- 15,000 m drilling program in progress: 11 holes completed and a minimum of 5 holes remaining.
- Target areas include: north side of Main Vein and
Deep Main Vein Lens , south side of Main Vein following up on positive results from the 2020 drilling program (refer to news release datedSeptember 17, 2020 ), south side of Main Vein above the dyke, and a connection of the Main Vein below the dyke with the Deep Main Vein Lens (Figure 1 shows the approximate location of the drill hole intercepts on a long section of theCorner Bay deposit). - Testing another vein structure approximately 250 meters west of the Main Vein at a depth between 200 and 500 meters.
- Expecting an increase from current Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) with the 2020-21 drilling campaigns.
- MRE update at end of Q2 2021.
- Completed re-sampling of
Far West Zone and expecting results in Q2 2021. - Contracting an established geological consulting firm to start a maiden MRE of the Main and West Zones. Exploration plans for 2021 will be finalized upon the results for the
Far West Zone and the Joe Mann MRE. - Permitting preparation for mine dewatering is underway.
- 1,800 meters drilling program for Q2 2021 at the
Copper Cliff crown pillar and Zone 21 (both adjacent toCedar Bay ) to follow up on positive 2020 drill results (refer to news releaseAugust 5 , 2020). - Significant intercept from
Copper Cliff crown pillar included 7.3% Cu and 13.6 g/t Au over a true width of 2.3 meters (hole CDR-20-04C) at a vertical depth of 34 meters. - Zone 21 is the northeasternmost vein at
Cedar Bay (or the southwesternmost atCopper Cliff ) and was mined over a strike length of 150-200 meters, from 85 to 490 meters from surface. - Western half of Zone 21 is on Doré Copper land. Hole CDR-20-07 intersected 2.25 meters grading 4.9% Cu, 0.46 g/t Au and 8.6 g/t Ag approximately 40 meters beneath the lowest mining level.
- Permitting preparation for mine dewatering is underway.
Norbeau
- 3,000 metres drilling program for Q3 2021 to test the
Sharpe and New veins. Significant historical intercepts included 10.8 g/t Au over 2 meters (N-81-35), 2.4 g/t Au over 14 meters (N-81-11), and 11.2 g/t Au over 2 metres, including 95.3 g/t Au over 0.2 meters (N-81-22) at the New Vein and 4.1 g/t Au over 6 meters (SH-9-85) and 4.8 g/t Au over 2.8 meters (N-98) at theSharpe vein (refer to news release datedMarch 22 , 2021).
Other Exploration Targets
- 5,400 meters drilling program at other exploration targets on its properties, which include extensions and distinct new structures near established deposits.
Geophysics
- Participation in a geophysical survey whereby 5,000 ha of the Corporation’s land in the Lac Doré mining camp, including the Norbeau property, will be flown by a MAG survey by NOVATEM with a 25 meter spacing and 1,000 reading per second. This survey represents the most detailed geophysical survey ever done on Doré Copper’s properties. The survey is currently underway.
