The 2018 diamond drilling program was designed to evaluate the resource potential of the recently discovered mineralization system, referred to as the Renard Zone, located immediately north of the previously known Liam and Dan zones.

 

Craig MacDougall, Senior Vice President, Exploration for IAMGOLD, stated: “The 2018 drilling program continues to deliver positive results, and as previously reported, continues to intersect wide zones of alteration and associated mineralization. These results are being incorporated to develop a preliminary deposit model and guide future drilling campaigns to support the completion of an initial resource estimate.”

Guy Morissette, CEO of Vanstar stated: “We are very pleased with these very promising results. This vast gold system remains open lateraly and at depth. This allows us to believe that we may be in the presence of a significant gold deposit”

About the Nelligan Project

The Nelligan Project is held under an earn-in option to joint venture agreement with Vanstar. IAMGOLD holds an undivided 51% interest in the property, and holds an option to earn a further 24% undivided interest in exchange for cash payments totaling C$2,750,000 to Vanstar and the delivery of an NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate Technical Report before March 2022. Once vested to an undivided 75% interest, IAMGOLD will have a further option to acquire an additional interest of 5%, to hold an 80% interest in the Nelligan project by completing and delivering a Feasibility Study. Vanstar would then retain a 20% undivided non-contributory carried interest until the commencement of commercial production, after which: (1) the 20% undivided interest becomes participating; and (2) Vanstar will pay its attributable portion of the total development and construction costs to the commencement of commercial production from 80% of its share of any ongoing distributions from the Joint Venture. Vanstar will also retain a 1% NSR royalty on selected claims of the project.

Notes :

 

  1. True width of the intersections are 70 to 94 % of the core width.
  2. Drill hole Intersections are calculated according to a grade cut of 0,50 g Au/t and can contain widths up to 5 metres of weaker values. They are generally reported for minimum values of 5 g*m (metal factor).
  3. The assays are not caped, but the sub-widths of higher grade are highlighted.
