Metanor Resources Inc.: New Gold Corridor at Bachelor Mine
VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Mar 12, 2015) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) is pleased to announce that it has identified a new corridor with gold grades, located 860 m south of the Bachelor Mine.
This new structure was followed on a distance of 400 m long based from 4 drill holes from surface. As a reference, the gold structures presently mined at Bachelor are averaging 275 m long. More than 80 cuts grading gold between 0.5 and 10.9 g/T were obtained in these holes (see attached table). The geological context in the 4 holes presents similitude with the gold structures at the mine which are associated with hematized shears containing 1 to 8% of fine pyrite.
This new structure is located directly beside the limit of the high power inversed polarisation (HP IP) geophysical survey completed in the fall 2014. The presence of the tailing pond prevented the full coverage of the area with the geophysical survey. However, a HP IP trend is located 400 m east of the corridor identified by the 4 holes. No hole has been drilled between the new gold corridor and the geophysical conductor.
Metanor plans to concentrate it next surface exploration activities in this sector which present the best discovery potential on the Bachelor Property.

* Core length | ||||||
** Grade > 2.0 g/t |
The true width is between 50 and 75% of the core length obtained in diamond drill holes. The cap-off grade used in the analysis is 51.5 g/T or 1.5 oz Au. The samples were assayed by fire-assay at the Metanor assay lab. The quality control program of the assay results (QA QC) adopted by Metanor includes a minimum of 10% of controlled assays being conducted as well as verification by an independent external assay lab.
