Power Ore Creates District Scale Chibougamau Land Package with 9,055 Hectare Expansion Including Past Producing Robitaille & Cooke Mines

28.02.2020  |  CNW

TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2020 - Power Ore Inc. ("Power Ore" or the "Company") (TSX.V: PORE) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with 2736-1179 Quebec Inc. to acquire the past producing Robitaille (Copper) and Cooke (Gold) Mines, both former Falconbridge mines. This acquisition also increases the Opemiska Copper Complex property from 797 hectares to 9,852 hectares. This new land package is contiguous to the Springer and Perry Mines as well as Yorbeau Resources' Scott Lake deposit, and covers ~12KM of the Gwillin Fault, a key structural feature controlling regional mineralization providing for significantly more exploration potential.

"This is an important acquisition as it gives us 12KM of coverage along the Gwillim Fault while adding two past producing mines in the Robitaille and Cooke, the latter of which produced high grade gold. We will continue to develop resources in and around the former producing mines, as we have with Springer, but the addition of 9,000 hectares opens us up for additional discovery targets, many of which have already been identified for follow up," said Stephen Stewart, Power Ore's CEO.

Exploration Potential of the Expanded Opemiska Copper Mine Complex

The expanded Opemiska land package consists of four potential deposit types which will need follow up studies. These include:

1. Opemiska Copper-Gold Type (Springer, Perry and Robitaille Mines),
2. Opemiska Gold-Copper Type (Cooke Mine),
3. Blondeau Type Volcanegenic Massive Sulphide (VMS), and
4. Scott-Lemoine Type VMS.

The vicinity of the Cooke mine is host to gold-rich veins of the Opemiska-type as well as VMS-type mineralized zones that were discovered underground at the mine and consists of a massive and disseminated sulphide horizon in felsic tuffs of the Blondeau Formation.

Throughout Power Ore's land package, on both sides of the Gwillim Fault numerous copper-gold veins have been encountered in drilling but in most cases the orientations of the veins could not be ascertained. The focus of Power Ore's exploration will be on ascertaining the correct orientation of the veins in order to increase our chances of making a discovery within a well endowned copper-gold system. Further review of all past mineralied drill intersections is warranted as they could represent major new Opemiska-type veins.

In the northeast corner of the property the volcanic rocks are on the south limb of the Chibougamau anticline, with the nearby north limb hosting Yorbeau's Scott Lake VMS Deposit. This contact may be present on the Power Ore's land package, and if so would merit detailed exploration to test for this attractive deposit type.
