ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, March 15, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources Inc. (TSXV: XTT) (FRANKFURT: XTR) ("X-Terra") is pleased to announce that the line cutting and IP geophysics team have mobilized to its 100% owned, 92 square kilometre Troilus East property located on the Frotet Evans greenstone belt, located approximately 130 kilometres north of the town of Chibougamau, Québec.
The program will cover three unique grids, including the new mineralized system discovered this past summer (See X-Terra press release dated August 13, 2020), with the goal of adding additional precision to the drill targets for a drill program to be launched shortly thereafter.
These three high priority targets are located about three kilometres east of the Troilus deposit (Troilus Gold, TSX: TLG) following the southwestern side of the property. The 2.2-kilometre-long target is based on the discovery by surface exploration of a polymetallic signature (Cu, Ag, Au, W). The mixed sequence of intermediate volcanic interlayered with dioritic intrusions identified in this area shares many similarities with Troilus gold's deposit.
* Refer to Troilus Gold's NI 43-101 Technical Report dated October 14, 2020 with an effective date of August 31, 2020 and entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Troilus Gold Project, Quebec, Canada", available on Troilus Gold's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
Michael Ferreira, President and Chief Executive Officer of X-Terra, stated; "We have been looking forward to this next step since receiving the results of our geochemical sampling program. It now brings X-Terra one step closer to the inaugural drill program at Troilus East and with the recent exploration success of Kenorland Minerals and most recently of Troilus Gold, it keeps shedding light on the vast possibility of additional gold occurrences along the underexplored greenstone belt. This survey will enable X-Terra to add precision to the drill targets in the upcoming drill program".
