TYPHOON EXPLORATION INC. ("Typhoon") resumes targets for the new drilling campaign on the Fayolle Property, located 35 km north-east of the city of Rouyn-Noranda, with a budget of approximately of $500,000.
Following recent fieldworks, the nature of the mineralized host rocks was better understood. The intrusive rock units and related alterations follow late orogenic faults which are oriented NW-SE and filled with polygenic sedimentary breccia possibly related to the Temiskaming Group sedimentations.
Inside these structures, the superimposition of different brecciation and carbonatization events, combined with intrusions proximity generated gold anomalous zones with values varying between 0.05 and 1.0 g/t Au. By contrast, controls and events that have generated multi-grams intersections clusters remain to be clarified.
Therefore, a drill program of approximately 4,500 meters distributed over 13 diamond drill holes (DDH) will be completed to verify:
- The Fayolle deposit down-dip extension with 5 DDHs (see Figure 1);
- The McDonald Showing down plunge extension with 5 DDHs (see Figure 2);
- The Cinco Showing quartz-albite-pyrite alteration zone developed in sediments with 3 DDHs (see Figure 3).

GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT
Exploration works on the Fayolle Project are conducted following cohabitation principles and meaningful engagement of the company toward local stakeholders.
Typhoon has initiated the continuous consultation and collaboration with citizens and public representatives early in the exploration process, facilitated by the opening of an office and coreshack in the Mont-Brun district. A close relationship has been built with the nearby Aiguebelle National Park and the City Hall (Regional Land Use Planning Department), located north of the Fayolle Project. The company considers that it is a priority to develop a close relationship with the Park and the City Hall based on mutual trust and supported by a continuous exchange of information with its administration. At the current exploration stage there are several collaborations underway with the Park, including a wildlife survey. Watershed quality monitoring will also be performed collaboratively as the project moves forward.
Typhoon is considered to be attuned, and in one concerns of opening, we are engaged to sustain the dialogue with the goal to optimize exploration and development works on our properties according to the needs of our living environment.
