Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. called Chibougamau reported the results of the deepest drill hole completed upon the C-3 copper/gold zone located on Bateman Bay Mine property in McKenzie Township, Quebec, approximately 8 km east of the Town of Chibougamau. Hole BJ-20-27 was drilled to undercut previous Hole BJ-19-18 which at a vertical depth of approximately 450 m intersected 7.70% Cu, 3.58 g/t Au, 33.25 g/t Ag and 0.031% Co over a core length of 9.20 metres. Assays above are core lengths and not true widths which are thought to be 50% of the core length. Assaying was by Laboratoire Expert Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. One additional shallow hole, BJ-20-28, was drilled to delimit the southern side of the C-3 zone at a vertical depth of 255 m. The hole did not intersect copper-gold values. Recent drilling in conjunction with 3D modeling has led to the conclusion that the C-3 zone strikes close to north-south rather than northwest–southeast as all the other orebodies within the main Chibougamau Mining Camp. This along with the projection of the C-3 zone under Lac aux Dorés makes achieving perpendicular intersections impossible unless drilled from the lake on stable ice conditions or from a barge in the summer. Poor ice conditions this year have prevented drilling from the lake and resulted in more oblique intersections than desired. Chibougamau Independent Mines is currently drilling hole BJ-20-29 to probe for the northern edge of the C-3 zone at a depth of approximately 400 metres, 75 meters north of hole BJ-19-21 which returned 15.68 metres grading 3.06% Cu, 2.96 g/t Au, 13.04 g/t Ag and 0.023% Co. Next, the drill will test an induced polarization anomaly on land northeast of the C-3 zone.
