After an encouraging first phase of drilling, Radisson Mining Resources (ME) is planning a 5,000-ft. program for the Lepine and Duquesne properties near Rouyn-Noranda, Que.
Operator and joint-venture partner Hemlo Gold Mines (TSE) can acquire half the project by spending $5 million over five years.
The first holes are planned for Lepine, where earlier drilling intersected a 22-ft.-long, strongly altered contact between variolitic mafic volcanics and ultramafic volcanics. Core assayed 0.04 oz. gold per ton over 7 ft. The Duquesne targets consist of a 3-mile-long, ultramafic-mafic contact which assayed 2.23 oz. over 4.9 ft., and the Duquesne fault. The latter returned gold values ranging up to 0.58 oz. from a sheared and altered grab sample taken at a felsic-mafic volcanic contact.
