Skarb Reports on Exploration Work at the RDR Project, Quebec

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - December 20, 2019 – Skarb Exploration Corp.  (“Skarb” or the “Company”) (CSE:SKRB) (CNSX:SKRB.CN) is pleased to announce that it has completed phase 1 of its field exploration program at the RDR gold project (“the Project”). The exploration program was designed to follow-up historic results and delineate drill targets for gold and base metal mineralization on the property.

The RDR property is approximately 264km north-east of Val-d’Or in the province of Québec and 10km south-east of the town of Waswanipi. Access to the RDR Gold Project is via Québec Provincial Highway 113, which runs from Trans Canadian highway 117 near the hamlet of Louvicourt to Chibougamau.

Geology

The Project area is located in the central region of the Abitibi greenstone belt, within the Superior province. The claims are centered on a north-east band of intermediate tuffs intermixed with sedimentary volcanic rocks, in contact with a large layered ultramafic complex. The complex is bound to the north by a series of mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks. The contact between the tuffs and the ultramafics is defined by the regional-scale Lamarck Fault.

The presence of three, large-scale deformation corridors on the Property are interpreted to be favorable structures for anomalous lode gold mineralization. The contacts between the ultramafic complex and the tuffs of the Obatogamau and Ruisseau Dalime are additional areas of potential mineralization, whilst the presence of felsic volcanics shows potential for VMS-style deposits. Known analogous deposits include Lac Shortt and Lac Bachelor, which in addition to the host gold deposits, both show associations with local intrusions and structures of varying orientation.

Work Program and Results

A field work program was undertaken over August and September 2019 with a review of all work and results being completed in November and December 2019. Work included prospecting, mapping and rock geochemical sampling. A number of anomalies that merited further investigation were sought-out and prospected for mineral potential. Multiple anomalous gold-in-soil sample and rock sample locations were prospected for outcrop, visual mineralization, and potential drill sites.

18 rock grab geochemical samples were collected throughout the property while prospecting. The best results from the sampling program came from a sample (Sample no. 3217410) of highly chlorite altered gabbro with minor 1-2% pyrite and chaotic quartz stringers. This sample assayed 540 ppm Cu, and 6.3 ppb Au. The remaining samples typically showed elevated copper and gold however, the results do not justify immediate follow-up with drilling.

Following the 2019 work program the Company will now reassess plans for the Project and decide how to proceed in early 2020.
