Azimut Exploration Inc. Receives the Discovery of the Year Award from AEMQ
LONGUEUIL, Oct. 11, 2022 - Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut" or the "Company") (TSXV: AZM) (OTCQX: AZMTF) is pleased to announce that it has received the prestigious Discovery of the Year award from the Mineral Exploration Association of Quebec (AEMQ) for the discovery of the Patwon Gold Zone on the 100%-owned Elmer Property located in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. This award is granted to highlight the importance of a new discovery that produced a significant ripple effect on exploration activities with regards to both the property itself and the surrounding area.
The Azimut team is very honoured by this recognition from its peers. Advancing the Elmer discovery to reveal its full potential is an exciting enterprise for which the Azimut team is entirely committed despite the market turbulence.
The discovery of the Patwon Gold Zone was announced on January 14, 2020, following a maiden drilling program. At current time, Patwon has been delineated with 115 holes totalling 48,381 metres. The zone displays remarkable continuity from surface to a minimum vertical depth of 800 metres where it remains open at depth and probably along strike. The zone has been outlined over a strike length of nearly 600 metres, with an average estimated true width of 35 metres. Ongoing drilling aims to expand and optimize the shape of a potential open pit resource, as well as test several high-quality targets in the vicinity (see press releases of May 30, 2022 and September 13, 2022).
The best ten (10) holes previously released for the Patwon Zone are:
| from 254.00 m to 272.00 m | Estimated true width: | 17.12 m | |
| from 33.50 m to 136.00 m | 62.58 m | ||
| from 34.27 m to 142.50 m | 63.75 m | ||
| from 151.30 m to 241.50 m | 82.71 m | ||
| from 287.90 m to 328.50 m | 38.24 m | ||
