Overview

About the project

The Dragon Gold project comprises 100 claims in 11 blocks covering 5,539 ha, held 100% by MRB and F. Guillemette, along Route 167 about 25 km north-east of Chibougamau, in the Chapais–Chibougamau area of Québec. It covers six sectors: 3a Dragon Gold 167, 3b Zone 32, 3c Dragon NE / Waconichi, 3d Cummings, 3e Dragon West and 3f Route du Nord.

Gold is associated with quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP) dykes, the largest concentration of these dykes in the region. The main dyke at 3a is about 1.4 km long and 100 to 150 m wide, yet it has been tested by only four drill holes and never drilled at depth. Of the 84 QFP dykes identified on nine map sheets, 40 lie on the Dragon Gold project.

Stripping of the central outcrop along Route 167 in 2016 returned 0.64 g/t Au over 28 m in channel samples, including 6.33 g/t Au over 1 m: every channel of the showing carries gold. A new forestry road now reaches the 32 g/t Au boulder of Zone 32. MRB interprets the project as a possible eastern extension of the Norbeau gold veins and sees the QFP dykes as candidates for ore sorting.

Exploration targets

Targets for the next phase

Exploration targets are conceptual in nature and subject to further exploration work. They are not mineral resources.

  1. Target 01 · Block 3a

    Main QFP dyke

    About 1.4 km long and 100 to 150 m wide, the dyke has been tested by only four drill holes; hole WA-94-02 was sampled over only 5 m.

  2. Target 02 · Block 3b

    QFP dykes around the 32 g/t Au boulder

    Multiple QFP dykes remain to be tested around the 1988 boulder. A new forestry road now gives access for trenching, and forestry cuts are planned over the next five years.

  3. Target 03

    40 QFP dykes on the project

    40 of the 84 QFP dykes identified on nine map sheets lie on Dragon Gold, most of them untested.

  4. Target 04 · Block 3a

    Below the central stripping

    Stripping, channel sampling and induced polarization (IP) over the QFP dykes, then drilling below the central stripping down to 300 m, at Zone 32 and on the chargeable zones.
