Company has started a 1,200 to 1,500m diamond drilling programme recently on the Beauchastel property located about 15km WNW of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec.

The property comprises 22 contiguous claims straddling the Beauchastel and Duprat township boundary for a surface area of 800ha underlain by volcanic rocks of the Blake River Group.

The current drilling programme will define the geometry and the possible extensions of the known gold mineralisation.

The company and its partner Aurvista Gold have started a 12,000m diamond-drilling programme on several targets of the Douay project.

The current drilling programme will also be testing near-surface mineralised extensions of the Porphyre Zone, as well as the unexplored sectors along the Contact Zone located at the interface between conglomerates and syenitic intrusions.
