LONGUEUIL, QC, Nov. 20, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut" or the "Company") (TSXV: AZM) is pleased to report the results of a preliminary assessment program on its recently acquired wholly-owned Elmer Property located in the James Bay region of Quebec.

The best gold grades from this high-grade property include 77.8 g/t Au and 167.0 g/t Ag at the Gabbro Zone, 54.6 g/t Au at the Patwon Zone and 8.56 g/t Au at the Gold Zone (grab samples; see Figures 1 to 3).

These new results strengthen the exploration potential of the Property where a gold-bearing corridor 12 kilometres long by up to 3 kilometres wide represents a major underexplored target.

Azimut will conduct a significant program in 2019 before drilling. The program will include systematic prospecting, channel sampling and mechanized stripping.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The three-day field program on the Property covered three underexplored prospects: Gabbro, Patwon and Gold;
  • The 46 samples, including 30 grab and 16 channel samples, yielded the following significant results:

    Gabbro Zone (11 samples including 4 samples with grades above 1.0 g/t Au)
    7.98 g/t Au, 18.43 g/t Ag over 0.55 m (channel)
    77.8 g/t Au, 167.0 g/t Ag (grab)
    60.4 g/t Au, 122.0 g/t Ag (grab)
    6.11 g/t Au, 9.49 g/t Ag (grab)

    Patwon Zone (28 samples including 15 samples with grades above 1.0 g/t Au)

    2.90 g/t Au over 3.50 m (channel)
    5.29 g/t Au over 0.60 m (channel)
    54.6 g/t Au, 6.44 g/t Ag (grab)
    5.61 g/t Au, 14.25 g/t Ag (grab)
    4.57 g/t Au (grab)
    2.94 g/t Au (grab)

    Gold Zone (7 samples including 2 samples with grades above 1.0 g/t Au)

    8.56 g/t Au (grab)
    1.28 g/t Au, 0.158% Cu (grab)

    Grab samples collected during prospecting are selective by nature and unlikely to represent average grades.

  • Preliminary observations of gold mineralization are as follows: Gabbro Zone: hematized and boudinaged quartz veins with traces of pyrite hosted in sheared gabbro; Patwon Zone: quartz veins and quartz-ankerite stockwork with pyrite in the wall rock, hosted in sheared mafic metavolcanics; Gold Zone: quartz-ankerite veins with pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite hosted in sericitized mafic metavolcanics.

Azimut acquired the Elmer Property (190 claims, 99 km2) by map designation (see press release of September 13, 2018). It is located 285 kilometres north of Matagami, 60 kilometres east of the municipality of Eastmain, and 40 kilometres west of the James Bay Road, a major paved highway.

This press release was prepared by Dr. Jean-Marc Lulin, P.Geo., acting as Azimut's qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.
