COURCY PROPERTY
Localization
The Courcy property contains 341 claims covering an area of 178.1 km² and is located less than 100 km west of Fermont, Quebec.
Ownership
Stelmine holds 100% of the claim rights.
Description
The Courcy property produced several gold discoveries in a new mining district located in the eastern part of the Opinaca metasedimentary basin. The basin presents a high potential for discovering gold deposits in a similar geological context to that of the Éléonore Mine.
Highlights
The Couteau and Brulis thrust faults are two major structures extending 21 km and carrying gold mineralization. At the core of the property, the Couteau fault divides the Soulard Formation into two volcanic sub-units along iron-rich garnet and sulphide-bearing amphibolites and silicate-facies iron formations (Zones 1 & 2). The Brulis thrust fault marks the contact between the Soulard volcanic package and the Atsynia sedimentary group (Zones 3 & 4).
