Mobilises Diamond Drill Rig For Quebec Project
Black Tusk Resources Inc. (CSE:TUSK) has mobilised a diamond drill rig on the McKenzie East gold property located north of Val d’Or, Quebec. The drilling contractor is currently mobilising onto the first drill site following ground preparation.
Black Tusk has signed a contract with Forage Val d’Or for 2,500m of drilling on the McKenzie East project. Forage Val d’Or is a local-based contractor with knowledge and experience of drilling within the region. Drill targets include a combination of results obtained from soil sampling, magnetic surveying, IP surveying, and geological reconnaissance.
A total of nine drill pads have now been prepared to allow for alternative site selection as drilling progresses. Five primary targets were identified for initial drilling, with possible extension to the program following positive results. The company is permitted for up to 23 drill sites on the property.
The McKenzie Break Project is within two km west of the Black Tusk property. In June 2018, Monarch Gold Corporation reported a pit-constrained indicated resource of 939,860 tonnes grading 1.59 grams gold, and an underground indicated resource of 281,739 tonnes averaging 5.90 grams gold on the McKenzie Break.
The Black Tusk 2021 diamond drilling programme is supervised by VD Géo Service based in Val d’Or, as well as the company’s director Dr. Mathieu Piché. Core logging and sampling will be undertaken at a private facility, located adjacent to the property. The first core is expected to be at the processing facility within the week.
