The AGG is a first for the former producing property. It flies slower and lower than fixed wing surveys and should provide exceptional resolution. The Central, North and East Mill zones will be covered.<\/p>\n<p>AGG surveys measure the density changes between the lighter host rock and denser sulphide mineralization. At Pine Point the mineralization is exclusively a combination of sphalerite and galena, so the density difference should be easy to identify. Results of the survey are expected in August.<\/p>\n<p>The survey will be flown and processed by\u00a0CGG Canada Services\u00a0using its Falcon system on a helicopter platform known as HeliFalcon.<\/p>\n<p>Osisko Metals president and CEO Jeffrey Hussey said he is hoping the survey will result in a new discovery of a prismatic type deposit. \u201cPrevious operators simply did not have the tools we have today to generate targets at Pine Point,\u201d he said in a news release.<\/p>\n<p>Osisko has already identified an inferred Pine Point resource of 38.4 million tonnes grading 4.58% zinc and 1.85% lead.<\/p>\n<p><em>(This article first appeared in the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianminingjournal.com\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" Canadian Mining Journal
