BMEX Gold Announces Fall Exploration Program Targeting Precious Metal Rich VMS At Dunlop Bay, Quebec

06.09.2023  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, September 6, 2023 - BMEX Gold Inc. (TSXV: BMEX) (FSE: 8M0) ("BMEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its fall exploration program at Dunlop Bay, contingent upon the closing of its $1,000,000 financing announced on August 29, 2023.

Following a successful summer exploration program that tested the gold vein system at Dunlop Bay, BMEX intends to drill approximately 4,000 m into its VMS targets at both Dunlop Bay Ouest (DBO) and Dunlop Bay Nord (DBN). At DBO, a strong Cu-Au-Mo correlation is observed in assays from sulfide-rich rocks, which are typical of partially magmatic-derived fluids. The intrusion is already known to be widely mineralized by Au-bearing quartz-carbonate-pyrite vein swarms. As a result of extensive data integration and subsequent interpretation, BMEX's technical team has proposed a revised model for precious metal rich massive sulfides at DBO. The team recognized Dunlop Bay's geology, stratigraphy, and rock geochemistry were similar to three prolific regions in the area. As a reminder, BMEX drill hole BD-22-02 intersected over seven meters of combined massive sulfides and massive magnetite, see Figure 1 and October 25, 2022 news release.

  • Whole rock analysis made on DBO drill holes confirm the presence and continuity of a calco-alkaline felsic unit along DBO mineralized horizon. Geochemical signatures of this rocks shows analogous pattern to other known felsic rocks hosting gold-rich VMS like LaRonde (Bousquet mining camp, Mercier-Langevin, 2007). The multielement diagram and mapping of DBO felsic unit are presented in Figure 2.
  • In addition, the B26-Brouillan deposit, owned by Soquem Inc., located 100 km directly west of DBO and 8 km from the former Selbaie Mine, shows rhyolites with similar geochemistry (Fayard, 2020) to the felsic rocks from DBO. The indicated resource at B26 Brouillan totals 6.97 Mt at 1.32% Cu, 1.80% Zn, 0.60 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag. The inferred resource totals 4.41 Mt at 2.03% Cu, 0.22% Zn, 1.07 g/t Au and 9 g/t Ag (SOQUEM, press release, March 4, 2018).
  • The Daniel-25 (GM 70611) zone identified by Glencore lies 30 km west of Dunlop Bay and also bears a similar geochemical signature host rock to DBO. The area has been known to be the host of massive sulfides for at least a decade. Originally, exploration of this area intersected several barren massive sulfides before discovering the Zn-Cu-Au-Ag rich lens discovery in 2015. The best results from drilling between 2015 and 2017 included 4.69% Zn, 0.67% Cu, 0.137 g/t Au and 9.8 g/t Ag over 7.65 m (DAN-15-25); 3.05% Zn, 4.51% Cu, 0.33 g/t Au and 31.79 g/t Ag over 8 m (DAN-15-27); 5.74% Zn, 2.37% Cu, 0.37 g/t Au and 22.85 g/t Ag over 10.3 m (DAN-16-36); 2.88% Cu over 3.2 m and 10.19% Zn over 2 m, as well as 160.1 g/t Ag over 1 m (DAN-16-54).

"We are very intrigued by the newly evolved model for the Dunlop Bay Ouest-Nord asset, and we believe this upcoming drill program will prove to be very significant," said Robert Pryde, President and CEO of BMEX Gold. "Previous drilling by BMEX had targeted typical Matagami zinc-rich VMS style mineralization. The drill program will use our new geological interpretation to better target the fall 2023 drilling. At the same time we look forward to seeing the results from our summer 2023 trenching program on the gold vein targets at the Dunlop Bay s.s. Marcelle-Rolande-Edith gold-bearing trend."

The upcoming 4,000 m drill program will be comprised of eight holes testing VMS targets at both the Dunlop Bay Ouest and Dunlop Bay Nord (see Figure 3 and 4).

Dunlop Bay Ouest (DBO)

  • Target #1 focuses on the center of an untested punctual high-MAG located along the main EM conductor. The edge of this high-MAG returned more than 7 m of combined massive sulfides and massive magnetite hosted in the favorable felsic horizon. The proposed drill hole targets are 100 m step-out from previously drilled DDH GC-91-15 in which a large off-hole conductor was identified during a recent Bore Hole Electro Magnetic (BHEM) survey.
  • Target #2 aims at intersecting Cu-Au-Mo rich sulfide mineralization along the conductor within the intrusion.
  • Target #3 aims at punctual high-MAG within the intrusion boundary, close to where historical DDHs 1300-N1 and 1300-N2 intersected over 30 gold-bearing veins and veinlets across 50 m of the intrusion. Target #3 will also test the fold hinge within the volcanics just west of the high-MAG.
  • Target #4 will test the border between the DBO and the Southern domain, in which high-grade Au veins strikes at a N110 bearing (Marcelle, Rolande, etc.).
  • Target #5 will test the conductive southern limb of the DBO, this is a favorable horizon where strong Hashimoto alteration index are observed.

Dunlop Bay Nord (DBN)

  • Targets #6, #7 and #8 are aimed at testing the lateral and vertical continuity of known Au-Zn sulfide mineralization.

Marcelle-Rolande-Edith Gold-Bearing Trend Update

During the summer of 2023, the Company assessed several highly prospective gold bearing vein trends within the Marcelle-Rolande-Edith trend. Seven high priority targets were identified, from which five were trenched to date of which three successfully reached bedrock. Trenching assay results are pending. A second phase of trenching is planned prior to winter 2023.

In respect of the Company's previously announced offering of up to 5,000,000 units at $0.04 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $200,000 (the "Offering"), the Company confirms that no funds from the Offering will be used for payments to non-arm's length persons (other than normal course payments to officers of the Company), and no funds from the Offering will be used for payments to persons conducting Investor Relations Activities.
