) received from the winter drilling campaign include:

PT-20-139: 4.15 g/t Au over 3.5 m
PT-20-141: 1.04 g/t Au over 11.0 m
PT-20-145: 2.14 g/t Au over 6.5 m
PT-20-147: 2.79 g/t Au over 7.0 m
PT-20-148: 2.91 g/t Au over 7.6 m
PT-20-151: 1.15 g/t Au over 80.1 m incl. 2.21 g/t Au over 25 m (partial assays)

  • Results from Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey suggest further extension of the intercepts to the southwest 
  • Drilling on additional targets at the La Pointe deposit continues to suggest extension of mineralization in other areas
  • Assays are pending from 19 drill holes (“DDH”) completed and additional drilling is planned starting in June

Montreal, April 21, 2020 – Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (“QPM” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: CJC, OTCQB:  CJCFF, FSE: YXEP) is pleased to report the discovery of the La Pointe Extension following the winter diamond drilling program on the 100% owned Sakami Project (the  “Project”) in Quebec’s Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory. Significant additional drilling will be required to better define the exploration potential of this discovery. The La Pointe deposit and new La Pointe Extension discovery are part of a larger 13-kilometre-long mineralized trend on the Project striking SSW-NNE (see Figures 1 to 5).

Based on of the recently reported surface results (see press release of October 22, 2019), the objectives of the winter 7,448 m oriented-core drill program were to:

  • expand the La Pointe deposit and the Simon new high-grade discovery; and
  • test additional new targets across the mineralized trend that includes the Apple, PĂ©ninsule, JR and ĂŽle showings with gold mineralization detected in DDH, grab and trench samples.

Drilling is scheduled to start again in June. The Quebec governmental authorities, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has indicated that mineral exploration can resume in May 2020. The fully-funded continuation of the 25,000 m drilling program announced early this year is to be carried out with two drills already on site. The pending results from 19 DDH are summarized below:

La Pointe & 
La Pointe ExtensionSimon area
Assays pending5 DDH and 2 DDH with partial assays (1,658.1 m)10 DDH (1,526.2 m)
To be logged and assayed3 DDH (942 m)1 DDH (219 m)
Total8 DDH (2,600.1 m)11 DDH (1,745.2 m)

The drilling results indicate that gold-bearing mineralization at the La Pointe Extension discovery and La Pointe have a similar geological character: hosted within a volcano-sedimentary sequence of the Yasinski Group (La Grande Subprovince) which is metamorphosed to amphibolite facies and strongly deformed by a regional WSW to ENE event. This sequence is in contact with sedimentary rocks of the Laguiche Group (Opinaca Subprovince) to the east. The lithologies are composed mainly of: 1)  biotite-rich and silicified paragneiss with intrusions of granodiorite, tonalite and pegmatite, and 2) amphibolite (metamorphosed sedimentary iron formation and mafic volcanic rock). The gold mineralization is accompanied by disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite and cross-cutting quartz-carbonate veinlets.

Key observations from the winter drilling program are as follows:

  • Gold mineralization continues to be hosted in a silicified paragneiss horizon accompanied by pervasive silica and with varying amounts of arsenopyrite and pyrite. All DDH have intersected this horizon;
  • Native gold has been observed (see photo);
  • The preliminary interpretation of the La Pointe Extension discovery is based on the results of only three DDH (with partial results for PT-20-151), surface sampling and magnetic and IP surveys;
  • Mineralization has been recognized over an estimated length of 900 m (open to the NE and SW) with an apparent width in drilling ranging from 10 to 80 metres;
  • Mineralization is identified to a depth of 215 m, and remains open. True widths are estimated to range from 75% to 90% of the down-hole length;
  • The geological continuity between DDH intercepts will be better defined with further data analysis and additional drilling;
  • The La Pointe and La Pointe Extension, located in the central portion of the Project, has potential kilometre-scale strike that remain underexplored extensions; and
  • The Simon area with results that include 14.20 g/t Au over 2 m, 5.05 g/t Au over 5.06 m, and 4.66 g/t Au over 3.50 m demonstrates the potential of the Project. It is located 3 km NE and part of a larger 13-kilometre-long mineralized trend (see Figure 2).

An IP survey is planned over the La Pointe Extension area on a 2.5 km by 1.0 km grid (see Figure 4). It is anticipated that the results from the survey will augment the size of the area to be drill-tested.

Normand Champigny CEO of QPM, stated: “The discovery of the La Pointe Extension is the most significant development on the Project since the creation of the Company. We look forward to start drilling again and demonstrate the very significant exploration potential of the Project.”

The Project provides the Company with a controlling position over a 23-kilometre-long segment of a favourable geological contact and comprises of 259 claims (131.1 km2). It is located 570 km north of Val d’Or, 120 km east of the municipality of Wemindji, 90 km from the Éléonore gold mine and 47 km northeast of the paved James Bay Road. Good infrastructure is present including major access roads, a hydro-power grid and airports. Drilling can be carried out throughout the year.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

The drilling contract was awarded to Forage Val d’Or Inc. based in Val d’Or, Quebec. The DDH diameter is NQW. Drilling took place from January 15 to March 24, 2020. Quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of the core samples. The drill core was logged and then split, with one-half sent for assay and the other retained in the core box as a witness sample. Duplicates, standards and blanks were inserted regularly into the sample stream. The samples were delivered, in secure tagged bags, directly to the ALS Minerals laboratory facility in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation.  All samples are analyzed by fire assay with AA finish on a 30 g sample (0.005-10 ppm Au), with a gravimetric finish for assays over 10 ppm Au.

