Positive Initial Metallurgical Results From Elmer LONGUEUIL, QC, Nov. 22, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut" or the "Company") (TSXV: AZM) is pleased to report excellent preliminary metallurgical tests from two representative samples from the Patwon Gold Zone on the Company's 100% owned Elmer Property (the "Property") in the James Bay region of Quebec.
The test program conducted by SGS Canada Inc. included chemical and metallurgical characterization, comminution, and metallurgical testing. The objective was to obtain baseline grindability and recovery data for a gravity separation and gravity tailings cyanidation flowsheet.
Azimut has undertaken a 20,000-metre core drilling program to expand the Patwon Zone and prepare for a maiden NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate (see press release of October 18, 2021). The Patwon mineralized body presents a remarkably thick and continuous geometry currently defined over a strike length of 500 metres and to a minimum depth of 450 metres with an estimated true width averaging 35 metres. The core zone of this envelope, defined thus far by 25 drill hole intercepts, displays an average true width of 45 metres at an average grade of 2.86 g/t Au. The true width of the core zone can reach up to 82 metres (see press release of November 4, 2021).
