Geomega Resources Inc. announces the start of a 3,000 meters diamond drilling program on its Anik gold project. The initial campaign will include drilling of the gold showings (Orbi, Mirador and Bobby) discovered last summer during field works as well as testing other satellite targets outlined following geophysical and geochemical surveys.
The Anik project is located 40 km south of the town of Chapais, in Québec and consists of 151 mining claims covering an area of approximately 8,452 hectares. Anik benefits from a permanent access, public infrastructure and experienced workforce in the immediate vicinity.
The area exhibits strong potential for gold-bearing mineralization with the Joe Mann mine (4.75 Mt at 8.26 g/t Au), Phillibert (1.4 Mt at 5.3 g/t Au) and Lake Meston (1.2 Mt at 6.25 g/t Au) deposits and several new gold discoveries made by Iamgold/TomaGold (at Monster Lake), Vanstar (at Nelligan) and Bold Ventures/Northern Superior (at Surprise Lake) within a few kilometers of the property.
"All preparatory work is completed. Geophysical and geochemical anomalies obtained from recent surveys, twined with the gold showings helped define several drill targets. The initial campaign is most encouraging with the quality of these targets." commented Alain Cayer, Vice-president Exploration of GéoMégA.
