Khalkos Exploration has announced that a preliminary prospecting campaign was completed at its new Nanuq copper-gold-silver property, which is situated 40 km towards the southern part of Salluit in Quebec.
The company has discovered several carbonate-quartz veinlet-vein or vein systems present in shear zones, within boulders or outcrops. It observed copper minerals like local azurite, malachite, chalcopyrite, and native copper in majority of the veins. The mineralised zones are open over a strike length of a few metres, or irregularly over a few metres, with thickness that varies from less than one to a few metres.
Khalkos compiled about 150 rock samples on the Nanuq property and these samples will be assayed this week at Val-d'Or. According to the company’s geologists, the property has the potential to contain more gold, even though it is expected that some samples may contain good grades of copper.
Khalkos’ President, Dominique Doucet, took part in the field work conducted at the property. The Nanuq property is located on the high copper grades that occur in the lake sediments, which were identified by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Fauna of Quebec (MRNFQ) through a huge sampling survey carried out near 3,000 lakes enclosing the complete area of Ungava. The company directly purchased the 276 claims that form the Nanuq property.
