Monarch intersects high-grade gold on Beaufor property
M
onarch Mining Corporation has identified multiple highgrade gold intersections from underground and surface exploration drilling on its wholly-owned Beaufor Mine gold project, 20 kilometres east of Val-d’Or, Québec.
The results include several high-grade assays, including 187.0 g/t Au over 0.5m, 151.5 g/t Au over 0.5m and 147.5 g/t Au over 0.3m, as Monarch continues to test for potential resources in proximity to the historical mine. Opened in the early 1930s, the Beaufor Mine has produced over 1.1 million ounces of gold. The mine is currently on care and maintenance, so Monarch has taken the opportunity to drill-test targets throughout the mine area. In June 2020, the Corporation initiated a 42,500-metre diamond drilling program to test two types of targets: the areas around historical highgrade intersections near the existing underground infrastructure, and isolated
Hayward Gordon Group supplies three brands for pumping and mixing operations: Hayward Gordon, Sharpe Mixers and Scott Turbon Mixer. “We’re excited about partnering with Weir Minerals and leveraging their extensive sales and service network,” said Jon Weiner, CEO at Hayward Gordon Group. “Partnering to cover all of LATAM is an important first step, and we are moving quickly to expand this relationship into other areas of the world where Weir Minerals excels at supporting mining and exploration operations.”
resource blocks, which are typically defined by a single drill intersection. Both of these ‘near-mine’ targets can often be tested from the existing underground workings, generally by holes less than 200 metres long. Currently, 275 holes are planned or are already being drilled at 25-metre centres. If positive results are received, additional holes will be drilled to allow the zones in question to be converted into reserves and included in a future mine plan. “We are thrilled with the results received to date,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and CEO of Monarch. “Our near-mine exploration drilling program continues to yield high-grade results as we intersect new mineralized zones and extensions of known zones outside the previously defined resource envelope. Monarch’s goal is to significantly increase the near-mine resource so that a minimal amount of new development and capital will be required to put the mine back into production in the short term.” World Mining Magazine www.ogsmag.com
