O3 Mining Inc. (TSX.V: Olll) has provided new drilling results from the Marban project in Val d’Or, Que., as part of its well-financed 150,000-metre drilling program.

.

Current drilling on the Malartic property is focused on expanding mineralisation outside of the proposed pit areas (outlined in the Marban preliminary economic assessment (PEA) released Sept. 8, 2020) and identifying high-grade oreshoots. The 2020 to 2021 drilling program includes 45,000 metres for the Malartic property to test extensions along strike and down plunge of the deposits and zones outside of these areas.

.

“Gold Hawk is shaping up to be a very promising potential high-grade satellite deposit for the Marban mine development project, just two kilometres away. The high-grade intercepts confirm the exceptional high-grade characteristic of the gold deposits along the prolific Marbenite shear corridor giving us the confidence to continue the drill program to more quickly unlock its potential and build resources there,” said president and chief executive officer Jose Vizquerra.

.

New assay results from seven drill holes drilled down plunge at the Gold Hawk zone include the following.

.

Drilling highlights

  • 383.4 grams per tonne Au over 2.0 metres in hole O3MA-20-008, including 1,510 g/t Au over 0.5 metre;
  • 1.8 g/t Au over 5.0 metres in hole O3MA-20-002;
  • 16.8 g/t Au over 0.5 metre in hole O3MA-20-003.

A 3-D model of the Marban deposit and the Gold Hawk zone is available on the company’s website.

These drill holes targeted extensions down plunge of the Gold Hawk zone. The zone is emplaced along the Marbenite shear, one of the main structures in the district which hosts the Marban and Orion No. 8 deposits as well as Wesdome’s Kiena deposit. The drill holes hit the Gold Hawk zone between 390 metres and 570 metres below surface at 50- to 100-metre spacing. There are pending results from three follow-up drill holes around O3 MA-20-008. The encouraging results received so far from Gold Hawk support a decision to continue the exploration program to further explore the mineralisation extensions of hole O3MA-20-008, which remain open to the west and at depth.

Drill hole O3MA-20-008 intersected two mineralised intervals within the Gold Hawk zone. The first interval returned 383.4 g/t Au over 2.0 metres including 1,510 g/t Au over 0.5 metre. Mineralisation is associated with visible gold and traces of pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite within quartz veinlets in basalt at the contact with a komatiite. The second interval, four metres deeper, returned 5.3 g/t Au over 1.1 metres. Mineralisation is associated with quartz-carbonate veinlets within a komatiite. Drill hole O3MA-20-002 intersected 1.8 g/t Au over 5.0 metres along the same basalt-komatiite contact as O3MA-20-008. Mineralisation is associated with visible gold within quartz-carbonate veinlets in a komatiite.

.

Drill hole O3MA-20-003 intersected 16.8 g/t Au over 0.5 metre. Mineralisation is associated with talc-calcite veinlets crosscutting komatiite. Drill hole O3MA-20-001 intersected 4.4 g/t Au over 1.5 metres. Mineralisation consists of up to 1 per cent disseminated pyrite and dismembered quartz-carbonate veinlets within a granodiorite.
