Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX-V:SUP, OTCQX:NSUPF) said assay results from recent drilling at its Philibert gold project in Québec have strategically linked mineralization in two areas that lacked data to fill in gaps in its resource model.
The company reported assay results from drilling in the 300-metre (m) gap between the Artic Fox and Fennec Fox zones and the 200-m gap within the Corsac Trend.
Highlights included DDH PB-23-439, which returned 2.93 grams per ton (g/t) gold over 16.3 m from 186.4 to 202.7 m, including 6.46 g/t gold over 5.5 metres from the Gap Zone; and DDH PB-23-441, which returned 1.30 g/t gold over 35.2 m from 65 to 100.2 metres, including 5.44 g/t gold over 4 m and including, 8.35 g/t gold over 1.5 m from the gap at the Corsac Fox Zone.
Northern Superior CEO Simon Marcotte said linking mineralization along strike, especially at the Gap Zone, and being able to treat the entire 3-kilometre trend as one resource should have very positive repercussions on the project’s economics.
“We can now envision a potential larger, more continuous open pit operation for all zones, which should also facilitate eventual operational access to the higher-grade mineralization at depth,” Marcotte said in a statement.
“As we eagerly anticipate the impending completion of the mineral resource estimate, we believe it will not only establish Philibert as a pillar within the camp but also propel the Chibougamau Gold Camp to become a globally recognized tier-1 asset."
Northern Superior Resources is a gold exploration company focused on the Chibougamau Camp in Québec, Canada.
