TORTUE

Diamond drilling and trenching were completed on a gold geochemical anomaly over 6 km in length. Gold values on 1 - 2 g/t over widths of 15 - 20 m were obtained in sedimentary rock. In the eastern portion of the property, quartz tourmaline zones rich in gold over thicknesses of several meters were intersected by surface trenching. Trenching, diamond drilling and metallurgy were planned for 1998. Between 1976 and 1994, several exploration programs were carried out including soil geochemistry, deep augering, trenching (6,268 m in 37 trenches) and diamond drilling (3,264 m in 30 holes).
