The
property is located southeast of
Amos, Quebec,
in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. It is 100% owned by Cogitore, subject to a 50% back in
right held by Inmet Mining Corporation, and is accessible via public and logging roads which run across the
project area.
It is
dominantly underlain by
quartz-phyric rhyolites, rhyolitic lapilli to block-size tuffs,
agglomerates,
dacites, narrow bands of clastic sediments and argillites. The
Landrienne
property encloses the Landome VMS deposit with historical resources* of
250,000
tonnes grading 2.5% copper and 2.0% zinc. Compilation of data revealed
that the
large (250 m
x 3km) and strong hydrothermal system associated with Cu-Zn
mineralization at
the Landome VMS deposit is but one part of an 8 km long alteration
zone that
continues to the east into the whole Landrienne property. Numerous
drill
intersections showing elevated copper and zinc values are found at
Landrienne
and, significantly, the chemical signature of rhyolites at Landrienne
is
typical of that found in highly prospective VMS mining camps of the
Abitibi
belt (such as at as Kidd Creek).
Deep
penetrating (Time Domain EM)
surveys have now been completed over most of the property and the best
conductors have been tested either by Cogitore or by former property
owners. Additional
field work is proposed in the vicinity of the last two holes of the
2005
campaign in order to assess the significance and strength of alteration
observed in the recent (2005) drilling. Surface showings around the
drilling
area will be examined to better understand the volcanic facies and to
define
future drilling targets.
