MURGOR WORKS TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF A 60 oz/t GOLD BOULDER AT ITS NEWLY
ACQUIRED WACONICHI GOLD PROPERTY, NORTH OF CHIBOUGAMAU, QUEBEC
KINGSTON, ON, Nov. 11 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (MGR: TSX-V) is pleased to announce its acquisition of the Waconichi Gold Property, Quebec. The property was acquired through staking and consists of 283 claims covering 15,615 hectares, located 10 kilometers northwest of the of the Town of Chibougamau, north-western Quebec. The property is easily accessible by new all-weather logging roads.
The property was acquired to covers a large and prospective EW-trending shear zone north of the location where a glacial erratic boulder assaying 2,052 g/t gold (60 oz/t gold) is described; the source of which has never been located. A glacial erratic boulder is a piece of rock that was carried by glacial ice over variable distances from its source in bedrock. The description of this erratic bloulder at the Waconichi property suggests a proximal source. The erratic boulder was discovered in 1983 and is described as a dark chert with visible gold (no dimensions are given).
The EW-trending shear zone juxtaposes Archean Temiskaming-type clastic sediments with the Archean meta-volcanic rocks of the Chibougamau Mining District. Also associated with this shear zone are syn-volcanic intrusions, mafic and ultramafic sills. Despite very limited exploration in the area, the property is host to numerous gold occurrences, including grab samples of 6.50 /t Au, 6.09 g/t Au, 3.94 g/t Au, 2.6 g/t Au and 2.4 g/t Au. Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property as they represent an early-stage exploration procedure. They are, however, indicative that gold mineralizing processes have been active on the property.
"This is a very favourable and under-explored area of the Abitibi Belt, adjacent to the prolific Chibougamau mining district." said André Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources. "The acquisition is part of Murgor's long term strategy of acquiring and exploring high-potential grassroots gold properties while developing its advanced projects such as the Golden Arrow gold mine in the Timmins area of Ontario."
Earlier this month, Murgor completed a high resolution helicopter-borne VTEM geophysical survey over the property to locate the potential gold-bearing structures. Over the next few months, and up to the summer of 2011, Murgor intends to conduct a comprehensive study of the glacial geology along with systematic till, boulder and lake sediment sampling in an effort to locate the source of this gold-rich erratic boulder.
