Upon securing necessary permits, the company plans to deploy a diamond drill rig at the O’Brien project by mid-December as part of the first phase of drilling, which is part of a larger program planned to be defined in 2016.
The company prepared a target definition report on the scale of the O’Brien project, which is located in the Bousquet-Cadillac mining camp along the Larder-Lake-Cadillac Fault.
The target definition report is based on recommendations which were included in the technical report prepared by independent firm InnovExplo in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 for the mineral resource estimate of the project.
In the report, InnovExplo identified 47 targets in the close proximity of preliminary infrastructures currently being produced in the course of the preliminary economic assessments (PEA) study which is currently underway.
InnovExplo also identified s 41 targets as possible extensions of currently identified ore shoots as well as 12 exploration targets with strong potential outside the resource area.
The first phase of the drill program will comprise 6,200m in area 1 to 5 to extend the ore shoots with potential to define new ore shoots.
Radisson partnered with InnovExplo and WSP for the completion of PEA.
