Murgor trenching returns 10.40 g/t gold over 4.30 meters at the Fancamp Gold
Property in northwestern Quebec
KINGSTON, ON,
The program was carried-out in August of 2009 and consisted of five large trenches which uncovered a wide, NE-trending, gold-bearing deformation corridor believed to be the Fancamp Deformation Zone or a possible subsidiary structure. Two of the trenches returned high-grade gold mineralization over mineable widths.
The Northeast Trench uncovered two parallel, NE-trending gold-bearing structures, located 15 meters apart, and traced for over 35 meters along strike. The West Structure is a new discovery whereas the East Structure uncovered the south extension of a previously known gold occurrence where channel sampling had previously returned assays of up to 9.3 g/t Au over 8.2 meters. The South Trench exposed a similar structure located 325 meters to the SW and on strike with the Northeast Trench.
Channel samples were collected across the general trend of the shear zone or across the fold hinges and returned the following values:
West Structure: - 10.40 g/t Au over 4.30 meters - 5.21 g/t Au over 5.60 meters - 18.03 g/t Au over 1.60 meters - 5.75 g/t Au over 0.90 meters East Structure: - 6.69 g/t Au over 1.40 meters - 13.05 g/t Au over 0.80 meters South Trench: - 18.90 g/t Au over 1.00 meters - 7.67 g/t Au over 1.00 meters - 5.71 g/t Au over 0.98 meters
The gold mineralization is hosted in NE-trending, high-strain zones that have been folded within the deformation corridor. Higher gold grades are typically encountered within the hinges of the folds. Gold occurs in foliation-parallel quartz-carbonate veins with visible gold. Gold also occurs in the pyritic wallrocks of the veins.
"It is the first time the folds have been mapped and recognized as an important structural control to the gold mineralization in the area." said André Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources. "This new understanding will help us to better target our future exploration. In fact, a detailed interpretation of a ground magnetic survey data has already identified a number of similar targets on the property."
Murgor is embarking on a follow-up exploration program immediately at Fancamp. A detailed helicopter-borne magnetic/VLF survey was completed last week and follow-up exploration work will include a reinterpretation of the magnetic data to confirm the new targets on the property and may lead to additional mechanical trenching and a diamond drilling program.
About the Fancamp Property:
The 100% Murgor owned Fancamp property covers 43 claims (1,712 ha) located approximately 55 kilometers south of the town of Chibougamau in northwestern Québec.
The property covers a six kilometer strike length of the Fancamp Deformation zone which is host to the Chevrier Gold deposit (1.
In the mid-80's, trenching, diamond drilling and limited underground development by Murgor yielded results such as: 10.6 g/t Au over 12.2 meters channel sample, 9.3 g/t Au over 8.2 meters channel sample and 4.60 g/t Au over 3.05 meters drill core.
Murgor returned to the Fancamp Property in 2004 after a 16 year exploration hiatus, following a change in management.
