Troubadour Resources posts drill results from Senneville gold-silver-copper property, Quebec
Troubadour Resources Inc. [TSXV: TR; OTC: TROUF; WKN: TROUF] has recently completed the Phase 1 drill holes of the multi-phase drill program and reported assay results from seven drill holes at its Senneville gold-silver-copper property located approximately 25 km northeast of the Val-d’Or gold mining district, Québec.
Results from these seven drill holes, despite intercepting highly mineralized intervals, did not show any significant gold, copper or silver mineralization in any of the holes and failed to show the continuity to the mineralization discovered southeastwards.
While these results are disappointing, they provide crucial geological data that allows the company to direct the findings to orient the exploration program in this area and focus resources on other areas where it believes the geological potential is stronger.
The company is going to give this matter due serious consideration outlining the next steps as below Working on interpretations to understand why these holes did not intersect similar mineralization to the west and northwest.
Initiating a re-interpretation of geophysical surveys through conducting a detailed structural data analysis to locate potential offsets or missed zones of structural hosting system.
Working on proposing more surface exploration like soil or till sampling surveys to identify new surface anomalies that could lead to new drill targets.
Designing ground geophysical IP surveys to identify in order to identify chargeability anomalies that might represent mineralized structures for pinpointing drill targets in future drilling campaign.
Utilizing the obtained assay results to narrow down the target area, eliminating barren zones to refine future drilling through reducing the scope to focus on a “high-priority, drill-ready target” elsewhere on the property.
Prioritizing other favorable high potential target zones like Vert Lake, Val Saint George, Contact, Golden Island Fault and Millieu Lake Batholite and defining other target areas for advancing exploration program.
Drilling was focused on the east side of the Gustav Cere showing stepping out up to approximately 500 metres based on the data obtained from the recently completed induced polarization (IP) surveys. The main concept of the drill plan was to test the continuity of the identified mineralization horizon along the contact of the Senneville Komatiite as well as to test possible parallel horizons along the hanging wall. Seven drill holes totalling approximately 1,000 metres were drilled focusing on near surface targets.
Troubadour Resources is focused on the development of quality critical mineral and precious metal properties that are drill-ready with high-upside and expansion potential.
