Exploration work

Following the closing of the first tranche of the released July 26 Private Placement, Tarku has started exploration work on his 100% owned Richardson and Bullion projects in Chibougamau area. Completed works included geological survey and prospecting with a Beep Mat device as well as a ground geophysical survey.

The prospection work and geological survey on the Richardson project outline the extension of the felsic tuff horizon which host the gold showing discovered by Eureka in 2016 (1.7 g/t Au; grab sample) over 1.4 km.

Magnetic and electromagnetic surveys were also completed at the end of August and covered 8.4 km on the Richardson project and 9.1 km on the Bullion project. The electromagnetic survey enables the identification of strong conductors on the Bullion project over a distance of 1 kilometer along the horizon that contains the historic gold value intercepted by drilling in 1984 (2 g/t Au over 2 m; drill hole T-1). A second area with strong conductors has also been identified 1.2 km east of the gold intercept. Isolated anomalies are also present on the Richardson project.

Ground follow-up of these geophysical conductors are planned over the next weeks by conducting prospection and stripping works. A first stripping zone will be centered on the Eureka gold showing on the Richardson project. A second stripping will target the surface expression of the drilled intersected gold value along the identified strong geophysical conductor of the Bullion project. Both projects show a potential to contain Au-Ag-Cu-Zn mineralization associated with disseminated or massive sulphides.

Tarku also planned to complete a till survey and prospection work on their Apollo (Au) and Atlas (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn) projects located in Matagami area.
