Gespeg Identifies 18 Priority Targets and Permits 2,000 Metre Drill Program at the Lac Arsenault Gold Project
December 15 2020 - 7:45AM
GESPEG RESOURCES LTD. (TSX-V:GCR) (the
“
Company” or
“Gespeg”) , is
pleased to announce that the recently completed induced
polarization survey (the “
IP Survey”) identified
several well-defined chargeability anomalies on its Lac Arsenault
gold project. The IP Survey was one of the exploration tools
deployed on the Lac Arsenault gold project since September of 2020
(see previous press releases).
The highlights from the IP Survey include:
- 18 Priority 1 and 2 polarized axes are concentrated in an area
of 500 by 450 m
- Known mineralized zones are spatially associated with axes of
medium to high chargeability.
- The known deformation corridors are spatially associated with
chargeability axes
- The polarized axes are open to the north-east, south-west and
at depth of the grid
The IP Survey, carried out by Géophysique TMC
and interpreted by Joël Dubé, P. Eng for Dynamic Discovery
Geoscience, totaled 13 km line, on a grid 1.3 km long by 450 m wide
with lines spaced at 50 m. The dipole-dipole configuration,
measurements every 25 m (n = 1 to 10) for a detailed survey up to
80 m deep. The Baker, Mersereau and southern veins of L4W respond
very well to chargeability (see map) but less so on Marleau vein.
In absolute value, the chargeability responses are weak, but very
well contrasted compared to the host of sedimentary rocks (see
map).

Sylvain Laberge President and CEO remarks “This
is a major development for the project, the amalgamation of the
work carried out in recent months shows a definite potential for
the property. Conceptualization of the model via mapping, multiple
NNS structures interpreted via the HR mag survey and now the IP
Survey which reinforces the hypothesis of lateral and depth
continuity of the known mineralized zones of Baker, Mersereau,
Marleau and L4W."
All the data collected justifies a 2,000m
drilling program, which has been successfully permitted the program
by the Company. Gespeg is currently selecting its drilling and
support services contractors for the drilling program, which is
expected to begin in early 2021.
About Lac Arsenault Project:
The property is located along the Grand Pabos fault, in the
south-eastern part of the Gaspé Peninsula. Its immediate
environment reveals a series of superficial magnetic anomalies,
drained by the Grand Pabos fault from a mass buried at great depth.
The research, carried out in 2014 by the Consorem,
concludes that the intersection of the geochemical targets
(favorable rocks) and of the geophysical analysis with the analysis
of the streams sediments make it possible to identify several very
favorable zones for deposits of the porphyry type (skarns) and the
“Reduced Intrusion-Related” type Gold Systems ”(RIRGS) along the
Grand Pabos fault. The mineralization observed and interpreted as
mesothermal gold veins placed in secondary deformation corridors at
the Grand Pabos fault, could originate in the environment of these
types of deposit.
