SOQUEM updates resource estimate for B26 polymetallic deposit in Quebec

Ressources Quebec Inc unit SOQUEM Inc. updated the resource estimate for the B26 polymetallic deposit in Quebec.

The resource now contains indicated resources of 6.97 million tonnes at 1.32% copper, 1.80% zinc, 0.60 g/t gold and 43 g/t silver.

Inferred resources total 4.41 million tonnes at 2.03% copper, 0.22% zinc, 1.07 g/t gold and 9 g/t silver, according to a March 4 release.

In-pit indicated resources total 811,000 tonnes at 1.48% copper, 0.43% zinc, 0.89 g/t gold and 28 g/t silver, while in-pit inferred resources total 14,000 tonnes at 1.33% copper, 0.01% zinc, 0.19 g/t gold and 2 g/t silver.

The underground deposit hosts indicated resources of 6.16 million tonnes at 1.30% copper, 1.98% zinc, 0.56 g/t gold and 45 g/t silver and inferred resources of 4.39 million tonnes at 2.03% copper, 0.22% zinc, 1.08 g/t gold and 9 g/t silver.

The B26 deposit is open at depth and laterally, and an exploration program is planned this year to evaluate the potential of other mineralized occurrences with a similar signature.