La Loutre and Lac des ĂŽles graphite projects – Amending agreement

The Company announces that pursuant to the option agreement between Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) and QPM, the agreement has been amended as follows:

  • Issuing to QPM within a period of five business days following the receipt of the required approval by the TSX Venture Exchange, 1,000,000 common shares of Lomiko; and
  • Funding additional exploration expenditures totalling $1,125,000 on the La Loutre project, the Lac des ĂŽles project and/or other designated properties as mutually agreed by Lomiko and QPM.

Notes:

  • All widths are drill indicated core length.
  • DDH are generally planned to intersect mineralization as close to perpendicular to strike as possible.
  • True widths are estimated to range from 75% to 90% of the down-hole length when DDH inclination and dip of the mineralized horizons are considered.
  • All gold values presented are not capped.

The Elmer East Project Punctuates the Growing Promise of James Bay (Part 2)

The Éléonore discovery in 2004, now a gold mine belonging to Newmont Corporation, triggered a significant staking rush and confirmed the potential of the area.

In part one of this two-part series, we discussed why James Bay is such an exciting region for exploration. In part two, we examine recent news from Quebec Precious Metals Corporation (QPM).

QPM is a gold explorer created in 2018 with the support of Newmont Corporation. The company is firmly on the path to finding the next ÉlĂ©onore gold mine in the highly prospective Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory, Quebec. 

Situated at a distance up to 1,500 m from the favourable contact between the Opinaca and La Grande geological subprovinces, QPM’s flagship project is the 100% owned Sakami project. The site shows significant grades and well-defined drill-ready targets and is rapidly advancing to an initial mineral resource estimate. The Sakami project contains the La Pointe gold deposit and is the subject of exploration campaigns. QPM is performing a fully funded 25,000 m drill program in 2020. The results of this drill program are pending

QPM has also completed a magnetic heliborne survey covering its 100% owned Elmer East project located along trend from the recently announced seven discovery holes by Azimut Exploration Inc. on the Patwon prospect at its Elmer project. Patwon can potentially be a multi-million-ounce discovery. Seven drill holes proving sizeable mineralization, well-correlated with extensive surface sampling, widely open along strike, widely open at depth, with significant widths at the surface. The results will help define the next exploration phase on the project to be carried out by QPM in 2020.

Sakami and Elmer East projects

These two projects are not only exciting for QPM but also punctuate the growing promise of the James Bay region.

With the execution of the most significant drill program at Sakami and surface work to be done at Elmer East and other James Bay gold projects, there will be substantial news flow throughout the year.

When it comes to where exploration drills are busily biting the rock, there is no need to look any further than the emerging region of James Bay.

The Elmer East Project Punctuates the Growing Promise of James Bay (Part 1)

The Abitibi Gold Belt is widely known for being Canada’s most prolific gold-producing region, with several of the world’s largest gold and base metal deposits. The area straddles the provinces of Ontario and Quebec and is a 450-kilometer long by 150 kilometers wide mineral-rich geological belt.

While Abitibi has received much attention-this established gold mining district has produced over 100 mines and 170 million ounces of gold from about 300 gold deposits since 1901–there is somewhat of a “new kid on the block.” 

When it comes to where exploration drills are busily biting the rock, there is no need to look any further than the emerging region of James Bay.

Growing Opportunity in James Bay

The James Bay region is about 600 km north of the Abitibi district. It’s most well-known for the ÉlĂ©onore gold discovery, which occurred just over a decade ago. It’s a large area of attractive geology with several unexplored or under-explored greenstone belts.

Exploring James Bay is similar to exploring the Abitibi greenstone belts a century ago.

Beyond the presence of such a important gold mine at Éléonore, James Bay, seen previously as too remote and expensive to attract significant exploration investment, is starting to benefit from from the Quebec government.

The Quebec government  has ambitious aims for the mining sector in the region and has led to significant improvements in infrastructure.

This includes:

  1. gather basic geological knowledge
  2. clean up and restore former exploration sites,
  3. communicate and promote discussions between all stakeholders, and
  4. support the development of diverse projects such as diamonds, apatite, ilmenite, graphite, and rare earths.

With the above goals in mind, “Investissement QuĂ©bec”, the investment arm of the Government of Quebec, has also taken equity stakes in mining companies, and other businesses, as part of the project. Hydro-QuĂ©bec is also contributing annually to the development of projects in the region.

An Attractive Mining Jurisdiction

In this day and age of heightened geopolitical tension, protectionism, and a host of other issues, the level of “jurisdictional risk” should impact any investor’s due diligence process. This thinking explains why companies that explore for gold in politically safer mining regions typically trade at a premium compared to those in riskier areas.

It is fair to say that Quebec is one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world when viewed through this lens. Historically, the provincial government has gone to great lengths to promote an investor-friendly environment. Beyond the ease in obtaining permits, the aforementioned high-quality infrastructure with year-round access is also desirable to mining companies, not to mention the province’s abundant supply of hydroelectricity, which gives it the cheapest electricity rates in North America.

As a result––since the early 2000′ s––Quebec has seen a significant and rapid increase in exploration expenditures. While Quebec has been good to the mining sector, the industry has played a substantial part in the growth and development of the province. Mining exploration and extraction contribute to Quebec’s economy and creates high paying employment in remote and rural areas. It also supports jobs in ore processing and contributes significantly to Quebec’s domestic exports.

As James Bay attracts more attention, it’s likely to continue this trend and contribute to the province north of the 49th parallel.
