Infill drilling at QMX Gold\u2019s Bonnefond deposit in Quebec has intersected near-surface, high-grade gold. <\/p>\n

The company has released six drillhole assays from the eastern half of this deposit, which targeted shear zones around a deeper intrusive unit.<\/p>\n

The drill highlights include 4 metres of 6.02 g\/t gold starting at 131 metres and 4.5 metres of 21.29 g\/t gold starting at 97.5 metres from shear zones south of the Bonnefond intrusive. Drilling targeting shear zones to the north of this unit returned 7 metres of 4.75 g\/t gold starting at 90.5 metres and 15 metres of 2.1 g\/t gold starting at 151.5 metres.<\/p>\n

A resource update for Bonnefond is expected in the next few months<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

\u201cWe will continue to build on the already existing resource at Bonnefond,\u201d Andreas Rompel, the company\u2019s VP of exploration, said in a release.<\/p>\n

Rompel added that QMX plans to continue drilling the shear zones at Bonnefond with additional drilling scheduled for the River and Poulmaque targets \u2013 at least 5,000 metres is planned for River and a further 3,000 metres is allocated for Poulmaque.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s infill work is now complete and QMX has started a 10,000-metre program, testing shear zones to the north of the current pit shell.<\/p>\n

A resource update for Bonnefond is expected in the next few months. With drilling at its 200-sq.-km Val d\u2019Or land package ongoing, additional exploration results will be released over the summer and fall.<\/p>\n

The Bonnefond deposit is within the eastern end of the Val d\u2019Or holding. Last year, QMX released a maiden pit-constrained resource for Bonnefond, with measured and indicated resources of 4.8 million tonnes grading 1.69 g\/t gold, containing 258,700 gold oz. and a further 2.4 million inferred tonnes at 1.87 g\/t gold, containing 145,100 oz. The majority of these resources are within the intrusive unit \u2013 shear zones contribute 72,000 inferred oz. to this total. Last year\u2019s estimate is based on a 0.75 g\/t gold cut-off grade.<\/p>\n
