QUEBEC CITY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stelmine Canada (“Stelmine”) (TSXV: STH) is pleased to announce the results of its 14-hole, 2,237 m inaugural drilling program in Zones 1 and 4 at its wholly-owned Courcy property in the Caniapiscau mining district in northeastern Quebec. Zone 1 results show the presence of visible gold (VG) in the three holes, STHCOU-001, 002, 003 section of 2.86 g/t Au at 10.0 m. 2.79 g/t Au at 4.5 m When 2.28 g/t Au at 2.20 m, respectively (Table 1 and Figure 1). A drilling campaign extended this zone of shallow slope and low depth to the east by 300 m.

Stelmine President and CEO Isabelle Proulx asserts: 3.”

Drilling logs and analytical data show association of gold with pyrite+pyrrhotite-rich garnet amphibolites and quartz veins associated with the 21 km-long major flexed Couteau thrust fault (Fig. 1).Assay from hole STHCOU-004, 006, 007 When 009 (original: 2.11 g/t at 2.00 m, 1.64 g/t Au at 1.7 m When 0.79 g/t Au at 7.5 m) indicating the continuation of mineralization along the fault 400 meters to the south. The Southern Zone (Zone 4) was also targeted by two exploration drill holes, but was of little gold value. However, past exploration campaigns in Zone 4 have suggested the potential for gold mineralization based on high gold values associated with quartz veins and tightly folded structures at the interface of metasedimentary and volcanic rocks. gender was emphasized. Zone 4 will be re-explored to find new gold potential.

Curcy is a vast site of over 85km²The first drilling program only explored an area of just 1 km.² Section of the Eastern Sector. Exploration campaigns conducted from 2017 to 2020 highlighted several other gold targets, notably a 1 km long structure along the Couteau Fault 7 km southwest of Zone 1, and a strong terrestrial Physical anomalies and significant gold and arsenic values were revealed (zone 3). At least six other targets have been identified, with geophysical anomaly associations and sampling results across the property. We plan to survey these potential sites using specific high-resolution geophysical techniques such as IP/resistivity and drone MAG surveys. This leads to the second stage of excavation.

QA/QC protocol

Stelmine has implemented a rigorous QA/QC protocol when processing all rock samples collected from the Courcy property. The protocol included insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference substances, in this case certified gold standards at high and low concentrations, blanks, and replicates to verify the accuracy and precision of the assay results. All rock samples collected were placed in heavy-duty plastic bags, tagged, and sealed on site under the supervision of geologists-in-training. The sample bags were then placed in rice bags, stored securely in field tents, and then shipped to Wabush City by floatplane. Transportation to the Actlabs laboratory in Ancaster, Ontario was by truck from a reputable shipping company. Gold was analyzed by combustion assay (1A2_ICP_50 g) or INAA+ICP_OES (1H) method. Other trace element concentrations were obtained by the 1H method.
