Abitibi Greenstone Belt

iMetal Resources finished its 2025 Phase I drill program at the Gowganda West project, completing 2,640 m in six holes (exceeding the planned 2,500 m). The drilling targeted the 2023 discovery that intersected 48.5 m of 0.85 g/t Au, cutting through Indin Lake Group conglomerates, mafic/felsic dykes and alteration zones. Core samples have been sent to ALS Minerals Val D’Or for Au‑AA24 fire‑assay and selected multi‑element ICP testing, with a rigorous QA/QC protocol in place. Results are pending; positive assays could elevate the project toward a bulk‑tonnage resource amid strong gold prices.

Mines d’Or Orbec (BLUE) completed a 2,000+ meter drilling campaign at its Muus property in Quebec’s Abitibi Greenstone Belt, focusing on the Lac Bernard area. Drill holes intersected silicified and pyrite-bearing zones, geological indicators of gold mineralization. The property is near IAMGOLD’s Nelligan Deposit. The company awaits assay results in approximately 6 weeks. Additionally, Orbec granted stock options for 4,150,000 common shares at $0.06 per share, expiring July 11, 2030.
